Well, thanks to a tip-off from a member on the nexus I am hot on the trail of researching a new psychdelic, salvia splendens with its own active principle, splendidin. Here is my plant:  I just read that some people are calling placebo on the entire splendidin effect. does anyone have anything to report? Reports: http://www.lycaeum.org/drugs.old/plants/salvia/salvia-splendens.htmlshoe

update: while I will make changa out of the dried spendens flowers, I consumed what I considered to be a "large dose" if I were to smoke the equivalent of salvia divinorum, in a tea. I don't know whether splendidine is destroyed in the gut or not. The leaves are very simmelar, so is the stem. There is a strong simmilarity in smell with divinorium too, except splendens is less minty. The leaves were brewed into a tea, which was drank, and then eaten wholesale. unfortunately no effects whatsoever were noted.shoe

im very interested in this - got access to loads of it - perhaps time to just try the cold acetone trick. antrocles wrote:...purity of intent....purity of execution....purity of experience...

IT IS ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE WILLING TO EXPOSE OURSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANNIHILATION THAT WE DISCOVER THAT PART OF OURSELVES THAT IS INDESTRUCTIBLE.

I just wanted to update/edit: Splendidine is not particularly "new" (1996) but its certainly a little mysterious. Does anyone know if it is even active when taken via the stomach? this may explain SWIM's tea being ineffective. Phlux- An acetone extraction I feel would be valuable, and since its a terpenoid like salvinorin, it should be most soluble. shoe

most that have reported slight activity always say the bonfire/blaze variety is active and the other ones aren't.

That might explain it actually, thanks shoe
