If i was there i would milk the venom and inject it into pplz i don't like.

redbacks have not killed ppl in years............i believe they arent even classed as deadly anymore...............unless they are SUPERSPIDERS........... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Haha! I get happy when I hear about stuff like that! About 6 years ago I used to talk about the possibility of people using venoms as drugs and everyone said I was crazy - it could never happen. Then in 2000 someone handed me a newspaper clipping of stalls in asia with scorpions, you could go up and get stung by a live scorpion to get a 'hit' for a fee. Every now again you hear about people doing this kind of nut case stuff No worse than drinking neurotoxin or smoking carcinogens I suppose

Isn't redback venom natural ?

Isn't redback venom natural ?

About as natural as marijuana, lightning strikes and hot lava.

 

[Miss_Magickal]

Go ask every dope smoker, crack whore, smack junkie and drunk and you'll get all sorts of interesting and colourful reasons!

Imagine em all exicitedly checking their toilet seats every morning like kids at xmas.
oh wait, no seats on their loos i beleive, aw bully for them. Weirdos. :shock:

 

[peterescue]

Looks like the story could be a beat up. No one has actually been found to be injecting redback venom into themselves at Grafton to get high. Yet!

 

[Fuscus]

I don't back up any of the links I post. My research consists of "Hmm, this looks interesting"

I believe they also lick canetoad's parotid glands to get a similar effect. The Bufotoxin is similar to digitalis.

I wasn't going to mention toad licking. But if you are willing to lick a toad to get high, well, you are probably well on your way to leaving this planet anyhow.

Ill say, digitalis is a heart drug if im not mistaken !
