Strange title for an into huh? Allow me to explain...
Thus far every question I've come across has already been answered but recently I felt I had read/experimented enough to contribute. The difficulties of acquiring mhrb have me looking into growing my own ethnogarden. specifically Acacia Cofusa, and desmanthus leptolobus because of it's hardiness and I believe it produces many seeds so I could do some johnny appleseed/guerilla stuff. I have had trouble finding Lepto seeds but am going to do some wildcrafting on a prarie here in a few weeks when spring's in full swing.
Intro: I'm a reader, skater, alchemist, experienced psychonaut, (moderate relative to users on this site) and everything "I'm" saying on this site is to sound cool, I have too much respect for governments of the world to play in legal gray areas, and always say no to drugs.
Now to explain the title...
I noticed there are still many unresearched plants out there. Even the most promising genus acacia, desmanthus, and the like have species that are unresearched. My idea is instead of ONLY having lists of plants containing dmt, there also be a list of plants that have been researched and do not. Next to each plant name there could be the number of times it has been studied and a place for links to sources. This would allow one person to study a few species while someone else studies another few instead of everybody looking at the MOST promising species and likely repeating work that's already been done. Can't wait for that 2% fluffy fluff cold hardy invasive bush to come around haha. if any of you think it's worth while I'd be happy to do what I can to help.
I was also wondering what evolutionary mechanism dmt serves in plants, and what the precursors are in the plants? I seem to think people evolved to experience these things, in the sense that early people who could experience cannabis, dmt, mescaline and the like had an evolutionary advantage and passed on their genes. But if I'm wrong and say these things fend off certain insects one could guess plants found where that insect is found would have a higher chance of developing dmt. And why I ask about what the precursors in plants is because maybe not all plant species have had their alkaloids cataloged but I would imagine a great deal more would have their enzymes cataloged. So if it is found that dmt plants have a common enzymatic thread, likely a tryptophan decarboxylase and a N-Methyl tranferase then one could guess that other plants with those enzymes would have a higher chance of containing dmt.
This is much longer than I had hoped... But this Idea just popped in my head, (effects of sleep deprivation)
How about adding precursors and all necessary enzymes much like a DNA Replication Machine does and let nature do the chemistry for us? Or adding tryptophan to fertilizer.
