Extracts

[kcar181]

Hey guys. Me again asking general questions

Ok I have Damiana / Wormwood / Wild Dagga / Hops / Catnip / Sun Opener (sinicuichi) I would like to make some extractions to better experiment with these herbs as often it takes generally +4g to get an effect.

I have figured out how to make an extract with Wormwood thanks to Erowid and VerusDeus

For the rest the only info I can find is:
Damiana = is fairly soluble to water.
Wild Dagga = is fairly soluble to water.
Hops = Ferment in Cider Vinegar.
I have found nothing on catnip / sinicuichi. (Though I know you can make tea out of them so I guess they would be soluble to water)

I'm looking for an info or websites on these extracts or better yet any extract info. As far as Hops if I would ferment it in the vinegar would I have to then drink the vinegar? Ugh. Thanks guys.

What up guy. Here's my 2 cents. Wild dagga and damiana have never done anything for me, I consider both of them a waste of time. As for hops, I wouldn't drink any "tea" made from them. There's something even better, they call it beer. I know of people who smoke hops and claim that it gives them a buzz. I grow magnum, columbus and challenger hops because they're a little harder to find and I've tried smoking all 3 of these strains with no effect. I even tried the vaporizer. Coincidentally, several people were discussing at the shroomery, a type of hops that supposedly have something in them that gets you really high, humunus japonicus I think. I think it's all crap and bollocks if you ask me.

I don't know anything about catnip from experience, but I'd like to know how that wormwood hash is. Is it worth the trouble?

Hi,

With Sinicuichi you can make easy an extract , boiling in water , filter the plant material , and leave the water evaporate.
About the other plants i dont know , only catnip and it have a very soft effect , but sinicuichi is strong narcotic and euphoric but have short effects , 1h30 2 hours maximum , but is stronger then weed , I like it.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Sinisuichi sucks. I get the same effects that alot of people report on erowid, ie. very bad "lockjaw" where you keep clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth. Also when I wake up in the morning, I'll have very bed muscle pains ( usually in my legs ) in addition to a sore jaw. It's another one of those herbs that, for me, produce absolutely no positive efeects.

Maybe with some people , i had always positive and pleasant effects with sinicuichi , the problem is to be so short the effects , but people react different.

Well all the ones I posted give me effects. Placebo? I don't think so but hey if I can make myself think I'm high why not That's like people that say "Ha that guy gets drunk on 2 or 3 beers!" Isn't that a good thing?

Wild Dagga didn't do anything till I smoked only the flowers. It's relaxing.
Damiana. It does increase "blood flow". A mix of the two is a little like weed. Very little.
Hops makes me pass out and sleep really easy.
Wormwood is just hard to explain. It does have effects though. I haven't tried the extract yet. Need money first.
Catnip I'm not sure yet. It seems to make me sleepy.
I tried galangal 2 or 3 days ago. Has a bad body load. Felt nauseous all night and my heart was racing. The effects were mostly lying in bed thinking ok this is odd a little boring. I didn't feel like moving AT ALL. That's about it. Tastes horrible too.

I think a lot of people don't get effects due to their dosage. Which was why I wanted to try extracts. I'm planning on trying Sinicuichi tonight. Hopefully it will agree with me.

How long did the muscle ache last brew?

 

[kcar181]

Well Sinicuichi is amazing. I didn't get any of the adverse effects. Also didn't get many of the normal "advertised" effects either though. Slight yellow vision but it was so slight I could have just thought it was yellow. No audio hallucinations. No Pre-natal memories. It was more like the weed memories of omg what was I just doing. Actually it was the closes "alternative" to pot I have found. Doesn't last long though.

Glad you had a good experience. I have a small sinisuichi plant and most of my friends have tried it. I don't think any of them have wanted to do it again.

As far as narcotic teas go, kratom is all I need.
