Interesting about the seeds - reminds me of my brother who as a young teenager was told that the nutmeg nut possessed the same hallucinogenic qualities, so he grated it and snorted it. All he got for his trouble was a sore sinus.<BR/><BR/>Icy - maybe your daddy Dusty got into that ginsing - as it is not only shaped like a man, but is supposed to increase libido as well... :-D<BR/><BR/>Lord G of B...

Do they have any vines like these up north where you live?<BR/><BR/>Actonbell - we should ALL go hiking more often - it is fun and healthy and so much more fun than sitting in traffic. I neglected to mention that as I was "hiking" I was actually trying to exercise by walking up an extremely steep hill when I saw the manroot... I was nearly dead at the time from exertion and needed a break.tsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500763.post-86976300958754983912007-04-28T08:11:00.000-07:002007-04-28T08:11:00.000-07:00Annie Rhiannon - delighted to see you here.

There are many great things to see outside of the city.<BR/><BR/>Jillie - I remember the pretty picture you posted of the river or ice and ducks or something... I think it was you anyway. Growing up with places of earthy splendor to visit is something I never take for granted. More people should. They would be nicer I think.<BR/><BR/>oh - and when my pup Tobin was sprayed at 3 in the morning, my husband let him in unknowingly, and Tobin ran up the carpeted stairs, rubbing his eyes and thick skunky fur all over each one, and then jumping on the bed to complete the smell massacre. My boss's wife was a vet and she recommended some kind of neutralizer stuff which worked sort of. Our bed was ruined, and so were the stairs. Never thought to use your solution...

I recall a species of this plant from Oregon, which we called "wild cucumber", and I remember other folks referred to it as "old man root". The coastal indigenous groups used it (the seeds rather) as a medicinal hallucinogen, I was told. <BR/><BR/>How wonderful to have such a cool plants growing wild by your dog run!

I to grew up next to a woods and a river and use to just walk endlessly and make my own hideaways amongst the tree and just watch mother nature at work. Nobody ever knew where I was. I even use to bring my barbie dolls up there and just play. Those were such great innocent times.<BR/><BR/>I had to LOL at your comment you left for Toby....it's the Vet that actually recommended for our dog we had prior to our crew now.
