Smoking banana peels: the myth (book excerpt)
    #9860741 -

Ok, so im reading this book called:

"Confessions of a raving unconfined nut - misadventures in counterculture." - Paul Krassner

"The office of the east village other was across the street from "the realist." I dropped by one time when the ediotrs- walter bowart, alan katzman and dean latimer - were discussing a book, Morning of the Magaicians. They were intrigued to learn that LSD released serotonin in the brain and wondered if it could be found in nonchemical substances. Mistaking serotin, which is found in bananas, for serotonin, they inadvertently launched the great banana hoax. The berkeley barb picked up the story, and the mainstream wire services spread it around the country.

It quickly bec ame public knowledge that you could get legally high from smoking dried banana skins. In San Fransisco, there was a banana smoke in, and one entrepreneur started a successful banana powder mail order business, chargeing 5 dollars an ounce. Agents frm the bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs headed for their own laboratory, faithfully cooking, scraping and grinding thirty pounds of bananas according to the recipe in the underground press. For three weeks the FDA utilized apparatus which "smoked" the dried banana peels.

The LA FREE PRESS in turn promoted yet another hallucinogenic - pickled jalapeno peppers, anally inserted. All over southern california, heads were sticking vegetables up their asses. And, at a benefit for the diggers, i mentioned on stage that the next big drugs would be FDA. Sure enough, time magazine reported that there would be "a super hallucinogen called FDA" silly me, i thought i had made that up."

Anyways, for anyone into stuff about the 60's counter culture, this is a must read. Featuring lenny bruce, grucho marx, tim leary, ram das, etc. In the first 4 chapters!

A humourous look into what it was like in the 60's, especially as the author outgrows his repression and comes into himself with psychedelics during "the summer of love."

oh well, i thought that was interesting + felt it necessary to share with ya'll.

Enjoy.
