The post was supposed to read “there is a drink they make in alaska...”
I haven’t had the drink. But have had some mushrooms before back in my idiot years (20’s and 30’s)- They are wild on their own but I think thouhg the drink would be quote potent.
Never tried those, but there was a guy on my dorm floor (freshman year) who was trying to grow ‘shrooms in his room. Lot of characters, mostly other freshmen. I hung out with some real brainiacs, also some psychopaths. :^)
The mushroom farmer left a note on the dry erase board (many people had those) on the door of our resident ass’t, asking him for help with his ‘shroom efforts.
Anyway, the farmer didn’t complete that year, dropped out. No idea why. ;^) And I thought my grades were bad.
I’d imagine this Andean plant still gets smoked.
