I've a few projects in mind this year! At the moment I've a few bits growing left from last before
Trichocereus Pachanoi - San pedro, containing mescaline alkaloids. They're pretty small, I've only two at the moment and I can't find the last of my seeds
Morning Glory - I'm sure there's some sprouting from pots from last year! I'll be planting some more soon anyway!
Echinacea purpurea - I've gotten seeds for this sitting here, planting these next week! I've done extractions on the flowers and roots before, keeping me going a good while now
Somniferum Papaver - It's become a yearly thing now growing these..
Weed - I've 100+ seeds built up so I'm going to guerilla grow around in the local fields, a lot are left fallow so I'll have a good stack of outdoor weed!
Nicotiana
- This was taken from a biology lab demonstrating different GUS reporter stains.. So I've a few seedlings going!
Hypericum Perforatum - St Johns Wort - has the MAOi's hypericin & hyperforin in it, and both being natural antibiotics and antivirals (hyperforin has activity against MRSA)
Atropa Belladonna - I've found some plants in college (outside the chemistry building
) so I've a few cuttings in propagation and have a pile of seeds I picked up last year.
I'll post some pics of what I've got when I get a chance!

Very nice! I am going to probably be growing all sorts of plants next year - but we'll see, I have lately been into fungi, but i still need to keep a healthy seed collection going. 
I am hoping to get some dodder - it is a parasitic plant that is a Convolvulaceae - so it is related to morning glory... Since there is that endophyte that produces LSA stuff in heavenly blue morning glory, HBWR, and even things like sweet potato - I am going to try to get them all growing together and feeding the convolvaceae - I have no idea if it will transfer the fungi, and I have no way of verifying.. but its something that will keep my mind busy.
Maybe i will be able to get more than 5 morning glory seeds this year - the damn snow came and made all my thousands of unripe morning glory seeds freeze and rot last year..
I really need to move to Florida or something.

I tried to grow Passiflora fruit,Giganteun and Macedonian Poppy but weater is erratic this year,
it was more than 20-25°C in mid February and now it is again freezing cold and snowy agan...
God smighted all my sprouts...
Hope it's not too late to try it again.

They are looking a bit etiolated, wouldn't hurt to get some more light on them.

I know those are rare,but did anyone of you ever encoutered Salvia Diviniorum seeds!?
It would be interesting project to grow that thing but importing live plants is tricky here.

This is where a tissue culture might come in useful.... much easier and way more stable to transport...

Wow !!! Well done .
The first two are members of the same family as coffee frtom what i`ve read = Psychotria Viridis grown indoors after the temperature drops below 4°C each year . The mama was 9 years old before it polenated itself and produced the seeds . It was grown from a part oif a leaf as big as a thumb nail .Makes an interesting tea with P.Harmala .......LOL ......DROOL .......
The third picture is of indoor coca ...... BUT ........ the content isnt there and its a wimpish plant . It doesnt like any changes = moveing it or even turning it round . 20 sprouted but last time i was there there was only 1 left .
SO as that one didnt baffle you what is this ?
PS Vesp if i were you and you havent already done it i would grow ginko . Its a good nootropic that doesnt fuck ones brain chemistry up like i think piracetam and the like do .

The 3rd and 4th plant in your last post is mimosa pudica (sensitive plant)

I was going to say the same thing there. Mimosa, most likely M.pudica, I would need a much more detailed closeup of the leaves opened to distinguish between M.pudica and some closely related species. The first plant, I'm going to hazard a guess at Duboisia (pituri, corkwood bush), which contains a lot of nicoting, and/or nornicotine in D.hopwoodii, and other species contain a mixture of the above and some of the belladonna alkaloids, notably hyoscine and laevo-atropine.
