Dear Nexians,
I would like to share with you my experience from my first alcohol extraction.
METHOD: I ground 2,8 grams (1/10 of an ounce) of dried P.Cubensis in my coffee grinder, and added about 100ml of 80% drinkable ethanol. After having it sit for 12 hours, I filtered it through a fine paper filter. Then I boiled the volume down to cca 25 ml (= a small shot of strong vodka). I drank it diluted in a glass of orange juice on empty stomach (more than 15 hours since my last meal).
EXPERIENCE: I have done more that 2,8 grams of dried P. Cubensis before (from the same flush), so I thought I more or less knew what to expect. I was way wrong, of course... The Mushroom hit me really fast and strong: first noticable effects came after less than 10 minutes, full effects in 30-40 minutes (unlike 60 – 90 minutes when I simply chew the Mushroom). I got strong nauzea, actually much stronger than I got from higher doses of Mushrooms in the past. After about 45 minutes I started to fall into a state of "dreamy dissolution", when I was loosing ability to distinguish between consensual reality and my Mushroom visions. I knew this was becoming my strongest Mushroom trip so far, perhaps at the threshold of being "too much". I was glad I was at home, safe and comfortable, as I realized I am not really able to walk anymore. I was glad I could lie down, in dark silence, covered by a thick blanket. Soon I broke into a DMT-like state, and became fully immersed into the "other world" of the Mushroom. This state itself, falling into it, and emerging back from it, strongly reminded me of my previous freebase DMT experiences (especially the familiar/unfamiliar recall of "this" world when entering it back from the "other" world). I can barely remember any particular vision in detail, I can only vaguely recall that I was living through complex lives in complex worlds far beyond my current imagination and ability to verbalize.
QUESTIONS: I was quite taken aback by the power of the Mushroom, which – as I learned in by experience – should never be underestimated. Up until now, I have considered 2,8 grams to be, at least for me, a moderate-to-strong, but definitely not a "breakthrough dose" (if I can call it like that).
Do you have any explanation for this rather unusually intense experience (with regard to the relatively low dosage)? Do you think it is possible that the crude alcohol exctraction described above is more "effective" than chewing in transporting more of Psilocybin/Psilocyn into the blood stream? Or was it just a coincidence of (1) an unusually strong Mushroom, (2) an effective alcohol extraction, (3) and my absolutely empty stomach?
Thanks for reading / reflecting upon my post.
Peace & Love
