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 other compounds of interest in other parts of the plants anatomy.
