Re: Would Plants react differently to stimulants and depressants than humans?

One good student experiment involving alcohol effects on plants involves
paperwhite narcissus, which are sold around Christmas to force indoors. A common
problem with forced paperwhite narcissus is that the stems and leaves grow too
tall and fall over. A Cornell University researcher found that irrigating the
plants with a 4 to 6% solution of hard liquor or rubbing alcohol stunted the
growth so the stems and leaves did not get too tall.
