Misc Scutalleria Latiforica (Scullcap)

[richtern23]

When I smoked Scullcap it didn't do much at all. So I decided to try to make Scullcap butter. I simmered the the herb with butter until the herb looked brown. I made some toast and put the scullcap butter extract on the bread. It didn't taste bad at all to my surprise. About five minutes later a had a very noticeable head buzz. I felt relaxed and my head felt really hazy. It was way stronger than the tea I make on occasion. It made have had a synergistic reaction with the 1,000mg of Lyrica I had taken, but I definitely felt a heavy head buzz for about half an hour from the scullcap and Lyrica synergism. Has anyone else tried this with herbs? I am not talking about ganja butter, because we have all done that, but scullcap specifically.

Anyone had shock like convulsions from Suboxene (Buprenorphine) after excessive chronic use?

I kinda like the closed eye Hallucinations or vivid imagery from Lyrica. Anyone else?

This thread is all over the place man. One topic per thread please.

Regarding skullcap; it's a nice base herb for smoking blends and it apparently does have benzodiazepines/GABAergic agents in it that cause e.g. relexation and sedation. So I'm pretty sure your skulcap butter was indeed active.

Interesting... I was going to smoke it, but I'll try cooking it with butter in a couple of days.

I've found making strong teas out of it effective, particularly if combined with Damina.

Damiana tea has a distinct aphrodisiac effect in tea, I've found. Smoking it gives more of a buzz. But I'll try the combination anyway.

I ended up being very impressed with scullcap last night. Had it in tea then buttered it on bread like the OP, and after a little while I was in a MUCH better, less anxious mood.
