Alchornea Floribunda-1st time-careful testing

I just did a little preliminary exploration with Alchornea Floribunda AKA Iporuru, first, an amount of the 5x extract I have equal to the size of a split pea, to make sure there was not going to be a severe reaction to the active constituents (although I am still not too happy about that anthanillic acid that is said to be present in the rootbark)

Actives include yohimbine, alchlorneine (said to be the main active) and alchorneinone, along with some other alkaloids I believe.

I ingested roughly 1/4g of the powder, which is dark reddish brown, and to me, tasted quite pleasant, with a rather nice scent, strongly reminiscent of cocoa, slightly sweetish taste, swallowed it wrapped in a silver ultrathin cigarette paper.

Some slight stimulation was noticed, and greatly increased concentration and enjoyment of practicing on my guitar, decided to plant out a few of my largest opium poppy seedlings in pots,
and sow a tray of peganum harmala seeds, so that the plants could perhaps, benefit from the general aura of gentle stimulation

I felt, at around 1 1/2 hours post ingestion, a slight euphoria and slight spacyness, but nothing more, presumably due to the very low dose taken.

After 2-2 1/2 hours or so, effects dissappeared entirely, absolutely no tweakiness or undesirable stimulation noticeable.

Conclusions:

The material definately IS active, although I will not know the full extent until further bioassay has been undertaken, which will take SLOW and cautions increase in dosage, as effective doses for this particular entheogen are simply not available.
 
Thanks for the work, its good to know people are finding new entheogens, how did that fish go (if i remmeber correctly you were planning on trying DMT fish or sumthin).

peace
 
Researching largely unknown, and traditional entheogens is somewhat of a hobby for me, and yes, I do intend to take the fish heads for a test-drive, but that is going to have to wait until I have sufficient money to afford them.

I will post a report on them, when eventually I get round to it, if they prove active.
 
Yeah, go slow with something as esoteric as that. Yohimbine you say? Do you know how much? Yohimbine itself is quite stimulating and psychedelic, and a mild MAOI (you prolly already know this given your hobby, which is mine as well i just haven't tried many of the things i've researched)
 
Awesome man, appreciate your daring research and post regarding it. Would be interested in hearing more if you plan to increase your dosage... its good to hear you are taking every safety precaution possible.
 
Yeah, I definately intend to increase my dosage, carefully of course, when I get round to doing so, I am having a little rest after my recent experiment with methylone, but there will be more reports on this forthcoming:)
