Newsgroups: alt.drugs Subject: addresses faq biweekly post Date: 1 Jun 1995 05:58:09 -0500 PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO *NOT* MAINTAIN *ANY* MAILING LISTS. PLEASE DO *NOT* SEND ME MAIL ASKING TO BE ADDED TO MY "LIST". THERE IS NO LIST. This is an automatically generated bi-weekly posting of my addresses list. If you have anything to add to this list (comments, missing places), please post AND mail me. PLEASE CHECK THE FUCKING LIST TO SEE IF WHAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO IT IS ALREADY ON IT FIRST!! (can you tell I get a lot of junkmail? :^) ============================================================================ A few things: 1. the places listed below are legitamate businesses. Their primary purpose for being (well their stated purpose anyway) is NOT to supply heads with stuff that will get them high. Do NOT call or write these places acting like you plan on using anything they carry for illicit purposes. 2. I have provided comments on the places that I have personal experience with. If you have experience with any of these places, please post or email me with your impression of their service, product, etc. If you know of any mail order places that carry neat stuff and aren't listed here, PLEASE let me know about them somehow. And if you find that I've made a mistake in any of the addresses/phone numbers/information presented below, please let me know. 3. If you have questions about any of the substances or companies mentioned here, please POST them if at all possible. If you can't post, email me and I'll either try to answer or post it anonymously for you. 4. You can get catalogs from most of these places by calling or writing. If no price is listed for a catalog, it means I'm not sure if the place charges for one or not. I usually send a buck when I write for a catalog just to avoid the hassle of having them write me back saying "we're sorry, but you must include 50 cents when requesting a catalog...." Catalogs from these places can range from really informative, well-done booklets to 1 sheet order forms. 5. abbreviations: HBWR: Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds; one ounce of HBWR contains about 100 seeds. HLWR: Hawaiian Large Woodrose seeds. MG: Morning Glory seeds. cheers, vince ============================================================================ ...of the jungle P.O. Box 1801 Sebastopol, CA 95473 (707) ???-???? Carries: seeds, plants, and prepared herbs too numerous to mention. Comments: Very well done catalog; extremely informative. ...of the jungle probably carries a wider variety of nifty botanicals than any other mail order place. Prices are pretty good; service pretty good. Catalog is $2. MG: 25 seeds/$1.50; HBWR: 11/$2.50; 100/$10 -------------------------------- Island Spore Co. P.O. box 8055 Honolulu, Hawaii 96830 Carries: HBWR, HLWR, Betel Nuts, Kava Kava, Imported Poppy Seeds (species not specified), Sensitive plant seeds. Comments: Took about a month to get their ONE PAGE order sheet in the mail. Extremely pricey compared to other vendors. HBWR: 21/$20; 1 oz./$75; 1 lb./$1000 (yeah, right); HLWR: 15/$20; 1 oz/$75; 1 lb/$850 (oh, they're givin' them away!!); -------------------------------- T.A.E. 1935 S. Plum Grove Rd. Suite #348 Palatine, IL 60067 (708) 255-4982 Carries: HBWR, HLWR, Kava Kava, Broom, Black Morrocan (lettuce opium "incense"), some other stuff. Comments: Highly recommended. Incredibly fast service (orders filled same day they are received; 1 week TOTAL turnaround time for an order placed from TX). Very helpful over the phone. Decent prices. Write or call for Free order sheet/brochure. A tip: don't mess with the "Black Morrocan", it's useless. HBWR: .5 oz/$25; 1 oz/$40; 4 oz/$110; 1 lb/$325; HLWR: 2 oz/$30; 8 oz/$90; 1 lb/$150. -------------------------------- Horus Botanicals HCR 82 Box 29 Salem ARK. 72576 Carries: Tons of nifty shit. Prices/selection are comparable to ...of the jungle. Catalog is big and informative, but not very well put together. Horus carries wormwood, opium poppy seeds, yohimbe and Acorus calamus, all of which are fairly difficult to find. Comments: Service leaves something to be desired (long, long turnaround time). If ...of the jungle don't have it, Horus probably does; you'll just have to wait a little longer to get it. Catalog is $2. MG: "seed packet"/$2.00 (various species available; see catalog for details.) -------------------------------- Magic Garden Herb Co. P.O. Box 332 Fairfax, CA 