My journey to now

Migrated topic.

Rising Star
My journey actually started years before extracting and consuming spice had crossed my mind. I was an avid reader of erowid and eventually came across the Bufo alvarius. I quickly found a few other sites devoted to the toad and its venom and was very curious. The reports were intriguing and having a reptile/amphibian (of which i've kept many as pets over the years) that would produce a virtually never ending supply of something I hoped to consume regularly was a very appealing idea.

I found a pair of toads eventually, let them acclimate to their new home, and milked them as soon as I could. I had done mushrooms and LSA via morning glory's before, and even some salvia leaf, but had never experienced anything close to what was about to come. I had never really vaped a substance before so I didn't have proper glassware for this purpose, and decided to make one out of a lightbulb. good times :idea: I got the dried venom to fill the bulb with a very thick smoke and started sucking it out with a straw. It went down a lot smoother than I expected after getting a small whiff of the scent. Long before I was ready to exhale the head/body rush rose to an incredible level that I haven't experienced on anything else, including spice. After that however, my vision went white as if i stood up too fast, and I lost track of my surroundings and current state. It was almost as if time completely stopped and nothing existed anymore. Before I knew it, i was back on my couch and still in a trippy state, but it was all mental. I had absolutely no visuals or visions at all. No prisms, colors, blurred lines, fine details, nothing. everything about it was mental. I was expecting different according to what I read, so I experimented more, raising the dose by a small increment each time, knowing this stuff was actually dangerous if too much was taken in.

Eventually came a session that I took too much. I still hadn't experienced the effects that would have made this a desirable substance at any dose my body can handle. I knew from the second I finished the hit that it was too much and asked my wife for a vomit bowl. Before she made it to the kitchen I was pouring sweat out of every pore on my body and dry heaving harder than I ever had. When I was relatively normal afterwards, and able to survey myself, i felt as if I had just gotten out of the swimming pool with my clothes on. I was drenched. That was the end of that. My toads became strictly pets and I continued on my journey to other substances.

At one point I had ordered the cheaper counterparts available for ayahausca, which of course are MHRB and syrian rue. I made a brew on 2 or 3 separate occaisons, and had varying results, but nothing like I had come to expect. I have not gone back to try this again yet, but I am still positive they were complete failures. I had only used a small amount of my bark though, and set aside the rest for future use, figuring it wouldn't go bad.

5 years later, I finally read threw a tek online that described and walked me threw the STB method of extraction. I easily located everything I needed and had a decent amount of smokable yellow crystals a few days later. By this point I had read DMT: The Spirit Molecule, and lots of reports online, and was very stoked to try this. It what I had been hoping for with the frog venom.

By the time my extraction results were dry and ready to use, it was late at night and the wife had already gone to sleep. I felt safe doing this substance alone, as I had learned that it would be very hard to do too much or cause myself bodily harm threw my own actions while under the influence. I had heard the smoke can be very irritating and wanted to make sure I got a proper dose the first time, so I decided to use a bong to allow a larger amount of smoke to be inhaled easily in one breath. I would be allowing direct flame to hit the spice and knew this was far from efficient so I put used a lot more spice than was necssary. The pile of crystals in my stem was large, it looked like a full bowl of weed, just yellow instead of green.

I took a few deep breaths and inhaled. I saw my christmas tree and all its lights start to devide my room into a bunch of fractals or planes. It was very purple and shiny. I was in awe for about 3-4 seconds before I felt myself sinking deep into my couch. The sensation engulfed and did so very fast. Within seconds I had myself convinced that I had infact done too much and this was it, I was dying of an OD. I got a tear out and collapsed into a completely new reality. I had no memory of myself or my life. I was a complete observer from this point on. I was flying, probably about 100ft off the ground. The ground was a black and white checkerboard that was molded into a series of rolling hills that distorted the checkerboard pattern. There were structures on the ground that were composed of strange forms of geometry. Some of them were shapes/illusions you would see in an escher piece. Other smaller objects of similar but different forms were suspended in the air between me and the ground. I was flying by everything at great speeds and many of the objects made sounds I had never heard before. Very hard to describe, but I have heard some of them come up in songs created by Otto Von Shirach since then.

I saw the end of the checkerboard come into view and realized it was going to drop off like a cliff. When I reached the cliff I saw the checkerboard formed a waterfall, and as I was looking I realized I was falling very fast. I actually vomited from the motion sickness i experienced. My stomach had never jumped so hard into my throat. My body thought this was really happening and reacted. It was only this reaction that reminded me I had a body. I came out of it rather quickly with this revelation and started crying. I was in awe and literally shocked, yet I felt so relieved. I gained something. I knew there was more to the picture than previously, even though I couldn't put my finger on it. It woke me up and I was crying tears of freedom (and thanks that I was in fact still alive).

I was only able to experiment a few more times with my first and only extraction. I am still far from putting my finger on anything, but it's been a year or so now and I can get much closer at my current state of growth. Very excited to repeat my experiments!
 
Fantastic report, Xochi! Your reports with bufo sounds very much like my experience with 5-MeO-DMT, very different from those described by 69ron and fractal. So so interesting! Thank you.
 
Bufo alvarius 'venom' contains bufotenin as well as 5-me0-DMT. my understanding is that very little to none of the bufotenin is ingested when smoked.
