Don't forget Raver -- his posts were always good.

I do wonder what happened to Wyrm. He stopped selling ethnobotanicals at his nursery, and eventually even the site for the nursery went away. I think his wife's soap company was still around, last time I checked.

Yeah, those guys!  I still check out psillys website whenever opportunity allows.  He still blows me away.

And Glider, that guy, he's prolly still on top of it, whatever he's into now adays.

And Raver!  Yeah, now we are talking!

Eddy for sure, he went totally missing. Space came back for a minute and dissapeared again. Roach bobs to the surface from time to time. Diss was around a bit a few months back.

They all need to know they have a home here and in our hearts.

early morning greetings to you and all, wherever, whether or not you're connected to the net (like my net's been down and slightly up and down again for the past bit).

It's all good - we're all family.
sending love to the refuge folk.

Cassie, yeah that girl!  She's still around, I'm sure of it.
(Hi Cassie!)


And I'd hate to not see special mention of TooStoned.......... still think of him all the time.  Even bought a rug the other day and mailed it off to my folks because it reminded me of him.  My dad brings him up every once and a while and thinks very well of him as well, from when he put us up for a bit when we were in town years back.

Well , yes indeedy Avery - I am lurking around the chat but so damn busy I don't even get to do that much actual chatting. I miss this place generally and I am soooo glad you are all still here. Thanks for missing me sister Judih - I think of you at random times. Our fuzz-buzz actually logged into chat (prolly from some cafe on a mountain in India somewhere) but I didn't get to talk to her. Roach logs into chat still. Dissy pops in here to say 'I'm alive" (last seen last year?). Ringworm works on a merchant vessel and is at home for only 4months each year.
I *do* miss Glider coz he was always funny (and sensible) and Eddy for all the nice lil chats (wish he'd put us out of our misery and fess up wtf happened). ooh, and Raver, yes!
I miss having Sol in chat too and there are some other peeps I wonder what happened to. I will make a list.
oh ... what's that 'other board'? - just curious ( I don't even have time to read this one lately)

Quote from: "Cassie"Ringworm works on a merchant vessel and is at home for only 4months each year.

Seriously? There is something so right and so wrong about that. He must miss his little plot of earth.  I still have some luna clones and a Psychotria that he hooked me up with years ago....

As for the other board: yes, it was a joke. Sorry if it led to any confusion!

No confusion here :)
So no one remembers Magic Rabbit?  I think this was back when some of us were on entheogen dot com forums - back before it was shut down.  And when it was shut down that's when spiritplants was made.  (I think it was originally spiritplants dot com and then changed to these boards)
Anyway...ya...that's all...

Magic Rabbit huh?  Hmmm, before I got onboard I'm afraid.......  I think by the time I 'checked in' the site was already a couple of years old.

Always liked when MS Smith would drop by every now and then and spread a few gems around.  What an excellent resource......... Would love to get a good look at his cactus collection.  At least we still have MJ with the mad mushroom skills.  They sell your books at the local headshops John.

And good old Troutmask.  Many a good conversation.  Blessings brother.

And Sol!  I still have some T. brigesii monstrosa clumping var. a  I traded with him for......... and a few other beauties.  Great guy.

Title: Re: Ringworm, Eddy, Glider, Spacecadet, Roach, psilly, dissident
Post by: Ringworm on June 20, 2009, 06:24:56 PM
what can I say.
ran into this place randomly again, just a thought train I guess.

anyway, I couldn't find my freedom on land.
8 months out at sea doing the hardest labor possible is good for the soul.
Putting pipelines together, shifting barges, moving mud offshore, and we picked up that plane that crashed in the Hudson river...
so I guess I'm the chief engineer of the Tugboat (sorry, name was showing up in google).  This means I'm in charge of the mechanical dept of the boat.
I sold the farm, and only grow veggies and tobacco.

Sometimes freedom is in the desolate wilderness, sometimes in an engineroom with diesels bigger than schoolbuses, sometimes its sitting on the bow of a boat for 4days straight looking at the horizon, or appreciating the fresh salty air in 15ft seas.

