[QUOTE="Walrus, post: 2087675, member: 25916"] The discussion of medical marijuana on the General Forums reminds me of a discussion with someone a while ago - including medicinal plants in one's crops. There's lots of good information about the benefits of various herbs and extracting essential oils, etc., but I haven't seen much discussion on actual medicinal plants. Besides marijuana, though, interesting thoughts are raised about the raising of poppies for opium production, for instance. And just exactly how is penicillin made from mold? Anyway .. a bit off subject from the medical bag and if this needs to be moved to another thread, by all means. I was working in Egypt a long time ago and we got in a shipment of watermelon that totally reamed out everyone on board, even the locals. The medic went through the supplies of clay anti-diarrheals in record time with no effects, and the ship's captain finally unlocked his safe and began distributing his stash of Paragoric (opium-based something or other). The **** was the most bitter stuff I've ever tasted but it immediately plugged everyone up. (These were pre-Imodium days) The point here, gentle readers, is that situations like this need to be a part of contingency planning, I think. [/QUOTE]
