Sacred Weeds

[chewupablotter]

Sacred Weeds was a four part television series of 50 minute documentaries investigating
the cultural impact of psychoactive plants on a broad array of early civilizations.

Each one of the four episodes covers a different plant/mushroom . The host brings together
3 'professionals' and 2 people to test it on. The 2 volunteers agreed to being filmed and or
tested whilst under the influence of the 'drugs'

You can really tell the people who are uptight squares which volunteer compared to the ones
who have tried it before and like it or know what to expect. Especially the couple who agree
to eat the Blue Lilly, thought to have been used in Egyptian times for its psychoactive properties,
it was considered a Sacred plant



Its really interesting, and quite funny/cheesy in parts but they are all worth watching

I have already seen these and I can remember the Blue Waterlily episode made me wanna try it too. But no matter how hard I tried I could never get any effect whatsoever from that plant. Maybe my plant material was bad (although I ordered it at least twice from different sources) or the couple in the video are just pretending to feel something that there isn't.

I can also remember the one guy trying henbane (a nightshade) who said he had tried it before - he seemed pretty out of this world sometimes in the interview. Maybe a little stuck in his previous experiences, I think...

Cool series though, thanks for posting it, I think I'm gonna watch it again.

Same experience for blue lily, I don't know why, but it seems like HTP, just a mild sort of effect.
