Hello. I’ve been a member since 2018 but I seldom post. A few years ago I took an interest in psychedelics because I heard some podcast about microdosing. In the same year I had the first experience, which was a large dose of jungle spice vaporized and facilitated by an acquaintance of mine. I don’t know why this person decided that it was appropriate for me to take such a large dose (I don’t know the size because he didn’t weigh it, he just put a large pinch on the pipe) but the result was…I guess you would call it a level 5 trip. I inhaled and boom, in a few seconds I was shot out of a canon. I don’t remember much at all about the experience. Just sort of tumbling, and time wasn’t a thing anymore, and I didn’t have a body. The strangest part of the experience was coming back into my body and remembering that I had a body and that I was a person. I was also speechless for several minutes. After that experience I made a few subsequent feeble and unsuccessful attempts over the following couple of years. Once I took 2 g dried shrooms with no effect at all. Another time I took 3 g of the same batch and it made me confused for a while, an unpleasant experience. I also once tried pharmahuasca, 200 mg of rue freebase alkaloids and 40 mg of freebase DMT in a shot of cocacola. That created some strange thoughts and sleepiness but no psychedelic effects.
I am now coming to a point where I have to admit to myself that if I want to be a psychonaut (and I do) I need to start jumping in the pool, so to speak. I don’t have any interest in partying or using these materials for fun. My intention is to explore consciousness and learn about what’s behind the veil that is our normal waking state. I am currently reading the book LSD and the Mind of the Universe by Chris Bache. It is amazing to read about the commitment he put into it. Seventy-something high-dose sessions over the course of like twenty years, all meticulously documented, and with great attention to intention and setting. That’s how I would like to approach this, with reverence and dedication. I just need to find to courage to do it. Thanks.
