Um... no.
Have you never heard of Peyote Way?
ANYBODY white, black, blue or whatever can join peyote way and legally eat peyote.
Y'all need to keep up.
I was refering to starting a chapter or whatever the smaller unit in that organization is called. I know anyone can join, but I doubt anyone can start one up anywhere, honestly i've never looked into that though.
MDMA is not in cacti, sorry. Perhaps some distantly related compounds...
This comment was based on a snippet from PiHKAL. And i don't think its been disproven. In fact there are loads of weird different methylene dioxy compounds in peyote, and potentially other cacti, I don't know b/c they haven't been studied that well. I doubt you can know what the collective science of botany hasn't found or addressed yet.
I know exactly what your talking about and no, that was proved to be a myth.
Look into it more and you'll see.
Link to study amphetamine & a few other previously "synthetic" chemicals have been found in acacia sp.
Link to another study. Granted these results haven't been repeated, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't accurate, just that further work needs to be done.
No. It's easy to see the difference between a tree and a car.
The "natural order" and natural are two different things. Of course it's ok for chimps and humans to use tools, but that doesn't suddenly turn the tools into organic, natural things.
Part of me doesn't want to dignify this with a response, however i will. Various birds have also been known to use sticks, and in studies stick-like objects, to obtain desired objects. This is natural yes? What about when the researcher replaces the stick with a plastic straw or thin piece of wire? No longer natural behavior? Tool using & innovation is very natural. Funny you use the word organic, as most "synthetic" psychoactives are considered organic chemicals. And in as far as the tree vs. car comment goes, what about a wooden wagon? thats made from a tree, these eventually led to cars. What about older cars made out of metals extant in nature vs. the plastic ones of today. Rubber is natural, so then would the tire tread be? Its ultimately impossible to separate because we are products of the planet we live on.
No.
Where in the world does heroin occur in nature? Kinda like the acacia that makes meth?
I misspoke there, I meant codeine. The reason I was referring to codeine is that though it is a "natural" alkaloid, it doesn't always make a great medicine, since some people, most commonly those of asian descent, lack the proper enzymes to metabolize it into morphine, as codeine is just a pro-drug. These people would then require a "synthetic" drug for whatever codeine was going to be used for. Granted they could just take morphine, but i don't see any doctors prescribing that for a cough.
