I was told by a PHD psychologist many years ago that rhubarb has significant mind-altering qualities; the stem of the plant, near the root. Never tried it. Many plants labeled "toxic" are psychedelic. Some are also very toxic as well, such as datura, and not fit substances for uninformed experimentation.

Is this for real or somebody having >fun? The tomato and potato are nightshades (as in "deadly nightshade") and the leaves and stems vary from somewhat to very poisonous to people. I might add that peppers and tobacco are also in the same group (with tobacco having the mildest poison). According to my grandma, rhubarb leaves are also supposedly somewhat poisonous, and only young rhubarb stems are used as food (I don't know what family it's in). Onion surprises me. I wonder what part is poisonous and at what time in it's life cycle. -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moines (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
