Hi, ND and u/misteryouaresodumb — I hate to bother, but plz do answer if possible: given your dedication to the noot scene and your determination for purity and always rising standards when you find something that works, have you considered the utility and economic feasibility, re: an idea as simple as a standardized saffron capsule (especially if whole crocus, meaning not an extract, given all saffron extracts I have tried suuuuuck, compared to regular saffron) ?
I would rather buy it from you (at ND), than Mehr saffron, after all. Plus I would stop forgetting or failing to notice when I run out. I have so many fancy empty saffron containers, all empty, in my spice drawer. It should move its way to my noot cabinet!!!
I think it’s worth it,
Given
It isn’t too easy for any given person to weight out a consistent saffron pill, at (anywhere from) 40 to 80 mg (very hard to measure accurately, when measuring out pill to pill; esp with the mess that would be made from breaking dried crocus, leading to potential wasted product if encapsulating as the typical consumer), no greater than 80mg, which I find optimal, and enough to always make me satiated, centered, harnessing my focus.…

I wonder why all extract you have tried suck? Maybe they are all just shitty extracts. It might not be a function of the extraction itself, but of those specific ones. Saffron has been on our list, but I want to understand it more before we jump down that rabbit hole. It would be nice to understand the individual compounds leading to the mood effects, and their mechanisms.
