Do most people here only use psychoactive herbs?
    #27064841 - 11/30/20 03:05 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

I'm just curious how many of you use other medicinal herbs that aren't sold on "legal pot" shop sites. Like, I wild harvest mullein, chicory, motherwort, prickly lettuce and other herbs that have very little psychoactive effect, but have relaxing, sedative or other mental effects, just not visuals per se. Lemonbalm is a good example. It seems to calm you but not really give you a "high." What's your opinions?

I personally, do.. I use some sedatives for sleep and anxiety, but typically along with psychoactive herbs. Chicory grows so abundantly here, prickly lettuce is pretty common too.. They are Central nervous system relaxants and weaker types of Wild Lettuces, damn right I'm gonna take some for free when it grows all around my yard! Lol. Took some prickly lettuce seeds too JIC

I do a CBD bud/ California Poppy joint for bed too. It's pretty awesome! 10 mins after melatonin it'll knock you TF out!

I'm going to see if blue lotus extract and kanna extract in an ethanol solution would help me sleep. Gunna do a 25x 2 gram extracts of both and see what happens in a 1 liter bottle of vodka.

Hopefully will get me to stop drinking till black out just to go to bed.

Any other ideas to add to that cocktail? (Has to be 6 panel UA friendly)

*Disregard* I swear by California Poppy. From everything I read it's a benzo, and it is a strong herb (especially the roots and flowers) I grow it through the summer and use the whole plant thru the winter (as it does not grow readily into winter up here.)

Sorry, I didn't see the drug test part, I think it does contain small amounts of morphine and codeine. In that case I would recommend Lemonbalm.

Hmm, really? i get super relaxed a little tripped out and euphoric. I drink Kratom Coffee in the evening like this, but sometimes I'll put about 15mg of CBD in it.

I think they say people get speedy in low doses but sleepy in higher doses. I sleep on it fine, but as I said, I have a shitload of sedatives and downers.

Update of kanna and blue lotus. I definitely feel the blue lotus resin way more than the kanna. Maybe need to take more kanna? Hope they work well together.

Weird. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't work together. The Lotus usually potentiates anything else you take with it. It says on this website 100mg to 250mg is considered a medium dose for Kanna. That is only 0.1 to 0.25 grams

I'm making a few things as we speak, some chicory resin from my excess herb material last year, (to store it easier) and a Christmas Apple Pie Kratom + CBD tincture, extracted in moonshine (for the Holidays.)

Yeah I'm putting it in ever clear and hoping it increases bio availability. The kanna was 150mg under tongue.

Maybe the vendor I got it from didn't ferment it good.:shrug:

Good thing I got seeds to plant for this spring.

Yeah, that's awesome! I plan on growing a lot this spring, and actually we have a little winter garden in a south facing window through winter to keep my better half happy, but I'm keeping my Lemonbalm alive and also trying my luck growing Motherwort and Klip Dagga indoors.

Yeah, mildly... It's Lions Tail or Lions Ear... It's used as a pot substitute,I am interested in it's Anti-depressant, anti-anxiety and pain relieving effects. It may help in your cocktail, or it might get you high and make you not want to sleep.

I use the grassy leaves and flowers for smoking, but I use the whole plant for extracts and tinctures. (Including the roots since the alkaloids are 10X stronger and they only grow late spring into summer here.) I know people who smoke the whole plant with weed for sleep (after I recommended it.)

I love your avatar btw, Floyd is my favorite band, by far!

I haven't actually tried that. Black willow bark I know is a sedative, and skullcap. I looked up Magnolia though, and it is supposed to be really good for sleep.

California Poppy contains no opiates at all :thumbup: However, it does contain some interesting sedating alkaloids, so they say.

I never got anything off of the California Poppy before, but I'm not saying that is doesn't work, it just doesn't for me.

Yeah, I found blue lotus extract didn't do much but thin my blood. I did 5 grams of 25x extract sublingually and just felt my heart get pissed at me like when doing too much opiates. Felt absolutely nothing.

I grow my own California Poppies. i notice no "high" off of it at all, but it definitely sedates me. 1 500mg (half gram) capsule and about 1/2 of a joint of it (with CBD hemp) will knock me out in 15 minutes (with or without melatonin. )

Lotus I have been working with for a long time. I notice slight color variations and a chill, talkative mood. Lotus is best mixed with other stuff.. IE, Lotus + Kratom with make a more vicoden-like painkiller than Kratom alone, or I personally just made a resin blend of Mugwort, Lotus, Passionflower (all mildly psychoactive) with lesser amounts of Lemonbalm and catnip to enhance my green and make it go further, and it seems to work wonders. I'm sure it may even get you some type of high on its own.

So, I grew out some really nifty California poppy varieties this season, and actually I do recall trying some as a matter of fact,and I did notice a slight sedation, I forgot. I think I might experiment more this next season, seems like what I need for my sleep problemos :awesomenod:

How is passionflower? I have tons of that growing every year. I made a pleasant tasting tea from the flowers one time, but it was just a good tea, and nothing more.

I would highly recommend California Poppies for sleep.

On the topic of Passionflower; My cousin actually bought property to open a campsite that had Purple Passionflower growing. I got ounces upon ounces. The actual flower and marijuana gave me CEV's when I first started smoking it. Passionflower is good for anxiety, although I've heard bad things about the effect on your liver. I think they say not to exceed 3 grams per day. But it is psychoactive and anxiolytic.

This is what I got from that trip down to TN...

Very nice man! I just eat the fruits if I can get at them before the squirrels do, but I like the idea of the cev's when mixed with cannabis and smoked, so I will try that out next season :thumbup:

I wont make a habit of it, if it can mess with your liver though. I may do some more research on that aspect of the plant, before I indulge.

