Kids, this is why you should just bite the bullet and fork out the necessary cash for some quality bud instead of cheaping out and making tea from some plant you found growing in your backyard.
A Good Poop
A blog about strange and wonderful medical science publications. It's not as boring as it sounds. Honestly.
Profile
A Good Poop is thrown together by a guy named Chris. Chris is working on his Master's degree at the University of Toronto. You can reach him at agoodpoop@gmail.com.
The dude who designed the banner would like you to check this out.

It sounds like this plant should be nipped in the bud early with a little help from the media.

Omni Brain had that one covered (so to speak) in December: http://scienceblogs.com/omnibrain/2007/12/man_severs_own_penis.php
Angel's Trumpet is a flower that contains scopolamine and other alkaloids. It's known as a "biogenic drug" and presumed by naive recreational drug users to be harmless because it's a plant. However, it can cause psychosis, delirium, visual hallucinations, agitation, incoherence, aggressive behaviour, memory problems and "convulsive sobbing" as well as somatic symptoms and well, things like this incident.

Oh no! Sorry, Omni Brain bloggers!

'Tis a good thing for non omni brain-readers. The post that is, not the self-mutilation, psychosis, delirium etc.

No worries, Chris, this case has cropped up in the media now and then for years. I thought I had a fresh topic, too, I wrote before I Googled thoroughly. I spent more time looking for a good picture (oh, and catch the URL on the photo at Omni Brain, that was even better...).
But anyway, our reports are written independently so it doesn't matter who came first. We both have taste, is all. :)
