How to standardize leaf dose

[Lowtones]

The initial effects include nausea, vomitting, increased blood pressure and
heart rate, profuse sweating, dizziness and body tremors. During this
initial period you may hear humming or buzzing noises and you may notice a
wave-like movement of the environment. You may feel alternations of hot and
cold, You may even experience the feeling of sinking together with the
sensation of flight.

These initial effects can be discomforting. They tend to produce anxiety
and encourage a withdrawal from the external world. You will probably
perceive environmental sights and sounds, especially other persons, as
disturbing objects and wish to avoid them. Seek a dark, quiet place where
you can enjoy the hallucinatory trance which follows.

This describes my most intense aya experience. Although I didn't vomit, I actually had quite a hard time making it from my designated spot to the bathroom, a total of no more than 30 feet. The motor function impairment was actually worse than being very drunk, but much more clear headed. I ended up crawling, if I remember right, because I felt it would be safer. It was my first time brewing and I had good materials and did lots of research. Homebrewing experience helped in some regard as well, and I believe I brewed something much more potent than expected. This was with using no more than 50g of dry material.

My temperature was certainly fluctuating, and the blanket fort (yes, just like a sleepover when you're eight years old :d ) was breathing with me, the patterns in the sheet swirling into cherubs and mayan art depictions of jaguars. And that was when I could actually hold onto reality for dear life...

Still my most meaningful experience, and I have no regrets.
