I'm the guy the record scratches a party by declaring, "all the best drugs are insecticides." Caffeine, THC, and nicotine...

You can kill insects with weed?

[–] Bach37strad@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah. They just get stoned and fall asleep.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago

Hope they don't wake up with the munchies

That's not a very nice way to talk about your little brother like that.

I thought insects do not have an endocannabinoid system like most other animals?

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

That's what I thought. Bees can collect pollen and make honey from cannabis too

Heart medications are made from them so it's not all bad, but don't sniff them.

Poison garden at Alnwick Castle?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes. And they do have foxglove.

People freak out when you point out their yew bush is super poisonous.
Like, I'm the bad guy for knowing that it only takes like 50 grams of leaves to kill a person and their is no antidote.

You and I would be good friends

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago

Maybe you can share commute on the broom to the next witches' sabbath.

Here in Central California, we're lousy with Morning Glories and Hemlock. Once you learn to recognize hemlock, you see it everywhere.

Castor grows everywhere around me. I should grind up some beans and do a line of it like it's coke.

There was this blog that I followed, but they stopped posting in 2020.

Is that Tansy in the background?

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Buddy, if they won't talk to you after you mentioned your toxic tulips, fear is not the reason.
