I'm currently doing a lot of research on sassafras, as some of you know, a standard tea made from sassafras is mildly psychedelic. There's an extraction tech SWIM is working on in another thread that makes it more psychedelic, but that's another topic.

Is safrole itself psychedelic? This is a precursor used to make MDMA. I've read lots of conflicting data on it. Some say it is mildly psychedelic, some say it is not psychoactive at all. Some say it's a stimulant, others say it's a sedative.

Now with sassafras, which contains a ton of safrole, a MEK wash removes a strong sedative component from the root, making the root a better psychedelic. I believe this sedative being removed by the MEK is safrol. But I don't really know. I know safrole is highly soluble in MEK.

Does anyone here have any experience at all with safrole or oil of sassafras? Is it actually psychoactive? Is it a stimulat or is it sedating?