94930 (415) 488-4331 Carries: HBWR, HLWR, MG, tons of other herbs, most of which are of little or no psychoactive value. Much like a big mail order herb store. Comments: Longest turnaround of any supplier listed here, with the possible exception of Island Spore. Nice selection, good prices. I am told their MG seeds are NOT treated. MG: 7 grams/$1.50; 1 oz./$4.50. -------------------------------- New Mexico Cactus Research I have been told NRCR is out of business. -------------------------------- Books by Phone Box 522 Berkeley, CA 94701 (800) 858-2665 Carries: Books you can't find anywhere else. Comments: If you can find it someplace else, buy it there. This place is a FUCKING RIP OFF. the copy of Adam Gottlieb's _Legal Highs_ I bought from them (a 70 page paperback) had a sticker that said $7.95 (which is what I paid) covering up the original price of $3.95. Plus they charge extra for personal checks, credit cards, and postage. However, they DO carry some really hard to find titles, and the service is pretty good; about 2 week turnaround time on a phoned-in credit card order. Catalog is pretty good too. If you can't find it in their catalog, call and ask and they might be able to get it for you (you may have to take out a second mortgage to be able to afford it, but...). -------------------------------- Loompanics P.O. Box 1197 Port Townsend, WA 98368 $5.00 catalog Carries: Interesting books. Comments: I am told they have fast turnaround and good prices. Email comments: i've ordered from them twice, pretty good service both times (2.5 & 3 weeks i think) prices are about the same as my local bookstore charges, for the few things i've been able to compare. some seem overly expensive, but from the descriptions in the catalog, i'd guess that most are pretty reasonable. i don't expect books to be cheap, but $8.95 for something like Psychedelic Chemistry is definitely worth it. (~200 pages, well bound, trade paperback, glossy cover), some of the other things i've gotten from them were not as good in terms of physical quality, but they cost less too. --------------------------------- Laissez-Faire Books 942 Howard street San Francisco, CA 94103 (800) 326-0996 Got their catalog for free a couple weeks ago. Killer selection; mostly hard-to-find alternative political and economics books. No mushroom growers guides and stuff like that. Pricey compared to local bookstores, but some of the titles they carry can't be found in local bookstores, so not a bad deal for hard to find stuff. Shop around first. --------------------------------- Gardens of the Blue Ridge P.O. Box 10 Pineola, NC 28662 (704) 733-2417 Carries: Acorus calamus is the only psychoactive plant GBR carries that I know of. Comments: GBR is an ultra-legitamate greenhouse specializing in hardy native plants. They sell mostly seeds, seedlings and plants. Since they don't sell dried herbs, leaves, bark, root, or cuttings (like most of the places listed here), they probably are of little interest to those of us that don't want to bother with gardening. Prepared Calamus root can be obtained from both ...of the jungle and Horus. Extremely well done catalog is $2.00. However, don't expect to find any information on alternative uses of the plants they sell in it. ---------------------------------- AMOK P.O. Box 861867 Terminal Annex Los Angeles, CA 90086-1867 Email comments: similar to loompanics, but many many more titles. the catalog itself is 8.95, but its a big 8x12 400 page book. if its not in loompanics or AMOK, i doubt its available. -- AMOK's catalog is well worth ordering as a sourcebook and bibliography of the bizarre, but I know of at least one person who's had trouble ordering stuff from them, and they've been listed in Factsheet Five in a "black" list of unreliable vendors. If you can't find it anywhere else and are prepared to wait months, go ahead and order, but you've been warned... If you live in the Los Angeles area, their bookstore is worth visiting. -- Wonderful catalog, but very unreliable. I ordered from them about August of last year. One item out of 4 arrived quickly with the rest backordered. I was charged on my credit card for that item plus shipping and handling. A couple of months later, I was billed for the remaining items, though I hadn't received them. I called them during their listed hours, received an answering machine and left a message. No response. After a couple of tries at this, I wrote my credit card company and had them reverse the charge. A few