<td valign="top" width="50%">In West Africa, this treelike curcubit is known as<br />
<br />
pebe. Its seeds are reputedly used to establish<br />
<br />
contact with the water spirits (mamiwata).<br />
<br />
Apparently they are ingested and also smeared on<br />
<br />
the arms. The seeds are used by the Pygmies as a<br />
<br />
stimulant and to treat headaches. With a scent<br />
<br />
reminiscent of that of nutmeg, they are also used as a substitute for the true nutmeg (Myristica<br />
<br />
fragrans) , which may also represent a pebe for<br />
<br />
contacting the water spirits (Wagner 1991; cf. also<br />
<br />
Ott 1993, 413 f.*). The seeds contain an essential<br />
<br />
oil in which myristicin or safrole may be present;<br />
<br />
this would make them a useful psychoactive substance.<br />
<br />
African slaves introduced the plant into the<br />
<br />
Caribbean, where the seeds are used as a spice<br />
<br />
(Bartels 1993,69*).<br />
<br />
Another curcubit species (Echinocystis Iobata<br />
<br />
Torr. et Gray) is rumored to be psychoactive or<br />
<br />
even hallucinogenic (Schultes and Farnsworth<br />
<br />
1982, 188*; Schultes and Hofmann 1980,367*).</td><br />
