How to Make a Spore Print
Once you have a mature mushroom, you are in a position to make a
spore print and use it to continue cultivation of mushrooms. The cap
should be harvested when the mushroom cap has become flat or is
starting to invert.
Sterility is key. Adaptation-25 Be careful not to do anything that will
compromise the sterility of your spore print. The typical procedure is
to cut the stalk off of a mature mushroom very close to the cap. A
sterilized knife or razor blade is used to do this. The cap is then laid on
a sterile piece of tissue paper or card stock and a small glass set over it.
The glass is needed for two reasons. First, it keeps the spore print
insulated from airborne contaminates. Secondly, it helps keep the
humidity high so the mushroom cap can continue to

slightly less humid than the environment in which the mushroom was
grown. If you have problems getting a cap to drop its spores, try using
a piece of paper for the print that fits entirely inside the glass and
spreading out a wash cloth flat on the table. Let the edge of the glass
seal to the wash cloth instead of the paper. This will usually allow
enough humidity to escape to cause the cap to drop spores.

less likely to experience it than those who did mention it).
Overviewing the responses elicited, we see that there are over 200 totally distinct
effects described. (We have presented only those which ten or more subjects mentioned;
there are almost 150 effects each of which was mentioned by fewer than ten respondents.
)
Sixty-four of these were proffered by single individuals, completely idiosyncratic
responses that could not in any way be classified with other responses which were
somewhat similar. For instance, one individual said that she had the feeling of "being
sucked into a vortex." Another reported more regular bowel movements while intoxicated.
A third said that she could feel her brains dripping out of her ears. In addition to the sixtyfour
unique and therefore totally unclassifiable responses, there were twenty-eight where
only two respondents agreed that marijuana had that effect on them. However valid these
responses might be to the individual himself, they are not useable to us, since they are still
quite idiosyncratic.
Although the diversity of the responses was in itself an interesting finding, the picture
was not totally chaotic. Each individual offered an average of roughly ten different effects
of the drug as a description of the high. Some of these effects were offered independently
by a large percentage of the interviewees although, curiously, none attracted a majority;
every effect described was given by a minority of the sample. That is, in spite of the huge
diversity in the responses, some agreement prevailed.
Marijuana users seem to describe the effects of the drug in overwhelmingly favorable
terms. Certainly the vast majority of the effects mentioned would be thought positive if
the judge did not know that marijuana touched off the state in question. Let us suppose
that we have been told that the list characterizes how some people
hempseed cybershop
react to a warm spring
day; our sense would be that they think well of its effects. Thus, most of the
characteristics of the marijuana high, as described by its users, would be looked at as
beneficial. Yet with the knowledge that the triggering agent was marijuana, the judge
reinterprets his favorable opinion and decides Blow-by-blow description of the generations:
P.50 = Heavy, single-cola type plants with mellow high (too much influence from the ShivaSkunk) Sweet fruity
scent/flavor. Unstable in most traits - for example, 10 days difference in fastest/slowest maturation period in a
group of 20 seedlings.
P.75 = Plants leaning MUCH more in the direction of Princess in floral cluster and bud structure, scent/flavor
turned more "tropical" like pineapple.
The stability was becoming better - two major phenotypes; short & dense
(potent too) or tall/HUGE (Not so potent).
P.88 = Renamed Cinderella 88 when first released on the market. It grows fast and produces excellent yields of
FROSTY buds in 7 weeks! Generally uniform seedlings with minor differences
Comment Du Du Comment in floral formation and some height
variance, but the smoke is quite consistent from all plants - Dense, heavy nuggets of fruity scented & flavored
(like wild berries) and covered in resin glands, the dried buds have distinctly ORANGE pistils.
Mullimbimby Marijuana Seed The only side effect reported by the subjects taking 5-HTP was stomachache, of which there were 41 instances during the entire three-year trial. In the placebo group, there were only 10 instances of stomachache, but also 118 instances of nausea
sensi
and 78 of abdominal pain. This is not inconsistent with the very few
sensi hydroponic side effects other studies have reported by those taking 5-HTP.
These results may be explained by 5-HTP's ability to reduce hypersensitivity to pain. Moreover, in the study, eosinophilia (elevation of the special white
sensi blood cells associated with sensi inflammation) was not reported in the 5-HTP group; in the control group, there was one case.

