Just say no to drugs made from mummified caterpillars

8/20/2012

Here's a good way to talk people out of doing a hot new drug: Explain it's made from the mold that grows out of the heads of mummified caterpillars. "No freaking thanks!" is what we'd say, but Yarsagumba (also known as the Himalayan Viagra) is finding a following in Nepal, and purportedly combines the effects of Viagra and cocaine. Users of the drug reportedly feel a sense of complete confidence and increased sexual prowess, and fans say it "does everything you could ever want" and "makes a stupid man smart, a fat man skinny." Still: mummified caterpillar-head mold? We’ll stick to our Monster energy drinks. [Source]
