Botanists, can you please get started on the research?

Stinging nettle -> singing nettle

Now I’m thinking of some wide spread agent like pollen being laced with naturally occurring psychedelics.
I mean, pollen, as an allergen is often taken in through the nose, which is a great route of administration to affect the brain quickly.
Oh the rag weed count is high? Get ready to trip balls people, lol.

This would have been a much better movie than whatever The Happening was about.

I sat on a stinging nettle while in shorts once without realizing it was there until I sat on it. Would not recommend.

I don’t get it. If the sting of U. pelulifera already contains bufotenin, what genetic change would be needed for a psychedelic sting? Wikipedia says bufotenin is a psychedelic substance and a DMT analog.
Fun fact: while searching for this, I’ve found that apparently some people seem to have elevated levels of bufotenin in their pee. Could be another source…

Gonna need a bigger dose.
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I would guess the change would be to produce more bufotenin and less stinging, rather than adding bufotenin out of whole cloth.
Still probably more than one change, but theoretically feasible to manually breed a population of hallucinogenic stinging nettles if you’re open to being stung a lot for testing.

Oh, I thought that it was qualitatively already a psychedelic sting. But yeah, quantity is key here xD

“Tiny genetic change”
Oof. Would that it were so easy…
nxdefiant@startrek.website 10 months ago
Genes are very small, so, you know, technically correct
Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 10 months ago
The best kind of correct!
