i smell tangents.

to get back on topic: the community is never at risk of fading away. no amount of oppression could suffocate the human directive. what is happening now is in no way more treacherous than the atrocities committed by man in the length of it's history. i will never fall victim to the fears of a dying community because i have only myself to blame should the light die; it is my choice to fore-go all of the information made available to me so that it may never happen.

Much of the native European plant knowledge is presumed lost after millenia of Christian persecution... the same is happening much faster now with the ancestral knowledge of dead and dying tribes in the Amazon.

Compare how many people take psychedelics now compared with how many took them in the 1960s. Persecution has already weakened our numbers. The only silver lining is that ingenuity in the face of oppression has led to to some wonderful breakthroughs, such as the greenteks.

Which, might I add, are the only possible way that extraction could ever be made legal.

Just look mimosa up on wikipedia. Or google mimosa and skin care or something. I've seen it in skin care lotions.

Yeah, but it's the mimosa bark sold for preparing skin care products, not the root bark.

And if anyone here has any experience with dyeing fabric, they may know that even though MHRB can make dyestuff (in theory and limited practise), it is not the best dyestuff to dye clothes with. Cotton dyes very difficultly with MHRB extract whereas wool needs to be very carefully mordanted with carefully selected mordant and even so the colour bleeds easily.

People usually go for other plant sources if they desire a MHRB-like colour, e.g. black oak, bloodroot, brazil wood and others.
