Thanks Viateur, My "research" days with peyote are long over, not to inspire a new flame war. I still seem to feel that I am much more lucid and emotionally stable than some of the other "contributors" to this forum on ORCHID CULTURE, and ORCHID PLANTS AND RELATED TOPICS. Perhaps we can have a seperate forum for ORCHID POLITICS and orchid related CAREERS AND EGOS.
The Stermitz article was not listed on PubMed, nor could I find it by Google Science. At any rate, befor the mid-90's most publications are not on-line. Looked up phenanthrene and it appears toxic. I'll save my dropped off Onc. cebolleta leaves until I know more. Now if you'll excuse me, I will go reflect over all this for a few moments with the help of a nice cup of tea of Salvia divinorum. www.sagewisdom.org BWM ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 09:09:01 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OGD] Oncidium cebolleta as a peyote replacement To: Orchids@orchidguide.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Someone wrote : "Will someone please answer my question about Oncidium ceboletta and please have me stop wasting my time wading through all this other stuff?"
