Schoolies warned of herbal party drugs

Jessica Elder | November 8th, 2011

SENIOR Gold Coast police are warning schoolies to play it safe and stay away from potentially deadly over-the-counter herbal party drugs.

The caution comes after a man was arrested for selling DMT on the Coast last week.

DMT, also known as black wattle or dreamtime mix, is a herbal plant extract that when ingested or injected gives a hallucinogenic effect.

The drug, which until six months ago was freely sold in alternative stores, has now been outlawed.

An internal notice has been circulated through all Gold Coast police stations alerting officers to its presence on city streets and detective Chris Toohey said police would target the sale of DMT during Schoolies..

Other potent herbal party drugs are still readily available, including "Empathy -- The Love", which is said to have psychedelic effects and referred to as "legal ecstasy".

Users have complained of suffering vomiting and fevers.

Gold Coast CIB detective Tim Tresize said it was difficult to police unregistered herbal drugs.

"There are dangerous legal drugs on the market and school leavers need to use their heads and stay away from them," he said.

Errrm, DMT has been illegal for years and nowhere near herbal LOL Where do these journalists get their info from?
 
I wanna know who comes up with these names. Can you imagine calling a your dealer 'hey man you have any dreamtime mix left?'
 
lol piss weak research, there just so outa the loop
 
LOL.

More appropriate journalism would sound something like:

DMT, which is almost ubiquitous in nature - even being produce naturally in the human organism - can bring about the most profound spiritual experiences, and should be avoided by those who are not mentally prepared to enter a completely alien (yet somehow entirely natural) psychological reality.

Now here's Tom with the weather.

This is a very poorly written article. Six months ago? The majority of herbal high stores stopped selling it a while before then, though it could still rarely be found if you asked around.

And I don't think DMT is much of a party drug anyhow. Any 'schoolies' who think a few hits of the old dimethyltryptamine would be a good idea for going out and 'socializing' may be in for a big surprise.

Can you imagine? 8( 8o

This is probably the funniest article I've ever read.
 
I am pretty sure Dreamtime was the name of a mild changa mix that was sold fairly openly at a certain well known head shop until a while back, might of been more than 6 months though. I assume the laws they are referring to are those ridiculous ones that proposed banning any and every plant containing DMT? I don't even remember if that joke went ahead or not.

I doubt DMT has ever been too popular during schoolies, and if anything a warning like this will probably only serve to motivate a few more idiots to try and seek it out.

I do find the notion of 'targetting' DMT during Schoolies very funny though, haha, really goes to show how much enforcement of drug laws is based on nothing more than fear mongering and hysteria.

It was 5 years ago the last time I bought any from them.
 
^ Fair enough, I never bought the shit myself just heard about it, no real idea what time scale they were selling it on but I was just pointing out thats probably where the author got the name dreamtime from.

Back -5 years ago the (certain store, others talk of) had dreamtime for sale not to mention Por de Arco leaf (dmt) under the counter.....good stuff that changa mix either way!!!! ahh the media world is so far behind todays society of drugs lol

I reckon 90%+ of schoolies don't even know what it is... well they do now and I bet a whole bunch of kids are gonna have their mind's opened up this summer :\

They got busted selling it 5 years ago and it was fairly high profile. That is probably where the reporter got the name from.
 
Yeah, banning all DMT containing plants, an interesting idea! We'd have to clear all the native acacia species for a start and check everyones gardens for literally hundreds of potentially illegal plants. What an interesting, human resource draining and expensive idea!

It's pretty messed up really, thats a massive amount of plants, and the amount of people that would instantly unknowingly become criminals would be in the thousands (probably much more)
 
^ It has to get to a point where someone just says "What the fuck are we doing?", I heard this one a while back and thought it was some insanely right wing lone nut who somehow scraped together a political career.

It has come to banning all psychoactive plants? The idea of going through ever persons backyard to find all potentially psychoactive plants is almost as stupid as trying to ban the fucking sun for causing skin cancer.

I'm sorry but I'm putting my foot down on this one, if the Government seriously are proposing this, we need a change in leadership because enough is just enough.
By the way if you're going to chop down all of these trees as proposed Mr. Government people, you obviously don't give two shits about the environment, so how about returning the fucking plastic bags to the ACT!!!

This shit is getting insane!
