Elemicin

Migrated topic.

I realize there is a topic for this on the graduated member forums, but i wanted to post about an experience i recently had with 69rons beloved elemicin. I had ordered some oil-100% therapeutic grade-but i did not yet have any DMSO for use in separating the elemicin partially from the myrcene and euclyptol(sp?) in the oil. Both myrcene and euclyptol are sedatives and are unwanted, although you'd have to take a very high dose of elemicin before the myrcene and euclyptol cause problems. Nevertheless, still potentially unpleasant.
Wishing to test the oil from my vendor, i took 2ml of it in soy milk as the effects are better when the pure elemicin is diluted ( i believe regular milk is recommended but i was out, so i drank a tiny amount of half and half for lactose ), so i figured it was the same for the oil.
I new the oil was good quality and had elemicin by the smell, but i was wary because of the controversy as to placebo effects. So i tried to resist the elemicin in order to disprove that.
It worked.
It was only 2ml-i did not get any visuals as some say at that dose. But there was a very stimulating quality to it, but not scary bugged out stimulating like the time i took too much yohimbine. 10, maybe 20 minutes after i took it i began to feel mildly buzzed. Then, about 45 minutes later, i was wired. I was talking to my girlfriend over phone, and she said i was a bit hyper.
While it wasn't what i'd call intense, it was pretty strong for only 2ML of a substance that people hold in skepticism. There is no reason for this-elemicin is a proven anticholinergic. But i have tried anticholinergic (deliriant) substances before and that is not how it felt. I have never tried ecstasy, but based on what people say, it felt somewhere in that ballpark, but more electric, thought stimulating, than empathogenic.
The bad part comes the next day when i suddenly felt very tired. I think this is because the myrcene stayed with me. That morning, although i didnt realize it at the time, i was much more awake than i normally am mornings, and i had woken up at 4am from my sleep and had an easy time getting back to bed, but i wouldn't say my sleep was restful. I think that the elemicin buzz got weaker after a couple hours, but carried me all the way to 2'o clock the next day, and when it went out, the myrcene took over and thats what made me feel so tired. I don't normally feel tired like that, i can tell the difference between "wiped out" and "sedated". A
Anyway, the tolerance lasts a week. I would like to experience visuals from this, but next time i will buy DMSO to separate the elemicin from the myrcene and euclyptol to avoid the sedated feeling near the end. Without separating it, i do not believe it is entirely safe to use 5ml or above.
I will report what happens with 5ml, and i hope for visuals.

Thoughts, ideas, input?
 
Low dose deliriants produce mental stimulation for me, and I have always been rather skeptical of elemicin, however after reading 69ron's work regarding this, I'm intrigued and am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now. Please report back with a higher dose, I'd be very interested to see how it was. Myrcene is certainly a deliriant, but maybe elemicin simply isn't present in large enough amounts in nutmeg for the psychedelic effects to be noticed.

Thanks for sharing :)

Good luck with that and please report back!

At this point I would avoid definitions; we really do not know what DMSO cleans out of the elemi oil or whether it cleans anything; whether it leaves myrcene behind, whether elemicin is extracted with DMSO etc we really do not know without some good analytical procedures. 69ron did a good job on the theory part and the dmso extraction may actually work as stated and also change the experience compared to pure elemi oil but he has no way to know exactly what he got and whether his assertions are correct. I am just saying this because I do not want someone's loose observations to end up as being quoted as "facts" through time and repetition. I would love to see these things analysed by more rigorous analytical tests!

Also, the placebo effect is not about trying to resist the effects...it is about your brain having been primed as to what to expect. How do you know that your "resistance" is not weaker than your brain power? Tell a friend to dose you secretly if you really want to minimise the placebo effect.

Very true. I as well would like to see more data on elemicin. Looking back on my experience, i think its pretty clear it was above placebo. I use hallucinogens mainly so when theres no visuals sometimes i cant detect a simple mental shift, like with kratom. But im sure the kratom i tried had an effect on me, just like this. Soon when the tolerance is worn off I will try it again, and would also like to combine with harmine. Unfortunately i dont have any MAOIs right now save for some herbal ones that grow in my area... Anyway, perhaps it is a good idea for my friend to dose me secretly. But i'm not sure how that would work out. Might be hilarious, might be a bad idea. I recognize i wasn't very scientific about it, but i will be next time. I think what 69ron said about it being important to get elemi oil that is pure grade is important.
 
Swim tried 7 drops in a capsule followed by some nuts, fruit and some milky drink.... Swim felt a little whooshy but nothing major... a heady fuzziness for sure but no other effects... bar the fact that elemi oil smells horrible in swims opinion and having that shit repeat on you for like 6hrs wasnt the best.. :cool:

I think it smells great. It's used in aromatherapy you know.
Where did you get your oil? It should be 100% therapeutic grade, and it should smell like nutmeg and wood.
Also, it helps to dilute it, I've heard.

Why it should be 100% therapeutic grade? And why should it smell like nutmeg and wood?

What is the rationale behind the theurapeutic grade, nutmeg and wood smell? What is the difference with the other grades?
