How can I grow SASSAFRAS trees economically?
I have a love for Sassafras tea. I love it, but although I live in the woods where the plant is plentiful I feel badly about digging it up for myself. I could dig up every plant in the woods and still not have enough! That is why I want to learn how to grow the plant so that I may replace what I use for tea. Does anyone know how to do this?
Please and thanks!

I had one health store person tell me that it has a poisoning substance in it and should be taken with caution.
When I was a child and a little older we used to drink it all time with no ill feelings. Now that I am much older I have to use caution with everything I do.
Does anyone have an opinion or is knowledgeable about this tea?

Answer: Sassafras Tea
The role of your cancer health professional is to create an environment of openness and trust, and to help in making informed decisions about alternative/ complementary therapies. Collaboration will improve the safe integration of all therapies during your experience with cancer. The "Summary" and "Professional Evaluation/ Critique" sections of this Unconventional Therapies manual are cited directly from the medical literature, and are intended to help in the objective evaluation of alternative/ complementary therapies.
Summary
"An overriding consideration in this entire matter of the safety and efficacy of Sassafras is that the plant material has no really significant medical or therapeutic utility. Sassafras oil, in common with large number of volatile oils, does possess some mild counterirritant properties on external application, but beyond these, none of the claims of its supporters has been documented in the modern medical literature. Despite its pleasant flavor and its folkloric reputation as a useful tonic, prudent people will avoid this drug because of its potentially harmful qualities." (Tyler)
"Sassafras should not be used internally or externally." (Newall)
Description/ Source/ Components
This tea is made from the young root of Sassafras, Sassafras abdidum. The active ingredient is safrole. (Stich)
"It contains up to 9 percent of a volatile oil, which, in turn, consists of about 80 percent safrole." (Tyler)
Safrole is also a component of many essential oils, such as star anise oil, micranthum oil and camphor oil. (Homburger)
History
"Sassafras was always popular in folk medicine, being regarded by rural people as a spring tonic or purifier of the blood." (Haines)
"The root bark was being used to treat fevers by the natives of Florida prior to 1512 and formed one of the earliest exports of the New World. It still enjoys a considerable reputation as a stimulant, and as treatment for rheumatism, skin disease, syphilis, typhus, dropsy (fluid accumulation), and so on." (Tyler)
Sassafras is used for medicinal purposes as well as for a beverage. Aromatic oil derived from the Sassafras root bark was formerly much utilized in flavoring confections, soft drinks, and pharmaceutical products. Such use was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1960 after safrole was found to be hepatocarcinogenic (liver-cancer-causing) in the rat. (Stich)
"A new use has emerged in the past decade. Clandestine producers of 'designer drugs' have used safrole and isosafrole, derived from the oil of Sassafras root bark, as a precursor in the manufacture of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (known as MDMA, ecstasy, XTC, and Adam). This illicit drug gained notoriety in the early 1990's, but it is not a new compound. The synthesis of MDMA from safrole was first described in a German patent published in 1912." (Tyler)
Toxicity/ Risks
"As a result of research conducted in the early 1960's, safrole was recognized as a carcinogenic agent in rats and mice." (Tyler)
"Several naturally occurring aromatic ethers, of which safrole [1-allyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)-benzene] is one example, are hepatocarcinogens." (Bolton)
"Both benign and malignant tumors have developed in laboratory animals, depending on the dose of safrole administered." (Newall)
Safrole is a chemical carcinogen, which can induce DNA modification. (Tan)
"No one really knows just how harmful it is to human beings, but it has been estimated that one cup of strong Sassafras tea could contain as much as 200 mg [milligrams] of safrole, more than four times the minimal amount believed hazardous to humans if consumed on a regular basis." (Tyler)
"In concentrations of 1% of the diet, safrole is toxic, producing weight loss, testicular atrophy, and bone marrow depletion. It also induces hepatomas (liver cancer)." (Homburger)
"It is estimated that a few drops of Sassafras oil are sufficient to kill a toddler and as little as one teaspoonful has proved fatal in an adult. Symptoms of poisoning are described as vomiting, stupor, and collapse. High doses may cause spasms followed by paralysis. Large amount of the oil are reported to be psychoactive with the hallucinogenic effects lasting for several days." (Newall)
"Recent studies have shown that even safrole-free Sassafras produced tumors in two-thirds of the animals treated with it. Apparently, other constituents in addition to safrole are responsible for part of the root bark's carcinogenic activity." (Tyler)
A 72-year-old woman drank Sassafras tea up to 10 cups a day and developed diaphoresis and hot flashes. When the woman "stopped drinking the tea, the diaphoresis and hot flashes promptly resolved." (Haines)
"We have shown in preliminary pharmacological experiments that certain aqueous and alcoholic extracts prepared from Sassafras root bark are capable of eliciting a variety of pharmacological responses in mice, including ataxia, ptosis, hypersensitivity to touch, central nervous system depression and hypothermia. Safrole is also a potent inhibitor of certain liver microsomal hydroxylating systems, a property that could lead to toxicity problems if drugs metabolized by these enzymes are administered together with Sassafras teas... To ensure safe and effective drug therapy, it would seem appropriate for physicians to evaluate their patients in terms of extemporaneous herb tea usage and to discourage these practices whenever feasible." (Segelman)
"Carcinogenicity of safrole following transplacental exposure of the mouse fetus and exposure of the neonatal mouse via the mother's milk was investigated in mice by intragastric administration of the agent to pregnant and lactating females... Renal epithelial tumors were observed in 7% of female offspring exposed to safrole in utero; none of the other experimental and control animals developed these tumors. Only male offspring nursed during the preweaning period by mothers treated with safrole developed hepatocellular tumors. In contrast, direct administration of safrole, beginning at the time of weaning and continuing for the duration of the experiment, led to a significantly high incidence of hepatocellular tumors in females, but not in males. Eighty-six percent of the liver tumors observed in females were hepatocellular carcinomas with a high rate of pulmonary metastasis. The data suggest that safrole or its metabolites came into contact with fetuses by crossing the placenta and with infants through its excretion in milk to exert the perinatal carcinogenicity." (Vesselinovitch)

