This is heartbreaking. This is why we can’t have nice things. The great Aussie bush is going to be closed off to everyone. Respect the land people

[@talanmoult1873]

Absolutely vulgar behavior
Once this kind of problem starts it will very seldom stop until everything is gone.
That area urgently needs to be protected as soon as possible.

[@hexedelic1899]

Thanks for sharing, very disheartening but the true and impact of non sustainable DMT harvesting needs to be seen. Not all DMT harvesting is so negative. More Education is needed for sure.

[@js119]

Sad site to sight 😢

[@chevyenigma7914]

Ingredients are easily accessible online if you watching these videos, you probably don’t know what you’re doing anyway. 😂

[@tonigood7245]

Although they may contain high contents in the leaves and stems the chlorophyll makes extraction very difficult

[@tkcaapi2876]

Obtusifolia frm NSW is on invasive list in Vic. Plenty to harvest ✌️good source

[@qwertyasdf2232]

Had no luck thus far

[@byronandrews29]

Perth hills😢

[@qwertyasdf2232]

Hey mate I’m a fellow Aussie in vic none of the longfolia or florabunda have come back active

[@marcthumm3960]

Incredibly upsetting!

[@fabzlab1980]

What happened ceremony and respect..just dont hack at it ...own benefit ...once upon a time proper medicine men and woman ...

[@bretthernan7589]

The 'deeper connection with nature' sought by the psychonaut is here shown for what it truly costs nature.

[@DesperatelySeekingAudrey]

Looks like new and old poaching - probably the same person. Can you set up a camera?

[@Gunjaroo]

That’s a good idea!

[@miheadhurts]

And some landmines.

[@justin-dr6sx]

Whats the name of these Acacias?

[@Ego_Ergo]

We humans... 😢

[@ESPSJ]

There's possibilities worth considering here. For example council workers are instructed to seek out and destroy psilocybin containing mushrooms, even if they're in areas people wont necessarily go. We also know how strongly the police are against harvesting them. It could be possible that government agencies are seeking out these Acacias and destroying them.

[@jabjabmoneygrab7691]

Yeh good thinking but if it was they'd just do the whole lot and be done with it. They have no qualms doing things that are in nobody's best interest.

[@hexedelic1899]

This seem highly unlikely. These plant are endangered. The government not removing them. Council some time spray mushrooms but they do not generally remove them.
The government Policing maybe, but destroying no I do not buy that.

[@bricklaya6337]

Not in a national park.. and least not with a rare and threatened species with a conservation plan in place. That would be against the law. I've seen no evidence to suggest that governments are doing that.. I highly doubt council workers are instructed to go tear the bark off a highly threatened species in a national park.

[@jabjabmoneygrab7691]

@@bricklaya6337 What are you in love with a council worker? Your caught out mate!

DMT was life changing for me. After taking them for the first time 🛒​🇪​​🇽​​🇴​​🇹​​🇮​​🇨​​🇵​​🇸​​🇾​​🇨​​🇭​​🇪​​🇵​​🇭​​🇦​​🇷​​🇲​​🇦​​🇨​​🇪​​🇺​​🇹​​🇮​​🇨​​🇦​​🇱​​🇸​.​🇨​​🇴​​🇲​ I became one face of a multi-faceted experience prism, my side being my particular life experience.

[@peacesalamonlyone]

Shouldn't you feel more nature loving and respectful when consuming DMT??
Apparently not 🤷🏻‍♂️
