It’s cool that cinnamolaurine is being looked at by more than just me! I think this is the magic of sassafras.

I think cinnamolaurine is probably oxidizing. Old sassafras doesn’t seem to have much effects after a MEK wash, but fresh sassafras does.

SWIM has sort of gotten side tracked from his sassafras tests and is currently testing Elemi oil. The main active oil in Elemi oil is elemicin which is almost identical in chemical structure to mescaline. It turns out that low oral doses of Elemi oil (3-7 drops) produce effects very similar to mescaline. It’s a beautiful experience, and easily had since you can buy Elemi oil at your local essential oil shop. No extraction needed. The effect is similar to the effect had from fresh MEK washed sassafras, but more like mescaline.
