Lagochilus inebrians has long been used for its intoxicating properties by Tajik, Tatar, Turkoman and Uzbek tribesman and Shamans. A crystalline compound isolated from the plant and named lagochiline has proved to be aditerpene. Maximum quantities of lagochilinus accumulate in plants during flowering and fruit production stages (May-July). Whether or not it produces the psychoactive effects of the whole plant is unknown.
