Yeah this is what I heard too
What’s so special about australia? Get your head out of your butt!
Of course they will cover up, if they already haven’t done so!
I'll be honest, although I've dabbled in such things in the distant past, even if I was still doing such thungs I would steer well away from unexplained hallucinogenic spinach that's been hospitalising people! Would love to know why the fuck it's doing such things though. Thanks so much for the tip!
This is why I'm pushing to do some tests on the spinach itself. This could only be an unknown species of fungus or bacteria, or an intentional act, a spinach-spiking if you will. Given the humongous trouble cost co would get in over this I think it's reasonable that external parties need to look into this
Thankyou!! Every little helps
Stash in the machine sounds plausible but still, the options for what said stash consisted of are fairly limited, and for it to effect 9 people that severely it would need to be a shit tonne of stuff, and would most likely be intentional
It has happened in the past

It’s the devil’s lettuce.
Funnily enough there are species of lettuce that are psychoactive, but trippy spinach is massively questionable
A lot of plants can cause these issues, but none of them could accidentally make it onto shelves packed with spinach. It's a miraculously unlikely scenario!

Low corruption and world class food safety standards and regulators.
You need a healthy level of skepticism about literally everything that comes out of anyone’s mouth. My mouth, your parents mouths, « experts » mouths and especially the government’s. My only thing though, is that if these were sprayed with lsd for example, stuff ain’t free, so why would someone do that and not just enjoy with friends 🤷‍ maybe silly statement mais juste une pensée
I just found out about the recall, I bought frozen spinach last weekend. In the morning, I'll check if it's from the recall batches. If it is, I'm as happy to send it to you as return it.
Sorry, not sure why I thought it was frozen spinach recall, and not fresh. I can't send you any.
As someone who's had some unlisted side effects to medications (it kept my specialist guessing for months), I wonder not only what is in the spinach but if there's a genetic reason why these approx 70 people are having symptoms out of the thousands of people who have eaten baby spinach leaves. Have they consumed the only contaminated spinach. No doubt I have more questions than some because I'm used to having medical quirks.
Agreed. A modern mystery! Best of luck investigating

I read somewhere that it was possibly Datura that got mixed in with the spinach.
Previous comment mentioned that the contaminant was "unknown/unidentified". They definitely would've known if it was nightshade, unless it was completely powdered
Lol…..Low level corruption?
Very true on both counts, however LSD is one of many thousands of similar compounds, 99% of which are cheap to mass produce, and believe it or not legal as they're yet to be regulated by any official body, which makes it a pretty likely explanation
Worst case scenario, all it would take is one psychopath with an iq of 4 and a gram of something like, lets say [B-DFLY](https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Bromo-DragonFLY) to potentially kill 500 people. That same gram spread between 2000 packets of spinach could theoretically put people in hospital with the listed symptoms
Edit: the linked substance is now illegal due to the deaths it caused, so not a great example but that whole website is a pretty crazy rabbit hole
This is a big part of why I'm very very curious. It's entirely possible too that theres nothing psychoactive in the spinach but there is something interacting with some people medication. Theres so many possibilities here!
Possible but a very very difficult thing to do by accident, and datura shouldn't hospitalise people unless it's a good bit of it
Yeah sorry should have mentioned that was just a guess, definitely not a fact.
I could potentially see datura popping up in a crop field. Thorn apples will grow on empty blocks in suburban areas or anywhere unwanted plant growth goes unchecked. But you wouldn't be eating parts of that plant at the required levels to trip without noticing something was off. Even if only the seeds made it in with the spinach, although it may look like cracked pepper it is not going to taste like some light seasoning.
I follow, like when the synthetic weed called chronic was released. As it was novel, could be sold legally, just because legislation hadn’t caught up. Anyway, « the government » (tin foil hat on rn) can easily rationalise playing it down, trying not to cause widespread alarm in the community. Also reminds me of a little something that starting effecting people in this city called Wuhan, that apparently was nothing to worry about
Yeah exactly! It could theoretically make its way into the spinach, but theres no way large enough quantities are making it to the shelves, and if they are, youd have to be either dumb, or have never seen spinach in your life to think it's ok to eat a bag of mixed datura/spinach
I saw some of the recalled products were salad/vegetable mixed products. So it's entirely reasonable that someone would miss it there, or if they did see something odd to assume it was another vegetable.
Throwing a packet of baby spinach into a frying pan without going through it all leaf by leaf isn't an unreasonable thing to do, either.
There's also a whole lot of people who really don't know/can't identify what it is they're really eating, and don't look that closely at it.
Also, looking up Datura - the images on Google show a green leaf that's not wildly different from baby spinach. Just the one oddly shaped leaf in a salad bowl could go unnoticed to anyone who wasn't paying strict attention.
Both primary and secondary Public School students from all over NSW were involved in Creating The Magic.
I was there behind the scenes so I know it to be fact.
Whoever wrote that description probably didn't event see it.
Saying that the description is wrong is wrong. It isnt saying that they werent involved, and it didnt say that only secondary school students performed.

