I should have posted this sooner.....

Dragibus! Help fund a new entheogenic print magazine.

Hello all,
I am just making my way over here from the eDot fallout. I was 'himdumb' over there, and most of the rest of the entheo sites but thought i go with dragibus here. Anyway, I am attempting to start a quarterly print publication on the botany, cultivation, history, and usage of medicinal and entheogenic plants. I am crowd-funding the operation through Kickstarter and need some help doing it. If you arent familiar with kickstarter it is a website where you submit projects that you need funding for. People pledge different amounts to try and help you meet your goal. No one pays anything unless the funding goal is met ($5k in my case) and it wont be charged until the end of my project (Feb 16th). Those pledging to the project will receive rewards, like copies of the magazine, a 'thank you' in the magazine, ad space, ...

    Dragibus is to be a quarterly print publication on the botany, cultivation, history, and usage of medicinal and entheogenic plants. Our publication will be a glossy, full color, full size magazine. We intend to have at least 28 pages and print at least 1000 copies. The money raised will go towards funding the cost of production, printing, and shipping of the first issue. Any extra money raised by our project will go towards printing more pages in the issue and more copies of the magazine.

    In the first few issues of our magazine we intend to have articles on Banisteriopsis species cultivation and identification, a study of Acacia confusa, a look at Entheogenesis Australis 2011, herbal beer recipes, plant history pieces, interviews, and more.

The link wouldn't open for me, where do I get my hands on this magazine? Sounds Great! Thank You!

[dragibus]

Hey Lalababa,
All the links in this thread appear to be working for me, maybe the site was down for some reason when you tried.  It is up now and you can order the magazine at:  http://www.dragibusmag.com/?a=order

Thanks,
Steve

Hello everyonel,
The newest issue of Dragibus is out now! This issue features a piece on Psychoactive Insects, a review of Breaking Convention 2013, a Calamus Porter and more...

[Calaquendi]

Wow!!!!
   ~ I was JUST considering this notion yesterday  [and for no good reason] - are there are really psychedelic insects? I am aware of none (as yet) so this will be an exciting issue, man! Thanks so much for the heads up; really looking forward to learning more...keep up the good work

[Bancopuma]

Thanks for the heads up on this! Have a few copies now and will keep my eyes out...loved the article on psychoactive insects, I did a masters in entomology at uni so this was of particular interest...psychedelic entomologly/ethnoentomology is a very niche field indeed!! So great to learn more about this. Thanks for a great magazine!
