Fat hen contains toxic saponins, which are usually not absorbed by the body very well but likely were when smoking it. If growing in nitrogen rich soils the leaves will also contain Hydrogen Cyanide.
LOL, as a pre teen I can remember sending my sister to the store with a "note" from Mom (yeah, I wrote it)to get a pack of smokes...shame on me (that was in the 60's. I got a 'high" from those ciggies.
can't u work out where the "stop" button is u retard ?? if ya dont like it .. turn it off .. or is the old fella holding u hostage with a gun to your head making you watch the vid??
As a 32 year old guy in the States, I would like to comment to you simply that I enjoyed several of your videos today...cheer up a bit though huh? Consider talking about mistakes you made earlier in life you would take back if you could, or maybe about trouble you got yourself into back when...I would be interested to hear.
Thank you so much for informing the younger set. Some believe that our medicines and vaccinations are harmful. They just don't know what it was like before the medical researchers blessed us with their findings.
That story reminds me of when my friend were 12 years old going on our bikes a mile out off the village we live in to smoke roll-ups that we had stolen from his dad. Good to see that over 50 years that nothing changes with kids.
Smoking tea leaves? Hahaha! I've always been curious about that.
I myself once smoked tissues because I was curious about why people smoked and what it was like, w/out actually getting a cigarette. It was... pretty bad. I coughed and hacked and there was all this smoke (I had thoughtlessly done it indoors) and my eyes were watering. But it was actually a pretty funny experience thinking back.
My husband smoked grape vines and hemp once at about the same age as you. The pain alone was a cure and he never wanted to try tobacco let alone anything else.
I enjoy listening to you as always. I check almost everyday so I won't miss your next one. Glad to see you are taking is slower now. Was worried you were trying to keep up with all the responses and not getting enough exercise! LOL! Love the English words I'm learning like 'cricky'(spell??) for instance.
Dear viewers, I am interested in what you think about Peter's world view. Given that he is from England and most of you are not, do you think he has extreme opinions?

What about the age factor? I was surprised when I first realised that someone of his age might embrace such a new form of communication.
Do you like geriatric1927 because of this?
I am keen to know what you think. Thank you already.
Haven't been around for a while. Once again thanks for making me smile and for memories, things we do as kids!!!! Certainly bought back memories for me:-)
Good stories. I think I'd ditch the ET reference myself - I mean, I remember ET, but I'm forty. If you want references that appeal to young people today just keep this in mind - for them that USSR never existed! Yeah, we're that old.
thanks geriatric im not bored of you! no way i think ur intresting its just the way u lay it out you should try something different, i like hearing you stories, i would just like to something different happen! i love you videos just i get bored easily, i will continue admiring and watching your videos.
Peter's videos are REAL. Why should he change? He is a fantastic story teller. He doesn't need to be like everyone else. He is popular because he is being himself. Don't ever do anything different Peter. You are a true and genuine person. I love what you do and the WAY you do it :). -Alan-
Well stop judging then. There are people here that enjoy what Peter does and the way he does it. Thats all I'm saying. I'm voicing MY opinion also. I happen to enjoy what Peter does.
Love the way you're having fun with a co-star and playing around with the credits etc ;) Interesting information about hospitals too, I didn't realise things were so different such a relatively short time ago!
FAT HEN weed can be cooked and eaten and is said to be quite nutritious and the seeds used for chicken feed. Nothing I found about it being toxic..hummm...but still, LOL!!! I'm not going to smoke it, you smoke it...I'm not going too...Lets get Peter!?!
Childhood is so full of wounders, Great Vid Peter!!
Another lovely video. Your voice, to me, is really quite soothing. It's very comforting somehow. :-)And I can always understand everything you say (which isn't always the case with other videos I've seen). Seeing a new video from you brightens my day. Thanks!!
I've just had a mooch in my Wild Flower guide and 'Fat Hen' is a family of 10 plants, including the plant of that name. Fortunately none of them are noted to be poisonous :-D.
Peter, you have done it again! You are so right about the advancements in medicine. Take it from the recipient of a quadruple bypass operation 9 years ago.
Great vid,Peter.I'm sure ur exper'ce in hospital had a lasting impact.Maybe they thought u had polio?My aunt is 75 & at 6 she spent 2 yrs in hosp'l .She's disabled & still is traumatised by memories of cruel nurses there.Did the polio epidemic come to UK as it did to Aus ,Peter?Did u know anyone who had it?Thanx as alway for ur insights.
This reminds me,I'd urge u all u parents to give your kids the polio vaccine.It isn't a '19 C disease',as many think or something only confined to developing nations.In places where they don't have access to the vaccine it spreads like brushfire.My aunt has donated her body 2 the med university when she dies.Students can see what this disease can do.
How nice for someone to write you a personal song. How honored you must feel. Well, you do that to a lot of us... inspire us, you know? Give E.T. a hug for me.... xoxo
I'd just like to say that I think all your movies are great. You're a big influence for most of my sort-of-famous movies entitled Telling bugger all. They are in no way offensive to you. At first, they were spoofs, but now they have developed into a new thing.
I'd just like to say thanks for that, and keep up the good work.
It's funny the things kids do, I bet that was quite the scary experience. Great way to start a weekend watching one of your videos. You know I love you lots grandpa oh and tell ET he better obey so he can get more batteries and give you a break lol.
Awesome! When I first saw the video I thought you were going to tell us you had been smoking pot. <g> My mom told me when hse was young she used to smoke corn silk.... I tried it and turned green.!
Another story that stirs memories here...I remember the Tuberculosis sanitoriums and my aunt having to leave her family for months while she was there for the "cure". Also, a thought how nice if we could manage disagreeable people the way you manage your friend, ET. Just withhold the batteries.
lol I would let the battery run out. Toys with A.I. can make people go nuts even with the parents. When the batterys run out in those type of toys that kind of thing can happen. Also another nice Vid.
Your banter with ET is funny.
