      Probably shouldn’t experiment with large doses of barely understood substances… But if someone really wanted to.

      You can buy Incensole Acetate from chemical companies, but it’s like hundred dollars for a few milligrams. Would have been cool for it to be cheap this form because you could probably use it in a passive nasal inhaler device at that strength.

      However you can buy 4oz of frankincense resin for ~$30. I would imagine that will have much more of Incensole than a few mg. No idea if it would be easy to inhale in vapor form or if you would have to burn it.

      No idea how reputable these sites selling it are, but here is one.

          Yeah, but they weren’t inhaling an isolate. It’s all about the dose.

          Edit: I misread your comment. I don’t know why there isn’t more research into the pathways frankincense uses to generate its effects. Probably because it’s rarely been used in a directly applied medical way instead of a communal or ceremonial use.