Oh who gives a fuck about some TV guide description nobody really reads?
If it's such a problem for you, Karen, then call the cops and make a report about this great discrimination that's been perpetrated upon the performing kids who wouldn't give a shit about this.
I’ve been a part of this for several years. It’s always the usual marketing putout from them where they focus on secondary students. It doesn’t really matter in the end because if people watch it they will see the younger ones anyway.
It is wrong. It's called exclusion. They could have simply said 'students' instead of specifying 'secondary'. Or stated 'primary and secondary students'.
No need to be rude. If you disagree, you can simply say nothing.
You might not care, rude person but there exists others in the world that do.
oh honey boo boo, its just a tv program description. maybe if u have a problem with it, dont use reddit to complain. the fact that u think complaining on reddit would do anything is hilarious
maybe take ur own advice
This might shock you, but you are not the only person in the world and I'm yet to find anyone else who has a stick up their arse about a TV guide description.
As I said, if it's such a big problem for you, you are free to call the cops and report this egregious crime.
I wonder why you haven't...
Gday, me and my mate want to make a war museum based near the ACT, maybe around bungendore. Anyway our idea is to have a little building that you start off in and then it goes out into historically accurate trenches featuring mannequin soldiers and and no man’s land. Unfortunately we don’t have too much money to start and are using our own personal collections to feature in the museum. We would greatly appreciate if someone were to be kind enough to devote a 300x500 plot of land to this project. We have our own tools but unfortunately not any land. Once the museum starts to become profitable we will pay the land owner back. Cheers guys.
Learn from the story of Granties Maze in Kiama and get your permissions sorted out before you start spending money. Talk to council and find out what you need before you get too invested.
Have u reached out to any of the reenactment people? They might be interested?
Ahh ok thanks mate, what do you recommend I ask them?
No I haven’t, that’s a good idea! Do you know of any reenactment groups around that area? Cheers mate.
As an alternative idea, you could have a chat to Temora Rural Museum. They have a large collection of WW2 memorabilia but it is poorly organized and a lot of it is starting to look tatty sadly. They have land and they have visitors but it looks like they could use a WW2 specialist to make something decent of their collection.
Honestly don’t know beyond just telling someone from the planning dept what you want to do. Once you open to the public you have all manner of issues to look to, from big like safety, evacuation, bush fire drills etc to small things like how many toilets do you need? Get any of that wrong and you can end up shut down, or worse sued, or worse still - jailed. Getting that list of requirements will help you decide if your passion project is worth it, and whether you can make it work.
For what it’s worth it sounds great and I’d visit.
Sorry not off the top of my head but shouldn't be too hard to find them. Good luck, sounds like a cool idea.
Cheers mate you’ve been a big help! I’ll talk to the temora rural museum and see what they can do!
Thanks mate!
Need a snake catcher for this area, for this summer. I will and am currently having a snake issue, and require and oncall catcher, for my home in town, but close to the bush. It is to protect my pets.
Tigers mainly, have one now, in outback BBQ area, sunning itself, she keeps on returning, so have rung a guy recommended by reddit sydney.
What savage beast is after pookie?
Whereabouts in the New England? It’s a huge area.
I could give you a contact for someone good in Glen Innes
I'm in the Liverpool Plains - here you ring the Local Council and they send out someone from the VRA to retrieve the wiggly ones.
The guy came and picked it up already, thanks but I would like another number just in case if you can mate? Near Inverell is my location.
ive been looking online and i havent been able to find anything, ive been trying to find whether or not it is illegal to ride a permanently closed bmx track, a government funded and closed one.
Not legal advice.
Probably the same as a closed park or other sporting ground. There won't be any organized events but very unlikely to actually get in any trouble.
Bear in mind that a permanently closed track will probably not be maintained and might be unsafe.
Think someone’s going to be in a little bit of trouble…
Job gone….
Thank goodness there’s never been an accidental discharge at Eagle Vale police station killing an officer. Oh, wait …
Perhaps NSW Police should teach their history to trainees.
Aaah, the wonderful example set by our police force!
They must be stupid
She is holding the phone up but the image is pointing down. She has two hands on the phone and another holding a pistol. I'm just confused

Nah. His weapon will be double padlocked and he'll go to a nice private hotel on South Coast for a fully funded and well medicated rest. He'll remain on full pay unless he wants out or continues his belligerence where he'll sit on 70% full pay for a max of 7 years if he can tolerate BS from insurers who will send former cops to stalk and harass forcing him toward a large payout. If he has a wife and children they're in for a world of hurt and will no doubt be gaslit by his treatment team to deny the obvious DV and pushed toward a love him harder model cos cops are clearly the biggest victims of all. People can't imagine how cooked the system really is.
