I believe he was informed by his superiors that he needed to get a grip and quit arresting little old ladies. They just told her that she needed to pull it out of the garden. She was over 80, and had lived in that house for almost 60 years. She'd been buying mixed bags of seeds from catalogs for almost that long, and letting anything she liked go to seed for next year. God only knows what all she had in that garden. If she had found a patch of ditch weed and thought it was pretty she'd have found a spot for it somewhere.FirePhrasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461093040715853173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-85674303222850229672009-04-07T16:04:00.000-04:002009-04-07T16:04:00.000-04:00Thanks for the 411, Bruce.Fire - so hw did your gr...Thanks for the 411, Bruce.<BR/><BR/>Fire - so hw did your great-greataunt make out? Hope she did not serve any actual prison time! Really, those laws are so draconian for her to ge anything out of those poppies worth using she'd have to grow large fields of it.

The long-term effects of Salvia have not been studied. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Many countries have banned the use of Salvia: Australia, Denmark, Japan, and some states in the USA, just to name a few. Germany for one, only allows selling controlled concentrations of Salvia for medicinal purposes. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The bottom line is that Salvia is a powerful herb. It will cause hallucinations and these hallucinations are as individual as the people who use the plant. There is still much controversy and research needed around the effects of recreational and medicinal Salvia usage. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Want some sage advice? Boost your wisdom quotient by liberally adding sage to your favorite soups, stews and casserole recipes. Research published in the June 2003 issue of Pharmacological Biochemical Behavior confirms what herbalists have long known: sage is an outstanding memory enhancer. In this placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study, two trials were conducted using a total of 45 young adult volunteers. Participants were given either placebo or a standardized essential oil extract of sage in doses ranging from 50 to 150 microls. Cognitive tests were then conducted 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 hours afterwards. In both trials, even the 50 microl dose of sage significantly improved subjects' immediate recall. Professor Peter Houghton from King's College provided data showing that the dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, also known as Danshen or Chinese sage, contains active compounds similar to those developed into modern drugs used to treat Alzheimer's Disease. Sage has been used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease for over one thousand years. Four compounds isolated from an extract from the root of Chinese sage were found to be acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors.<BR/><BR/>======================================<BR/><BR/>JOSE<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.drug-intervention.com/washington-drug-intervention.html" REL="nofollow">Drug Intervention Washington</A>brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624437793914228496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-5621882130589417102009-04-07T11:08:00.000-04:002009-04-07T11:08:00.000-04:00My great-great aunt was arrested for growing opium...My great-great aunt was arrested for growing opium poppies back in the late 70s. Of course the cop's plant ID was actually correct. They really were opium poppies. She got them from one of her seed catalogs and thought they were pretty. Grew them every year. Personal use but not <I>personal use</I>. Her big narco bust made the news. Playboy even picked it up. My grandma nearly died that her aunt was in Playboy.FirePhrasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461093040715853173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-62987949272174386002009-04-06T19:05:00.000-04:002009-04-06T19:05:00.000-04:00So GUESS WHAT pops up in my Google Adwords (top pf...So GUESS WHAT pops up in my Google Adwords (top pf the blog_ just now - >> Fresh Sally-D ivinorum<BR/>Standardized Extracts 5X-50X 25% Off Sale With Code: best << Well, it is LEGAL - for now.

They know the "good stuff." <BR/><BR/>It is the politicians, general press, and police I worry about. Their plant ID skills have always been - ahem - very lacking.
