So my friend has a shitload Leonotis leonurus growing in his back yard. We've smoked quite a bit of it when it gets dry around here, its not too bad. I can see why people use it as a weed substitute.

But anyways, he told me that he once made a tea using a few clusters of flowers, and said the high was similiar to that of a good vicodin dosage. I didn't believe him, so he told me to try it myself and gave me like 15 clusters of flowers... Thats a shitload :D he must have given me like 300 flowers

So I made the tea and Im boiling it down to a shot as we speak. Has anyone ever tried this? Erowid + interwebz didnt have much info on the tea.

Edit: just took it, holy FUCK was that shit nasty. I barely managed to keep myself for vomiting... I'll keep you guys informed on the effects.

Very disappointing. Felt like the equivelant of 2 beers at most... Oh well :(

try selling it tell them what they want to hear and the placebo effect will do the rest.

you cant be too disappointed. free is free afterall.

good to hear you enjoyed the smoke at least.

Considering it is an irreversible enzyme inhibitor, i wouldn't fuck with it.

Also, by boiling it to reduce it, you reduced some of its effect.

What little i read regarding its action on the activity of creatine kinase, makes me not want to do it recreationally, when i smoked the flowers(6-7 bowls(out of an absolutely clean pipe)) i found the effect to be best described as an unimpressive short and speedy Marijuana like come up.

Considering it is an irreversible enzyme inhibitor, i wouldn't fuck with it.

Care to elaborate?
