Do the leaves of Silene Capensis work? (African Dream Root)

New member here.
I would like to try growing some African Dream root. However, it takes 2 years for the root to mature. That's a long time. I've read somewhere that the leaves when chewed has the same effect. Can anyone confirm that? That would be very useful, cause I wouldn't have to kill the plant, or wait 2 years.

The reason I want to grow Silene Capensis is because I'm curious about the white dreams.

Elaborate on "white dreams." :O

Well, the name translates to "white paths" or "white ways". And it has been reported that some of the dreams have a very white tone to them, as in literally, white sky, white ground, white whatever.

Anyone tried growing it? Do the leaves work?

I am pretty sure that you must use the roots. Can you link the site that said you can chew the leaves?
