Alrite so whenever i run out of herb i always try to do the "experimental" highs that i here to be rumored but i always check it out for saftey first. My problem is that this time idk how to check it out.

So basically my freind said that he has seen birds get drunk off of these red berries that grow in bushes. So i have provided a pic of the berries in question and i am wondering wether anyone knows the truth of this myth or if they know the name of the berry so i can look it up myself

I use berries like that along with other organic juices, tree sap etc... and I make war (face) paint out of it.

You are not going to get high or drunk off of those. You very likely will get sick though. So don't be a fool, go mow a lawn and buy a dub.

Pumert....a simple taste test will give you enough information. Just cut one open and put your tongue on the juice. If its nasty, burning or just one of those really bad tastes, then its most likely not safe to be ingested into the body.

You can always tell your friends that you dried them, crushed them up and smoked them in your bowl and had the best high of your life.....but you must tell them that you did use some of them for war paint...ok?

I can guarantee that those will not give you a buzz at all. Birds eat them yes, but no they dont get drunk off them. And how could you tell a bird was drunk? Was it hopping around a little too much or something. Also no those wont kill you or make you sick.

If it would get people high or buzzed by now it's been found and is widely known. aNothing is going to be a new discovery (at least nothing found in nature) so no DO NOT EAT THOSE.

Yup, it's firethorn. Pyracantha is the proper name. Here's a little bit from wikipedia:

Pyracantha berries are not poisonous as commonly thought; although they are very bitter, they are edible when cooked and are sometimes made into jelly.[1]
