EGA Microdose Webcast 9: Psychedelics, addiction, & coke tek
Episode Nine - Psychedelics, addiction, & the coke bottle tek
Webcast nine will also feature ethnobotanist Dr Liam Engel, who will provide some detail around EGA’s recent guide to building coke bottle terrariums. Make sure to rummage through your recycling and bring two identical double-flanged bottles, something pointy and a pair of scissors for some direct instruction during the webcast.
Hosted by Nick Wallis & EGA.

Segment One: Methamphetamine to psychedelics, and back again.
Dr Jonathan Brett will give a live update on the upcoming St Vincent’s study of psilocybin psychotherapy for methamphetamine dependence and review important research studies relevant to this work. Jonathan will also discuss the current state of Australian psychedelic research and will conclude by taking questions on his study.

Segment Two: Coke bottle tek: A terrarium technique.
EGA’s new guide to the coke bottle terrarium technique documents a simple, innovative and recyclable way of growing plants from seed.
Coke bottle tek is a modification of the famous 'take-away tek', which uses plastic bottles for raising cacti and succulents from seed. Coke bottle tek is a set-and-forget technique, allowing plants to become more established with less human intervention, better preparing them for outdoor, in-ground environments and reducing the need for up-potting. Coke bottle tek also represents a more recyclable and environmentally friendly alternative to take-away tek.
