I'll tell ya what, the cacao actually had an effect.. The trip was the most intense I've had since I had THH available.. Though it wasn't qualitatively similar, I'm just saying that was the most intense trip I've had since then.. I had eaten about 15 grams of it overall, which as people said, was about what you can grab in a handful.. a comfortable handful where you grab some and it's not falling out constantly, enough that will fit comfortably in your hand is likely enough..
The effect was basically a stronger effect with less spice.. I ended up smoking my normal amount.. I put the normal amount in the bowl, a moderate dose of sorts.. I smoked the first hit, maybe half of the bowl, and it was as intense as if I smoked all of it at once, plus a matchhead sized piece added.. It was just much more intense with less smoke inhaled.. Usually to get that effect I gotta get 2 hits roughly in a row and they HAVE to be my first 2 of the day... subsequent hits will yield less visually interesting, less awe inspiring visuals, etc..
I'm wondering if cacao nibs could be used to make the 2nd or 3rd trip of the day as strong and enjoyable as the 1st.. I know some people notice no lacking of intensity for the subsequent times smoking, but like many others, I notice it's not anywhere as spectacular.. Last night, I smoked an extremely small amount, intentionally small enough that I could function.. all I wanted was euphoria and color added to my cannabinoid variety smoking blend.. so technically, the trip I took after I posted that yesterday morning was the 2nd of the day.. but I hadn't had much at all earlier and there was like 6 hours in between so I figure that's not good enough to say "it makes the 2nd trip as good as the day's first trip" for me..
It does demand more study however, and I just ate about 10 grams of nibs.. They are growing on me, but some of them happen to have that vinegar taste.. no way to know till I bite them.. I just shovel a handful in my mouth, chew, realize it's not the worst thing I've had in my mouth in the name of psychoactivity (THH, which isn't bad at all, is worse in the end than the cacao, if that's any indication.. THH leaves the most BIZARRE aftertaste, sorta like menthol will make all your food taste different and drink, THH does that) and I just wash it down once I chewed it all up with some lemonade.. the results just from this are well worthwhile.. I notice subtle psychoactive changes, as I said in my last post, and man.. it really brings any latent-opiation still in you from earlier back to a nice level.. it seems to have the average stim boost for the opiate at the time.. If I tell you the opiate, don't laugh.. loperamide.. Some threads (more like arguments) at bluelight will sorta paint a picture where only a small percent of people seem to get CNS effects from loperamide, and I discovered I am one of them.. I get definite opiation, but it isn't as pleasurable as pods or anything.. it's more like darvocet..
So anyway, with that in mind, the cacao seems to give me a nice energetic subtle euphoric feeling.. like my body feels better.. It's almost like I can feel when something is a vasodilator come to think of it.. I thought to myself just now "what chemicals are in it and what would they even do for me?" and I thought about it, and I realized it is vasodilating.. that would explain the body feeling.. it's like a warm bloodflow feeling.. like I could be more easily aroused... It's nice, subtle, but definitely there.. I think a handful of nibs with some sublingual kanna could be a perfect recipe for worktime happiness come to think of it..
So anyway, I'm about to smoke some DMT.. again.. I've been using it nightly for a bit.. but I find no decrease in effects for the first trip of each night.. I have for 3 nights now kept it to one major-smoke a night.. so as to get the most out of my material and also so the majority of my day isn't spent in that mindset.. I don't think I'm really overdoing it, and if problems arise or my anxieties during my day get too high, then I'll take a break.. for now, DMT is just too damned interesting and amazing for me to stop my 'research'.. Once again, I'll report back anything interesting..
One thing I'd like to note: My experiences are always conveyed 10x better if I write it up directly after the trip during the afterglow.. I have yet to do that, so one of these times I'll have to trip when it's earlier in my day (I go to sleep around now usually, I have a weird schedule) so I don't feel like a nice rest right afterward.. both of my reports I've written, the one smoked and the one pharmahuasca, were written in the inspiring state of the afterglow, where I feel my ideas (and my sentence structure) greatly benefit.
