Coleus blumei?

[JungleGhost]

Never heard of this in real life... Can anyone verify?
A few years back I read this and took a few quids during a walk around the park, don't think it did anything for me...

Coleus blumei is now an outdated name. Solenostemon scutellaroides var. Electric Lime tests positive for Salvinorin A both chemically and experientially.

I read about this over 20 years ago and made a cold tea extract from leaves picked from my mother's garden. It produced no effects. Quidding would probably have been the way to go, now that I know it has salvinorin A...

Interesting. Thanks for verifying!

Might start working with these...

cold tea extract from leaves

That would be extremely unlikely to work for a plant containing salvinorin A - easiest might be to chew the leaves, or dry them and smoke them. I've experienced unmistakable but short-lived effects from smoking the dried leaves - specifically ones which would fit the description "Electric Lime".

Well, now you have me wanting to give it another try... there's a huge stand of it in my neighborhood where the dogs all pee . Guess I'll take a cutting.

Traditional use is kinda muddy—lots of clarification has been published over the years. Coleus scutellarioides (current name) seems less likely to have been used by the Mazatec. Regardless, I'll be doing extensive tests this summer with oral ROA; may even combine with Salvia divinorum.

I clearly had some experience smoking dried leaves ; but only from old plant (massive plants from guatemala, several years old), and smoking a king size paper fully packed ; the effect would show in the mid-state before dreaming, a nice portal opening for half dreaming half lucid state; at times i had some spectacular effects, but very hard to replicate or differentiate from a (very nice quality!) placebo.

I have access to at least a pickup trucks worth of leaf each fall when I remove annuals. Honestly kicking myself I didn’t take some home and extract. I have plants but I’d rather just use stuff I have to remove at work in bulk. Project for the fall I guess.

I've powdered enough to pack seven or eight capsules, but it only made me slightly tired. Could have been placebo.

Someone on Reddit recently posted about making 80x and smoking it with zero effect. Unlikely, but perhaps the actives (if there are any) are destroyed by heat.

I'll be doing some serious testing this year.

We also have a number of varietals to sift through... I imagine some will be active and some not. I also wonder if plant maturity might have something to do with it – like if you picked leaves from a plant with a thick, woody stem, would these pack more of a punch?