PROPAGATION
What is propagation?
Propagation: 1 The action of breeding or multiplying by natural
processes; procreation, generation, reproduction. 2 The action of
spreading an idea, practice, etc., from place to place.
3 Increase in
amount or extent; enlargement; extension in space or time.
Propagation is 'The Grow'. However most people treat
propagation as the actual events occurring between the planting of the
seed and the transplant of that seedling to the main grow environment.
Here we will treat propagation as the entire process of growing from
seed to Wwwcanabissativa harvest. Propagation also includes the logistics of the grow.
So what are you going to do? Are you going hemp to buy a batch of
10 seeds and grow them all in one go? Are you going to then kill the
males and just smoke the females? Are you going to keep the males
and produce more seeds from the females? How many seeds can a
female plant produce? Should I plant my 10 seeds in one go? What
should I do to guarantee that all my seeds will grow? These are the
questions that you should be asking before you begin to grow and this
is where propagation logistics comes into play. The answers depend
largely on the size of your grow B Cuzz area and what your budget is.
Let’s say hemp we have about $200/£180 to spend on seeds. We can
78
buy an expensive strain like a G13 hemp cross and then we can grow the
G13 and produce more seeds from it. We can get anything between
100 and 2000 seeds depending on plant size and grow conditions. If
we grow this season for 4 months and at the end produce a lot of seeds
then we may never need to buy seeds for this strain again.
There is something else we can do called - CLONING.
Figure 3.1 - Here are some clones by Slowhand.
This is a technique whereby we can grow a number of plants
and select a good female. Then we can take cuttings from that female
mother plant and grow these cuttings into new plants.
Clones always
keep the same sex and vigor of the mother plant.
It is also possible to
79
create a garden of plants that will last for decades through cloning
from a single female mother plant. Cloning is discussed in detail in a
later chapter
For the new grower it is advised that you buy 10 seeds and
only germinate 3 the first time followed by another 3 the following
week followed by the last 4 in two weeks after that. This will allow you
some degree of experimentation as you may fail on your first attempt
to germinate the seeds because of lack of any previous cannabis
growing experience.
For people who have germinated seeds once before in the
past, it is advised th
This
Seeds Seeds was clinically confirmed by Sallan and co-workers? in 1975 They're funny plants when it comes to cuttings. They seem to be much slower to take than most, but the huge
amount of vigor that is inherent in the breed means that the cuts don’t die- they just hang around and don't
do much. I took cuttings of my over-wintering mother which took about 3 weeks to take- during this time, the
cuts didn’t look ill, and didn’t grow, they just 'existed'. The mother plant doesn’t do well indoors- mine seemed
to get freaked out and started to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I
don’t know why. Princess is a female which resulted from a seed found in a Jack Herer bud I bought in Amsterdam near the
Sensi Seed Bank at "Coffeeshop Sensi Smile". The bud came in a 2 gr. cello-pack with the Sensi logo; I
expected sinsemilla, but it had about 10 seeds so I assume she's an F2 JH. Her characteristics were so fine I
wanted to create seeds that would "replicate" this plant. She has the KILLER Haze-influenced high with the most

expected, Cinderella 99 has topped all previous results - her high is heavily influenced by Haze; clear, energetic

