Banana

[Rymmen]

I've heard about it... and recently read a nice little post on another forum while stumbling on it? Is there such a thing such as bananadine?

 

[VerusDeus]

Is this the smoking-banana-peels myth you are referring too?

none of it is true.

Dude, seriously?

 

[Rymmen]

No, seriously. This one post raised a question for me.

LOL it's still a hoax guys :lol:

The closest bananas can get to psychedelic drugs is decarboxylation of tryptophan and phenylalanine (by smoking), resulting in INACTIVE tryptamine and phenethylamine. And I doubt these reaction occur very smoothly....

Bananas raise the serotonine level in your brains.
Serotonine makes you feel happy and makes you sleep good.

 

[Rymmen]

I guess so. I still wish someone would try this method. Maybe I'll try it just to settle any doubt I have sometime.

 

[Forkbender]

This is so fake. Come on: dry the banana peels, make them shrink and attach them to your forehead?!?!?!? WTF!?

I'd does give a nice taste though, I think I'll head over to the store to buy some bananas again.... :roll:

The original story came from the 60s . Its was said to be the strings that hang off the inside of the peel whan you peel them that one could smoke and get a trip . It was proved to be untrue then . It a perfect example of the web shit that people are still pushing and confusing others with . Bananas and chocolate are suposed to contain seretonin , but not in enough quantitys to have any noticable effect . You would have to eat kilos to get an effect wich would be ruined by having to spend hours being sick while sitting on the toilet .

The psychedelic chemical was suposed to be called "Musa Sapientum bananadine" and to make it one was supposed to have to take the strings from 15 pounds , = about 7 kilos , and boil them in water for 3 - 4 hours . Then take that mush and spread it on a coockie sheet and dry it in an oven for 20 mins. to half an hour . This results in about 1 pound , = about 453 gramms , of black powder . To get an effect one was supposed to have to smoke 3 - 4 joints of it .

= its all total bananas !!!

there is a hit in lettuce though. the wild kind, not iceburgh.

 

[GOD]

I first saw lettuce "opium" in a headshop in the portobello road in London in 1972/3 . I bought it and tried it ....... once and never again . The same with damiana . I also tried the "opium" from california poppys and it was the same .

I cant think of anything that is legal that actualy does anything nice , or is worth taking .

 

[druglessdouglas]

most legal things make you itch in my opinion. im a fan of ephedrine ( i dont get much from speed for some reason, aversion therapy i think) but dont take it more than a couple times a year, its my theory (here we go) that soma was ephedra. someone took back some from afghanistan where they call it sauma or sooma. could be coincidence

 

[GOD]

"most legal things make you itch in my opinion"

Yup , me three . Thats why i hate the feeling of Ephedrin ants walking over my skin .

I dont think that Soma was Ephedrin because the description of what Soma did doesnt fit with the effects of Ephedrin . I think it was an Ayahuasca analog . I wrote an explanation about why i came to that conclusion . If i remember where it is here i will let you know .

Yeah well, ephedrine is quite nice - as a remedy for cold and if you are really tired and need to be on beat. But that's about it...
Ephedrine as a recreational drug is shit because it activates your fight-or-flight response. With speed (=amphetamines) I get a boost in social skills and bonding, with ephedrine it's just about the different for me (or at least no difference to normal)

About the banana thing, watch this:

and you'll see that even in the 60ies they were already making fun of it (or was this were the myth started? I don't know...)

true, i have been arrested on ephedrine, im not a very good runner so i dont try. i cant take speed anymore and enjoy it. it doesnt make me talkative or social just clamps my jaw shut and makes me iritable so i dont bother. ephedra i only take when ive some miles to cover and used all reserves

 

[botanicalguides]

let's put it this way, if it was true, everyone would know. it would be no secret lol and banannas would probably be illegal.
