I’m doing some experimenting with various psychoactive botanical products, so I’ll be posting reviews for several different suppliers and products. 
This was my first order with Schmerbal’s. I was quite pleased with the transaction. Free shipping for orders over $35, and they shipped out less than 24 hours after I ordered. 

I purchased the 100:1 nelumbo nucifera powdered extract, 50x nymphaea caerulea resin extract, and kava extract 30%. I won’t go into detail about the effects of these products(I will be making detailed reports on each of these plants, but those will get their own threads), except to say that each one was potent and effective. I haven’t tried any of these species before, so I have no point of comparison. I wouldn’t know the difference between 10x lotus resin and 50x. I can however say with confidence that all three botanicals did what I hoped they would do. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Schmerbal’s again. 

 
I've bought their Lotus before, the flower and the extract, and both were high quality and worked fantastically!

 
Looking forward to reading about your experience with these. I am always interested in learning about substances of any kind. I have never heard of two of the items you mentioned. I have read a tiny bit about Kava.

 
@pixiechic I’ve been meaning to do a report on lotus, I just wanted to wait until I had lots of experience with it so my report would be more knowledgeable. I’m going to try the petals and stamens next(instead of resin or extract), and make them into a tea. I’ll try smoking them as well.

Kava Kava is another matter. I’ve since done a bunch of research and experimentation with kava, and one of the first things I found out was this: kava extracts are NOT a desirable form to consume kava. At least not according to the experts. You want just the regular dried powdered root. Supposedly it provides a more well rounded or recreational experience. A lot of kava extracts use unsavory ingredients -either very low grade kava, parts of 44 kava plant besides the lower root, or other stuff that isn’t even Piper methysticum. So I have gotten my kava at places that specialize in just the one thing, like Kavafied or Kalm With Kava.

If you have any questions about kava or lotus please let me know :)

@LunaLovegood thank you!! I'm determined to learn more about non pharmacy "meds" (Kratom, Kava, etc) Not because I am trying to avoid pharm meds but just to have the knowledge of what is out there. :)
I have a lot of learning to do but I think it is a topic worth my time for sure.

 
i find the lotus flower extracts very interesting, i know the flower is to mild but the extracts im going to try i appreciate the site LunaLovegood this is just what im looking for and have often concidered the kava extract as regular Kava has always only made me feel a slight nautiousness but i suppose were all a bit diffrent, micronized kava iv got a sick feeling from and im losing interest in if it werent for seeing islanders repeatedly using it id of already given up on Kava maybe im using the wrong sources and should try around but paying to get a nautious feeling gets old quickly, id love to see more on the lotus flower extracts and california poppy extract if anyone out there experaments with them.

 
@Deeps_MindQuest me too. What I’ve found with all the different herbs I’ve tried is that they are highly variable in potency, even from the same source.
 

Kava I tried. I bought an 8oz bag and then a 2oz jar of micronized. Prepared them faithfully every day for a couple weeks but never felt anything until the last time when I used a stick blender instead of traditional method. That time I had a slight buzz, but not enough to be able to justify spending any more money on it, as I’d already spent $50. If I had wanted, I could have had myself a lovely little bender on any number of other substances for $50. I’ll probably try it again eventually. From what I’ve heard it’s right up my alley. But I haven’t had the money to spend on something where it’s a crapshoot whether it’ll do anything.
 

Same applies to lotus. I’ve had really good lotus extract, and I’ve had really disappointing lotus extract. From the same source even.

im going to try the 50x blue lotus extract it looks very interesting and iv been all over the youtube reviews but cant find it strong enough to actually interest me but the site you found has some real interesting extracts, tell me what you thought of there extracts if you can i just love reading reviews and theres not many sites that have such info i really hope its within the rules here to hear about such experiences, im an old deadhead that toured around America repeatedly back before Jerry Garcia died and it all came to an end.. but i was always interested in plants and extracts and blue lotus flower extracts looks very promising id also like whatever reviews you have if any on whatever else you found worthwhile on Schmerbal’s Herbals site, iv subscribed to it but doubt there will be much info as even there news sections blank, i wish there were more forums or more people on this 1 that had reviews as i could read them for weeks without it ever getting old, but i suppose experience is the only real way to actually know. anyway if you try anything thats worth giving a review on please dont hesitate to report back i for 1 am very interested its great to read about extracts and this certainly is an interesting site you found. when i finally get my paypal back so i can at least try some of there things ill report back here with reviews as well.

  1. 3 @ 3ak: @xenxra damn shame, can't find any of the rc stims
  2. xenxra @ xenxra: @3ak mostly, will prob be gone entirely by end of summer imo
  3. F @ frozenSR17: hope everyone has a nice start 2 their weekend. "keep it one hunnid," as someone once said to me
  4. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  6. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  10. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  13. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  14. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  15. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  16. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  18. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  19. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  20. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
