mirabilis jalapa

[t st tantra]

this plant reported shamanic hallucinogen.

root chewed,also purgative,diuretic and aphrodisiac.

thought i'd make note of definite effects,visual and mental,experienced when processing this root for drying.was slicing strips with a peeler,there was quite a bit of moisture and a dark colouration on my hands,which i assume i absorbed something from through my skin.

effect built up over time,and i was a bit disorrientated when spiraleyes and his lady friend came round for a visit!

will experiment further when its dried.

anyone else tried this relativly common plant? t s t .

isn't it the close relative M.multiflora that is active, rather than jalapa??

[t st tantra]

what little info i could find,seems mainly hearsay from sources not totally reliable.

but from memory multiflora is said to be active,with a warning that jalapa is a purgative.

i sourced both aledgedly and couldnt really tell them apart.multi flowers per calyx type structure instead of one.they seemed to have interbred anyway,and with a third species.

so anyway i got some seed to have a go.

thanx for reminding and correcting me.

as is often the case i dont really know exactly what i have,but after the effects from preparation it warrants further bioassay.purging seems almost par for the course and is certainly not going to prevent careful investigation

Could you tell me what is the color of flowers???.

And When have you harvest the roots??.

at the finishing of flowering??.

[sascacheuan]

M.jalapa is very commmon plant. There are strains with red, yellow, white flowers, etc.

M. multiflora is a uncommon plant. at least where i live. the color of the flowers are like purple or so.

[t st tantra]

flowers were magenta,they look great at night.do you think this isthe red or the purple you refer to?can you see anyother difference besides flower colour?

root harvested after flowering.

I have never seen a M.jalapa with this color. It may be the main color of this plant, At google/images dont shows plants with others flower colours, only this one.

or this:

[t st tantra]

looked this one up during my recent hour with pharmacotheon.

ott had reports of stimulation followed by befuddlement,this is exactly what i experienced.the befuddlement being the reason i have not given this a proper try.

but i'd say jalapa is most likely active.

the purgative and diuretic root is concidered an aphrodesiac,reduces inflamation and promotes circulation.used to treat tonsillitis,urinary infections,fluid retention,scabies and eczema.
