There was a tagline doing the rounds about the dangers of Di-hydrogen oxide 'causes several fatalities each year, gaseous form causes severe skin lesions, implicated in every case of polluted streams and rivers' ... that sort of thing ;-) http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html :-) Brilliant! :-) -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Any idea which plant?
"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message k... The message from "Des Higgins" contains these words: Holey Saint Imelda!!!! I am glad I never bloody well ate that then. During one daft undergraduate phase, I tried smoking Carroway seeds (disgusting), Deliberately 'planted' urban legend, I believe. dried banana skins This was definitely put about to embarrass the 'authorities', and hoping they'd be silly enough to ban bananas. (Hence the pop song 'They call it Mellow Yellow'. Wow; live and learn (that was a Donovan song??). All of this is quaint and delightfully silly (me sitting in my bedroom trying to smoke carroway seeds 30 years ago) except for the Datura bit. That sounds like a nasty experience and makes me feel lucky/idiotic for blindly trying things like that. One problem with health warnings on plants like Datura coming from government sources used to be that governments used to be just as bad at spreading lies about drugs as the long haired idiot from next door. Now that I have kids, I would like information to be as clear and factual as possible and without the hype that says that cannabis will make you vote Lib Dem and listen to Bulgarian Jazz naked. When people lie about drugs, the real dangers get blurred. and eating nutmeg. Nutmeg contains strychnine. But the word 'nutmeg' is used for a code for cannabis resin. -- Rusty horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