months after this, perhaps 8 months after my original order, I received 2 out of the remaining three items, the third item was cancelled and the charge reversed on my credit card, even though the charge for the entire order had been reversed already. I was never billed again for these items, but felt little guilt because of the exceptionally poor service. I also knew that it would be impossible to get in touch with them. Definitely don't send checks. I'm sure that it would be very difficult to receive an order once they have the money. If I'm really desperate, I might order from them again, but it would be safer to get the book name and order from a reliable local book store. ---------------------------------- Worldwide Curio House p.o. box 17095 minneapolis minn, 55417 mainly a voodoo supply house, but has a large section of "herbs roots barks berries" much more extensive than MGH, and similar in price. they do not carry MG or HBWS, however. i think four or five dollars for three catalogues, which even if you dont want anything but the herbs, are hilarious(one page has fruit shaped refrigerator magnets, the next advertises "genuine human skull. number of teeth may vary. $195.00" ---------------------------------- J.L.F. p.o. box 184-sc elizabethtown, IN 47232 (812)379-2508 haven't dealt with these fellows, but they carry some very odd things.. "30 dried grams red variety amanita muscaria: $60.00" they also sell bufotonin toad skins from road kills and various other thangs, but the fly agaric(amanita muscaria) is their main product.. I must add that this place has the most hysterical disclaimer I've ever read in my life. An excerpt (typo's of indeterminate origin): "The longest disclaimer you've ever seen." All merchandise sold in this brochure is poisonous and not intended for internal consumption. All items are classified as "NON-FOOD". They are not to be eaten or drank. Do not use in any manner unspecified or unauthorized by JLF. JLF assumes no liability for unauthorized uses of its products. For example (for those who exist soley to keep the human aspect of Murphy's Law alive): Do not eat as a food or herbal dietary supplement. Do not drink as a beverage or make tea out of. Do not inject in any form. Do not stick, put, insert or throw in your or another person's mouth, nose, ear, eye, anus or any other orafice that may exist on your or another person's body. Do not wet any dried organic with water and let sit and rot, then smear the black maggot-infested stinky slop on your or another person's body or insert it in any of the orafices previously mentioned. Do not light with fire and use that fire to injure yourself or another or any personal or public property. Do not leave in the middle of the floor and trip or slip on to injure yourself or another. There is not enough room here to list all the possible "do nots". If you still can not keep from harming yourself or others or property with JLF products then you should probably go to bed and stay there for the rest of your life. No, then you would get bed sores and bring suit against the bed or sheet manuacturer, or JLF for telling you to do it.... Call for their brochure; it's free and well worth the laughs. ---------------------------------- Inner Center P.O. Box 362 Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 clean MG seeds. Used to sell 5-MeO DMT, but I think they stopped that around 3/92. Probably carry some other nifty stuff but I've never seen their catalog. ---------------------------------- The DoorWay P.O.Box 12553 Ogden, Utah 84412-2553 U.S.A. email [M--AR--I] at [cc.weber.edu] Offers an excellent selection of books and what appears to be a pretty good shroom kit.

Does smoking somehow >get it to interact with MAO inhibitors? Smoking skin flakes should work without MAO inhibition, but you must be careful because one gram of skin gives enough 5-MeO-DMT for 10-30 trips. Bufo alvarius lives in the Sonoran desert (a leaflet about B. alvarius and using it might be available from Venom Press Box 2863 Denton TX 76202 if Venom Press still exists). ---------------------------------------- (from email:) Are you familiar with an outfit called "Dream Gardens Ethnobotanicals?" I sent them a few bucks for a catalog early summer and never heard a word. I figured 'to hell with them' and left it.

Our catalog lists over 350 varieties of live plants and over 100 dry herbs. Many of the plants we offer are extremely rare aand seldom seen outside their areas of ingigenous use."
