well you know if we were just talking about distilling solvents
you can raid your local not-walmart for like twelve absinthe herbs for twenty five bucks. probably in the Latin section.a marjoram soak or a hyssop soak is cool or a little wormwood. I like wormwood
wormwood has to be bought online or grown. hyssop too. I like don't even know what fennel is but fennel seed is in the Latin section. my attempt to grow wormwood is suxx
you know I would imagine if the shulgin hypothesis as you refer to it as were true wormwood would prevent an allylbenzene from animating by bypassing the liver. alternatively, it would allow it to pass through to do what it may more effectively as itself
I like juniper berries. from here I pass off to you your probably superior knowledge of essential oils for your own absinthe like I read someone used blue lotus? sweet. and you know that soak
It's only all not-walmarts in my country. Fortunately, I'm well versed in locating the herbs I require. The tea merchant at my local market (an actual weekly market, with stalls and everything) sells wormwood, hyssop, fennel, anise, (you get the picture) so I can in principle make anything anytime. It's simply a matter of motivation and priorities.
Considering how disappointed I was recently to have finished my bottle of Jade 1901, this will be (yet another) of my winter projects to bring forward. First I need to finish building the 36" double coil condenser for my offset still head, however. It doesn't look like there'll be any absinthe in time for "Christmas" although a supermarket here sells something that almost approaches acceptable. The Jade 1901 is/was about two orders of magnitude better though.
Wormwood is or can be tricky to grow. I've always found wild specimens to be growing on very stony waste ground in what would be relatively dry, temperate locations. I don't know how that would equate to Florida though.
I've a whole load of documentation about allylbenzenes, plant sources and metabolism which I linked to in an earlier post.
the liver bypass is reminiscent for n me of the harmaline pharmacodynamic property inasmuch as it does perhaps could maybe affect some botanicals in their own manners separately but yo instead of harshing me on the incoherence of such a statement lettuce synchronize such separate world's to produce an endomorphic bioenvironment without liver where all amines run rampant so that the very sight of a cabbage leaf will get you high lol
yes no actual profundities preferred wormwood + banisteriopsis
I have one. the specimin. I want to plant it in Florida and harvest the annual trimmings for you
Well, firstly. it's not all amines that have these kinds of effects. Consider salvinorin, for example. Then we have fatty acid amides (ok, nitrogen present there but not technically an amine) and monoacylglycerols. It seems that nutmeg interacts with the systems that process one or the other of these and this in turn has an effect on the endocannabinoid system which is responsible for a large part of the central effects of nutmeg.
After working on these matters for some time, it does seem almost like "the very sight of a cabbage leaf" will get me high. I found that a nice effect can be obtained by eating an egg with tomato ketchup the day after using nutmeg, for instance.
Thanks for the kind offer about the plant. I point you in the direction of the Share the Seeds website.
