Black Pepper Changa

Well, this looks to be interesting. I've heard about pepperine and its potential synergy with beta-carbolines and spice before so I decided to try something new.

A rather crude extract of black pepper was made. A week long acetone soak. I evaporated this straight on one of my favourite inactive herbs. Came out a little too strong - black and resinous, should have used greater amount of herb to infuse it. Very strong and harsh by itself, goes well by diluting it with other herbs though. Tastes like black pepper and peppermint at the same time. Effects remind me of smoked harmalas, but cleaner and milder.

Spice will be added when ready for further infusion and SWIM will report on the results :d Might take few days.

Has anybody else experimented with pepperine ? Besides Phlux that is, that's where the inspiration came from.
 
nearly pure crystal pipe xtract is veeeery easy and a very common page of data. grows beautiful xtals. googles first page tells all.
 
SWIM prefers full alkaloid extracts. Impurities add to the experience. Often than not the effects are positive.
 
Hmmm... Some things to consider is that piperine is also -apart from p450 inhibitor and p-glycoprotein inhibitor- a TRVP1 agonist (think capsaicin) which can actually trigger cough reflex so IF it was possible to inhale the smoke of it i personally would avoid it.

Now that "IF": while piperine has a melting point, it does not have a boiling point because it decomposes...To what? I do not know propably into piperidine and piperic acid. Look into it more, i think smoking piperine does not "work" , if "working" is equated to delivering piperine through the lungs to the bloodstream.
 
Ah, no wonder it does, combustion of many materials can make one feel a bit "high" or a bit "different". I wonder if oral administration of piperine or "pepper oleoresin" makes a difference in smoking changa...
 
Indeed, the effect is especially appreciated on aya/pharma journeys :d

Few bowls of mugwort for example.

Yeah, you should really be ingesting this rather than smoking it. Also, pro-tip - after doing the acetone soak, before evaporating it, add excess water slowly to the acetone and you will have beautiful piperine xtals instead of this tar.