Is SASSAFRAS an underrated wood for building?
I recently made a drum out of Sassafras and its really nice. It looks good, sounds good, is sturdy, and all of that. Plus it had smelled awesome while I was working with it.
But, as far as I can tell, Sassafras isnt that common of a wood to build with. Maybe Im just not paying attention..
If it isnt popular, can anyone think of why? Should it be more popular than it is?
Answer: Generally speaking, it's an exotic wood.
By similarity, you won't see apple listed as an acceptable 2x4.
I live on the northern Great Lakes. We have a good amount of hemlock.
Hemlock is great for rot resistance ... it does make for nasty slivers though.
Because it's regional, it's special.
If I wanted to make a Sassafras night stand it would cost me a fortune.
Same for you if you wanted a hemlock one.
Your regional, special wood should not be more popular. It's for you.

What does the SASSAFRAS tree represent in the book Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns?
Please help , Ive been trying to figure this out for like 2 days. And dont call me lazy and tell me to read the book because I already read it, I just cant figure this out.
Please help me :(
Answer: The Cold Sassy tree gives the novel its title and the town its name, and it symbolizes a number of concepts and characters. The tree stands for Rucker’s and Miss Love’s strength and composure, and the word sassy might refer to their sassy flouting of the town’s social conventions. The tree also symbolizes an older era in the town’s history. The town takes its name from the trees, and the shrinking Sassafras grove parallels the town’s bittersweet progress. When settlers first came to Cold Sassy there was a whole grove of Sassafras trees. To make room for the new railroad, all but one tree was cut down. At the end of the novel, that last tree is felled so that the tracks can be widened, and the townspeople want to change the name of the town to something more modern. With this eradication of the Sassafras trees over time, the town grows more modern and distances itself more from its heritage.
