what about that stuff that they used to drink and barf up in Cahokia?

It’s the same plant. They would fast and then drink enough to make themselves sick.

I may love that more than coffee?

If you drink it like a regular tea, then yeah.

As far as starving yourself and chugging caffeine, you could do the same thing with coffee. This is just the plant they had available.
