I've encountered spice before from other people's extractions throughout the past 6 months and I finally succeeded in procuring my own, which was a very rewarding experience. But I've had some trips on spice that were nerve wracking and slightly threatening, so after crystallizing I was really chicken shit about using it and set it aside in a vial for a couple days. Finally got up the nerves to take it out just a little while ago.
I had to sit for a good long while with the crystals loaded up in the pipe, taking slow deep breaths trying to calm my heart rate down as I was noticeably excited. I'm not too sure on my smoking method, I think it's a definite problem. I hold the lighter over the spice until it melts into the bud I'm using as a screen, and I tried holding there for some time but didn't notice any vapors upon exhaling. So I let the flame get a bit closer, eventually the bud starts to cherry so I say fuck it and just start ripping the bud. Get in 3 good hits as advised, already feeling the familiar alienness character to the room after the first hit.
It's a very different trip from what I remember but very familiar all the same. I don't think I reached breakthrough levels, this was about 40mg not smoked very efficiently. There were colors that were flowing like a river, it wasn't too intense or bright. It felt as usual like someone was right in my face like poking at me, looking at me, but I sort of vaguely sense their presence and don't see them very clearly. The river of colors vaguely resembles various shapes and it feels as though I'm part of a crowd of people that are sort of flowing and moving over each other like a river of shape people. Kind of hard to explain.
It was very grounding to hear the sounds of people yelling outside "PARTYYYY! WOOO," normally I would be accepting of the neighbors on the nearby balcony doing this but it just seemed so obnoxious and really got on my nerves while trying to blast off. My fault for waiting so late in the night on a Friday, can't fault them. But it was very grounding, I had no music and was going for a silent trip as music in the past has been very anxiety producing.
So I may try again tomorrow, with appropriate music, and see where it goes. I will both up the dosage and try to improve my smoking method as it wasn't nearly as intense as desired. And I think the lack of intensity this first time has cleared up my nerves about going further, this seems to be a very gentle and extremely euphoric substance. I think I forgot to mention it but I felt realllly good the whole time.
