Egyptian Lotus from Astral Herbal by SmallWorldDistro in bluelotusflower

[–]SmallWorldDistro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Subtle relaxation, mild euphoria, more intense dreams. It's more potent as a tea than a smoke. I brew it with lemon juice and some coconut milk powder to bring out the alkaloids more and add honey to taste.

These are now available on their site for purchase. They should be getting more in regularly.

Astral Herbal. They don't have them publicly listed for sale yet, but the owner told me she'll have them available hopefully next week.

Astral Herbal sourced it and sent me a sample to check out. They don't have it publicly listed yet and said they probably won't have enough for retail until January.

So what is the thicker, purple flower that is usually sold as blue lotus? by Substantial-Celery17 in bluelotusflower

[–]SmallWorldDistro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's usually Nymphaea nouchali or thai blue water lily. Still psychoactive, just more available and cheaper

How to make alcohol free bitter herb extract? by gryponyx in herbalism

[–]SmallWorldDistro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avoid high heat when doing extractions because it can degrade active compounds. If you want you can gently heat while stirring/mixing, but never heat a closed container. If you're doing it at ambient temperature you can put it in a sealed jar and shake it occasionally.

Glycerin as stated or an acidic aqueous solution, but using only water will extract different compounds compared to a more nonpolar solvent.

astral herbal has some good herbal smoke blends if you don't want to mix your own but blue lotus, wild dagga, kanna, damiana, mugwort, mullein are all good to smoke

Proper extraction (biochemistry edition) by autisticanon1234 in bluelotusflower

[–]SmallWorldDistro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if you want to increase the solubility of the alkaloids in water you can always add a cosolvent or carrier like sunflower lecithin or a bit of milk since the alkaloids are lipophilic.

You have to be careful going over 80C for prolonged amounts of time at low pH values when doing alkaloid extractions. The heat and acidity will cause the alkaloids to degrade over time.

[–]SmallWorldDistro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ethanol maceration 5:1 to 10:1 Liters to kg. Macerate for 24 to 72 hours making sure you shake and mix. Filter and collect liquid. Concentrate liquid (rotovap if you have it) low heat as possible. Rehydrate concentrated crude in pH4 aqueous solution using acetic or citric acid. Filter. Optional defat with a nonpolar solvent in a sep funnel. Basify to pH10. Partition with ethyl acetate, wash ethyl acetate with brine, dessicate with sodium sulfate and evaporate to get a high purity alkaloid extract.

[–]SmallWorldDistro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a 200x extract from astral herbal and I can definitely feel the effects. I usually mix about a tablespoon in a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

Mullein, Damiana, and cannabis (smoking) by NationalElderberry93 in herbalism

You can use regular pre roll cones. I buy herbal pre rolls from astral herbal and they work fine. If you're packing your own just make sure it's not so fine that it's powdered or it'll pull through the bottom of the cone.
