    Thank you very much :) it's a fairly big apartment mind you. Most of my living space is dedicated to plants anyways. I live for plants and nature so I don't see the issue. I also have fish shrimp and a tarantula lol. I have multiples of most plants as well. I just brought my passion flower vines indoors the caerulea is around 15 feet tall they are being fumagated with the other plants that just got brought it. It gets cold in Canada around this time.

    I get seeds of them shipped to me, and another local grower grows them so I can get mature plants as well. They are legal where I live specifically "peyote" is exempt from the scheduling... Enough said. Anyways I bought my trich collection in some "mixed" cacti pots, turns out most of them were from the same family was I ever pleased.

    I actually have a few lophs :)

    Lol lets be honest.. I do.. but on the flip side if you take a REAL close look ( and knowing my location ) they are legal aha. The law states that I can posses any viable seed or grow any plant as long as my intentions arnt negligible.. now I know that one San Pedro there has been cut , but that was done before I got it so that's none on my business. I grow plants because I like them, it's not my fault that they happen to contain useful things.

    I don't PLAN to use my lophs for anything , they are just part of the collection. It will take about 10 years for them to grow to about 10cm in diameter. I like entheogenic plants specifically because of the culture and history behind them. There is a lot of interesting historical facts about natives to different cultures using all sorts of things for medicinal reasons that have now been long since forgotten about. I don't have nearly as many plants as I have on my "wanted" list and ever day I find a new medicine or plant I wish to grow.

    I keep having goji plants grow in my compost. I seem to have a nack for growing things.
