I recently acquired some Lion's Tail extract via my buddy. I've tried smoking that extract by using a water bong, placing the extract on top of some aluminum paper and lighting it from the bottom simultaneoulsy sucking in the smoke with a straw and still notice no effects whatsoever. Maybe the dosage is inadequate? I tried accessing erowid and it wont let me through(hates his computer). Can anyone advice me on how to smoke Lion's tail extract????
straight from erowid since it doenst work for you: I received a package of Lion's Tail from a local herbalist and was keen to try its effects. The package contained mainly dried plant matter and a few small flower pieces. I loosely packed two joints of Lion's Tail and sat on my balcony alone and gave them a smoke. The smoke was not particularly pleasant and left a horrible taste in my mouth. T+20. I'm feeling a very slight relaxitive effect. Mainly seemed associated with muscle. I'm sitting inside on my couch and the muscles in my neck feel slightly limp and it's more comfortable to rest them on the back of the couch. (Sometimes I get a heavier feeling of this if I smoke a large amount of Pot) T+35 I'm watching TV, feeling a little lazy and unmotivated. There is a slight pressure on the front of my face, making my face feel heavy. Feeling still very mild. At this point I noticed the material smelt a lot like tea, so I decided to make some tea from the leaves. T+40 After letting the leaves sit in some boiling water I attempt to drink the tea of the leaves. The tea is very bitter and unpleasant, I can only get through a few mouthfuls before i decide to abandon the idea. T+2 hours Effects no longer noticeable. Conclusions: I was smoking mainly leaf material and not a lot of flower material. Flower material is supposed to give stronger effects. For me the effects didn't seem to be that pronouced or very strong. Due to the unpleasant taste of the smoke and tea I would not continue use of this plant. The negatives outweigh the positives. Other notes: I found mixing Lion's Tail with pot quite acceptable. An excellent mixing alternative to tobacco.
Lion's tail creates a lucid state. That's what it really does. At higher levels it may cause some innebriation but with a normal dose: 1.5 joint leaves or a bowl of flowers it causes a feeling of clarity to thought and seperation from normal reality. It goes great with ganja. The green gets you into that stony beingness phase and the tail makes your thoughts clear and manageable. Great for introspection and problem solving. Also you might look into trying lion's ear. It's a smoother smoke and more potent =). Hard to find online but they grow well around SE America. Start lookin around next time you go by some nature and you'd be surprised what you'll find. I also at really high doses of cannabis had OEV's when combined with lion's tail. Got pretty intense too. Almost like a trance where I was slowly becoming aware of something immense. Something glowing brightly from all being, a BRIGHT REVELATION... and then.... my high started plateauing. =(. GL it's a very interesting plant but hard to tell if your high since all it does is make u a lil more lucid. GL!
I've tried a gram of it by myself and it didn't do anything but kill my throat and taste minty-nice. I wouldn't do again unless it was out of a bong or it was mixed with something. IT fucking killed my throat.
