Title: Doping with mucuna pruriens extract?
Post by: ngnyus on July 20, 2007, 12:24:24 AM
I have a well growing mucuna pruriens plant which reportedly contains a very small amount of dmt and high concentrations of L-dopamine  I was wondering on you're opinion of making a simple alcohol extract to "dope" my trich's (and maybe even my bishops cap).  I don't really feel like going through the A/B pull just for fertilizer, what do you guys think?

DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide)
could be used as a solvent
to permeate the skin
perhaps also the skin
of a plant teacher
theoretically and hypothetically
dmso would be absorbed and
carries the extraction with it
is alcohol a good solvent
for the extraction?

thanks for the info, I'm not sure if alcohol would be goods enough for the extraction, I guess I could do a pull, but I don't know if it's worth it.

What conditions does macuna like, ngnyus? Where did you get the plant? I tried to sprout some seed but got nothing. I hear it's extremely hard to start seeds. About how many seeds did you get from your plant and how big is it?

Good luck on doping your plant. You may discover a new tec.

These things are EASY to germinate, sorry you must have got some bad seeds, PM me if you might wanna trade for some or something, I have mine in a half wine barrel and its gotten pretty bushy in just 3 months, nothing special just stirred in some steer manure into potting soil and watered about twice a week.

I seem to remember reading that using L-dopamine to bump up mescaline levels  in cactus was BS.  I personally don't know one way or the other but if you haven't found good solid information from someone whose done it in the past few years, I'd be weary of investing alot of effort on the endeavour.

Yeah I've heard mixed things about doping cactus...

However Shulgin and other reputable folks have reported that Mushrooms can take compound x and making it into 4-OH-X, I believe. So if you dope that with DMT, maybe you get Psilo?  Or you could use a synth compound and make a semi-synth compound that nature has never before created.

To view Shulgin's comments, see 'Ask Shulgin'.

I've read of doping cacti plants with PEA precusors before, but does puting such in the soil near the bottom the the cacti work?  Has anyone here tried that?
