Any truth to this... anyone try it?

Taken from the Anarchist's Cookbook:

"Believe it or not, bananas do contain a small quantity of
_Musa Sapientum bananadine_, which is a mild, short-lasting
psychedelic. There are much easier ways of getting high, but
the great advantage to this method is that bananas are legal.

1) Obtain 15 lbs. of ripe yellow bananas.
2) Peel all 15 lbs. and eat the fruit. Save the peels.
3) With a sharp knife, scrape off the insides of the peels and
save the scraped material.
4) Put all of the scraped material in a large pot and add
water. Boil for three to four hours until it has attained a
solid paste consistency.
5) Spread this paste on cookie sheets, and dry in an over for
about 20 minutes to a half hour. This will result in a fine
black powder. Makes about one pound of bananadine powder.
Ususally one will feel the effects of bananadine after smoking
three or four cigarettes."

Also, this:

"Try this sometime when you are bored!

1) Take one pound of raw peanuts (not roasted!)

2) Shell them, saving the skins and discarding the shells.

3) Eat the nuts.

4) Grind up the skins and roll them into a cigarette, and smoke!

You'll have fun, believe me!"


Worth a try, I think, what do you think?

Tried them both when I was younger. :o

All myths.

"bananadine" is not a real chemical...

DAMN YOU ANARCHIST'S COOKBOOK!! Is this recipe for LSD for real?

Lets just say, the majority of the book is bullshit.

yes, most all of that book is bullshit. peace

sorry its bs

its bullshit but fun to read.

isnt the song "mellow yellow" supposed to be or somehow relate to smoking banana peels?

Of course Donovan would write a song about that... I love that song but never realized that... if it's true anyway.

Yer sadily a lot of it is bs, but it was written in the 50's

tsk... tsk... William Powell... how dare ye!

The smoke bombs from the cookbook are fun to make.

haha i remember reading some shit (might have been in that book) about putting your weed in a bag and putting drops of wine or alcohol on it, then burying it in your yard, and smoking it when it is all moldy, for "extra potency"

haha..fuckin hippies.

Yup it's bullshit. Thought I was the only one who got so fucked up I tried some of that shit. You make me feel better!
