I heard an interesting snippet on the teev this evening. During the later stages of WW2 the Japanese planned a biological attack on San Diego. The Yanks got wind of it and sent a message to the Japanese war office telling them they were aware of the plan and they also knew where every member of the war office lived and threatened to attack each of them personally if they went ahead with their plan. The Japanese had a fleet of aircraft carrying submarines assembled at Panama and were all set to go. In the event the planned attack was abandoned and the fleet was sent on other duties.
Notwal I think they were talking about a script with Mel Giboon, or young
Jamie Bond [allans son] but it was definite fantasy. ww2 jap aircraft capable of carrying Subs.?? That was the give away. Have you seen the midget sub that attacked Sydney [ mounted outside the war memorial Canberra]. I think they were pulling your leg Wal, and they did it good. Take a bex and have a lie down!!

Well I kind of liked 2ct7 very different to LSD; 5MEO-Dipt was really good for being intimate with the Mrs; 5 meo-dmt would completely fark u for 4 minutes... see they're all different producing different sensations and effects...
I would be very grateful to any one who could point me in the direction of a paddock where I may partake in nature's chemistry.
