    Anybody still remember the rumor that smoking banana peal will get you high? It won't. But I still sometimes wonder about it.

    Who started that rumor? And where? And why on earth would someone think smoking something from the supermarket will get you high? And has anyone here ever tried it?

    Yeah, I noticed my misspelling after the fact. But by then it was too late. Oh, well. I don't think that rises to the level of having my title edited. Does it?

    ^ no, titles are only edited if doing so will completely change the meaning of the thread for no apparent reason.

    I remember kids talking about that when we were in high school. I don't know anyone who's tried it though.

    All I can tell you for sure is that smoking parsley won't do anything for you. A high school buddy's older brother sold us a bag when I was 15, the bastard.

    I've heard this urban legend before. Brought to you by the same people who say it gets you higher when you smoke weed off of a pipe made from a beer can because you're smoking the paint from the can as well

    I got sold two bags of ragweed in HS, a friend of mine offered to dump it on his head in the hallway, I said no. I think it made him mad that I said no, just didn't to attract undue attention. He got shitty with him anyway, and I got my money back.

    It started with some rock group out West, I forget who. It was a big band...I'll think of who it was eventually.


    I found some of it....it was Country Joe and the Fish

    I found it.
    Listen to the explanation and you will understand how it works.

    I heard the same thing about peanuts. Not the shells, mind you, but the dark brown waxy skin around the actual nut on the inside of the shell.

    d'ye ken John Peel?

    John Peel was also an English Disc jockey in the 1960s - perhaps even after that

    Not sure if he worked in pirate radio.

    Pirate radio stations were based on decrepit old ships just outside the 12-mile iimit - leaving Uk authorities singularly unable to untwist their knickers.

    The BBC at the time played no rock and roll and was rigidly square and totally ut of the picture.
