Thanks, Mike. Very interesting and informative.

I didn't see my Datura Inoxia (Jimson Weed) listed. That's OK, I never use
the wood, leaves or beautiful flowers for smoke, although I have been known
to imbibe a tea made from the roots on occasion.

Nick. Listening to Anna Netrebko, sipping an Aberlour a'bunadh rocks and
dreamin' of the Huygens Probe drifting down to Titan. Merry Christmas!

Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops! You are not forgotten. Thanks.

Wow, best (worst) trip I ever went on was from those seeds. Makes LSD seem
like aspirin in comparison.

Hey, TFF®, never tried the seeds. I used the method described by Carlos
Castaneda. It, also, was other-worldly! The San Pedro cactus, on the other
hand, I find to be more like Nopales, but tastier.

Nick. Sluggin' a Rum & Coke and dreaming of the Huygens Probe driftin' down
to Titan. Remember the end of WW II, 31 December 1946.
