Cautions:

  "The root has strong purgative effects, one-half to one ounce of the root eaten or

    boiled in water, producing green, watery stools, some cramping, and immense

    flatulence.  Although said to be used by the Hopi medicine men for inducing trance

    states.  I cannnot directly vouch for this.  One to two ounces produce (besides the

    previous symptoms) thirty to sixty minutes of gaiety and hyperactivity followed

    immediately by several hours or more of befuddlement, slurred speech, and

    general muscular lethargy."