spreading an idea, practice, etc., from place to place. 3 Increase in
amount or extent; enlargement; extension in space or time.
Propagation is 'The Grow'. However most people treat
propagation as the actual events occurring between the planting of the
seed and the transplant of that seedling to the main grow environment.
Here we will treat propagation as the entire process of growing from
seed to harvest. Propagation also includes the logistics of the grow.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to buy a batch of
10 seeds and grow them all in one go? Are you going to then kill the
males and just smoke the females? Are you going to keep the males
and produce more seeds from the females? How many seeds can a
female plant produce? Should I plant my 10 seeds in one go? What
should I do to guarantee that all my seeds will grow? These are the
questions that you should be asking before you begin to grow and this
is where propagation logistics comes into play. The answers depend
largely on the size of your grow area and what your budget is.
Let’s say we have about $200/£180 to spend on seeds. We can
78
buy an expensive strain like a G13 cross and then we can grow the
G13 and produce more seeds from it. We can get anything between
100 and 2000 seeds depending on plant size and grow conditions. If
we grow this season for 4 months and at the end produce a lot of seeds
then we may never need to buy seeds for this strain again.
There is something else we can do called - CLONING.
Figure 3.1 - Here are some clones by Slowhand.
This is a technique whereby we can grow a number of plants
and select a good female. Then we can take cuttings from that female
mother plant and grow these cuttings into new plants. Clones always
keep the same sex and vigor of the mother plant. It is also possible to
79
create a garden of plants that will last for decades through cloning
from a single female mother plant. Cloning is discussed in detail in a
later chapter
For the new grower it is advised that you buy 10 seeds and
only germinate 3 the first time followed by another 3 the following
week followed by the last 4 in two weeks after that. This will allow you
some degree of experimentation as you may fail on your first attempt
to germinate the seeds because of lack of any previous cannabis
growing experience.
For people who have germinated seeds once before in the
past, it is advised th Bubble is available for 150 NLG and has 22 seeds. This has to do with low
germination rates at the last tests and making up for that. I don't know
the one Adam sells personally, but do know that they derive from the same
genetic background. It took a while before I was pleased with the product
and there was also a personal thing involved, with the person who brought
the genetics over to Holland. I waited till that was resolved to
satisfaction." - Simon, owner of Serious Seeds, Amsterdam

