So much talk about active barks i wonder if dryed P Vrdis leafe is active enough to try in extractions..?
From what i read it has been used with caapi vine for many years in some south american societys..
It also sounded like it contained quite high amount of alcaloids if harvested at right time of day?

Is it legle and easier to get than our traditional barks?
just curious..
 
Any plant with a high DMT content will fall into the same legal grey-area as MHRB: technically illegal but still easily obtainable. IME, the leaves of Psychotria viridis are not any easier to acquire than MHRB or ACRB. But P. viridis is however fairly easy to cultivate, and it probably grows faster than Acacia and Mimosa species.

P. viridis absolutely has a high enough alkaloid content to be used for extractions, provided one has enough leaf material to start with. There are some great threads on the forum which contain basic outlines for extracting DMT from leaf sources. Here are two of my favorites: Jamie's Iso Tek and AlbertKLoyd's Phalaris Tek. Both use similar methods and both should work for most leaf sources with a high DMT content. :thumb_up:
 
If you grow P. viridis with the expectation that it'll outgrow a Mimosa or Acacia you're going to be in for a rude shock. They are notoriously slow growers even in their native habitat.

The plus side is that you don't have to wait for maturity in order to harvest usable material as with Mimosa roots. Also, it's an understory shrub that requires far less light than either of the other two and it doesn't mind being rootbound in pots. Acacias and Mimosa typically do better in the ground so you have to have a fair amount of outside space for them. But they will rapidly outpace and ultimately get much larger than pokey little viridis.

I didn't mean that P. viridis would grow larger than a Mimosa hostilis or Acacia confusa tree, I meant that it takes a lot longer for a Mimosa or Acacia tree to be mature enough to be harvested and ingested/extracted than it would for P. viridis.

My P. viridis plants grown from leaf cuttings tooka while to sprout little plantlings, but ever since then they have grown relatively quickly.
