Desfontainia spinosa?

Recommended Posts

Have been re-reading "The lost amazon" which details Schultes's sojourns in the Amazon and mentions the intoxicator Desfontainia spinosa bush. Mayhap anybody in oz where I might be able to source some?

I've done a fair bit of sampling of this from dried material as well as my own fresh leaves. Other than a tummy ache I can't seem to get any effect from this by the traditional methods. I am trying extracts next.

good, bump there opiumfreak!

desfontainia plants were popular, many years ago, and i saw them traded, but now it seems to have gone very quiet around this plant, maybe a sign, that it did not perform well.