questions. If and only if we remember two methodological qualifications will our analysis
of the responses be meaningful:
1. The form of the study instrument—open-ended or forced choice—gives us results
that are superficially different (the magnitude of the responses, for instance), but
fundamentally the same (the order of the responses).
2. Individuals who do not mention a given effect on our open-ended question are not
thereby automatically agreeing that marijuana does not have that effect on
them—they just did not think of it at that moment in that situation ( although we do
have a certain amount of confidence that those who did not mention the effect were
(10 of 34)4/15/2004 1:07:27 AM
The Marijuana Smokers - Chapter 7
less likely to experience it than those who did mention it).
Overviewing the responses elicited, we see that there are over 200 totally distinct
effects described. (We have presented only those which ten or more subjects mentioned;
there are almost 150 effects each of which was mentioned by fewer than ten respondents.)
Sixty-four of these were proffered by single individuals, completely idiosyncratic
responses that could not in any way be classified with other responses which were
somewhat similar. For instance, one individual said that she had the feeling of "being
sucked into a vortex." Another reported more regular bowel movements while intoxicated.
A third said that she could feel her brains dripping out of her ears. In addition to the sixtyfour
unique and therefore totally unclassifiable responses, there were twenty-eight where
only two respondents agreed that marijuana had that effect on them. However valid these
responses might be to the individual himself, they are not useable to us, since they are still
quite idiosyncratic.
Although the diversity of the responses was in itself an interesting finding, the picture
was not totally chaotic. Each individual offered an average of roughly ten different effects
of the drug as a description of the high. Some of these effects were offered independently
by a large percentage of the interviewees although, curiously, none attracted a majority;
every effect described was given by a minority of the sample. That is, in spite of the huge
diversity in the responses, some agreement prevailed.
Marijuana users seem to describe the effects of the drug in overwhelmingly favorable
terms. Certainly the vast majority of the effects mentioned would be thought positive if
the judge did not know that marijuana touched off the state in question. Let us suppose
that we have been told that the list characterizes how some people react to a warm spring
day; our sense would be that they think well of its effects. Thus, most of the
characteristics of the marijuana high, as described by its users, would be looked at as
beneficial. Yet with the knowledge that the triggering agent was marijuana, the judge
reinterprets his favorable opinion and decides containing this alkaloid is not difficult to
perform and is perhaps one of the most rewarding alchemical processes that one
can attempt. The chemicals required for this process are readily available and
their purchase arouses no suspicion or interest on the part of Government
agencies. The equipment employed is not expensive or particularly complicated
or can be constructed very easily from ordinary household items. The entire
process can be carried out in any kitchen in the matter of hours by following the
instructions below and in the final stages one can verify the success of the
procedure by actually watching the crystals of mescaline precipitate in the
solution. One kilo (2.2 lbs) of dried peyote buttons may yield between 10 and 60
grams of pure white needle crystals of mescaline depending on the potency of
the plants used. On average the yield is about 20 grams. The usual underground
price of a kilo of dried peyote ranges between $125 and $250 (25 to 50 cents per
button). From indians in the southwestern USA the price is closer to $50 (10
cents per button). The street price for a gram of pure mescaline is $20 to $30 - if
one is lucky enough to find it. One can obtain from a kilo of dried peyote $200 to
$1200 worth of mescaline. If San Pedro is employed on may anticipate a yield of
3 to 12 grams of mescaline per kilo of dried cactus. One can legally purchase a
kilo of dried San Pedro for $5 to $10 and from it extract $60 to $250 worth of pure
mescaline.
Grind a kilo of the dried cactus, place this in a large pressure cooker, cover with
distilled water, and boil for 30 minutes. Strain the liquids and save them. Return
the pulp to the pot, add more water and boil again for 30 minutes. Strain the
liquids and combine them with the first strainings. Repeat this process about five
times or until the pulp no longer has a bitter taste. Discard the pulp and reduce
the volume of the combined strainings by boiling in an open pot. Do not use
aluminum ware. When the liquids have been concentrated to the thickness of
cream (about one quart), stop the boiling and stir in 400 grams of sodium
hydroxide (lye). This makes the mescaline more soluble in benzene and less in
water. If a large separatory funnel is available pour the liquids into it and add
1600 ml of benzene. Shake the funnel well for five minutes and let it stand for two
hours. If a separatory funnel is not available the process can be carried out in a
one gallon jug with a siphon attached.
After standing for 2 hours the water layer will settle to the bottom and the
benzene layer will float to the top. Between the two layers will be a thin emulsion
layer of mixed water and benzene. Drain off the water and emulsion layers if you
are using a separatory funnel or siphon off the benzene layer if you are using the
makeshift jug-siphon apparatus. Be certain that neither the water or emulsion
layers get into the benzene layer when separating. If any of these layers d "We have been working from a m39 mother plant that is from 1987. This is absolutely the most powerful strain

