the weight was of freebase and SWIM's not saying anything is wrong with the technique and figures his technique is fine since he can get STRONG effects off of only 40mg THH (without DMT).
SWIM almost never goes higher than 30mg for THH (30mg is highly stimulating on its own) except for when activating sublingual spice, in which he would have to agree with mumbles on that point.
Spitting out has never seemed to lessen the effects, while SWIM is grateful of the suggestion of spreading the drops and seperating the doses into small batches, etc
He thinks that from there he will make his technique his own, one that won't require such detailed coaching.
Whatever works. It just seemed like a lot of spice to SWIM.
SWIM will do additional tests likely with rue harmalas to figure out the ample time before spitting out, he figures the 5 minutes he waits is probably more than is needed.
See, this is one of SWIM's strongest points of contention, as he never waits and yet manages full pharma experiences (comparable to 80mg DMT w/ 200mg harmaloids orally) from less than half the normal oral amount sublingually.
SWIM is just saying that just like with pharma, LSD, psilocybin and most psychedelics, people have various tolerances.
Just like any people can get full OEVs off of only 30mg of DMT via pharma while SWIM's roomie gets almost nothing off of 135mg and SWIM himself wouldn't be able to feel 30mg (except some nausea).
Just like SWIM was rendered completely immobile and useless while tripping his face off on 3 hits of LSD, and the same batch his friend took 4 hits (at the same time) to even feel it.
Tolerance is tolerance and SWIM thinks it should be understood and noted.
This is still a possibility, but people's reports of their techniques don't have SWIM convinced. Unless the techniques are nearly identical, how can the dosage be compared? SWIM used to take pharma in capsules, and while the experience varied greatly, it was usually a bit weaker than it should have been. Then he would take harmaloids in a shot, wait for period, and take DMT and more harmaloids in a second shot, which was more reliable but still not strong enough. It wasn't 'til he started simply taking it all in one shot that he reached the level he had been striving for, but still not so reliably as he would hope. During this development, his dose of spice reduced from in excess of 100mg to around 50mg while steadily increasing in effects as he improved his technique.
SWIM wasn't satisfied with his technique for oral pharmahuasca, just as he wasn't satisfied with the standard methods of sublingual administration, so he improved his techniques and was completely blown away by the difference it made. So far, no one seems to have replicated SWIM's technique and reported it, and it's of little surprise to SWIM, judging by the quality of reported experience and the amounts in use. SWIM has tried many methods and now uses as little as he has ever used to greater effect with the development of his technique, so he believes that if someone were to replicate this technique, they would notice a vast difference in the experience of whatever amount they chose to take; only then could SWIM begin to consider the possibility of personal tolerance variations.
SWIM simply wouldn't use any of the techniques reported, as they seem to include too many variables and require higher doses than he would like, considering his own experience. The biggest variable that SWIM is not comfortable with is time: SWIM doesn't allow enough time for anything other than absorption to occur (not enough time for dilution, thus no possibility of swallowing and reduced chance of incomplete absorption) and does not spread out the doses, timewise (spice chasing harmaloids as soon as possible). SWIM's techniques work well, and if he had any indication that anyone else's technique was more efficient, he would attempt to master that technique.
