You're missing the point...
There are many people here interested in and open to researching Phalaris spp. A number of our members have even been pioneering extraction teks, working on growing and cloning methodologies and a few have even gone so far as to get their material analyzed in a lab.
Erowid reports only the fact that there were psychedelic effects when the material was ingested in conjunctions with RIMAs, nothing more. Look at it like this...I'm sure you can find reports on Erowid of kids eating MDMA that's cut with meth. Does this mean that it's a good idea or even remotely safe to eat MDMA cut with meth? Of course not!!!
We also feel that Phalaris needs further investigation. However, we are working on that by growing, harvesting, extracting and testing different grasses in different conditions. Simply harvesting wild grasses, which may contain potentially neurotoxic or harmful substances and eating/smoking extracts from them is downright reckless, irresponsible and (to use your own word from earlier) stupid.
It's not stupid to misidentify a plant...even the pros find themselves stumped every once in a while. It
IS incredibly stupid to ignore the warnings you are being given and expose yourself to unknown and potentially harmful substances.
