Abbie hoffman tips

in "Steal this Book" abbie hoffman says that if you bury weed in the ground and then dig a month or two later it up itll be moldy and really awesome to smoke. anybody know if this is true/done this?

 

...I wouldn't smoke moldy weed dude, that probably tastes like shit...

 

Hoffman was a CIA troll, from what I've heard.

 

sounds gross...

 

haha nasty. i got some moldy bread in my kitchen, going for two hundred an ounce, kids!

 

People say u can halusinate from moldy rye bread and u can but then ur limbs fall off and im not even kidding

 

you're not kidding, but you're not right, either. ergot doesnt grow on bread, it grows on the grain itself, and even then you'd need a certain amount to develop gangrene....

at any rate, abbie hoffman was not involved with the CIA by any means, and steal this book is entertaining and amusing, and has some relatively good ideas some places in it, but he did NOT know much about drugs. don't take ANY drug related information in that book seriously. much of it is just wrong and misinformed, some may be potentially dangerous.

 

What abbie said I had heard several years earlier from a beatnik.
You were supposed to put pot on a jar, moisten it with wine and bury it for 2--4 weeds, so that a mold grew on it.
And smoking this moldy weed got you higher, as the story went.
Don't do it.

The Salem witch scare of the 1600's was caused, scientists now believe, by eating moldy grain.
Ergot is a mold that grows on damp grain. LSD is a synthesized form of mold.
Scientists back in the 50's were looking for a way to kill ergot and needed a synthesized easily created form of it to try different ways to kill it. A tiny bit was ingested by a researcher who was the first guy to take an LSD trip as he was riding his bike home.
Many visions seen by people who claimed God was talking to them (Ezekial's wheel within a wheel which carried a description of humanoids, Moses' burning bush, etc.) may have been caused by accidential ingestion of ergot.

 

your account of the creation of LSD is entirely wrong, and in fact set in the wrong decade as well.

 

uhh... if u smoke weed.. and the mold gets into ur lungs cant u get really really sick? i mean think about it, ur smoking a bacteria!! haha i wouldnt try it, just smoke the bud by itself and not moldy haha peace~

 

mold is not a bacteria, mold is a fungus

 

thats what i thought... haha but thanks for the correction ok let me say it again

why would u want to smoke a fungus? that can harm u if it gets into your lungs? haha idk man, go for it if u want to!! but mold can get u sick and its not a good thing.

 

I wouldn't do it, because it's moldy and thus ruined, gross. But the flame probably destroys all the mold. Although, spores are really tough little things, and it's possible they could survive it. Ugh, I'd never do it.

 

hoffman's more approvable work is in nutritional pharmacology, ive never looked at his stuff concerning drugs. chances are theres a reasoning behind the idea of burying it in this fashion, but who knows what the price is.

 

huh?

 

the price on your lungs

 

Im sorry, but I aint smokin mold

 

you're thinking of albert hoffman, the swiss chemist who invented LSD-25 in 1938 (not the 50s, as someone else suggested), i believe. the discussion is on abbie hoffman, the american counter-culture political revolutionary that wrote "steal this book," and his comments on drug use in said book. albert hoffman would be much more accurate regarding drug issues, but abbie hoffman was no scientist. not by a long shot.

 

Smoking mold is horrible for you. Anyone that buys this garbage deserves what's coming to them. What the fuck ever happend to COMMON SENSE

I'm sorry, but over and over again people ask these stupid fucking questions which are very obviously bullshit. Unless you are a complete moron you should know it. I'm not being an ass, but people need to learn to figure these things out.

Smoking mold = BAD.

Smoking various household chemicals on your weed = BAD

Stabbing yourself in the left food = BAD

This is not hard stuff to understand, people.

 

fuck im not thinkning of either of them, im thinkning of abram hoffer

lol i believe these things happen when you miss sleep
