In response to a friend that asked whats the point of smoking anthoscyanin(s):
Hmm, perhaps you're assuming that most ppl just smoke their medicine but really, most ppl that need it for actual medicine use the plant in several ways.. creams, balms, tinctures, pills, edibles, soaps, sprays, dog treats, vape, smoke, drinks, sauces, oils, syrups, concentrates, etc etc.
Your avenue is great and a more than worthy one, you make the world a better place...however, it may exploit only 5-10% of that whole and overall related market or so. I am just aiming to stay thinking a bit bigger picture. I don't sell any of my flowers, they are either consumed by my friends and fam for free or donated to events...but I do hope a hearty marriage of benefits may stem from our ongoing research. We will know much much much more after I do my PhD, haha, but for now, I can say that:
Anthocyanins, the largest water-soluble pigments in the plant kingdom, are a type of flavonoid, a phytonutrient found exclusively in plants. Plants with these colorful pigments have long been valued in herbal medicine for their numerous health benefits.
Additional research shows that anthocyanins inhibit nuclear factor-kB activation, thus reducing the pro-inflammatory mediators that are linked to the initiation of degenerative diseases. *
*Karlsen A1, Retterstøl L, et al. Anthocyanins inhibit nuclear factor-kappaB activation in monocytes and reduce plasma concentrations of pro-inflammatory mediators in healthy adults, J Nutr. 2007 Aug;137(:1951-4.
and YES
It survives many cooking processes, and concentrates well.. including making Rosin, one of my faves, which yes, can go pure red, purple or pink.. or even blue in high ph and metallic situations..
If your customers had this, I am sure they would thank you whether recreational or not!
