What legal things can make you trip?

What's this about sassafras being a thickener for gumbo? I'm cajun and I know a lot about cajun cooking, but we never put sassafras in our gumbo. We use good old Roux for thickener. Are you talking about File'? This is what we put in afterwards for flavor, just like seasoning or whatever. Interesting.

 

I think this thread should be stickied. Most questions in this section could be answered simply by reading this thread...

Dyna-Pep, they sell it in CVS and stores like that, it;s not very good tasting and its a 10 hour energy shot. but it hits you like a truck.

 

I know this is an old thread, but since someone bumped it up, I had to quote this guy's post again, very very complete post, said everything I would have said and a lot more.

 

Cactus is a really overlooked, legally obtainable, excellent drug. I myself haven't got the blessing of trying LSD yet, but I have friends who have tried both and they say mescaline is right on par with LSD in terms of value and overall experience.

Sending noods to Erowids, is like sending virgins to whore houses with no condoms...

Sassafras is common in the woods from Missouri east to the coast. Not aware of any mind-altering properties, just pleasant taste. Mildly toxic, so use wild sassafras sparingly or purchase sassafras that has been treated to remove the offending ingredient safrole.

Kava is a popular drink from Polynesia and is a pleasant mild sedative, legal and easy to find in stores. Wikipedia has directions for preparation.

 

drink enough Sassafras oil tea and youll be drunk like.. very happy.. Apart from sassafras tea, other sassafras products are also considered very dangerous. Sassafras oil, particularly is very detrimental for human health. It is of highly toxic nature and bring about many undesirable effects in human body. Heart palpitations, hallucinations are some other ramifications of consumption of sassafras tea. If the person consumed large amounts of sassafras oil, he is likely to die within 48 hours. If he does not, it is an indication that he may recover in short time. If the damage has reached the kidneys, then it may take several months to reverse the effects of sassafras oil.

 

... tropane alkaloids don't work for me... I've been cranking up doses of datura inoxia trying to find an effective one, and have been thus far unsuccessful. I do, however, have a slight aversion to eating more than 3 raw flowers orally. I don't wanna poison myself too much lol.

of course, my liver is god (fully metabolized 3 ld50's of hydrogen cyanide in 2 hours without so much as a headache), so a lot of toxins don't work on me. And indeed, erowid's experience vaults are full of datura horror stories. most involve a trip to the hospital.

 

There is a lot of valuable information to be found in this thread, it was well worth-while reading this whole thread. I feel that my knowledge of psychedelic substances has greatly increased, although there are a lot of drugs listed here that I am unfamiliar with, some of the information in here is worth a sticky.