Whatever gives you hope.

That's very odd.  The last time I heard from Ringworm, he was due to get out of juvie soon.  Something about he was turning 18, and they couldn't keep him locked up anymore.

It is entirely possible that I've confused RW with my inner child.  It is also possible that RW and my inner child are one and the same.

By the way, Psilly is still doing very well (better than ever, as far as I can tell), although I think he's out in the forest right now for his yearly drop-out-of-humanity-encounter.

Some cool stuff up on his new website (check out his illustration and writing under "GroUp (A Vision of the World Tree)." The tea has been treating him nicely.

Quote from: "kemp"I do recall almost everyone mentioned here... was wondering also about Groovy Gardner. He helped Eddy with the financing of Spiritplants for the first few years. In fact, I think he paid for almost everything for a while.

GG let us know how you are doing out there!

Greetings one and all, what a fun thread, so great to see all the old timers!

Been evolving a bit, flushed the job to learn fine furniture and construction and moved to the cool north Redwoods, where (what's left of) my poor trichos are dissolving.  Even have a single catha e that's hanging in there too.  Occasionally I'll Google my old "I, Trichocereus" article, and danged if it's still not kicking around on the intertubes.  

Kemp, you're giving me too much credit.  I just financed the initial breakaway, Eddy managed it all after that.

That said, I heard somewhere that el oso (**pfffft***) faked his whole "death" at edot - anybody have any details?

Sorry, it took so long to re-visit, it's an amazing thrill to see you folks still keeping the faith!!!

Oso faked his death back in the day and then of course he got indignant when the sham was uncovered. He has thankfully been scarce for many years.

Good to hear from you, gg.

I wondered about Oso.  I felt terrible about Oso.  I couldn't find an obit though....  I had this mental picture of how the phone call was going to go.  "Hey, Anabella (not her real name), is Jason (also not his real name) around?"  "Yeah? That's what I heard, but I could find the obit.  Erm, I mean, my condolances."

Faked his death? Da noive!

Really, that is psycho, imo. Petty petty. I wasn't following the drama closely, but I remember the posts describing his illness, and his "problems". I actually believed it all! Hah!    :beek:

The real mystery, to me at least, is Eddy.  Unless I am literally 'the last to know', and am not supposed to know, in that case, fine.  Otherwise, what happened to him? Last I heard from him, we were talking about me and some other folks moderating the news threads on the old spiritplants website, then he just let the website expire and never came around again.  Did he die or what?

Really? If true, that would be sad. I'll have to see if I can dust off my old Edot credentials and check it out.

Truth be told, we did not get along. At some point I became the explicit target of his paranoia, and he accused me of being all manner of enemies and adversaries (most notably his arch-nemesis, Keith at IAS). But I didn't dislike him, despite the fact that I found any kind of normal interaction with him impossible. You say he got his stuff together at the end?  that is good.

[But not to be a cynic, given his personality I could see him faking it, much like the old owner of edot did....]

QuoteI been scarce, got into a relationship....forgot about plants.....got a nice freestanding patch of Ringworms lunas though......

I haven't been growing many plants these days, but I too have a few plants of the Luna strain growing (got the parent from Wyrm). Luna is an outstanding strain! Much hardier than Wasson-Hofmann.

.....I first joined the Internet when all that mess happened...he was just another wackjob....Like divinorimus...haha...Everybody is nuts anyways.... once those lines in the sand get drawn, jeez...

He joined Entheology (Keiths old forum, now World Eyes) when I was a mod there, and went through a few cycles of general craziness...but I think finding his feet through prescribed anti-depressents helped him quite abit.  When I talked on the phone, he seemed "normaL"  some folks who met him in person said he was "ok".....whatever that means nowadays....cept, I guess he is on our side, rather than the "other' side........ anyways, here the link to his works, he seemed dedicated to trying to find if salvia was a good anti-depressent....

something tells me Afghanistan is what got him.....but I have no clue. If I ever find out, I post it.

