Can Any Doctors Advise?

Was that a recent experiment, or something you did in your wild and mis-spent youth?

Definitely wild and mis-spent youth. I'm too busy these days. And most of them were once-only, as they're not exactly 'body-friendly' - more of an interesting ordeal. But we definitely didn't use broomsticks at any point in the proceedings. I knew someone who once ate a few spoonfuls of Dr. Potter's Asthma Treatment (Datura), and according to friends who visited, he apparently spent three days in his bedroom talking to a guy who wasn't there - even making him beans on toast at one point.

So much for 'break on through to the other side'...

Well if you are all finished with illegal substances I'm glad you are not my doctor and i'm a chronic asthmatic so not overly joyful with your post. Do you really know what it's like not to be able to breathe?

Something for the GMC to look at?

For many tales of the effect of Datura, see the Carlos Castaneda books (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Castaneda) - definitely not for the faint-hearted

Problem solved.  It's where we'll all end up.  Can't dispute a Dr or some medics advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5aWUQbvbAI

Please note Claviceps has over 50 species and Claviceps purpurea has several different races. It can affect most species in the Triticeae including wheat and barley, definitely grown at the time. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if there's a member of Claviceps to affect most members of the Poaceae!
