shonman Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I found a nice patch of the American calamus growing, dug up some roots and live plants..... Read a bit about it. Rumour has it that removing oils......takes out unpleasant aspects of chewing this plant... then, by cold water extraction, some suspect a hitherto ignored phelethylamine type compound (legal) is present in the water.... Any thoughts or experiences on this? Edited April 30, 2015 by shonman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwalchgwyn Posted May 19, 2015 hey shonman, not much from my own experience, but thought I'd share this: www.rook.org/earl/bwca/nature/aquatics/acorus.html that has some information & makes the distinction as you did between americanus versus calamus, the former evidently lower in B-Asarone...

Roopey Posted May 20, 2015 I was a big fan of taking little bumps of powdered calamus up the nose there for a little while. Takes a little while (like a week or two) before anything starts happening, some sort of weird reverse tolerance thing. Love this plant! I have a bag somewhere, I'll do some more experiments here in a bit and get back to you. I would like to do an ethanol extract on some and see where it gets me.
