Bananadine, also known as Musa Sapientum Bananadine, is a drug that can be extracted from the skins of bananas. First described in the "Anarchist's Cookbook" as a substance that is present in small concentrations in the skins of bananas, it is scientifically proven to have effects similar to weed, ecstasy and permanent markers. Wikipedia claims that bananadine is fictional, but then again, those fat wikipedos probably haven't eaten fruit in at least 100 years. The actual chemical makeup of bananadine is incredibly complex, and contains a fucking tonne of carbon atoms and functional groups - just like a lot of other drugs!
Musa Sapientum is simply the Latin botanical name for bananas. This hoax was first published in the Berkeley Barb in March 1967 as a thought of the possibility of something as common as bananas being able to be made into a drug and how the govenrnment would react. This hoax was given credit in The Anarchist's Cookbook in 1970. The author of the publication wishes to see it discontinued. Quoted from author William Powell "The Anarchist Cookbook was written during 1968 and part of 1969 soon after I graduated from high school. At the time, I was 19 years old and the Vietnam War and the so-called 'counter culture movement' were at their height.... The book, in many respects, was a misguided product of my adolescent anger at the prospect of being drafted and sent to Vietnam,"
