No, I'm not the type to do anything out of textfiles/cookbooks/internet rumors for a buzz, but it's listed on Erowid as containing psychoactive carboline alkaloids(acting as MAOIs) which produce a short-lived high which in medium doses is similar to marijuana. http://www.erowid.org/plants/passionflower/passionflower.shtml

My mom's got heaps of it growing on a fence out in her garden. The fruits are delicious(if a bit hard to get around the seeds) and the flowers are beautiful:

Can you really smoke this/make it into a tea to get high? It'd be nice to try it out (once!) if it does.

I don't see why it shouldn't "work". The effects might not be great but at least it'll relieve your PMS...

Use it to potentiate a mushroom trip.

I have it grow too. I have passiflora incarnata though, it tastes better. Yes, it can be smoked or drank, but the buzz is week. It works wonders as a poteniator though. If you smoke a joint of the flower petals (the most potent part) then have some weed, or shrooms, or salvia, etc. The high is explosive, you will never feel this good ever again, almost orgasmic.

BTW the MAOI present in passion fruit/flower is Harmaline. Good times.

Passion flower is the same as passiflora incarnata...passiflora incarnata is just the species name...?

Thanks for the info.
