Yes, it's beautiful but highly toxic. Along these same lines, I refuse to
have an oleander in my yard. Again, they are gorgeous when in bloom, but
they are so toxic that any part of the plant can kill. There are other
beautiful plants that are not so dangerous -- so I just enjoy plants like
this "at a distance." I do not want to take *any* chances that I could be
the cause of sickness or even death (two-legged or four-legged).

Yikes. I had not heard about this one.

This is why the gov't should distribute free marijuana in public
schools. It would eliminate the need for kids to brew poisonous tea
in an effort to get high.

Other legal trips:

Salvia divinorum -- a mexican plant that can be smoked like pot, it
causes terrifying, full-blown hallucinations and is seldom used more
than once.

Morning glory seeds -- first you puke, then you puke some more. After
a couple of hours you get light-headed like the first stages of an
acid trip. Then you get a headache and feel lethargic for a day or
two.

Nutmeg -- smoked or eaten, it delivers a buzz not too unlike that of
marijuana, for about half an hour. Then a splitting headache sets in
and lasts for about 6 hours.

Dextromethorphan -- enthusiasts take about 12 times the dose on the
label and experience a toxic delirium that involves disorientation and
impaired vision.

You brought back another memory. I must have been about five years old
--maybe seven - my Dad had two oleander plants planted in half barrels and
placed in our back yard. My Mother warned me NEVER to smell the flowers
because they were poison. So doing what kids do, I smelled the flowers.
Nothing happened but they got rid of the plants. Thanks for the memory.

I'm a utilitarian, Matthew. Someone has to bear the cost of fancy
medical care, and it damn sure isn't the tea-quaffing pinheads who end
up needing it. The MDs are fitting that kid out for a pacemaker while
some old grannie waits at the back of the line. I ask you as a fellow
citizen, is that justice???

See the film "White Oleander." It's great.
