Summary: Ancient hiker had mushrooms with him - what kind?

 I just watched a NOVA program about the finding of the IceMan - the ancient
hiker found in the mountains between Italy and Austria. Over two thousand years
old, the body was found with a number of his personal effects. One of them was
a pair of mushrooms, threaded on a thong. 

 A mushroom expert decided that they were for medicinal purposes - but the type
of mushroom was not mentioned, even though the program implied that they had
been identified by the mushroom expert.

 So, was IceMan an ancient 'shroomer, or was he just carrying around his 
medical kit? Anybody out there know what kind of mushrooms they were?

Tricyclic antidepressants like Pamelor are not recreational drugs.
They elevate the mood of (most) depressed individuals after taking them
for 2-6 weeks or so.  They are objectively unpleasant drugs to take; if
you're not depressed, they are probably as much fun as an antihistamine.
In fact, the primary side effects (dry mouth) are rather similar.

A typical dose of Pamelor is 100-150mg/day, though individuals work up
to this dose over a period of a week or two.

  that so much data is present on how much this chemical or that chemical is      
  is responsible for global warming, even though global warming has not been proven

Actually, chickpeas or oysters are just as good, and not quite as
dangerous.

Spanish fly irritates the stomach lining - overdosage can be
dangerous.  No such problems with oysters.

The only time I ever tried hbws, I took 20 because thats how many came
in the little package at the local head shop here in Austin (gas pipe, for
any Austinites out there).  I've posted about the experience before, but
that was about 2 years ago, at the time I did them.  The evening went
basically as follows:

10:00pm ingested 20 ground up seeds (used coffee grinder) in some lime-aid.
11:00pm felt kinda tired/kinda ill in the stoumach.
12:00am woke up from a semi-lucid nap of sorts with the light on the
        ceiling 'moving' a bit.
 1:00am feeling intoxicated, VERY HEAVY (like gravityX10).
	went outside, started seeing geometric patterns in the trees etc.
 2:00am went inside, put Miles Davis 'Bitches Brew' on the cd player and
	layed down.
 3:30am after what seemed a second, or maybe a million years, I 'awoke' to
	find that the disk had ended.  at least I assume it had ended, I
	know I had started it before laying down and at this point it was
	over.
 4:00am layed on my bed feeling as rejuvinated, renewed as I have ever felt.

All I remember of the 2:00-3:00am time period was basically being a point of
light in a space of infinite darkness.  Perhaps not a great explanation, it
doesn't express the way felt very well, but its the best I can do for now.

My point is: take 25 seeds if you like, but be prepared to puke an hour or two
later and don't expect to do anything that involves contact with reality.

It was the most religious drug experience (or any experience) i've ever had.

	I have a rather novel method for the consumption of hash. Keep
a .5 litre (quart) jar in the freezer (which is usually conveniently
located close to the stove). Put a book (or anything flat and light for
that matter) on the counter or table beside the stove.  When the knives
are toasty warm place the frozen jar upside-down on the book with about
2.5 cm (1 inch) hanging over the edge of the book.  When knifing the
hash hold the knives under the jar overhang so that all the intoxicating
smoke rises into the jar.  Push the jar back so that the book completely
covers the top of the jar, flip the jar and book over so that no smoke 
escapes. Gently slide the book off the top of the jar. Put lips to jar 
as if you were about to drink and inhale as you tip the jar back. 
	The smoke is cool and almost refreshing.  It sounds like a lot of
work, but is in fact worth every bit of effort put into it.  If you make
sure that the jar is returned to the freezer between each hoot it will 
remain cool all night.

Ulrich. The complaint was not about his lack of knowledge about drugs. It 
was about his seeming intent to force a drug on an unsuspecting person. That
is an assault and is totally unacceptable in any even moderately civilized

>but how do you get the N2O from the cartridge into the balloon?
>qually@utopia.hacktic.nl (Qualtinger)

well, if you have the little metal canisters (look like a micro-version
of the standard bottled-gas tank...

the seal on the top of the bottle can be popped with a nail or any other
sharp object.

the ideal setup is to find a plastic bottle top or some other plastic
piece that will fit around the top .5cm of the bottle, and also is small
enuf that a balloon can be fitted on the other end.  Attach a nail or
other sharp obect to the cap, the balloon to the nail-head end, pop some
secondary holes around the nail, and just push the nail into the seal.

like so....
           ------ secondary holes
          /
       \  |      / <- mouth of balloon
        \ v _   /
        |- -|- -| <- plastic cap
        |   |   |
            | <----- nail
          |---|
          |   | <--- gas cansiter

the closer the cap fits around the canister, the more gas will get to
the balloon.  If the cap is to big, just wrap a gummi (rubber-band)
around the neck of the canister to make a seal between the canister and
the cap.

fit the ballon, hold the cap around the balloon, make sure that the gas
can get through the holes into the ballon, hold tight, and push the nail
through the foil seal on the canister. Sometimes the nail will stick in
the seal, and you will have to pull the nail back out a bit.

thats it.  the standard canisters here for filling whip-cream dispensers
will give about 1/2 a standard balloon of fun.

oh, make sure you aim the ballon/nail bit away from you, in case you
slip and it goes "wwwwwwhhhhhhheeeeeeeeee" away from you.

your mileage may vary, not responsible for any damage, blah blah blah..

You can test the device by inhaling from the tube with no tobacco in the
bowl.  Here are some troubleshooting rules:

1.  If there are no bubbles, you don't have enough water in the bong.

2.  If water gets in your mouth or on the tobacco, you have too much water.

The purpose of the device is to cool the smoke by bubbling it through the
water.
