Newsgroups: alt.drugs I once ate about 4 inches of fresh calamus root. It's a stimulant. It's a pretty good stimulant, in fact. I didn't notice any hallucinogenic effects, but perhaps I needed a larger quantity. In any case, it's one of the foulest tasting drugs I've ever consumed. ============================================================================= Newsgroups: alt.drugs I have been experimenting with calamus root, bought already cut to quarter smartie size and dried. I've tried making tea from it to no avail. Yesterday i gubbed half an ounce of the stuff. Nothing happened again. Allegedly, 10 inces of the root works to provide hallucinagenic effects.... ============================================================================= Newsgroups: alt.drugs I just wanted to warn everyone about this particular herb. I visited an herb store last night, and recognized the name "Calamus" on the shelf from the Legal Highs text. So, being the rash and inept fool that I am, I bought it, took it home and imbibed it as per the 20th Century Alchemist's directions. Bad move. I drank this *horribly* bitter brew at around 10 o'clock, and experienced little (if any) of the anticipated effects. However, to my chagrin, at around 3, I felt ill. And I barfed, barfed, barfed, and for a change of pace, I vomited. I had my girlfriend call the Poison Control Center to make sure that I wasn't going to die. We found that Calamus' effects, instead of euphoric, are a stomach irritant. So, I spent most of the night cradled around the Porcelain God. Lesson 1: reaffirmed "don't believe everything you read" Lesson 2: always check out what you buy, and make SURE that it's gonna do what it is supposed to. Lesson 3: if you're gonna poke around the psychotropic section of the Herb store, and try stuff, call Poison Control first to see if you should expect bad results. Lesson 4: there are other, much mellower substances to partake of than Calamus. (not to mention tastier)
