It’s Herbology Time!
I only have one question. How many know what Coyotillo is!?
It’s not native around here. It is in Texas and Mexico.
It is a slow and painful k*ll*r. It takes on average for 7 to 20 days for effects to even start. It slowly causes paralysis to a full paralysis, if not d*ath beforehand. They can just treat symptoms and the patient hopefully rides it out.
Fair warning, use this knowledge wisely. They always test. I just love my plants.
My absolute favorite deadly plant, though, is Water Hemlock.
General Hemlock is what Socrates used to off himself dramatically. That takes 45-60 minutes on average. He knew about Water Hemlock, though, only taking on average from 15-20 minutes. You’ll be lucky to not drop after 7-8 minutes in into seizures with Water Hemlock.
Once again, they test body chemistry in autopsies. .
Socrates wanted to make sure to put on a small show. All philosophers have a tendency of being dramatic. I should know.
One more fun fact! But there are TONS more.
This one goes out to Viking Era Scandinavia!
A lot of the Vikings used carefully made mixtures that had Henbane in them. Keep that “carefully” word in mind.
Know what you are doing at the level of this post is at. .
Henbane is easily deadly. . BUT at the right preparation and dosages, it causes a special delirium. Not just the trances but a fierce anger and strong pain reliving effects through the right mixture of alkaloids.
We all know my favorite herb is lavender, though. The leaves of most Lavender plants can easily be used to put you in a slight sedative but euphoric state. English lavender plants are the go to for most people.
This is but only the surface of the knowledge I have that makes me me.
The more you know! 🌈
