calliandra anomala & calliandra angustifolia

[genaro]

Swim has a few grams of Calliandra angustifolia leaves and would like to hear more about calliandra species, especially about oral use (tea or else)
Any experience with this one?

some info from the 'legal highs' textfile:
Calliandra anomala is a leguminosae, also known as Cabeza de Angel. It's sap is used by Central American Indians as a stimulant.
An incision is made in the bark, the resins are collected after several days, dried, pulverized, mixed with ash and finally snuffed.
Effects: Sleep inducing, hypnotic (active principles not yet identified)
Also used medicinally for dysyntery, swellings, fever, and malaria.

some info from the webshop swim bought it from:
Calliandra angustifolia, also known as Bobinsana or Quinilla blanca, is native to South America. It has been used by indigenous people as a herbal remedy, but there is little research regarding its properties. Bobinsana is also used as an adjunctive ingredient in various Ayahuasca recipes.

some more info:
Calliandra pentandra has also been used as an additive in ayahuasca brews, tetrahydroharmaline has been found in this specie (but source does not state how much of it, maybe that was only trace amounts)

ps: will report here once bio-assayed

very little is known about this plant, the hypnotic part sounds interesting maybe a little like hypnotic sleeping pill ?
going to look for a supplier to try some.

SWIM has looked into getting Calliandra pentandra, but can't find it anywhere. I’ve read that this plant contains only THH. What about Calliandra angustifolia? Does that also only contain THH? I know a place that sells Calliandra angustifolia extract.
