Wild Dagga

My question is: what are the active chemicals in wild dagga? Also is this substance soluble in a polar solvent or a nonpolar solvent? I looked around and couldn't find this info. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What is that and what does it do?

Wild dagga (leonotis leonurus) is an african plant that is smoked to produce mild cannabis-like effects. Personally I smoked quite a bit and noticed nothing. Thats why I posted this question... i'm looking to extract it. Erowid.org is a good site for info on basically any drug you would wanna know about. I think the effects are caused by leonurine(?) which is an alkaloid. I don't wanna waste my time with an extraction if it won't work tho.....

Hey There! Believe me, it don't work! Another myth from 60/70s. I went thru this years ago. Grew a truck load and all I got was a bad cough. Forget it!

did you extract it or just smoke the plant? And did you just smoke the flower tops? I also found it to do nothing, but thought that it just wasn't potent enough. I'm gonna try an alkaloid extraction with some of it, before i dismiss it as a myth. Thanks

I tied it all, smoked tops...bottoms...flowers...dissolved some in alcohol...some in petroleum spirit and nothing. It don't even taste nice.
It looks pretty growing in the garden though.
A nice bit of bud is much more convenient and reliable !
Same comments apply to catnip, those wild marigold things, lettuce opium etc...all crap

wow man that fucking blows

I enjoy the effects of wild dagga on a regular basis. It is much milder than weed, but still a nice smoke. The flowers are the only part worth smoking though.
