Nicotania rustica

[hummus]

Could this be a potential admixture for changa? Apparently it does have quite high levels of harmala alkaloids owing to it's entheogenic use and as an ingredient in ayahuasca. It would be interesting to try depositing some dmt on some rustica leaf and seeing what the effects are. Only problem I can see is it's also very potent in nicotine so it'd have to be in small amounts but the maoi's might not be strong enough then.

 

[Folding Worm•]

yes

 

[Dorge]

it is a good admixture... but you dont work with too much of it at once... and it will not replace the harmala content...

yeah N. rustica is pretty damn harsh on the lungs. i can get a pretty strong nicotine buzz with just a couple big hits

If you don't like the harsh smoke, I would suggest making an infusion you use as a snuff. Leave the leaves in hot water for some time, evaporate some of the water, and the resulting oily substance can be snorted. I was taught this by a shaman from the Shuar tribe in Ecuador, and I must say it is a really good way of ingestion. Burns a little, but the effect is just great. The Shuar shamans pass around this snuff right before a drink of piri-piri, then the Ayahuasca is served.

so it basically a hot-water extraction? or do you snort the actual plant material also?

sorry it takes so long to reply my laptop is broken so my computer access is very limited

 

[Ginkgo]

Yeah, basically it's a hot-water extraction. The plant material should be discarded, but may sometimes be used several times.

Yes, I've learn this tek from them too (not directly, unfortunately)... but they add lemon, from what I know, to nicotiana and water, and they use the leaves like 3 time, from what I know.

I find nicotiana too harsh to smoke, honestly, but surely is an interested and power plant.

great you have completely revived my interest in this plant. i ordered a bag a long time ago but quit smoking it pretty quick because its so harsh. this will be a good way to use the rest of that bag.

Yeah, you are correct! I forgot to add the part about lemon, sorry about that. In my experience, however, it is not really necessary, as long as you make sure the water is kept hot. Doesn't hurt to acidify it though...

Great to hear, mogascreeta! Good luck!
