Sasparilla is better than grapfruit or even pom juice

[Sentience]

Grapefruit and antihistamines are well known for their potentiating effects, and pomegranate has recently been found to be stronger than grapefruit ....some pharmacists missed this in their education since its recently discovered (by mainstream western medicine anyway).

I knew that sasparillia had a similar effect from some research I did, but maybe I didnt realize just how much.

There is a brand that makes natural gingerale and traditional root beer called Main-Root.....REAL strong. The gingerale burns your mouth, in a good way, as the rootbeer is incredibly rich with natural herbal extracts. This isnt just a bit of 'flavoring', but a real herbal decoction.....It has a really strong dose of sarsaparilla.

So I had one yesterday. Last night, on my normal maintenance dose of pain medication I was nodding really hard, a little afraid actually. Today I only had 1 MSContin and 2 Roxis....half my normal dose. I am once again, tripping rather hard, and I only used my normal dosage.


This might be a really good potentiator. I wouldnt underestimate it though. For me anyway, anecdotally, it was stronger than IV antihistamines or grapefruit. I think there is a realistic risk of fatal overdose if you take an amount that would normally make you nod. I am assuming this effect is primarily from the Sasparillia.....I had a similar effect 6 months ago with the same beverage and ativan.

Try mixing it with pom and grapefruit.

Don't you mean sarsasparilla (sp?)

 

[Sentience]

Sarsaparilla is used as the basis for a soft drink sold for its taste, frequently of the same name, or called Sasparilla. It is also a primary ingredient in old fashioned root beer,[3] in conjunction with Sassafras,[citation needed] which was more widely available prior to studies of the potential health risks of sassafras.[citation needed]

Either spelling is correct when talking about the beverage.

PLANT CHEMICALS

Sarsaparilla contains the plant steroids sarsasapogenin, smilagenin, sitosterol, stigmasterol, and pollinastanol; and the saponins sarsasaponin, smilasaponin, sarsaparilloside, and sitosterol glucoside, among others. The majority of sarsaparilla's pharmacological properties and actions have been attributed to these steroids and saponins. The saponins have been reported to facilitate the body's absorption of other drugs and phytochemicals, which accounts for its history of use in herbal formulas as an agent for bioavailability and to enhancement the power and effect of other herbs.

Saponins and plant steroids found in many species of plants (including sarsaparilla) can be synthesized into human steroids such as estrogen and testosterone.

I'm pretty sure that you can use sassafras essential oil and convert it into phenylamines.

 

[Sentience]

Yep. Actually, the safrole found in the essential oil (removed from most modern root beers unfortunately) converts naturally into trace amounts of MDA in the liver. Combined with sarsaparilla you would get an added effect. Licorice also has estogenic and androgenic properties.

On my normal dosage, drinking some more REAL Sarsparillia....Im not sure that Sioux City has enough to work in any meaningful way, but I might be wrong....I couldnt get up off the cough for about 2 hours.

Im not sure I would describe it as ultra euphoric....it might be if I had something to keep me awake. I was just nodding like I was in a dream state...on less than my normal daily dose.
