.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 do not suggest or imply attempting such
folk use, nor guarantee any such claims regarding medicinal or other attributes
to be correct, for the original sources may be inaccurate or unfounded. 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. Anything special you've been
looking for? Maybe we have it, or can source it or direct you. Please inquire.
Include a SASE unless inquiry accompanies an order.
