SWIM is now free to give it a go (the wife just got home).
He just tried 2 ml of Elemi X in 1 cup of whole milk sweetened with 2 teaspoons of sugar. The taste is very light. It actually tastes pretty good. SWIM was expecting it to be much stronger tasting. There is no eucalyptol flavor present. It's sort of a light nutmeg, flower-like taste.
EDIT: about 1 hour later, the effects are present. There's mild euphoria, but honestly, SWIM expected it to be stronger at this point. Maybe it's just taking longer to kick in than usual. I'll update this post a little later.
EDIT 2: about 2 hours later, there's a lot of euphoria. SWIM feels fantastic. There's some tingling, and extremely mild visuals. It seems like its taking longer to come on this time compared with his Triple E extract. It feels pretty much like pure elemicin to SWIM, very clean. There's not even the slightest hint of eucalyptol felt.
EDIT 3: about 3 hours later, it’s peaked and isn’t getting any stronger. SWIM had a cup of coffee just a minute ago and it potentiated the effects nicely making the extremely mild visual effects a little more noticeable.
This dose was not enough to be really “psychedelic”. There were no auditory hallucinations which SWIM gets from 2 ml of his Triple E extract, and the visuals were barely noticeable.
This wasn’t as strong as SWIM’s last Triple E extract, maybe 1/2 as strong. I guess SWIM has some very potent elemi oil. However the effect of this Elemi X is really nice. It’s definitely much cleaner. I only wish it was more concentrated.
I assume this Elemi X is formulated to be as strong as “average” elemi oil. SWIM’s oil is definitely stronger. I wonder just how potent SWIM’s recent batch of elemi oil actually is compared to “average” elemi oil?
I wonder if the tiny bit of eucalyptol present in SWIM’s Triple X extract is actually making the elemicin more potent? I know that pure myristicin is less potent than the same amount taken in nutmeg oil. There are other things in nutmeg oil that increase the potency of myristicin. Maybe the same is true for elemi oil, and having pure elemicin means a weaker experience? I’m not sure.
SWIM needs to do more testing with this. It’s definitely cleaner, but not as strong as SWIM’s elemi oil. Maybe there are MAOI compounds in elemi oil?
It’s possible that MAO enzymes in the digestive system attack elemicin. I think next time SWIM will try potentiating it with some harmaline, but instead of taking the harmaline after the peak like he’s done in the past, SWIM is going to take the harmaline with the Elemi X, maybe 5 minutes beforehand. Maybe this will increase the potency.
