Regarding spelling snobbery, Lew is of course quite correct. Regarding the header, let me say, so as to put the matter finally and completely to rest, that I have never, nor do I now, extract teas mimicking cannabis.

Hope this helps. Michael

That was "other intake methds." Very sorry. M

It made sense to me ... Mr. Dasara seemed to be taking the attitude "sheesh, you don't know what 'ganga' is? You could Google it, you know" -- when Google would *not* return anything relevant to marijuana on that spelling. Similarly, a Google search on "bang" will not return the same results as a search on "bhang."

Intentionally or not, I think you showed him up perfectly.

I knew that you weren't; those who do need to get a life.

I attended college and graduate school for 1964 to 71, and hash brownies were quite popular back then. Indeed, you are correct - ingesting ganja produces a delayed high, sometimes the delay could be eight hours. As for Bhang - I never knew anyone who drank it in the States or Europe - too exotic, perhaps. I did, however hear of it in Katmandu, but never knew of anyone who tried it: back then, hashish was legal, and a ball of it was 35 cents...

How does that illegalise banana peels?

The oil in patches All over atlantis, atlantis You remember atlantis Donovan, the guy with the brocade coat Used to sing to you about atlantis You loved it, you were so involved then Thats back in the days when you used to Smoke a banana You would scrape the stuff off the middle You would bake it You would smoke it You even thought you was getting ripped from it No problem

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Back in the sixties, there was a rumor going around about how bananas contain "banadine" which will get you high. I think _Steal This Book_ has some details on how to dry and smoke banana peels.

That rumour is still around, but since the banana peel isn't actually a drug nor similar to a drug I can't see how it would be illegalised by the analog drug act.

/Mårten

Because if you look at the wording of the law, you can claim that _anything_ is structurally similar to _some_ drug.

Electrical banana, it's going to be a certain craze. Electrical banana, it's bound to the be the very next phase. They call it mellow yellow...

So pretty much everything is illegal?

/Mårten

You're under arrest.

/Lew

Right. This is the New American Way.
