Timothy Leary originally considered using LSD to wean alcoholics off of booze.

They are apparently spelling that chemical wrong. I believe it should be spelled “daidzein,” and it is in soybeans as well.

I’ve read that it is potentially damaging, especially to men. Both it and genistein are implicated in thyroid and other concerns stemming from soy protein use.

It’s too bad it can’t be turned in to gas, but then the Green idiots would say it was endangered.

Interesting. I wonder if Kudzu is effective at curbing all addictions or just alcohol? Seems strange that it would only be effective against alcoloic addiction. I wonder why the article doesnt go any further? Maybe they can stop those free-needle programs and other money grabs that go to addicts. Oh wait, I’m starting to step on the toes of druggie leftist programs instead of just alcoholic Republicans. Surely “Nat Geo” isn’t political is it?

There wouldn’t be a leaf left if they found it could cure obesity! Kudzu - the NEW diet pill - you wont even care if you eat!

Done by the same folks I’m sure that did this Spiders on Drugs test. I dare you to watch this and still advocate the use of drugs.

Though kudzu extract is already available in health food stores, "it's not a good drug,"

Translation: It's not a good drug because the pharmaceutical industry doesn't make it.

I’ve worked in Mississippi, off and on, for about ten years now.
Usually drive down there twice a month.
Leaving again on Sunday.

I’m always amazed at how invasive that kudzu is.
I wonder which is worse, kudzu or bamboo?
