No you can't get high off banana peels, but it fooled many for awhile. This was back when Donovan's Mellow Yellow was at the top of the charts (and drug experimentation was at the top of many a hippy's chart).
The rumor, as I heard it then, was you take some banana peels, dry roast them in an oven, then scrape the inside of the peel and put it in a pipe and smoke it. Of course I wouldn't advise anyone to do it, as it was just a joke.
Peace,
The Old Hippy

| Suggested Reading My Hippie Grandmother by Reeve Lindbergh, Abby Carter (Illustrator)
This clever, beautifully illustrated, rhyming book is perfect to read to young children. With catchy lines like: "I have a Hippie Grandmother/I'm so glad she's mine/She hasn't cut her hair since 1969." it's a hit not just with the kids but the hip generation as well. A great way to bond across the decades and to pass on some of our values to our next generation. |
