Is it possible to make tinctures using psychedelic herbs and extracts such as Salvia Divinorum (most common example) or would doing so diminish the psychoactive effects of the plant or would it increase it ?
I want a large variety of tinctures, including psychedelics for medicinal purposes. Plus, to have a collection of multiple tinctures could come in handy at any given time.

Hello,
I would recommend making 3 separate tinctures, rather than mixing the herbs together for the extraction. This will help you control the strength and dose of each herb.

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the grate video,but what if you cant drink alcohol,can I use vegetable glycerin, or should I just drop soak drops of the alcohol base tincture in some boiled water , to evaporate the alcohol or would I loose some of the proprieties this way. I read that for example PAU D ARCO can only be extracted with alcohol, and not simply boiling it in water is this true.
thank you

i’ve read many places that grape vodka yields a more superior tincture. I plan on making an alternative sleeping/calming tincture with oats,hops, and california poppy. some people do react negatively to valerian, though it’s been a lifesaver for me personally. skullcap works well with valerian too. Passionflower is great too. i love this stuff!
