Balché - http://www.rngr.net/Publications/ttsm/Fold...03-15.1541/file

very interesting - bummer, it seems to need atleast double the percipitation we have here on the island.

http://www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Actives/rotenone.htm ( very elaborate on the active ingredient. ) Heh he - also used as an insecticide.

according to the article of the 1st link given.... yes ,.. unless I did not read properly!

Uhhh Indeed - it mentions that there is a toxic alkaloid ROTENONE (lol ROTTEN-ONE) - but does not attribute the hallucinogenic properties to rotenone - just says that it is there.

I'll have a look next week if no one else does in the meantime.

The problem with rotenone is that it is actually quite nasty for humans. Something to do with triggering early parkinsonism or somethign like that which involves dopamine.
