Coleus blumei?

[Transform]

i think this plant needs one to work with it slowly overtime and learn what its got to offer.

They say salvia is 'shy', perhaps coleus is her even shyer little cousin.

Never tried salvia but coleus is definitely "shy" lol.

Has anyone made an extraction of coleus? Would a simple alcoholic tincture work for getting at salvanorin?

Salvinorin A is best isolated from salvia trichomes by washing briefly with ice cold acetone. This minimises the carry over of annoying impurities like fats and chlorophyll. If the active component of coleus is similarly contained in trichomes, the same approach would seem preferable. There may, however, be further compounds of interest in other parts of the plants anatomy.

Stuart and anyone else too here is an interesting idea if you feel like it.

If you blended ( or just had a small salad of ) something like broccoli and apples, then placed into this juice or salad a few fresh coleus leaves, and any other leaves if you wanted. probably not rue seeds in this one. Maybe coleus effects do blend well with already healthy foods.
