popular in china as spice, so chances are you would find it in your local chinatown. my local chinatown imho is a joke compared to nyc chinatown 1/100 perhaps, yet i saw it today in several different packaging. exquisitus attached the following image(s): IMG_20170720_192631.jpg (1,761kb) downloaded 142 time(s).

Are you sure this is Zanthoxylum and not Aralia spinosa? Because both have the same common name "toothache tree" but very different habitats and most likely different chemical properties. ...but it all looked so real! It's not just imagination! Here is why.

 I expected there to be more THC related compounds found in other plants.
