    Unripe mulberries are halucinogenous? https://www.erowid.org/herbs/mulberry/mulberry_info2.shtml tl;dr - “White Mulberry - All parts of white mulberry, except for the ripe fruit, contain a milky sap (latex) that is toxic to humans. Although humans may consume ripe mulberry fruit, ingestion of unripe fruit can result in stomach upset, stimulation of the nervous system and hallucinations.”

    Umm, not so fond of psychedelic states as to consume latex sap. I’ll pass, thanks.

      In case anyone wants to try this or any other “natural” drug. The most important fact is to check how far apart is the dose (a.k.a. LD50) that has the desires effect from the dose that’s going to kill you. Most of the recreative drugs have a nice gap in between.

      Back from where I come from some teens would prepare an hallcinogenic tea with flowers from Datura plants. Some deaths were reported from time to time…

      Of course, this is not considering other risks (health issues aside from death itself, or psychological dependance.)

      So… Keep it simple. It’s better to trust your dealer’s products. Omg, wtf is my advise right now…?? Well, I guess “better” is the keyword here.

      What does it mean by fruit? The entries thing or just the fleshy parts excluding the core?

        Hmm, yeah, what does it mean? Also, don’t give yourself a tummy ache with green mulberries, based on some possibly spurious quotation from some ancient website entry. Ripe mulberries are so much better than that.
