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.

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....

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)
