Meth

[BaldBob]

Reminds me of a lecture on Native American foods I once attended. The lecturer talked about some items that were "2 water", " 3 water", and even "4 water" foods. These were items that needed to be boiled and rinsed 2, 3 or 4 times before they could be eaten  - either to be rendered non-toxic or at least edible. Now that's persistence (perhaps brought on by desperation). Makes you wonder how many were poisoned before they found the key to render the food safe.
For some of the other foods, e.g Mushrooms & Blue Crabs, all our ancestors had to do is observe what other mammals safely ate.

I've seen my dogs eat some stuff that I'm pretty sure might kill me.  smiley_airfreshener

Never ran across any meth labs...have seen pot plants growing. Always thought it would be nice to skid past old "Popcorn Sutton" and taste his sipping whisky. A little of that in the old skidder might give her a new lease on life also. lol I think he said something like,"God made wine from water and I make liquor". They get rid of the bad drugs and leave those people alone it would be a better world.

I miss PopCorn. Still have 3 qts of his product stashed back.  I see you can buy something named after him in the stores but I'm sure it's not the same.

Raider Bill those 3 quarts are probably like having "gold". No more will ever be like those. I have tasted store bought stuff before and it sure isn't like the good old mason jar stuff. I always called it "Tennessee Sippin Whiskey" but that doesn't mean it came for there. I have had some distilled from maple syrup that is smooth and will knock your panties in the dirt. I am sure PopCorn would have approved the taste.

Side note of importantce when dealing with possible meth labs: the vapors can kill you before you make it ten steps. Never pick them up or smell the contents of any suspicious bottles.
