Title: Will smoking banana peels get you high?
Post by: Gioware on August 20, 2013, 09:53 pm
Bananadine is a fictional psychoactive substance which is supposedly extracted from banana peels.

A hoax recipe for its "extraction" from banana peel was originally published in the Berkeley Barb in March 1967. It became more widely known when William Powell, believing it to be true, reproduced the method in The Anarchist Cookbook in 1970 under the name "Musa sapientum Bananadine" (referring to the banana's old binomial nomenclature).

The original hoax was designed to raise questions about the ethics of making psychoactive drugs illegal and prosecuting those who took them: "what if the common banana contained psychoactive properties, how would the government react?"

One book of one-liner joke comics, published in 1971, contained a comic in which a teen is secretly handing bunches of bananas to a zoo gorilla at night, uttering the line "Just throw the skins back, man!"

Researchers at New York University have found that banana peel contains no intoxicating chemicals, and that smoking it produces only a placebo effect. Over the years, there has been considerable speculation regarding the psychoactive properties of banana skins.

Donovan's hit single "Mellow Yellow" was released a few months prior to the Berkeley Barb article, and in the popular culture of the era, the song was assumed to be about smoking banana peels. Shortly after the "Berkeley Barb" and the song, bananadine was featured in the New York Times

So what you think? ever tried to smoke banana peels? :D :D :D :D

I tried when I was 14. They wouldn't burn properly because I couldn't dry them out right using my mother's oven... so I'll never know.

Never tried it. But once made tea with 4kg of poppy seeds and 3 lemons. Shared with a friend. Deadly.

nutmeg huh. Id heard rumors about that and banana peels but always just regarded them as urban legends. What does the nutmeg high feel like?

I did watch some friends try banana peels when I was a kid. They dried them using a common food dehydrator. It was a long time ago and honestly cant recall if they went for a trip or not. (I highly doubt they did) The whole thing still sounds kind of useless to me.

I did know about the chili one too. That interest was sparked after the simpsons episode where homer takes a crazy trip after eating a bunch of hot chilis.

I vaguely remember it all, but I do remember it being one hell of a STONER high similar to marijuana but not as euphoric.

It does work...it's a serious process though. That's why no one does it, you can process peanuts hulls too. That's also a pain in the ass.
