A friend told me that you could make a LSD substitute with an orange and juicy fruit, i wont post how to do it because i don’t wanna get anybody killed, but i was just wondering whether or not he’s full of it… part of the instructions are to let the “product” sit in the fridge for 30 days so i’m thinking some type of mold gets to it that will cause lsd type reactions… just curious, any comments?
Sounds like an Urban Legend to me. There’s nothing in Juicy-Fruit that could conceivably produce halucinogenic(sp?) materials; the stuff is all plastic and artificial flavors. As far as oranges, go, this is all I could find on snopes:
The electric kool-aid acid test - Tom Wolfe, Bantam Books, 1968
Or did I recall the wrong title?
No offense, but your friend sounds like the sort of idiot who’d smoke pine needles wrapped in a dolalr bill because someone told him it’d give a wicked buzz.
If you decide to eat a rotting orange or drink a glass of Juicy Juice that’s been sitting behind the hot water heater for a few weeks, the best you can hope for is getting drunk due to fermentation. More likely, you’ll just get pretty sick.
From what I recall from my wild and carefree college days, people would take megadoses of vitamin C in order to prolong the effects of LSD. A quick internet search says that vitamin C actually softens the effects of LSD and helps to avoid a bad trip which proves that my roommate only half knew what he was talking about. In either event, I don’t think an orange contains enough vitamin C to make any difference and you still need to get some acid, not eat the orange in lieu of it. I guess people just don’t know much about drugs these days.
Eat your oranges anyway. They’re full of good stuff for you and they’re yummy. Just eat them fresh.
Oops… I read Juice Fruit (the gum) as Juicy Juice (the juice). I still maintain that you’re friend needs to get out more and stop reading the Anarchist’s Cookbook.
It is my understanding…not from personal experience…that the branches from a certain type of plant found in Hawaii (and elsewhere) will produce an LSD-like hallucenogenic reaction if soaked for a month in a sealed bottle of vodka or some other potable alcohol. I knew someone who was actually making a batch of this stuff with rum, but I decided I didn’t need any more ‘funny’ friends, so I don’t know the result, but I have other friends that say they have tried it and it compares favorably with LSD (which is still popular here).
When I lived in Micronesia, the locals made what they called a heroin substitute from some part of a banana palm. Sadly, I didn’t get the recipe so I can’t pass it on.
Tell you what, though. Go to your local coffee restaurant like Starbucks, order 20 oz. of the strongest brew they have and put 16 or 18 bags of sugar in it. Maybe eat a couple of glazed donuts with it.
Geeze! Just reading Oranges and Juicy Fruit in the subject line gave me the same feeling as fingernails on a black board. yuck
Troll’n troll’n troll’n keep those messages troll’n.
Seriously though you’ve got to mix the final ergot concoction (make sure the orange mold is purple green not yellow green or you could die!) with asprin (Bayer only! It’s “buffered” if you know what I mean!) and coke (beverage type) and filter through a paper towel for maximum effect.
It’s the colors man.
No man it’s… the media, the media.
And to spread more rumors…
Seems like I remember something about the seeds of some flower (Morning Glory ?) having the same effects as LSD.
Juicy Fruit was a common media used for ingesting acid during the great late 60’s early 70’s period.
your friend has probably heard a weird rumor that has been exaggerated during the past twenty years.
one can however make a great number of different hallucinogens out of common materials
do a search on tryptamines I have a great faq but forget where I put it.
Morning glory (Ipomoea dioecia) is not just an urban legend. It really does cause a psychedelic trip. Also nauseates the hell out of your stomach, if you ingest the large quantity required to trip.
As for the nororious Anarchist Cookbook, Jim Keith published revelations that the whole thing was disinformation invented by The Man in hopes that countercultural types would kill themselves off if they were foolish enough to believe it. “Kids, don’t try this at home!”
