thanks for the greetz !
endlessness, The laws down here have been interesting over the past few years .. when i first came over form the usa i was so happy that there was a shop where i could buy salvia divinorum 50x extract
.. but the prevalent " legal highs" were mostly bzp and other nasty stuff which at best gave you a caffeine overdose and a massive bad hangover headache yucky feeling for the next day or 2 ...
we have had one mp in particular a few years back go quite keen on banning most things ... she ended up being fired after submitting a request to the health minister to ban
[url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/38005/National-MP-falls-victim-to-water-hoax]water[/url] ( She fell into a long standing hoax to catch out people who make laws regarding substances they know nothing about )
I am also saddened by recent Prosecution of a young man in his early 20's ... he attempted to import 18kgs of MHRB .. He was charged with importation of 18kgs of pure DMT .. since the law is structured so that if an organism contains a banned substance then the charge will be for the total weight of materials , regardless of concentration.
Following this logic I think Avacodo and cirtus fruit growers should be concerned
story here
We are the only country allowing iboga as an unclassified prescription drug too , and a very good study going on on our south island .. This also opened the door for a little less clinical situation in the far north , which unfortunately had a death of one of the patients there , which could be used by media to "prove the dangers"...
We are allowed to grown San Pedro and Peruvian torch as ornamental plants : , along with Saliva as a houseplant , so some things are nice
What is the most difficult for SWIM is finding source material for any potential extraction .. Since we are an island nation we have probably the most strict bio-security , so plant materials of any kind are extremely hard to get brought in .. and I personally haven't heard of any reliable source of information about any plants that grow here locally .. there are rumors about grasses ( also rumors that they contain poisons and other undesirable alkaloids ) . So the trouble SWIM is having is that even if someone pointed him to the exact species he would need to find , his confidence in his own identification skills is low , and the risks that come along with getting it wrong are many .
Another issue for SWIM is here in NZ there seems to be a lot of people making "P" (the local nasty version of speed) , or at least a lot of police concern about it any way ... things like LYE , HCL , sepratory funnels and glass tobacco pipes are very hard to come by and buying many of the required items will get you onto a watch-list pretty quick from my understanding ..
SWIM recently attended the Entheogenesis Australis - EGA 10 year anniversary in Melbourne Australia ... Many Many great minds there .. and interesting things happening in the legal space .. NZ tends to have similar legal moments to OZ in many spaces so watching that space closely ..
