Is there any articles or studies about this you could link? I know a bit about ginsing, and I know where there is some 20-25 year old wild plants. The ginsing you get in energy drinks and suppliments is farmed. That stuff is much cheaper. The wild stuff is worth over $600/lb and much stronger so don't expect to get many free hand outs. If you are in an area where it grows, and you local laws alow it to be harvested I can tell you where to look and what to look for. This is a big money buisiness for some people, so you DO NOT want to steal or take plants illegally.