I like this thread, very informative :thumbup:

Thanks brother! Me too! it's nice to meet you guys for one thing. The other thing is, I eat, sleep and, breathe herbs so I think my fiance appreciates me talking to you guys instead of talking her ear off about it. Lol.

They do sell 25X passionflower and stuff, so I assume it's pretty safe, I just go easy on it for that reason..They also claim there's cyanide in it, which others still say is bullshit. I've personally ingested probably over 3 grams in a day and never exhibited any symptoms of cyanide poisoning.

No problem man, I love this place :cool:

Where else can we get all the good advice that we need for our love of plants? I'll tell you, nowhere else that I'd ever want to be :grin:

I did read about the cyanide in Passion Flower years back, but I don't know if that is a true statement.

Your fiance might just get a little jealous and miss you talking her ear off, if you stick around here long enough, hehehe :wink:

Dead on! I'll even google things and it will refer me back to Shroomery one way or another lol. My fiance doesn't care about the details she just want occasional Ephedra, Kratom and, Ashwaganda capsules lol. I am still teaching her stuff though, and we go out together in the spring and summer and forage for herbs.  That's how I got my Motherwort herbs and seeds that I'm growing indoors now.

I know right, most searches on psychoactive plants and mushrooms bring you right here where they're the most at home:cool:

I forage for herbs and mushrooms too, but it's too cold now. We actually have all kinds of cool stuff that grows in the wild here :awesomenod:

What is motherwort good for again? I grew some out years and years ago, but I never consumed it.

That's cool... Where are you at? I'm in West Virginia in the Appalachians so we have all sorts of stuff also..

Motherwort is good for anxiety, depression, post-partum depression and other womanly child baring issues (hence the name.) It is related to Klip Dagga and Wild Dagga with similar effects, except smoking too much can cause respiratory arrest so I mostly use it in capsules. It is a bitter tea.

Yep, I reside in the state right to your West, Kentucky :thumbup:

What grow zone are you in? I would assume 7, or below. I'm in 7 and it's hell, so freezing cold and dark out right now, it's the pits!

Mother wort sounds good for me, because I do suffer form anxiety and depression. did you say it grows wild in your area? If so, I bet it grows here as well.

Yes, indeed it does. I found it along a bicycle path, growing in part shade.  Early in the season it looks like highly detailed maple leaves, but later it looks like this...

If you find some you can get an 11" cutting and replant it in your yard. (I unfortunately, didn't know that at the time.) That's okay though, cause I got seeds later in the season. Yes, it is good for anxiety and depression and as I understand it gets built up in your system and gets even stronger after 1-2 weeks of use. I only got about 50 grams but I'm growing some indoors now. Klip dagga are giants and a bit stronger and smokable but you will not find that growing wild. I just bought the seeds pretty cheap though, I have 2 growing indoors and like 98 more seeds still! lol!


First pic is "common" motherwort,(there's a few different kinds) second is Klip dagga

Oh, we are Zone 6, and it is freezing up here. It's been in the 20's overnight. Not much left alive outside..

I bet it does grow here too. Can you recommend any good field guides to herbs? So, it's an adaptogen then? It takes repeated daily uses to start working.

But yeah, I have grown Klip dagga before several times, I just love the beautiful orange flower heads!

Zone 6,brrr, well you got it worse than I do! it has been in the 20's at night here too, but amazingly I still have a half full garden out.
I have to cover it with sheets only when it dips below 30 degrees, but anything above that, my plants are just fine. Of course it's all greens and cold weather crops, because no amount of covering up, will allow me to grow tomatoes or peppers, haha!

That's interesting, maybe I'll try to keep some plants alive next year without bringing them in.. I think adaptogens are typically stimulants? This is not. As I understand it, Leonurine is an Anti-depressant, (or Anti-depressant like) chemical that builds up in your system. Sorry if I was not clear..

"After 28 days of treatment with motherwort, 32 percent of participants showed a significant improvement in symptoms of anxiety and depression, while 48 percent of participants showed moderate improvement. There was also an improvement in blood pressure." (From verywellhealth.com)

Do you have a smartphone? There are free apps where you can photograph plants and it will show you the plant plus any look alikes. They are relatively accurate, and range in price from free to about $20. My fiance is recommending National Geographic Wildflowers of north America. I did read "Medicinal Herbs of the Appalachians" and it taught me faster drying techniques, but idk about using that as a handbook.

I also went to Invasive.org, I'm not so fond of these people, because they seem to demonize medicinal plants and advocating spraying herbicides on them, but they do have a handy list of herbs that can be found commonly in your area. That is how I originally found out Motherwort and other herbs grew here. I took the Liberty of pulling up KY for you.

naw man, check out what adaptogens are, and they definitely have nothing to do with stimulants. Reishi mushroom is an adaptogen that I take,and that is far from a stimulant.

https://www.prevention.com/food-nutrition/a23840175/what-are-adaptogens/

But hey, that is what this place is for, to learn new knowledge :thumbup:

I need to get a motherwort supplement if I can find one :thumbup:

But yeah, no smart phone buddy, I despise them, but those apps sound super helpful. Thanks for at least thinking about me :cool:

Also, thanks for that link, I'm going to check it out now :leocheers:

Bump on this thread, I'm doing a hot ethanol extraction on 20g of kanna. Going to see if that concentrates alkaloids enough to feel anything.

I am interested in California poppy, as a means to help prescribed people with their withdrawals, at the end of every month.

And, I am noticing, when I transplant it, even under ideal conditions, orange droplets come from the tap root.

Fermentation is supposed to be vital for kanna.
