Had a Guatemalan friend. He joined the army and went to nam. He was promised citizenship for his service, got a couple of medals but was released after he accidentally pointed a claymore mine at a tree trunk. When he set it off during a firefight it cut the tree down and the tree injured some of his squad.

He told me of a euphoric drink they made in his country that was not alcohol. One would put a certain worm or bug in a jar of water and some kind of herb. After a few days they would strain it and drink it. He called them visions. He actually had some but i was hesitant to drink. I finally took a sip and got an effect not unlike a strong sativa. He said i didnt drink enough.

He and his family were finally deported and i never saw him again.


Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Sometimes i miss the guy.

Lol..Dude was just nuts and put beetles in his Pepsi...
That's interesting..any clue if it was the bug that caused the effect or the combination of the liquid herbs and bug? I'd want to dress up the taste of the bug..

I'm no expert on hallucinogenics but I've experimented a bit in my travels, perhaps he refers to the bamboo worm or (and I had to look it up to get the proper latin term) bicho de taquara

Idk about the worm / hallucinations but the experience you described kind of makes me think of khat maybe?

"Qat (kat, khat) is a stimulant from the buds or leaves of Catha edulis that is chewed or drunk as tea. "
