| DOSE: |
200 mg | oral | Sceletium tortuosum | (tea) |
| 50 mg | sublingual | Sceletium tortuosum | (extract) |
| BODY WEIGHT: | 135 lb |
There is not much to write about here, but both times I have tried the extract the results have been little more than a placebo. From the tea I experienced a possible mood lift (very likely placebo) and from the sublingual dose I experienced no perceivable effects at all.
This is usually marketed as a pleasant/subtle high, but I would argue it is not a high at all. A very high mesembrine extract would probably produce better effects, but I doubt even that would reach a recreational level.
