thats What i Heard

 

Here are a few sites they say simular things to above http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/urban/peoria/gazette/0410-shorts.html

www.herbage.info/tej/files/H295.htm

this stuff grows every where around here i dunno i might try it i'm stupid like that

 

useful source of antineoplastic chemmies (special cancer-fighting drugs) --- but not very safe for ummmm casual "recreational" use, mmmkay?

(if you had a decent laboratory, you might be able to do some CC work & seperate out the various alkaloids...)

 

but as for a like one time use till i get some money is it wroth it? has anyone tried it?
