Reeds, huh ... I can't get it straight in my head that they look like tall grass, not like bulrushes. Why does Wikipedia have them in the categories "herbal and fungal hallucinogens" and "Psychedelic tryptamine carriers"? Does one have to smoke the seeds or can one get high by chewing the stems?
I didn't know what a bulrush was until I looked it up just now, and it appears to refer to a few kinds of sedge and to baby Moses' papyrus basket. Sedges are pretty similar to grasses, but phragmites is definitely a grass.
According to the wikipedia article on phragmites, "Rhizomes of the plant are rich in N,N-DMT alkaloids," which I've never heard before. I suspect it's wiki-bunk, or else the fens would be full of college kids digging up the reeds' roots and smoking them.
