Hello friend,

suggest me some indoor plants worth growing.

I currently have, psychotria viridis, banisteropsis caapi, salvia divinorum (that is not in the best shape :/ ), some citruses, little acacia I am worried about... What would be interesting plants you can grow from seed? (doesn't have to be though) Can, but doesn't have to be psychoactive...

Hmmm, what is Coleus good for? I found some things, but I am interested in your knowledge :) is var. "Electric Lime" different in some ways?

Vocanga africana seems like fine idea, will think about that.
I am not sure about Aloe vera - i think my mother has some.

I have one Lophophora w. and some dragon fruit, would you recommend something specific? (I am planning on growing some more lophophores)

That's the one with the salvia-like properties.

If you have Lophs, get some trichocereus and get grafting. Loph grafted onto trich makes more pups, and is a great way to use PC pachanoi ("pachanot"). Of course, a nice collection of active trichs is also a great hobby to have.

By "salvia-like", of course I mean that it has effects resembling salvinorin A from Salvia divinorum. Besides noticing this through personal experience (confirmed by a co-experimenter), I thought I had read a more thorough account in Rätsch & Berger's Enzyklopädie der psychoaktive Pfanzen, Band 2 but despite having searched thoroughly, I could find no mention of it. Rätsch's first volume of the same work has an entry for Coleus spp., covering Coleus blumei [syn. Solenostemon scutellaroides] but without mentioning the Electric lime variety, so I suspect I may have read this in a recent edition of Lucys Rausch magazine at a friend's place.
