OF COURSE one can get a buzz from frangipani flowers, Hugo. However your dosage is far too small. One needs to consume AT LEAST 300 flowers to get this buzz. It is best to consume these at night, when the frangipani perfume is strongest. BE AWARE that there are side effects from consuming. The IMMEDIATE side effects are abdominal distension, fragrant burps, followed by loss of appetite and gaseous (not so fragrant) explosions per anus. This can prove very embarrassing if you are dining with your beloved that evening.
The long-term side effects of abusing frangipani flowers are more serious and PERMANENT. Includes loss of scalp hair; grossly increased body hair (usually grey, black and ginger); the lower limbs become SHORTER and thinner; MAN BOOBS appear; teeth become discoloured; the abdomen becomes grossly swollen with fatty deposits. The genitalia shrink.
You will observe these middle-aged caucasian victims of Frangipani Addiction throughout Bali. Often appear at hotel breakfast buffets - looking for bakso balls to enhance their budgie smuggler's profile. Hope that this has been of some help Hugo.
