we have a ton of this in the area i live in, but ive never tried it, and i have yet to hear a reliable trip report on them. Have you heard anytyhing promising about this plant besides word of mouth? I know it was used by the Mazatecs along with Salvia Divinorum, ut thats about as far as my knowledge on the subject goes...

Well, nothing too promising. I chewed some up upon a friend's urging sometime a year or two ago.. got a head change, but nothing significant beyond that really. Not really worth it in my opinion from what I've obtained a couple times. I think it is active.. but not very.. atleast the strains I've gotten. Beautiful plant either way.

Tea made with large-ish amounts - e.g. 30 to 40 fresh leaves and associated stems - of Coleus (Solenostemon scutellaroides) plant material (stems, leaves, flower spikes) is a gentle but impressive mood enhancer and good for muscular and joint pain (based on anecdotal reports). Effects at this dose level could not be described as particularly visionary or psychedelic but have an empathic/entactic aspect. IME there was however a very clear influence on the level of interior imagining on the visual level such that it was filled with images of the leaves, although this may have been a result of time spent close to the plant while harvesting it.

This plant propagates very easily with stem cuttings so you do not have to kill it off if harvesting. Always pop a couple of cuttings into water in case you find a specimen with particularly good effects. Forming a relationship with this plant by propagating and nurturing it may enhance the effects...

As with many plants, some varieties of Coleus may cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.
