Drug info - Calliandra angustifolia (Bobinsana / Quinilla Blanca)

[genaro]

Material used:
Calliandra angustifolia dried leaves from Peru.

Dosage, preparation and use:
One gram of the dried leaves, finely crushed, and mixed half with tobacco so to ensure good burn (one cigarette and a half of tobacco was used)
The mix was smoked as joints (two joint as the all material wouldn't fit into a single one)
Each toke was kept in the lungs for a few seconds before exhaling the smoke.

Quality of the smoke:
Let's say the smoke is not harsh and the taste is ok

Onset: first effects can be felt after a few puffs, so that's about 10-30seconds

Duration of the effects: about one hour (maybe one hour and a half).

Effects description: provides a mild stone with some 'heavy head/foggy head' like feeling, and some sedation, no real ophoria but some slight up in the mood maybe (nothing very pronounced I think).
No pupils dilatation.

Negative effects: None were noted at this dosage.

Conclusion:
I don't know what to say about this one, the stony effect is ok but nothing extraordinary (and of course it is much weaker than cannabis).
I would be interested in trying the plant orally (as a tea), if so I will report (will start very low as little is known about this plant).
Also, some 20x extract could possibly be an interesting smoke.
Note: experimentation with Calliandra anomala (Cabeza de angel), smoked and as a tea, could be of some interest to see how the two species compare.

"are any of the other augustifolia useful for anything??"

what do you mean? I don't understand

"any idea what the active in this plant are?"

absolutely not, but I'd like to hear more about it as I do not like to work with plant without knowing what is in them (no way to be sure it's not some toxic stuff)
