    I once read somewhere it's most effective when used as a suppository.

    Ah erowid...I've been on that site plenty of times. For some reason I like reading about other peoples addictions, anyway I have a weird story for you. When I was down in Costa Rica at the orchid garden in Monte Verde, the kid that owned it was a big stoner (not that I have a problem with that) and as he was giving us the 30,000 species talk he mentioned something about one orchid being hallucinogenic, then as quick as he mentioned it, he said "But I can't tell you which one" I always thought it was a pleurothallid but hey who knows. My wife's mother has that plant at their house...maybe I'll eat some of it the next time I go down there and report back.

    Oh, one more thing, supposedly on the 5,000 colones bill there is a picture of "the flower of the gods" which is supposedly the hallucinogenic orchid...I'll post a picture
