Evening Glory

I thought the Indian strain of Argyreia nervosa was devoid of psychedelic substances and only used in ayurveda? Or is it two strains growing in India? Thanks!

What was the name and location of the thread? Maybe it's still saved in Google's cache or something, I can check.

Hey there! I'm soon traveling to India. I'm therefore wondering what psychoactive plants could be found growing wild in the country. All types of psychoactive plants are interesting, but of course psychedelic ones are the most interesting. Maybe there's even some DMT sources growing wild? I know Cannabis grows wild in many areas, and Peganum harmala, and also Amanita muscaria. Both Datura stramonium and Datura metel too. Areca Nut or Betel Nut I see is popular. What other species can be found? I've heard Psilocybe cubensis grows in some areas, maybe one also can find other species of psiloc(yb)in containing mushrooms? Thanks!

No, I don't think so. I don't remember exactly how my Silene capensis looked as a seedling, but I'm pretty sure it was different than the ones at the picture.

As far as I can see Senna spp. tend to have yellow flowers not reminiscent of Gymnocladus spp, which the unidentified tree have. I can also see that Senna spp. doesn't seem to thrive in the cold, so to speak - the species in the family is found in the tropics and the temperate regions, whereas my unidentified tree survived -25C.

Compare the fruits of Gymnocladus dioicus: They're not like the ones on my unidentified tree, take a look at the first two posts. Thanks for the suggestion though!

This season I was able to find a young branch with some flowers (the rest of the flowers have fallen off), but I have no camera at the time. The flowers show that the plant is indeed in the Fabaceae. They are yellow in color and very similar to Laburnum anagyroides, although not red inside as I see pictures on the web show, they're instead green inside. The flowers are also not hanging down in strips, but sits on 1-3 cm long stems in divided clusters of 2 to 6 flowers, at the end of tiny (1-5 cm) branches. Any idea what plant it could be? I'm now thinking a Laburnum species myself, perhaps one of the many hybrids in cultivation. Or?

Very interesting information. I'm using mugwort in my changa mixture to great luck, perhaps these substances have something to do with it, in combination with thujone and others. I can't make much sense of the numbers presented here though, except that the MAO inhibition seems to be weak. But harmalas smoked have an extreme potency compared to oral, so maybe the same is the case here.

Hey there! Is it possible to make cuttings of Peganum harmala, Syrian rue? Because the plant enjoys very little water, I was thinking that simply placing a cutting in a glass of water - as I would with other plants - wouldn't work very well. But maybe I'm wrong? Or some other way works? My thinking is also that using the same procedure as with cacti - leaving it in the air to dry and enable air roots - will probably not work too, because P. harmala isn't a true succulent and thus would dry out. Could someone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

B&T World Seeds doesn't have a source for Limonia acidissima seeds, which often means that they are not in stock anywhere at all.

Bitches gonna bitch, uh? It is correct that the roots of P. incarnata are more or less inactive, at least when it comes to the anxiolytic aspect of the effects. The flowers of P. incarnata, however, are not inactive, they're just not as active as the leaves. The very source for the claim in the book you cite states that the flowers are about half the potency of the leaves. It is always a good idea to check your sources before you go on with the bitching, my friend.

Only if you use ridiculously large amounts. The amount of harmala alkaloids in P. incarnata is about 1/80 compared to in Peganum harmala. 3-5 grams of seeds of the latter is needed to activate DMT properly, which means that around 240 to 400 grams of dried P. incarnata is needed to achieve the same. I don't understand why you have to say things that isn't factual, do you just enjoy talking out of your ass? Mimosa hostilis syn. tenuiflora brew is, by the way, active on it's own in the proper dosages.

Yeah, St Johns Wort doesnt contain harmala alkaloids, and it's MAOI properties is very weak. It is more or less useless to potentiate anything to any real degree, but it's a good anti-depressant.

Well 5-HTP is not serotonin but rather 5-Hydroxytryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, and also melatonin. It is therefore mildly active. Serotonin (5-HT) itself should have no effect.

Thought it appropriate to include an extensive article on many aspects of CNB-001. I've also included the structure of the compound, compared to curcumin itself, taken from the same article. A broadly neuroprotective derivate of curcumin (CNB-001).pdf
