I think it's all a matter of dosage. I think SWIM is extra sensitive to elemicin. Others SWIM knows personally have needed as much as 10 times what SWIM needs in order to feel the effects. That's a giant variance in individual responsiveness to elemicin.

In this way, I think it's like 5-MeO-DMT, in that individual dosage requirements vary by as much as 10 times. No one knows why 5-MeO-DMT is like that. SWIM can get effects with 1 mg sublingually, others need 10 mg or more to reach the same effects from 5-MeO-DMT.

I think we're dealing with a similar phenomenon.

If you took 2 ml of an extract thats equivalent to 7 ml of elemi oil and you're getting effects like what SWIM would get from 0.5 ml, then you need about 10-15 times as much for the same level of effects.

I wonder what causes this.

On another forum I visit there's this user who was pretty much ready to give up on elemi oil until his last trip when he finally experienced some mild psychedelic effects from it. His dose was many times more than what SWIM would need.

I feel stupid for posting dosage information based on SWIM's tests. SWIM usually needs much smaller doses of psychedelics compared to what most other people need. Typically his doses are 1/2-1/4 what others need. I think in terms of elemicin it's more like 1/10 of what most people need.
