Have you been seeing these around lately?
I just happened to see them in a beer store and a campus connivence type store.

At first I thought they had found a new way to sell JWH-type products but after some web research they just seem like a junk blend of OTC sleep/anti-anxiety herbs.

Waste of money IMO, and then there's stories like the one I posted here, with a child being endangered by eating it. Perhaps its reckless to sell a product in this form, even though it says recommended for adult use only.

Having nearly 8-mg of melatonin in the brownie is just overkill. Melatonin is generally recommended in the 1-3mg range and is active even down at a few hundred micrograms.

i've botten jwh-018 brownies in a store before called "lazy cakes" advertised as a relaxation brownie. It had melatonin in it, but the head shop clerk also informed me that she was 100% positive it was a "spice" brownie. Got me just as high as a oral jwh dose except with more gastrointestinal discomfort
 
Melatonin has been given to people in doses of 1000 mg. It shows very little toxicity. I don't know why the article makes it seem so dangerous. I don't think they've even found a LD50 yet.
 
Wouldn't that be funny/suspicous if the headshops sold $20 brownies that are "not for human consumption"


What would you do with that?
 
I figured it'd be too bold to contain JWH's for the "not for consumption reason"
Spice was sold as incense, not for consumption. I figured if it was being sold to be eaten then it would have to disclose all ingredients so secretly putting JWH's in it would be a major FDA violation.
 
Its just a big sleeping aid pill. There is no jwh in lazy cakes, i dont know why people think there is. Granted i have yet to have one but i can see this being one of those things they just put on the market so stupid stoners and jwh enthusiasts will buy it assuming it actually gets you high.
 
im fairly sure it does indeed contain jwh. I just straight up got pretty high, and i mean cannibiniod high. I am experienced with oral jwh dosages and it was exactly the same. ( Calm, with less/none paranoia becuase the effects hit you slowly, but still cannibiniod bliss.)

I in no way became tired.

I am also experienced with valerian root, melatonin, and passionflower; and it was a completely different experience entirely. (lazycakes claim they have these ingredients, and they might but i find it hard to be able to put passionflower into a normal brownie.)

Definitely a topic that could use some debate, perhaps, as i've seen no resolve anywhere else to this issue

the packaging says the brownie contains 3.9 mgs of melatonin, I don't know where you got this information from

and I saw these about half a year ago starting to pop up around the shops and marts in my city. picked it up, and searched in the ingredients saying aloud to my friend "most likely contains melatonin"... and lo and behold it does

I wonder how they taste? I haven't bought one yet
 
When government scientists set out to find melatonin's "LD 50" - the dose that's lethal to 50 percent of the animals receiving it - they couldn't make a rich enough concentrate to kill a mouse. And when researchers fed human volunteers 6 grams (6,000 mg) of the stuff every night for a month, stomach discomfort and some residual sleepiness were the only reported side effects

That's from a vendor, but it sounds reasonable. During a heroin detox I ate about half a gram (100 pills) of the stuff and took a short nap.
 
I haven't eaten one or picked it up to look at the packaging even but if you read that last link I posted they state that the brownie has 3.9mg melatonin / serving but that the package contains 2 servings. Ie one brownie has 7.8mg of melatonin.

so thats where I got the 8mg from.

When I said overkill I didn't mean harmful, rather useless. I don't find melatonin to be particularly sedating. Its mechanism of inducing drowsiness is indirect (compered to hypnotics and anti-histamines). And I am fairly certain, in my research about sleep and insomnia, that I have read before that melatonin's response curve isn't linear.

Ie, if taking 1-3 mg doesn't do much for you then taking 100mg isn't going to make it do anything more. High dosages don't induce "more" drowsiness then a regular 1-3mg dose. On top of that there has been some concern that repeatedly taking high doses of melatonin could alter your bodies' natural production of the hormone by the pineal gland. This doesn't really matter for the brownies as I doubt people are gobbling them down 5 a day for a month straight...

If they contain no JWH-esque compounds then I see no reason to ever try them. I've had melatonin, passion flower, valerian, you name it herbal sleep aid I've tried it. Even if they did contain JWH-esque I probably still wouldn't buy one, its more just my curiosity.
 
dude what in the fuck is wrong with news people


it is so hard to od from melatonin

these people are idiots


it is a powerful antioxidant which is good for you and has other awesome qualities

in fact: "it has been shown to increase the average life span of mice by 20% in some studies."
 
My cousin bought 2 lazy cakes last weekend & ate one & said it wasnt all that. The guy who sold it to him at the headshop said there is no JWH in the cakes.

Melatonin is rather flavorless, so I imagine OK considering. Worth actually eating...?

Well now that half the population thinks jwh is actually illegal he probably wanted to stray away from the bad publicity. Or not. idk
 
The aminoalkylindoles are illegal now. They were controlled by emergency order. That's at the federal level, though, which local cops don't enforce. Then there are state laws, which vary enormously.

If anyone remembers there was quite a long period of time when people honestly believed that Spice and co. where totally herbal...
