ANSWERS FROM DAVID BRILL
SMOKING MIXTURE
QUESTION: My question is this:
You have in your archives a question about Drachasha being sold as a cannabis substitute. As a "substitute" they
mean something that can be smoked that will have some of the same effects as cannabis but not contain any form of
cannabis, therefore being legal. I too have received this solicitation and would like to know if the following alleged
ingredients are Safe, or in fact are they really herbs. For all I know they are just made up words.
The alleged ingredients include Drachasha, Chavana Prash,Trikatu, Black Seed Herb, Hybrid Flowering Turnera
Diffusa, Capillaris Herba, Angelica Root, Wild Dagga mature leaf matter, Haritaki, Shatavari, Labdunum, Neroli,
Unicorn Root, Papaver Rhoes, Dendrobian stems, Calea Zacalechichi buddings, Rue, Amla, Salvia Divinorum, Crocus
Sativa, Lotus and Gokshura cuttings.
They are allegedly core refined, ratio enhanced resins, essences, flower-tops and oils in ratio extractment ranging from
8.5 to 1 to 100 to 1 concentrations I have double checked all the spellings and they are correct as presented to me.
ANSWER: I am sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, we have been on vacation for the past 10 days and
getting back in the grove and catching up on emails is a enormouse task.
It sounds like you are talking about "Kathmandu Temple Kiff", a pipe-smoking product/substitute for marjuana.
The ingredients listed include:
Drachasha
Chavana Prash
Trikatu
Black Seed Herb
Hybrid Flowering Turnera Diffusa
Capillaris Herba
Angelica Root
Wild Dagga mature leaf matter
Haritaki
Shatavari
Labdunum
Neroli
Unicorn Root
Papaver Rhoes
Dendrobian stems
Calea Zacalechichi buddings
Rue
Amla
Salvia Divinorum
Crocus Sativa
Lotus
Gokshura
This is a a confusing mix of common, Ayurvedic and Latin names and terms for plant and plant parts among other
things. Many of the herbs listed were traditionally used for gastric and abdominal disorders, constipation, flatulence,
colic, hysteria, blood sugar control and reduce cravings for
sweets, aid kidney and bowel dysfunction and female productive issues and as an aphrodisiac, but who knows what a
would happen to someone that smoked this concoction.
One of the ingredients Salvia Divinorum is a known psychoactive plant used in Mexico and is probably one of the
active constituents which could get you high. It would be much simpler to buy the plant Salvia Divinorum and grow and
use it yourself. It is not illegal to grow or use it. That being said I will also say that smoking is bad for your health and I
am not a fan of using plants for recreational drugs. I do know agents that sell this plant legally as a member of the
Salvia family and then you can do whatever you want with it.
Hopes this helps
