25% and seeds are sold on line http://shaman-australis.com.au information Desmanthus illinoensis: The Illinois Bundleflower is a perennial herb, that grows to a height of 1m with a spread of 0.8m. The stem is erect, slender and branching; the leaves are bipinnate, fernlike and pale green; the flowers are greenish white, globose, up to 2cm diameter and appear in summer; the seed are small, hard flat and brown contained in a pod. Indigenous to North America (southern states), it is adaptable to most soils in an open, sunny position, and is drought resistant. It can be weedy in many areas and frequently appears on disturbed soils. Due to its ability to fix nitrogen from the air it does well on poor soils. Seeds need scarification to germinate. Cover the seeds with very hot water and let soak overnight or until they swell. Pick out those that didn't swell and repeat process with them. Sow swollen seeds immediately in seeding mix, covering with two to three times their thickness. Do not overwater or allow to dry out and provide good drainage and bright light. Should germinate within a few days with pretreatment. Do not overwater and keep humidity low or fungal problems are likely occurr. ................................................................................................. Traditional uses A very important and nutritious forage crop. Leaves are low in alkaloids and are known to have been consumed by tribal people as food. The rootbark has found great interest by neo-shamans as it is very high in tryptamine alkaloids. Roots are usually harvested after 2-3 years, but alkaloid content seems to increase over time. Pharmacology The root bark contains a staggering 25% DMT and 8% NMT, plus minor amounts of N-hydroxy-NMT and 2-hydroxy-NMT . The whole root contains 2% DMT and 0.5% NMT, plus minor amounts of N-hydroxy-NMT and 2-hydroxy-NMT
Fuck yeah. I actually have some bundleflower seeds right now, and I didn't know what to do with them. +1 to you, sir. This is the kind of stuff I like to see here.
Nice.....so I can grow a DMT containing plant that _may_ not need defatting and other stuff that the grasses need. (Is that right? Is it as easy to extract as MHRB.) Also, does regular MHRB contain NMT? Never heard of that either.
Depends on how you wanna do it. Look into acid/base extractions. It's not as hard as it seems at first.
I don't know....have you tried it.... My guess is it's a little harder than MHRB, but maybe not. I know some of the grasses are really hard and definitely need the extra de-fatting step. It also seems like it must have really thin roots since it looks like a small plant. I don't totally understand how you could separate the root bark from the root. I still think it's pretty cool that it can be grown in the cooler climates, and would be nice to keep around in case MHRB became hard to get. (I'm just guessing about it being harder...hopefully I'm wrong.)
do you guys think that the government will succesfully get around to illegalizing most of the DMT containing plants that are practical? it seems like theyd crack down on RC's way before theyd crack down on that or mushroom spores.
No, not with this plant. Theyre all pretty much the same, though. I always defat anyway. Even so, Im sure you could just use the whole root.
