Trees are cool

If you ever find yourself in the Amazon Basin and end up w/ some free time, go chill with some of the indigenous people. Ask for some orange tree goody goody, and you'll probably come out of the experience with a better outlook on life.

The tree in question is called Myristicaceae. What these people do is, in the earlier hours of the morning, find the coldest part of the tree and scrape off the bark. They lay these strips on some hot embers with the clean, naked side facing upwards. Well, what this does is force this orange resin out of the bark, which is then scraped off, boiled down in a pot, and then ground up.

Now you have a sweet ass arrow poison which doubles as a wonky hallucinogenic snuff. Well in order to use this, you get a buddy, a true dude, to load up the goody goody in a bamboo pipe, put it up to your nostril, take a big breath of air, and shoot that sucker right up into your sinus cavity.

Your vision turns violet, you start salivating, and you scream. By the time you recover, your buddy should have the other end of the pipe loaded up to shoot into your other nostril. Your vision turns purple again, you scream, you salivate, you fall over, and then people usually say something like, "GOOD!". "Far out!"
