Thanks for your reply, I guess there was some set issues involved w/ the 1st time because SWIM was watching 9 Lives of Fritz the Cat w/ wife at first but she wasn't enjoying the movie. Her uncomfortableness was making SWIM uncomfortable, So SWIM changed it to some comedy show and everything was fine. Both times the setting was very much comfortable, I prefer to be at home & either alone or with people I love while taking any psychedelics (too many unnecessarily bad acid/shroom trips when i was younger). The only reason I suspected SWIM may have a lower tolerance for the rue is SWIM had taken 3g of rue a few times previously to get comfortable w/ it before adding anything else but never exceeded 3g & It was more after the tryptamine effect wore off that SWIM was left w/ the negative feelings. Admittedly, There were a great deal of variables though. the second time SWIM was coming down from a good dose of Peruvian torch so that may have effected things too. Even the method of preparation was improved the 2nd time around. The dose was 2g chali/2g jurema the 1st time and 3.5g jurema the second (which I believe is not excessively high or anything). SWIM probably gained just as much from both experiences, It just seemed a bit like night and day between the two experiences. The 1st was very negative and self-critical the second I really learned to love myself for who I am. Definitely more experimentation is in order but I'm in no big rush. Again no worries about no replies, I was just playing around.

Oh and thanks to any one who reads this for being here, theirs just so much good information on the nexus. Its a breath of fresh air really. Theirs too much bad info about hallucinogens on the web. Also thanks for having a site that stays away from all the shady stuff like addictive street drugs & drug dealing etc. I love that you guys keep it more spiritually focused instead, so thanks a lot, you guys are great.
