MAGIC MUSHROOMS GONNA BE APPROVED FOR GENERAL POPULATION SOON

 AND I QUOTE: "Oral psilocybin is showing itself to be clinically efficacious by producing statistically significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms over time versus control in multiple clinical trials. It has also been shown to reduce cigarettes per day and drinks per day in patients with substance use disorders. Thus far, there have been no significant adverse clinical events from psilocybin and there also have been no verifiable recorded deaths reported. Larger studies need to be performed before the drug can potentially become approved for use in the general population."

Rare Canadian (Quebecois) Essential Oils Goldenrod, Fern, Firs......

last night i found another distiller from quebec this one is golden! as in GOLDENROD ESSENTIAL OIL AND FERN ESSENTIAL OIL can you imagine how many damn fronds you would need to collect to make fern essential oil?? I am a little annoyed that I found them because now I *NEED* to smell these things. Damn.

Now don't say I never helped you.

Please buy responsibly and ethically!
Do not resell these on etsy for $36 per .5ml like that lame violet glass person in the states.  She does NO FARMING whatsoever and simply does not deserve that money.she cant even edit her copy its all wrong spelling and bad grammar.  for all i know she bought it off those girls in cali. actually they have some pretty rare stuff.... but after i get the fern and decide which goldenrod to get i wont buy every zest either because instead i'll be working on remaking the gardenia perfume (magnolia) and the violet may rose (honey may) or maybe honey rose. how can i describe this delicious floral honey nectar of the goddesses we believe exist? made the formula twice, both were 100% love. some of the ingredients are roman chamomille (this is the only therapeutic oil in the blend) honeysuckle absolute, rose de mai, reseda absolute, mimosa absolute (accacia dealbata aka wattle) sandalwood (santal album) this is the commercial grade oil, which i find very good!! (no idea on the expensive grades actually) labdanum absolute... ok i could go on but these are the heavy hitters... this isnt a botanical perfume as it has some aromatic chemicals and actually i think i need to change the magnolan but with what???? i think im allergic to it is why. i need to finalize the dosage of magnolan since i am very skinsensitive. i love the stuff though and every perfume i made last year had the damn stuff in it.... all day long baby!

bergamot tip !

im making a bergamot recreation and its already super realistic with 6 ingredients! just found 5 more to add in small amounts. im only using essential oils and its a lot of fun, like doing a puzzle or mind game, if you like those.... been making dilutions all day and im so glad i invested in 100 tiny bottles! .30 cents a piece is a small price to pay for the convenience of use! so many dilutions!
ive made a few formulas for other perfume ideas and some of the accords i made are turning out really well. if i didnt get that thanaka lime also known as persian lime (its those little black ones for food) which is citrus x latifolia (key lime and lemon) i wouldnt have been able to make this wonderful bergamot recreation!
some of the ingredients im using are
bitter orange (citrus x aurantium) respiratory, lemon (citrus limon), blood orange (citrus x sinensis), ...... woops ! dont want to give it all away! specially now that im getting better. at making perfume formulas. its like when you get that click in your head..all my years of reading and learning and smelling are now exploding and i kind of finally know what the heck im doing making these perfumes. so this one is all essential oils. if i get these oils as therapeutic grade this blend would be the best! cos its got so many other beneficial plants in it ... this blend would be great as an

oil and it will be my first experiment with roller bottles and making a "perfume oil" but actually its an aromatherapy blend... but dont tell anyone that! atomizer blend! its for my lungs, a stimulant, it will refresh your system (conceptually) im reading about the medicinal properties of the individual chemical constituents in the oils im using to "recreate bergamot" which has an interesting lineage! but i think calling it a perfume would be more chic. i think im going to call it Bergamot 41.... for my "original"  birthday creation. of course i had a little help along the way from all the little avatars on basenotes..... (a lot of help in the form of nudges i got from comments and posts and i would make mental notes while doing the work of smelling/memory and creation) if it works out its a simple accord and also a complicated formula. I got the lime to rework the cannabis accord actually.. wanted to try to make a bergamot with lemonile and triplal but will play with these maybe have a version with a.c.'s to add structure and longevity and strength.. and while trying to find out what triplal and lemonile was and how it could be bergamot, i ended up making a bergamot, 1, because i go a nature identical "essential oil" and a real one from the same vendor but drat could not find the bergamot, which has aired out. i did however have my old sample still and used it as a reference instead but have been using my suppliers analysis to recreate the bergamot. it would also be good as a tincture or super dilution as a flavouring there is ... ok i will give up more ingredients... hyssop (hyssopum officianalis and chamomile (chamomelum nobille) blood thinner which are beneficial  get so excited with dumb things i learn i want to tell everyone and find out what they know about it too. im such a doofus of course everyone hates this kind of behaviour. when i made the second version and smelled my last bergamot sample from new directions as a comparison i could not believe how accurate my choices were!!! of course it needed fleshing out but wow! ive never done this before picture me on the sofa on the coffee table all these bottles everywhere sniffing one palm then the other giggling with glee and shock (the bergamot from new directions was inexpensive though, do you think it was diluted, the sample on wikipedia is green almost like olive and ive never bought one like that) (i wondered if after all the good stuff was done how many more passes ethyl alcohol will have on the pressed peels) interesting bit is learning about the history of lime, which originated from a philippine citrus, from the south, not for food use but rather cosmetic in use due to its use as a shampoo (the citric acid i suppose closes the hair shaft, cleanses the scalp, and makes the hair very shiny and the oil makes the hair fragrant) it might have also coloured the hair to orange or lighter brown because of the high bergapten in the oil. which is photosensitive, then down the line as the fruit was passed along as a gift- because it would have been rather precious to tend to a live plant across the ocean if they were just using huge galleons at the time. . .i guess they brought seeds but the live plant as a gift is def the way to go and totally believeable because why import a plant that has no nutritional value (oh wait..scurvy)  at some point this lime was crossed with lemon to make the key lime probably adding more pulp as described in wiki, then this fruit was paired with the bitter orange to make bergamot . . . the rest is history !-- ok wait im a bit confused here. so citrus micrantha is bred citrus limon and then with bitter orange to make bergamot. in world war 2 italy was banned from exporting bergamot by the allied forces (united nations) to tone down their aggression during the war so other countries took over the bergamot trade for a while using sweet limes from brazil so the smell is not the same which is why (maybe) there are two bergamot oils. the original one and the fake one. and also to note bergamot oil i guess is classified as a fragrance oil because it was bred for cosmetic use. isnt that a weird spin.  there isnt much study on the medicinal effects of bergamot as of 2017. the poison is the dose is why the original limes were small and had not much juice. the strength of the scent carried it through and its origin was not lost because the fragrance could be traced. much like language and genes.

