I've seen that these plants have some interesting tryptamines in them. What tek would be recommended for an extraction and has anyone seen information on percentages of alks? Kinda interesting , I've got a field near my house with at least two different lespedeza species , datura stramonium, phalaris (some showing nice colorful oxidation in red and purple) , passionflower, horse nettle, mimosa pudica (or microphylla) grows right across the street, a few different types of bindweed/morning glory, psilocybe weilii grows about a 100 yards from the field (not fruiting at the moment though), motherwort and something that looks like it might be related to calea zacetechi . That's quite a few psychoactive plants in a small area.

Sounds like my kinda garden. One would probably be extracting whole plant huh? My friend would probably start with an A/B with defat and pull with toluene and evap and see what comes out, all with an eye towards using coschi's acacia procedure eventually.

If the FOAF decides to do it her primary motive would be to learn a little and make a little contribution to the knowledge base so she'll likely break it down by part, i.e. leaves , stem bark, seeds, rootbark . Or maybe just leaves and rootbark. It's been recommended to wait till fall when the plants begin to turn red.

Some may find it interesting that swims first experiment involved 200 grams fresh lespedeza boiled with a bit of lemon juice. The goal was more an ayahuasca analog (interestingly enough swim found a site where passion flower and lespedeza grow together) and the maoi was rue extract. Unfortunately the experiment only served to yield the information that the quantity was insufficient or the plants too young as no ayahuasca like activity was felt. Some older plants have been located and they'll be sampled next . For the next experiment the material will be dried as 200 grams of fresh material was filled a pot and was trouble to deal with.

[i:2b1fa2bc77]L. bicolor[/i:2b1fa2bc77] A/B on 200g of rb, yielded perhaps 100mg crystal specks at most, and was apparently inactive anyway (undesireable profile, perhaps). STB tek was utterly unworkable, as an ever expanding muddy foam filled the vessel, even after doubling water ratio. not recommended.
