just tried ipecac

two questions:

why did hedgeclipper take ipecac?

and how do they "harvest" the beaver ass juice?

 

Have you seen Mike Rowe on the Dirty Jobs episode where he expresses the dogs anal gland?

 

I have seen how they harvest it on tv as well. Don't worry, they kill the beaver first

 

to clarify: I took something I shouldn't have taken in conjunction with a pharmeceutical that I had taken earlier that day (but forgotten about). When I realized it, I called mny pharmacist and he told me that I should take ipecac right away or I was at risk of hypertensive crisis. So I took half a tbsp, which made me nauseous, but not enough to make me vomit, so I stuck a toothbursh down my throat and got most of the stuff out of my stomach. My mouth tasted like drugs and my fever went down so I figured it was chill. I seem to be ok.


And I imagine its made of fat of the beaver ass, but you can never be sure.

 

so I'm thoroughly grossed out. I've never heard of castoreum before.

Does anyone know how exactly it's extracted? Is the beaver harmed?..

 

From Wikipedia:

Which they apparently provide to the food companies. 2.6 million pounds of it are consumed every year for vanilla flavoring. Basically anytime you see "natural flavoring," it's almost always beaver ass juice that was harvested from glands that were chopped off of their body.

Here's how they do it:

Yes, it comes from dead beavers. But since they make dams and cause a lot of damage in nature they are killed anyway. Not in the first place for that castroreum as I understood it.

 

Yeah, but they get an extra $40 for it, so it's kind of more motivation to do the kill. I'd say they have the right to "cause damage" considering we've overtaken nearly all of their natural habitats.

 

fuck dude be more careful!! what is going on with you??? you have peyote button in your sig.. why you fool around with junk?
It was a good idea to keep some ipecac around!!
don't take nasty shit!!

you got some problems, you wanna chat you can send me message anytime.


hmm... beaver anal gland juice!! yummy!!! (Homer Simpson droolin)

 

Well, when they cut water streams off it is not only us that they can cause damage to. I find them rather humanlike :mickey: But I'm sure there are more than enough hunters that shoot them for fun and their butt juice until the point of extinction... Once upon a time their fur was the most worth, so that maybe also still pays about 40 dollars. I'm just guessing about that but it shows it is just a profitable animal to kill.

 

I didn't take anything particularly nasty. I just took two things that one should not take together. Neither of them are dangerous drugs, but I was on Selegiline yesterday, so there are a lot of drugs I can't take along with it (including mescaline. If you took peyote on selegiline you would also have a hypertensive crisis or seretonin syndrome). Somehow it just slipped my mind that I had taken selegeline that morning -- fortunately I remembered early enough to induce vomiting.

 

Glad you are ok and that nothing terrible happened.

 

I remember one time when I was a kid, I ate almost a half pound of jelly beans and washed it down with sprite. When I finally got sick and threw up, it looked like rainbow streamers in the toilet bowl

 

yuck!

 

Tasted better coming up than hotdogs and pizza on the second round!

 

Agreed. I don't understand druggies anymore... especially when they seem to otherwise be somewhat intelligent.

 

And I really don't understand people who are down to keep pushing stigmatic mentalities.

"druggies", like the word "Drug" itself are a pretty ridiculous blanket statement. The actions of the millions of different chemicals we know to affect the mind are so different and varied that you can't refer to them all with the same blanket word. How can you compare LSD and heroin? Or a tranquilizer to a stimulant? Or an herb to a heavily modeified synthetic compound? None of those are comparble and yet we can use the same word to refer to all of them and the same word to refer to people who take any of them.

If you want to really try the good shit, I've got a couple tablespoons of ipecac left.

 

our world is so fucked up. who in the hell ever thought to harvest the oil glands and castors from a beaver and then use it to flavor like 40% of all processed foods?!

 

im a "druggie" too tho..

I dont care what he takes as long as he`s doin fine.

be safe.

 

The three threads that I happen to read over the past day in RT thoughts all made me want to puke.

I think my kid has a bug and she woke up at 1am this morning and puked...
her puking triggered me to puke....
now I'm having trouble falling asleep
