yea really all SWIM is doing is mostly speculation.

yea some other analytical approaches should be taken to answer this question. however thats quite a task. i wonder if the group that isolated the compound will report on its biological activity anytime soon. seems worth investigating.

however SWIM finds no subjective difference in the effects between jungle spice and white spice except the potency varies (a lot) and jungle spice comes on a bit slower. those were the only differences noted. also note that SWIM used the same batch of mimosa when doing these experiments.

so with what whiteraste brought up it could be that SWIMMers are extracting different strains of mimosa that have some different alkaloids. As far as SWIM knows two types of mimosa are around mimosa tenuiflora and mimosa hostillis but its been speculated that these are both the same species but perhaps there are different chemotypes of mimosa that contain some different alkaloids.
