Bejeeber Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks Ricardo - interesting about the Aztec connection, and the references to stuff like it's use as a topical "benumbing" agent. Benumbing. Benumbing. Also weird to see talk of a dose in the range of 13 seeds inducing hallucinations..??!! Were those seeds back in the good 'ol days more potent due to soil and/or climate conditions or other factors, or is the reporting just skewed and inaccurate? This I ponder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I ponder. I just read that the recipe often used changes the molecule. I don't have a link handy, but that could explain the 13-seeds explanation.
