Sassafras/safrole

[Dimensional Transition]

Does anybody have any information on it's effects?
Are the supposed dangers true? (highly carcinogenic, hemotoxic, possibly lethal) As before the 1960's I read it was used in a lot of products.

Not planning on using it, just curious, as there is so little to find about the psychoactive effects of sassafras.

Hmm, as far as I know it has no psychoactive effects by itself, just as a precursor chemical to you know what..

It's not used in fragrances any more, but whether this is due to its status as a precursor chemical or actual dangerous properties it's hard to say

I think I read it might cause effects quite similar to MDMA somewhere... The effects are just not as intense.

I've never drank 'real root beer', which is supposed to be made from the roots from the sassafras tree. Does root beer make you happy? (And not the commercially manufactured root beer, I don't think they put sassafras in there anymore, because of the supposed carcinogenic properties of sassafras(I doubt if that's really true though...))
