Last night I had a really powerful experience with calea. All I can say is that it's a hell of a drug when dosed properly. (Like anything, as I keep finding out..) I've tried to smoke the stuff on several occasions in the past, but I just had very subtle effects. But last night I tried to make some tea for the first time and I scooped up 2 handfuls of the dried leaves, simmered them for 20 minutes, then strained them carefully through a t-shirt.
The taste, well it wasn't as bad as all the horror stories I've read, in fact it was quite pleasurable with some sugar added, but then again I'm a weirdo with tastes. But what was absolutely stunning was the speed and the power of the effect. I hadn't even drank half of the tea and very soon I started to feel profoundly weird, like time was slowing down and my body was shutting down. I even went to the chat to ask for help because I thought I had used the leaves of something completely other than calea. But apparently calea can be really strong too. (Thanks AG)
After like 10 minutes I had no choice but to go to the bed as my head and eyes were going down on their own and I had no choice in the matter. What I experienced on the bed was like extreme euphoria, like being awake for 10 years and then finally being able to sleep. And my mind was kinda lagging behind so first my body went into a sort of paralysis and I just kept thinking how awesome and relaxing it felt, the ultimate relaxation. It was comparable to like, the best weed euphoria ever , but without all the mental effects of weed.
Shortly after my mind fell asleep too, but throughout the night some really strange things happened. I sometimes woke up like in a sleep paralysis, and my bed had a grid over it and there was this really bright green light that was going over the grid every 5 seconds. Like the bed was being scanned. Everything else was a very deep purple, it was like the green light was surrounded by purples. It was a very beautiful sight to say the least. Then on another occasion I became completely aware in a dream, but it wasn't a dream it was more like hyperspace. I had no body I was just floating in a void and there was VERY familiar geometric patterns slowly morphing into different patterns right in front of me. I could easily draw some of the patterns but the level of intricacy was so deep that I'd need a very big paper and it would take days to draw. There were also waves of checkerpatterns hitting me like coming from a sea and I was the shore. All of the patterns were crystal clear with colors and I had my complete awareness, so it was very profound.
And the thing is, I've had stuff like that before in my dreams, but this time I could feel that it was from the calea, you know like when you can just feel it. The sense of ultimate relaxation was there inside the dream and the sense of awareness was a unique kind. I also had some vivid normal dreams, but they were just the usual dream stuff so I'm not gonna go into them too much. But there was like more checkerpatterns even here, in one of them I was in a palace full of checkerpattern art and in the middle was a pedestal that was pulling me like a magnet.. altho I don't remember what was on the pedestal. And lots of other dreams like that.
Anyway, now that I've awoken I feel really refreshed, like I haven't felt in a loong time. All I gotta say is this calea is really powerful stuff and I will be experimenting more with it now, and will be probably combining the tea with smoking to get even more profound effects... Just thinking about the euphoria I had last night makes my body tingle..
Anyone else experience something strong like this?
EDIT: This might not have been calea after all, as pointed out below. If anyone has any idea what plant was really in question here, please let me know.. as it feels a bit scary to continue experimenting with this when I don't even know what it is..