Yea, I wonder what ever happened to him (maybe a little off-topic, but I'm pretty sure Div was a member at the old SPF site). After he dropped off the "normal entheogen sites" I know he was still around and doing some stuff. At one point he took down his website (a normal-ish site), and posted an amazing screed in it's place, warning the human species--which somehow he didn't seem to feel a part of--how the Gaian intelligence now considers us parasites and we are on official warning. His site is still up, but it basically just says "go away, there is nothing here," or words to that effect.

[I remember the day he flipped. It was back in the USENET days, when people still actually posted interesting things on it. He took some combination--Salvia + something else (I think it was San Pedro or DXM) and was, IMO, exposed to more than he could handle, and as far as I know he never really recovered.  As with Sphere, the effects of his transformation were well-documented at Entheology.]

QuoteHe joined Entheology (Keiths old forum, now World Eyes) when I was a mod there, and went through a few cycles of general craziness...but I think finding his feet through prescribed anti-depressents helped him quite abit.

That's good. Paranoia always seemed to be his thing, but I can see how depression could bring that on.

I used to be an active member at Entheology (until Anna booted me for being "too heady, too intellectual" -- go figure), so I haven't really kept up with many of those folks, except for the ones who are active on the ayahuasca forums, of which there are several (Napoleon B. (who had a different nic there, begins with a "G", but can't remember it), Sach, and Druid, for example). They were a good group of people, although I think they started to take the "we're special beings with the divine mission to save the world" thang a little too seriously. There's nothing wrong with saving the world, but when you set yourself apart to do it and start casting people out, dividing the world into "inside" and "outside" --becoming God's Crown--then issues can arise.

Funny thing is, there doesn't seem to be nearly the level of melodrama and craziness on the entheogen sites as there used to be. Maybe the community is maturing and learning how to integrate the experience better. Maybe I'm just older and don't hang out on melodramatic sites anymore ;)

To me, Sphere seemed like a good guy, but one who's "issues" were getting the better of him.

I know the thing that got him into the entheogens in the first place was a mystical/out-of-body experience he had in the late 90's, and all his work was an attempt to get back there. I hope he found what he was looking for, I hope in the end he was able to get back home. God's speed to him....  

Quotesomething tells me Afghanistan is what got him.....but I have no clue. If I ever find out, I post it.

Thanks.

I know at one point he posted an extraction protocol under his real name. I'll have to see if it's still on-line somewhere to see if any information can be had.

Quoteyeah, the Lunas....great for rooting too!!  Havn't got any seeds ever from them, but flowers are nice and dark...

Yea, mine seem to flower every couple of years, but I've never gotten any seeds.

Div god some seeds once ("Andromeda"). I wonder if that strain survived.

Hey peeps! Really nice to see this thread, funny how I found it - was checking the board out just this morning for the first time in ages (wandering up the mountain & thru the library;-) then tonight after getting home went to check my website stats and saw that someone had got there from here (first time as far as I've noticed), so here I am!

Fond memories of back in the day, this was my first forum don'tcha know. Think I felt slightly embarrassed after going a bit nuts in fool view (tho doubt anyone really noticed, or maybe just thought I was high or joking - but I was really pretty nuts for a while) of course all that is erased now, and of course now I wish it wasn't! Some good material there.  :) I stopped doing all psychedelics for a year or so after that (round about 2003/4) but turns out I wouldn't want to be without 'em really (like old friends ;) ), so it turned out to be just part of my path, a necessary bumpy patch. Still psilly, little less silly, little less clever too!

I'll try and pop in a bit more, this place has a much easier and in a way slightly more grounded vibe than that other forum (all they talk about is dragibus dragibus dragibluerghs anyhoo;-) and it's nice to see some of the same old names still around... never really been one for the chat I'm afraid, never really get that idle.  :D

Glad someone mentioned subversal & weirdo in addition to the others... lemme see... xenonpill? jeoni? indra? licentious lysergica? crow? man, there's others haunting the low electricity regions of my mental city... may they all be well!

Lotsa Love to you all, pseriously!  :D