y alcohol itself is a dangerous drug. Indeed,
marijuana's dangers... seem no greater than the documented deleterious effects of alcohol.
If the question before us were a national referendum to decide whether we would use...
either alcohol or marijuana, I might personally vote for marijuana—but that is not the
question"49] Physicians say that the damage to society following the legalization and
widespread usage of marijuana would only be additive to the harm inflicted by alcohol.
Whatever thousand deaths traceable to alcohol we actually experience now would be
increased by a considerable number if marijuana restrictions were removed.
... the existence of alcoholism and skid rows is not an argument in favor of
cannabis but one against it. If alcohol has ruined six million lives in this
country, how can it possibly be an argument for permitting cannabis to do
the same, or worse? Logic compels those who argue against alcohol to
excuse cannabis to take another stand: they should be arguing for the
control of alcohol and the elimination of its evils, not for the extension of
those or similar evils to a wider segment of society.
The attack on alcohol implicitly acknowledges the evils of cannabis and
goes on to urge that we let two wrongs make a right.... legalization of
cannabis will in no way alleviate the problems of alcoholism but is very
likely to add problems of another sort.... one drug is as socially and
personally disruptive as the other. The question is whether we, as a nation,
can afford a second drug catastrophe.50]
A Minority Opinion
Although mainstream medical opinion holds marijuana to be damaging, potentially
dangerous and, on the whole undesirable, a minority of doctors demure. We have claimed
(17 of 25)4/15/2004 1:04:59 AM
The Marijuana Smokers - Chapter 5
that the dominant view of physicians is that marijuana is a dangerous drug, capable of
causing adverse psychic reactions and psychotic episodes. Yet David E. Smith, physician,
toxicologist, pharmacologist, and director of the Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic in the
midst of a heavy drug-using population, writes that he has never seen a "primary
psychosis" among his 30,ooo patients, and, outside the clinic, he says that he has
witnessed only three cases of marijuana-induced psychosis—"extreme paranoid reactions
characterized by fear of arrest and discovery."51]
I have stated that most physicians dismiss the pothead's point that marijuana is less
dangerous than alcohol as irrelevant. Yet, Joel Fort, a physician, claims that alcohol is the
most dangerous of all drugs currently available in America, whether legally or illegally.
He has developed a scheme characterizing dimensions of drug "hardness," i.e.,
dangerousness. Fort's feeling is that any impartial observer will arrive at least the
following list of dimensions of hardness: addiction (or psychic dependency), insanity,
tissue damage, violence, and death. Thus, some drugs may be hard in one way

Hunger and taste was another question which I singled out specifically; 150
respondents, or about 75 percent of the sample, said that they had eaten food while they
were high. Of this 150, six said that there was no difference between eating high and
eating straight, that marijuana had no effect on the nature of the eating experience. Eight
percent said that the experience was worse in some way; they had less of an appetite, or
the food tasted worse, and that they did not enjoy the experience of eating food when they
were high. Thirty-eight percent said that the most dominant characteristic about being
high and eating was that one's appetite was stimulated; one had a tremendous appetite
while high. Thirty-one percent said that the food tasted more delicious high than
ordinarily, that eating was a more enjoyable experience. Eleven percent said, merely, that
they were more acutely aware of taste, that they could discern the various tastes more
accurately while high. The remaining respondents said that they were more aware, above
all, of the texture of the food while high, that the most important thing was that they
suddenly desired unusual combinations of foods, that they wanted to eat weird foods they
had never considered before, and that they had a special craving for sweet things.
We should also expect sexual activity to be closely intertwined with, and powerfully
influenced by, smoking marijuana, and in this, our expectations are well supported. Threequarters
of our interviewees said that they had experienced sex while high on marijuana.
We asked several specific questions on the difference between sex high on marijuana and
sex normally.
First I asked, "Do you think being high on marijuana stimulates your sex interest, or
not?" More than a third of the respondents said that marijuana had no effect on their
sexual desire. Five percent said that marijuana had a negative effect, that it turned them
off sexually. Thirteen percent said that the effect depends on their mood or on their sexual
partner. In this group, a common response among the women was that marijuana acts as a
sexual stimulant when they're with someone with whom they're already intimate, but

when they smoke with a stranger, the prospect of sex becomes even more distasteful than
ordinarily. For these women, marijuana seems to polarize sexual desire. But 44 percent, a
strong plurality, replied that marijuana definitely increased their sexual desire.
Next, I asked, "Is your enjoyment of sex any different high?" The respondents were less
divided on this question. An overwhelming majority, 68 percent, replied that marijuana
increased their sexual enjoyment, that their orgasmic pleasure was heightened by the drug.

They're funny plants when it comes to cuttings. They seem to be much slower to take than most, but the huge
amount of vigor that is inherent in the breed means that the cuts don’t die- they just hang around and don't
do much. I took cuttings of my over-wintering mother which took about 3 weeks to take- during this time, the
cuts didn’t look ill, and didn’t grow, they just 'existed'. The mother plant doesn’t do well indoors- mine seemed
to get freaked out and started to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I
don’t know why.
