Just to add to the MXE banter, I had a very deep therapeutic session with it on Saturday eve. Myself and 3 good friends (there first time) combined 30mg oral with a pinch of liberty cap mushrooms each, with a liberal dusting of spliffs on top.
The experience was fun to begin with, very surreal, the mushrooms pulling us one way, the MXE quite another...not a tug of war so much, more of a playful and amusing tussle. Lots of interesting chats on reality and such, at times I found it hard to remember what was being discussed, but felt very cosy and content both engaging in conversation, and just listening. Seems to be somewhat of an opener and social lubricant if you're all on it together, more so than ketamine anyway.
Later, we decided to call it a night, and this is where it got deep. 2 of my friends went to bed and promptly fell asleep. Myself and another friend tried, but failed. I was experiencing some amazing distortions of perception in the darkness, and sleep seemed far away, my friend was on the same level. Then it started to get intense, very intense...some serious therapy and examination of demons and recent personal faults. The nature of this reminded me greatly of Iboga in fact. It wasn't pleasant or fun, that's for damn sure, and my friend in the morning told me he experienced something similar. He said he felt a physical pain, and when his awareness started to probe it, it released visions of things he needed to confront and dispel...very Ibogaesque I thought. This went on for some hours, sleep evaded me and the therapy continued, eventually relenting slightly.
Anyway to cut a long story short, this experience has led to some real world changes that I have gone about making, and as a major bonus I seem to have been cured of raging insomnia that seems to have been affecting me badly of late. So yeah a unexpected and interesting and multifaceted experience, unlike any before, or any combination before.