taxes in canada

doing taxes is like
woah wtf
i got an accountant again last year when i was dead broke and on assistance
to prove to the lady that was hating on me that i wasnt frauding the government.
holy hell honestly
i wonder what that acronym can stand for h.h.h. it sounds like a ...
someone choking on soup.

turns out despite my chronic broke status, completely addicted to cigarettes, always trying a wine to see if ill like it, always hauling ass on transit, dead broke the whole damn time, i am still owing income tax. really justin? still owing income tax? oh yeah and if i buy weed at the dispensary its also taxed and those ones arent very good. yeah i understand that the roads need to be fixed and stuff like that but honestly putting this burden on individuals is stupid and overbearing. its less worse than the credit card and banks though, for sure. omg those are worse because of their collection tactics. they have horrible collection tactics and that is because they are not transparent. you pay taxes and you can find out where they are going. every cent. and the policies made to pay them are laid out by the politics. its not easy but its available and how the system works. meanwhile the banks and credit card companies are absolute terrorists taking your money and not telling you how its used at all. you wont know how your interest was made and you dont know their collection and information gathering tactics. its unnerving and it shouldnt be normal standard operating procedure.

yup thats my rant for the day while im hold in the hole with the tax people on the phone.

i finished reading lord of the rings last night! i wish i read it slower. damn. i think it lasted only two weeks. at least i have still the appendixes and the other books.

dropped off pieces earlier to briers! lots of cute new loves for valentines day so go check it out before it is all sold! briers is on west 4th by arbutus.

then after i went over the lacy west and its right in the same building as where the or gallery was, and woah! its full of stuff. im saving to get a tumbler and pellets so i can silver plate without having all the weird white deposits. got me some jax brown black. :D

finally got gold plating solution it was 90 bones! i didnt get a gold anode, but instead a stainless steel one, so the gold comes from the solution instead a gold anode. i got 18kt, coz i think 24kt is too almost orange. for me, at least. im going to do some plating after i finish up eating and shipping. simes is making food :D

other good news plenty decides to try out a few of my designs and will be carrying a few necklaces and earrings soon. ill post here when i deliver!

today and the other day i got all that i mailed on monday returned to me in the mail. so annoying. most of them are for dimensions and a couple are for weight. the goodie bags won off the newsletter are too heavy!

a car alarm woke me up so many times last night and early today. i woke 5 times from 2 am to 7 am. i finally wrote the car a long 'fuckin' note, bolded it and stuck it on the windshield. then the owner came out of my building and told me to stop trying to steal his car!! the asswipe! i totally told him off. and now im back up here. who needs coffee when you have pricky neighbors lol!
-----------------------------


i totally forgot to write to the winners last night! omg!
ima doing it now.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: im not getting the messages posted from the contact form of my site!! ;; if you can send me an email or leave a comment on this ere blog thatd probly be better.

DAMN YOU CANADA POST> YOU SUCK.

i called canada post today and talked to this lovely lady named Joanne (! see post below) from the ontario office. since the canada post system is down today (of course it is) she had to hand write everything about my complaint.
geez!
im putting the right postage on there, using a customs form, and the frikkers keep sending packages back to me.
i feel used.
bastards!
i now need to check the site tomorrow, and ask the postal workers (again!) what it is exactly that i am doing wrong (if there is anything wrong aside from a freaky postal worker who just wants to add misery and annoyance to my days)
damnit!!!!
anyway there.
boo canada post. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
