Number one, you are an idiot.

Number two:

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for someone to isolate the active ingredient and synthisize it.

You are ignorant as well. The active ingredients are known, mainly scopalamine and also atropine to a lesser extent. They differ markedly from indole based hallucinogens such as LSD or psilocin.

Ah yes, the venerable ad hominem. I wouldn't want a day to pass without having the minions of the empire gratuitously insult me.

Ya got me there. I was, in fact, ignorant of the chemical makeup of the active compounds in the plant. Did I claim in my post to be otherwise? Would that be the cause of your uncalled for insults? Thanks for enlightening me. Now that I have some useful names to look up, I can be further educated in the details of the issue at hand at my leisure.

Ignorance of a given subject is easily remedied. The fact that you are an ass is not.
