From: [m s clito] at [eskimo.com] (Gary Bense) Newsgroups: alt.drugs Subject: OTJ Catalog Date: 24 May 94 20:58:45 GMT Sorry I haven't posted on alt.drugs for so long, I'm sure everyone has missed me. (Who is this asshole?) Anyway I've been having heinous amounts of pain from several kidney stones, I still haven't been able to piss them out. First I was given Oxycodone Hydrochloride, which didn't really help. Then my urologist prescribed Demerol (equal to Morphine sulphate) which still didn't help the pain, but put me in a week-long stuper. Anyway, here is another useless posting... It is a catalog from Of The Jungle... I am not sure how accurate this is, but hopefully it will be useful to someone. BTW: What are the active constituents in 'Dragon's Blood'? All I know it is a red resin obtained from the fruit of a palm of the Malay Archipelago. Is this a resin made from a dracaena tree? Any info would be appreciated... ------------------------------------------------------------------ We are ...of the jungle P.O. Box 1801 Sebastopol, CA 95473 This catalog lists some of our favourite beneficial plants and botanical products from our personal botanical collection. We are not a big business, simply a devoted family team of plant lovers and researchers dedicated to preservation and propagation. Bringing these things together has been part of many years travel along rain- forest paths and garden paths, down archive corridors and nueral corridors. As always, the plants remain the real teachers. They are heuristic by nature, enabling seekers of truth to find their own answers. Growing a plant can be a profound spiritual exchange. There is a complete encyclopedia of teachings being shown to us in the life-form symptoms we call a species. An increasingly compelling sense of significance is growing around tropical plantlife as the wildly accelerating pace of rainforest devastation at the hand of puny humans continues. The extinction spectre seems to be stimulating a calling-out by the more sentinent plant species toward influence in the lives of humans. It is this spirit we serve this collection to you. Listen well for such callings, time is short. The song of the jungle is sometimes a scream... This catalog represents part of our commitment to Direct Action in these urgent times. Those who have been involved with us over the years will know of the fruitful botanical projects sponsered by ...of the jungle. We thank everyone who has supported our efforts with their orders and encouragement. The propagule units listed here are intended for cultivation as houseplants only. The data provided on folk uses is given for historical interest and can be found in ethnobotanical literature.

We accept no responsability for the outcome of use or misuse of any- thing we offer. Placing an order constitutes agreement to those terms. This is a mail-order catalog and all prices are calculated to include our pre- paring and packing plus shipping costs. We handle orders rapidly and personally and the best way sometimes involves expensive postage, but we don't like to risk plantlife or your satisfaction. Most items and all plants are shipped First Class Priority Mail (not UPS), but we will send any plants Overnight Express (usually $12.50 extra) on request. Most items are ready for immediate shipment upon ordering. Seeds and botanical products are available year-round. Live plants and cuttings (marked with * by price) will be supplied beginning Feb/Apr till Oct/Nov, depending on hardiness and destination. Most live plants are ready for shipment upon ordering, a few are prepared in batches during the season. Next catalog or suppliment will list many more things now being readied for distribution. We have a steady stream of long-awaited plants, seeds, exoticherbs and products coming in regularly through our network of foreign collabor- ators, travelling friends, as well as our own expeditions.
