Merry Christmas to you all!
OK, let me start with the Ayahuasca part.
Having experienced the enlightening effects of smoking freebase DMT, I decided to try give Ayahuasca a try. In hindsight, my recipe could have done with some fine tuning (thanks House for your input here!), however the experience all wasn’t lost...or gained!
I woke early and decided to brew up a mix of 30/30 grams of Chaliponga / Black Caapi Vine for the brew. The process to make the brew was simple and took approximately 6 hours - I brewed, filtered, reduced, re-brewed, filtered, reduced, combined, reduced, re-filtered until I had 2 standard cups of a translucent reddish-brown liquid.
I sipped the brew over the course of 45 minutes whilst sitting on my sofa in a comfortable environment listening to Banco De Gaia. The smell of the tea reminded me of walking through my cousin’s farmyard, whilst the taste of it reminded me of an avant-garde Chinese tea I once tried a few years ago. In fact, one might say it was strangely pleasant to drink.
An hour passed and no purge. Slowly but surely I started to experience an increased sense of awareness. Colours around me started to shine and become vibrant, like watching a movie shot in Technicolor. It wasn’t like a full on spice experience, more like a mellow come-on, gentle, but potent.
After two and a half hours, I felt really contempt – attached to the sofa with a kind of out of body floating effect, not out of control but perfectly aware of what was going on and enjoying the music that was playing.
There were some fractal looking shapes in my peripheral vision throughout the experience, but nothing too distracting – or intriguing for that matter. I recall thinking that my dose was 20g less than the original recipe I had based my dosage on and that I could do with the “volume” turning up on the effects. That wasn’t to happen, however I didn’t feel disappointed.
Approximately six hours elapsed before I hit baseline.
For next time, I will (based on recommendations from a few people so far) prepare a 10/50 gram mix of Chaliponga / Black Caapi Vine instead for the brew – any recommendation on this would be greatly appreciated!
Now on to the Jungle Spice section...
Tonight as I was cleaning out my glassware, I came across a specimen dish that had some amber coloured spice residue from an extraction conducted two or three months ago, like the type of material that you get during a DMT extraction, with oily residual left over in the dish. I thought GREAT! Let’s vapourise it and enjoy the festive season with a trip to elf land! I knew it wasn’t pure spice, more likely to be jungle spice, and expected it to be a bit harsh.
Sure enough after a few tokes on the smokey vapour, I was transported into familiar territory!
The important thing that I noticed was that the amber coloured spice tasted EXACTLY like the Ayahuasca tea I had drank a week before – the only difference being that the amber looking spice was prepared from MHRB, not Chaliponga and Black Vine Caapi.
So, my primitive brain started to think – would it be possible to brew an Ayahuasca drink, reduce it down until there was a thick residue left and then let the remaining water evaporate and smoke what was left? The stuff that I extracted from MHRB smelt the same as the Ayahuasca drink, so why wouldn’t it work if I smoked it? (less the MAOI via the Caapi.) Would it be possible to make a resin from the brew that could be vaporised?
From what I have experienced so far, I want to make another Ayahuasca brew and reduce it down to see if there is any residue left that can be dried in to a solid and then smoked. I know it sounds a lot like Changa, but has anyone tried reducing Ayahuasca down to a solid-like material before? Is it possible to extract the alkaloids from the liquid in the same way that you would do a STB extraction on MHRB etc?
I will post an update on this once I've tried it, but it is likely to be a couple of weeks as I won’t have time over Christmas! Feedback would be appreciated!
