The Demon Fruit.

Researchers in Canada have identified forty three prescription drugs which react with grapefruit in such a way that the patient can receive a potentially dangerous overdose. The news report in which I read this was headlined:

The Hidden Dangers of Grapefruit

How astute of the media to identify and shame the true villain of the piece.

I know. They'll be carrying government health warnings next, and it will be illegal to sell them to anybody under 18.

You know, if you eat enough nutmeg you'll get a good high that many people have compared to having an out of body experience. Complete with hallucinations. After a bit of violent vomiting, though. I'd rather not take that trip.

Me too. I always hated being sick.

Hilarious!!! Morning Glory seeds send you somewhat too. Apparently the garden centre near to my old place in Edinburgh sold out over and over. Finally they twigged why all these young miscreants had taken a fancy to gardening.

I wish you'd told me that yesterday. I had a walk around my local garden centre this morning, asking the pretty blonde assistant questions like 'Do you sell essential oils?' 'Do you sell arty appointment calendars?' and 'What's a nice girl like you doing in a dump like this?' Had I known about Morning Glory seeds, I might have made an impression.
