I've decided to put this post in Ecstasy Discussion, because raw sassafras is a common ancestor of all the drugs in the ecstasy family, and I'll venture a guess that people in this forum are the most likely of BLers to be familiar with it. Moderators, if you think it would get more intelligent replies in a different forum, feel free to move it. But I humbly beseech you not to move it purely on principle into a forum where it'll go ignored.
Has anybody here ever drank sassafras tea, otherwise known as saloop, or any other preparation of sassafras root? What noticeable effects in the mind and body does it produce? How long did they last? Would you recommend it? Do its effects in any way resemble those of other drugs? Which?
Despite this beverage being banned only fairly recently in Western countries, I can't locate any trip reports on Erowid or The Lycaeum for sassafras. All the webpages I've been able to locate have said nothing about its subjective effects, and only warn that it's a toxin and carcinogen that should never be taken internally.
But it WAS taken internally by MANY people, up until recent times! I have a hard time believing that if I picked some sassafras saplings and brewed tea from the roots, that I'd keel over. Yet some of the medical references I've read warn me that I just might! So what's the real deal? If I decide to do exactly what I just said, should I be very careful how much I consume? Brief me on this shit -- I'm intrigued.
