Kind of a douche bag author of this article butttttttttt, http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2389/will-smoking-banana-peels-get-you-high
I can't believe this shit's still going around, after all this time. I tried smoking bananas just before I turned on to pot, back in '67. We would scrape the inside of the peel, and cook it on a cookie sheet in the oven, until it turned brown and dried out. When we smoked it, it did absolutely nothing. I'm so glad I soon turned to smoking pot. My mom and dad weren't as thrilled with the transition.
you aint gonna like it, its bitter on the tongue.. Burns at a very high degree. It will get you lightheaded at most.. you smoke the entire peel, not the scrapings.. Allow whole peel to dry and turn black and brittle, smoke in Pipe.. It makes a good for adding to other smudging herbs, cause it has high amount of amber that stay glowing, keeps smudge bowl going with less blowing..
That's funneh. Your squirrely sig pic is my wife's desktop wallpaper. Something going on here that I should know about? "E-lec-trical banana Is gonna be a sudden craze. E-lec-trical banana Is bound to be the very next phase." I like Donovan,,but sheesh,,
its more a hoax, but it can be smoked.. might be a tad enjoyable to some. smells kinda neat. I haven't burned a peel in @ least 20yrs, smudging or otherwise..
LOL I have heard of this too, like, the answer to the folks who are even more psychologically needy than me LOLOL! A girl i used to work at said she and her man tried it and the taste of smoking it was soooo bad that it wasn't worth it, they just waited the few days out until they could get more pot! Neither of them said they would withstand it enough to even hold in the smoke enough to even test if it could get you high! So this is interesting this came up! I've never tried it personally, even the best banana, in normal oral edible form, the small alone makes me nauseaus lol! I'm a nectarine girl!:2thumbsup:
This comes from old editions of the anarchists cookbook! It also included directions on how to get high off of peanut shells. It was all for entertainment but as it turns out was taken quite seriously. The only "high" youll get is from smoke inhalation that causes o2 depravation.
A few friends of mine and myself. We would use every smudging herb there was in a Tepee,tent,closed room, see who would last longest inside tent filled with smoke.... Of course I used to cheat by tossing firework powder into smudge bowl, and others would leave. You get oxygen deprivation big time..
