I have this Mimosa pudica that i have raised from seed. Here they call it "Don´t touch me" because the way it fold its leaves and even small branches as it is physically touched (or misted), quite funny to see. Anyway, it have now become over half a meter high and are showing its first flowers. I just wonder as it is a Mimosa, can it contain any spicy alkaloids? Never heard anything about any extractions from this one so im sceptical but i thought i might ask if anyone have done any testing? Wiki says nothing about spice. Its a common plant grown for its looks and it grows like a weed in many parts of the world as Thailand for example. Grower Growing active and sacred plants and mushrooms is fun.
Chemistry and technology is fun.
Anger, violence and restricting rules are NO fun...

Grower I don't believe so, but I also have one and it is a very cool plant! If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

uh... you just made my day. I forgot all about that thread! If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

i believe the issue with pudica lies in isolating mimosine from your product... on a less related note: i am growing hostilis, which is reported NOT to be a sensitive plant, but i noticed that when the plant is misted/watered/vigorously fondled, it does indeed behave as a sensitive plant (folding its leaves, and drooping its branches). the seedling doesn't do this when its really young (Except when you water it), and it might not do it when it is fully mature, but when it is a young sapling, it most definitely behaves as a sensitive plant (so much so that i have seen the wind cause some branches to fold up) My wind instrument is the bong

so regarding the Mimosa Pudica findings in your thread endlessness, do you know if any nexians have tested this plant? interesting that the alkaloids were isolated from fairly young plants - I would be interested to know if the alkaloid types and their levels increase with age, as is the case with a lot of acacia

Thanks for the link. So it isnt very active at least in young stage of growth. I also wonder about this: - DMT did not start to show up in assays until after second year, at which time it was present in leaf and root. (ref trout's Notes)Maybe it can be a source when they are older. Grower Growing active and sacred plants and mushrooms is fun.

I'm not sure if any nexian tested it, but k. trout is around, maybe he can give more details on these TLC tests. In a couple of months when I'm more settled I can try to gather samples and test it. In the meanwhile I think it would be worth a try for others, to test with TLC or at least a small extraction and testing with ehrlich . If results are promissing, great, if not, at least we learn some more about this plant
