Hello everyone, it's good to read you. After a few years without extracting, I have a batch of spice and I want to make a classic Changa (1:1) recipe that I found here on the forum:

30% Caapi vine

20% Mullein

20% Passion fruit

20% Peppermint

5% Calendula

5% Lotus flower

After that, I'm going to venture into studying some plants. From what I understand, DMT creates a phenomenological basis in which we can interact directly with the spirit of the plants that are mixed there. As an Aromatherapy nerd, this interests me a lot because the ancients already said that essential oils are the soul of plants.

I have two questions: I have many infusions that have been stored for months and months with various resins (frankincense, myrrh, styrax, benzoin, in short, a whole shelf of aromatic extractions) in grain alcohol. Has anyone had experience making Changa with this kind of extraction? I ask because the alcohol from these extractions is usually quite sticky, and I wonder if it would be good to smoke.

Another question is about using Brugmansia sp. flowers in Changa. I have a plant in my backyard that provides flowers all year round. How could I prepare these fresh flowers to use in Changa?

Best regards
