Mosh Posted July 3, 2019 I have been trying to purchase the herb, but none is available atm. Is this because of its rarity and may be listed by CITES? I couldn't find it on the data base, but aren't really familiar with researching CITES data base. Can anyone help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubism Posted July 4, 2019 There's some extract on ebay if you want to try your luck with that. Supposedly 200x extract. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223348103560 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mosh Posted July 4, 2019 I'm interested in the herb material only, and why it is no longer available. The whole herb contains the seeds. I've grown my own but no seeds, wondering what the pollinator is. I lost my plants after heavy summer rain. The material I have is great, been sitting around in in a not to well sealed container and is still potent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tryptamine Posted July 16, 2019 Its endangered in its natural habitat... But surely cultivation is a good thing. I smoked an extract PAH were selling back in the day, worst tasting smoke I have ever had with zero effect. I had wrongly assumed it was the active ingredient in the original Spice, before it was known to be synthetic. The herb itself was more interesting. Foul taste, but 15g as a tea gave a unique effect, a distinct head-change, not unlike (but not the same as) very mild weed or even kava. Fresh herb would be the way to go with this one to go I reckon. Be good to get viable seeds. I have read that much of the dried herb on the market is in fact a related species.

Mosh Posted July 24, 2019 I've got some seed that's a few years old now, but should be OK. A decoction is the traditional way, I've found this excellent, with a bit of honey. The herb can be boiled several times before it loses potency. Effects are really strong, as a sedative. More deep body relaxation, with very clear mental functioning. A bit like cannabis without all the racing mental bullshit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
