EDIT!
I sampled the batch again, fearing it would be alien and terrible, and all ruined (like my high self must have been assuming when he wrote this post)
It was beautiful. Holy fuck.
It isn't ruined at all. I am just a noob, and wrote this right after a bad experience, thinking it were all ruined, because it was the first sampling off the batch.
This post should be a cautionary tale, on why you shouldn't leap to conclusions, based off of one negative experience.
Holy fuck I feel dumb, but I am so happy that it isn't all ruined.
The lesson to be learned here: DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.
Thanks for sticking this one out, and for all the advice...
I love all of you

So I did something that I am not proud of, and brings me great sadness -- a ruined a whole massive batch of Changa. How did I do this you ask? Well, let me tell you, in a brief, cautionary tale, so that a fellow noob like myself wont repeat.
There I was, with a whole mess of spice that the worms of Arakis had just left me. I was so excited to have so much of it at my disposal; all of my hard work had paid off, and I was rolling in the melange. Then I did something utterly stupid...
I mixed all this lovely spice, with a harmala FB which I hadn't properly tested, and came from a new source. The results of this were nauseating.
The blend looked beautiful -- colors everywhere, leafy green, blue, and red bits of wonder through out the mixture. I added about 300 mg of this untested harmala to three grams of herbs, and a gram of spice (I made 2.5 batches, so I am kicking myself so hard). I loaded my bowl, and finished it. The visuals were slow, and a little bit distant. Unformed almost. This has happened with previous batches, and to get past this, I usually have to smoke a second bowl. So I do that.
Immediately, I start to feel as if something is off as I am inhaling. I am getting a weird anxiety that I had not gotten since I was younger -- a type of psychedelic uncertainty that I associated with my younger self, getting into muddy waters of the mind. I closed my eyes to let it sink in.
I was greeted with the most ugly, mean looking, slowed down, putrid green, jagged lumps of oppressive geometry. They were cold, unfeeling, scary looking, like decomposing flesh, mixed with streaks of black and gray. I wasn't scared, but felt a slight repulsion, trying to figure out what went wrong. I sat there for a solid ten minutes, watching these shapes move about slowly, in a sickly fashion. When I opened my eyes, I could still see my room shifting around, but I was greeted by a sobering frustration with myself for potentially ruining my Changa.
Then, I waited a little while, and smoked third bowl for good measure. This time it was just darkness. Pulsing, undulating, brown and black swabs of oil in my eyelids. Immediately I opened my eyes, and was greeted with an even stronger feeling of angered sobriety, despite everything glooping about in my vision...
It is all ruined.
So what do I do???? I take to the forums, to share this cautionary tale.
Don't be like me kids (adults). Learn from my mistakes.
Small test batches, before you go big, especially with new sources of harmala...
I am going to to try it again in the morning, to see if it is any different.
Thanks for reading.
