Sound perfect for Berserker Day!
Interesting.
I looked online, no way to know authenticity/content.
If anyone finds a proper product, let us know.
“The intoxicating effects of mad honey have been known for thousands of years…According to Xenophon’s Anabasis, an invading Greek army was accidentally poisoned by harvesting and eating the local Asia Minor honey, but they all made a quick recovery without any fatalities. Having heard of this incident, and realizing that foreign invaders would be ignorant of the dangers of the local honey, King Mithridates later used the honey as a deliberate poison when Pompey’s army attacked the Heptakometes in Asia Minor in 69 BC. The Roman soldiers became delirious and nauseated after being tricked into eating the toxic honey, at which point Mithridates’s army attacked.”
I am rather surprised that I can’t find any references to folks making tea from it or smoking it.
I think Hamilton Morris did a segment on this, but now I can’t find it. In any case, it sounds unpleasant if you take enough to get high.
