Mimosa Pudica
    #26779721 - 06/24/20 03:46 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)



So I recently discovered a common plant where I live, known commonly as sleeping grass, is also known as Mimosa Pudica. Well I heard the name Mimosa and had to search if it had DMT. I found some reports that it may have 5-MEO-DMT in it and I found some posts on other forums from years back where some people were debating it, and even one who was attempting to concentrate it. Sadly the user who was concentrating it never finished his report.

I found some basic information however on the reported chemical components of Mimosa Pudica.
Quote:


Mimosa pudica contains the toxic alkaloid mimosine, which has been found to also have antiproliferative and apoptotic effects.[31] The extracts of Mimosa pudica immobilize the filariform larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis in less than one hour.[32] Aqueous extracts of the roots of the plant have shown significant neutralizing effects in the lethality of the venom of the monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia). It appears to inhibit the myotoxicity and enzyme activity of cobra venom.[33]

Mimosa pudica demonstrates both antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This plant has also been demonstrated to be non-toxic in brine shrimp lethality tests, which suggests that M. pudica has low levels of toxicity. Chemical analysis has shown that Mimosa pudica contains various compounds, including "alkaloids, flavonoid C-glycosides, sterols, terenoids, tannins, saponin and fatty acids".[34][35] The roots of the plant have been shown to contain up to 10% tannin. A substance similar to adrenaline has been found within the plant's leaves. Mimosa pudica's seeds produce mucilage made up of D-glucuronic acid and D-xylose. Additionally, extracts of M. pudica have been shown to contain crocetin-dimethylester, tubulin, and green-yellow fatty oils. A new class of phytohormone turgorines, which are derivatives of gallic acid 4-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl-6'-sulfate), have been discovered within the plant.[11]

The nitrogen-fixing properties of Mimosa pudica contribute to a high nitrogen content within the plant's leaves. The leaves of M. pudica also contain a wide range of carbon to mineral content, as well as a large variation in 13C values. The correlation between these two numbers suggests that significant ecological adaptation has occurred among the varieties of M. pudica in Brazil.[29]

The roots contain sac-like structures that release organic and organosulfur compounds including SO2, methylsulfinic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, ethanesulfinic acid, propane sulfinic acid, 2-mercaptoaniline, S-propyl propane 1-thiosulfinate, and thioformaldehyde, an elusive and highly unstable compound never before reported to be emitted by a plant.




It would also appear that the Mimosa Hostilis tree's leaves look almost identical to that of the M. Pudica.

Apoptosis is a fancy word for “programmed cell death”. You don’t want to ingest anything that causes your cells to commit suicide.

As it’s an alkaloid, it would be very difficult to separate mimosine from any desirable alkaloids the plant may contain via kitchen Chemistry.

Here's a quote written ten years ago I just found from this forum,

"This is from Christian Raatch's Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Herbs:


Mimosa pudica L. - Sensitive Mimosa

It is possible that the well-known sensitive mimosa, whose leaves immediately fold together when touched, has a certain importance as a psychoactive substance. In Amazonia, where the plant is known as chami, it is made into a tea for treating sleep disorders (Duke and Vasquez 1994). In Belize (Arvigo and Balick 1994) and on the Caribbean island of La Reunion, the stalks, leaves, and roots are used as a sedative and sleeping agents. In Brazil, the plant is called jurema while the variety acerba Benth is known as jurema branca (cf. Mimosa tenuiflora, Pithecellobium spp.) Both forms are used as ingredients in the initiatory drink of the Afro-American Candomble cult.

The plant is known as punyo-sisa in Quechuan. Its leaves are placed in the pillows of old people and children so they will sleep better. (Schultes 1983). In the Amazon region, women soak the leaves in the juice pressed from the roots and smear the resulting juice between their breasts and on the soles of their feet. They claim that this gives them "increased sexual power" (Gottlieb 1974)

In the Philippines, Mimosa pudica is regarded as an aphrodisiac for frigid women. They pick and boil the leaves. The leaves fold together when picked and open up again when boiled, The opened leaf is a symbol for the vagina when it is open for sexual activity.

In India, the leaves are chewed and the resulting mush is spread unto the fresh wounds to stop bleeding (Bhandary et al.)

The plant contains norepinephrine (Schultes and Raffauf 1990). The narcotic effects are thought to be due to the alkaloid mimosine (Wong 1976). The aerial parts of the plant contain two C-glycosylflavones: 2"-O-rhamnosylorientine and 2"-O-rhamnosylisoorentine (Englert et al. 1994) The root contains tannin (Wont 1976)


Holy shit... I had to type that by hand because I couldn't find this information quoted on the internet..... Shit, that took a little bit. Good thing I type fast as hell though.... Hope this helps..."

Apologies for the delayed response.

I felt little to no effects from the tea. I thought for a moment I might have felt a kind of intoxicated effect, like a mild relaxing feeling, but that may have just been placebo.

As for the taste itself, at points I was slightly reminded of an ayahuasca brew I made before; the strange electrochemical reaction one may also experience with mushrooms or LSD. However, the brew was likely extremely diluted and I figure I will have to experiment with more precise measurements and gradual dosage increase.

My gut tells me that these plants can be worked with though.
