Anybody try Entada rheedii yet?

[godskitchen]

Here is some info:


The seeds of this large woody climber are frequently washed up on the beaches of the east coast of southern Africa which is why they are sometimes called Sea Beans. It is a large creeper growing in most forests in central Mozambique and naturally occurs from near Durban northwards throughout tropical Africa and into India, Asia and Australia.


The extraordinarily large seeds are carried or worn on necklaces and pendants as lucky charms, but tobacco made from this seed has been used for ages to help induce vivid dreaming.

The large bean like seeds are carried and worn on necklaces and pendants as lucky charms. Tobacco made from the seed has been reported to cause vivid dreaming. The seeds have various medicinal uses, including topical applications in an ointment for the treatment of jaundice.

These beans can be found online and in some seaside shops, I picked some up in Cornwall, England. They are called SeaBeans, "Lucky" Beans, or African Dream beans.
Something you might like to consider is the myths of "Fairy Stories" which often relate tales that make no sense to the 'straight', but might from the perspective of the 'heads'.
The one that springs to mind in this case is the story of Jack and the Bean stalk.
You may recall the story, Jack trades his family cow for 'magic' beans and is scolded for his folly by his Mother. Later he allegedly plants the beans and ascends a vine and 'sees' giants. Later still he turns up with a bag of gold.
If you realise that to this day in remote parts of Siberia you can still barter one magic mushroom for one reindeer then you realise this was perhaps simply a bartering form of a drug deal going down.

Anyone know what active compounds they contain?

 

[WeedMyLips]

There are no modern definitive scientific research reports on Entada rheedii, several active compounds, essential oils and alkaloids have been discovered and sited in the literature. It is believed that the plant produces, in varying quantities, saponins, fatty oils and other potentially psychoactive alkaloids. One report claims that the seeds can contain as much as 18% essential oils, which may account for this plant’s magical properties and it ability to help induce lucid dream states...SO there ya go.
