WarpedAstro Posted July 13, 2002 An very mysterious Astro-Gnome the Wizard was given some Solanum nigrum seeds, who he plans to grow them. He has been trying to find some information about the effects and dosages,he seems to can't find because most information he has founded in Erowid's site and other sites, they are mostly blabbing is about Deadly Nightshade and other poisonous strains. The only useful information he seems have to find so far is this Shaman's products link. He tired to search in the Shaman's Fourm's archives, they are working, but the link to the information isn't working. Any information for the wizard will be great.

psycho0 Posted July 13, 2002 someone correct me if i'm wrong but i domn't think black nightshade is very active one day(years ago) a mate and i ate about 6 berries each with no effect, not even a dry mouth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarpedAstro Posted July 14, 2002 mmmm.... did you eat them when the berries were ripe or when they were green, unriped berries?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smiling Cloud Posted July 14, 2002 The ripe berries of this plant are harmless. I've eaten them before and an ex-neighbours grandma used to make a pie out of them. The green berries are poisonous and might contain the tropanes you are after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted July 14, 2002 The alkaloids in this species are not hallucinogenic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spikey Posted July 14, 2002 from what i know the major active alkloid is solanine, which isn't exactly the tropanes ur looking for.. the ripe berries don't do a damn thing, greenones might, but i don't think they will give u a trip, probebly somthing more like poisning...

theobromos Posted July 17, 2002 No tropanes in Solanum nigrum, the alkaloids are all steroid alkaloids like solanine and are seriously bad for the health in excess. This species used to be used as a mild sedative in low doses a long time ago. There are much safer sedatives to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarpedAstro Posted July 20, 2002 Thanks guys, the wizard wasn't even interested in consuming the nightshades, he was just curious for more infor., the seeds were given to the wizard, and of course I am sure that the wizard would rather take something else for sedative effects than these nightshades Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
