  Yes I have heard of Coltsfoot - Is Rock - like a toffee or a fudge or a nougat?

  I don't think we don't get interesting things like that here.

  Really???!!! 'cause it looks like terracotta bricks for building or paving

  ...did you ever wonder if the Coltsfoot plant IS addictive? I will investigate - then see if customs would allow it to be imported, or maybe this is why it is unavailable here already - they know, and have classed it as a drug, and a prohibited substance - maybe they think trafficking Coltsfoot Rock (or Coltsfoot in any product) might just be too dangerous?!

  They are only finger sized benji - but I suppose you could definitey build something (quite marvellous) with a stack of them

  Okay - I didn't find any referance to the Coltsfoot plant eing toxic or narcotic or addictve - some references to it being a noxious weed in some places - that's how it goes, I should have remembered; where one plant can be good in one place, it'll become a weed and a pest in others...but I didn't find any problems noted here in Australia anyway...I really can't see any reason why importing Coltfoot Rock would be a problem. Further investigations should be made...but not to-night, sorry Jomo, you will simply have to suffer your cravings a bit longer. Hell, by the sounds of it, I could use some too!! One site took me to a place where they talked more about how it is used in herbal medicines. Careful though - it wanted to shoot me off to some other site for some stupid IQ test (I didn't stay long enough to find out more, cause these things do tend to be ads and seem to me to want to entice me in only to sell me something - and I don't like that, since THAT WASN'T WHAT I WAS GOOGLING/SEARCHING FOR AT ALL!! - that gets me cranky....I'm even suspicious that my clicking to go away from it again is somehow relaying info to them....very baaaaddd!!!!) This place gives recipies and all! So here's the address if you like:
