Intoxicating Mint - Now Available

Lagochilus Inebrians:
Highly sought after psychoactive, probably the most desired since the emergence of Kratom. The rarity of this herb is attributed to the instability of the region in which it is native. the steppes of Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia). It is illegal in these countries, highly regulated by shady groups (Talib_n-etc.), and most samples coming from this area prove to be scams.
Lagochilus inebrians has long been used for its intoxicating and sedative properties by Tajik, Tatar, Turkoman and Uzbek tribesman and Shamans. A crystalline compound isolated from the plant and named lagochiline has proved to be aditerpene. ( Source ) Users liken the effect to the most popular herb, euphoric, and lasting 6-8 hours.
It is sometimes available in the ethnobotanical realm but it seems highly controlled by a few and to put it simply they do not seem to want to share it with the community. There has been more talk of it recently and it appears to be making its way to availability. I will update this thread in a few weeks with a hopeful bioassay and link to availablity.
Here is one experience report from another ethnobotanical forum (when combined with C. Sativa) :
Quote:
Colors, textures and patterns were noticably enhanced and music sounded much better than normal. Those participating agreed; it was like the early stages of low-dose silliness.
One cigarette wasn't quite enough; two should hopefully push it over the edge. One was very nice, though.
Larger doses should also be more interesting. The amount of material I now have on hand limits my experimentation to small quantities.
I combined the two herbs to see if there was synergy and also because smoking is the most efficient way to use many plant materials if you have limited quantities or want to determine effects without using a larger dose.

The holy graal for many people. Not for me, though I am really looking forward to try it. It will be availible soon enough it seems. I really hope, for conservation perposes it will be available as seed and propagation isn't overly difficult.

That stuff may be misidentified, though don't take my word for it. There is a batch of a chamomille misrepresented as lagochilus going around. I don't know if this is the case with the stuff from BBB, but the real stuff will be available soonish for sure. But if you have the money to take the chance it's worth a shot... Or if someone could take a step forward and confirm it's the real thing? Anyone?

There were a couple more posts in this thread, but they have mysteriously disappeared.
_cracker: Yes you can smoke the variety I am looking into.
There have been a lot of weak and misrepresented batches going around. Potent lagochilus should have a strong resiny-intoxicating smell.
Just to let you all know, my friend at <url removed> now has this in stock, it may not be on the page yet but you can add it to cart when checking out. It is $50/oz right now but will decrease as availability increases. PM me for the link.

yeah, I wonder what happened to the other posts.. hmmm.. anyway I bought some of the mint from BBB the other day. I'll tell you how it goes when I get it.
But I'm still on neurontin and I've been trying to find out if any of the drugs i'm taking will have interactions, but not getting much luck.. so does anyone know what the case will be with the mint?

I doubt you will find any info on interactions with neurotin and lagochillin .
This herb has peculiar effects on the blood though, and it would probably contradict blood thinning medicines.
