One unusual psychoactive herb that I am thinking of ordering and trying is Intoxicating Mint (Lagochilus Inebrians) which is a type of mint that is used to make a tea or sometimes smoked in countries like Uzbekistan and nearby countries.
It is said to be mildly intoxicating but very few people know anything about it.
I read some Erowid reports of a few people trying it and saying it has mild but nice effects.
Here is some info I found on it:
"The effects of the plant have been largely attributed to the diterpene lagochilin. The closely related compounds lagochilin-3-acetate and lagochilin-tetraacetate are also present in the plant and might contribute to the overall effects. This herb also has hypotensive properties (i.e. it lowers blood pressure)."
Now, I don't know what a "diterpene" is but the one major question I had for anyone who does is do you think this stuff could be safely taken with an SSRI?
I'm on Lexapro and so I can't take anything that is an MAOI, an SSRI, or which significantly effects or increases serotonin.
From what little I know it doesn't SEEM like this stuff would be, but I still don't know.
If it's NOT any of those then I assume I could safely take it.
Has anyone on here ever used this stuff?
Anyone else know anything about this or anything about diterpenes?
Thanks
