“Comes drunk into the mosque”

Role of The Mosque in Confronting The Epidemic of Substance Abuse 
Dr. Jamal Madi Abut Azayem
Egypt
This article will throw light on the experiment conducted by Prophet Mohamed in the early days of Islam to curb the epidemic of alcoholism making use of the mosque as a center of his campaign. The success he gained in minimizing the acceptance and abuse of alcohol up to the present time was and still is a model that can be adopted successfully.

wild mushrooms

In the Siberian lands, shamans have long used the fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) in their magic/divination practices. The use of fly agarics predate the crossing of the Bering Straight, and it is those Paleo-Siberians who brought with them the use of mushrooms in shamanism (La Barre). They invaded the Americas with a culturally programmed interested in hallucinogenic and psychotropic plants and fungi (La Barre). It is possibly this reason why there are so many more known psychoactive plants and fungi in the new world than all of the old.

The root word for befuddled is fudd, and the prefix for fudd is Elmer. He's the poor little dupe with the lightbulb head (with nary a watt in it) who is the volunteer foil for Bugs Bunny's lightning antics. He's practically taunted by the universe. Thank goodness he's too dim to realize it. 
With his baby-like enunciation and tremulous voice that seems always on the verge of tears (provided by the inimitable Arthur Q. Bryant), Elmer is the hunter who can't really stomach the kill.
