coleus...any experiences

i chewed 10 leaves for awhile, leaving the juices in my mouth and not swallowing. i started to feel a little heavy, had slight changes in sight, perception and thought process, and a very mild dreamy feeling and relaxation. there were mild cev's similar with similar intensity to weed(mild geometric patterns and faded form constants) but had a distinctive flow of thought, more similar to a disassocative. all of the effects were mild but not placebo. friends who have tried it reported generally similar effects, one said it had a mild sedative, intoxicating effect with a slight dream-like feeling. another told me of slight oevs and moderate cev's, with a warm, cozy, and again, dreamy feeling. all tried it by chewing the fresh larger leaves, no less than 10. there is some definete psychedelic potiential for coleus blumei, it just seems to be inconsistant with how often and how intense it's effects are felt.
 
here's a "effects" list for what is generally felt with coleus blumei. once again, effects are usually mild and can be inconsistant. here's the most frequently reported effects:

common
-mild open and closed eye visuals
-mild relaxation/sedation, general reduction of stress
-shifts in conscious and thought
-warm, dreamy feeling
-mild mood lift or feelings of euphoria
-vivid and/or lucid dreams with good dream recall if taken before sleep
-feeling slightly more heavy

less common
-mild alcohol like feelings of intoxication
-feeling "connected" to surroundings
-nausea
-more apparent psychedelia
-mild feelings of empathy
-feelings of anxiety
-unusual tactile sensations
-laughter, increase in apprecation and awareness of humor
-increased liking of music, bigger emotional impact of music
 
coleus blumei is the one you want. :)

I may eventually try it. Can you dry out the leaves and smoke them like Salvia D.?

I've read on the lycaeum about people making tea out of the leaves or putting them in their mouth like dip/chew or like some people do with Salvia leaves.

I know these aren't Coleus but they still interest me.

Someone mention Calea Zacatechichi? I recommend it- it's the craziest oneirogen I've ever tried. I got a weird concentrate of it with european mugwort from a Wiccan and thought it wasn't doing anything-then I fell asleep! If you've ever wanted to star in an epic hardcore blockbuster with hugely expensive CGI effects, give this a go. The dream I found myself in was like a porn version of Emmerich's "2012"-massive destruction, death and hot girls who didn't want to die virgins....

ime smoking, teas, and other methods don't work. the leaves have to be super fresh and either chewed or eaten(they really don't taste that bad). it really is a tricky plant.
 
I am curious as to whether this plant is worthwhile. If so then a concentrated extract like with salvia,15X or 30X should tell us if coleus is actually active

the active drugs in coleus have to be fresh and can't be smoked. the only real way to get more effects is to consume more fresh plant material. :(

i heard the mayans used about 100 fresh, LARGE leaves(coleus blumei leaves can get pretty big) oraly(i guess they just ate the leaves because chewing 100 large coleus leaves would not be easy). maybe someday when i'm really bored i'll manage to consume 100 leaves, but i don't see that day coming soon...
