There's also a 'hashish trip' sequence
In Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo and it's described as that green shit - always wondered about that.

Although of course it won't have been skunk oil as skunk's less than 25 years old...

Skunk is just..
..the unfertilised female plant, no?

I'm sure Baudelaire mentions how it's the female plant that is important in the preparation. I might be wrong. What is it exactly? I should probably know this since I smoke enough of the stuff.

I know that you want to get rid of the male ones

I won't bore you (much)
THC levels drop after pollination: when you remove the males from the crop before this can occur you get no seeds and the weed is stronger.

This technique produces sensimilla - 'without seeds' - skunk is a particular type of sensimilla developed through selective breeding to have a high THC content, and was first marketed in the late 80s I think.

So Baudelaire would have been ingesting sensi oil - but not skunk.

No worries..
..it's one of my messageboard weaknesses that I get touchy when riled even slightly. *needs a life*
