No more freebase for this guy

[buddhabelly]

Hi all this will be my first post here! I've been lurking for a little longer than necessary, so long in fact, that I am done with extraction and freebase vaping/smoking. I have very lovely and memorable experiences from vaping the spice, but the duration just isn't doing it for me anymore. I'm also trying to stay away from LSD and maybe even mushrooms :O.

I believe the best path for me at this point is to work with Aya. I'll be honest I've never had a successful brew, though I've tried. I think I am going to focus mainly on yellow or white caapi for now, with ACRB. I'm willing to try chacruna as well, just so expensive for a frequent traveler! Please wish me luck and any possible advice you guys might have is much appreciated Thanks

Just out of curiosity, what is your worry about LSD and shrooms?

Also, have you considered pharmahuasca, especially since you've had underwhelming experiences with traditional brews? I've recently started eyeing the idea pretty closely.

Hi
I've been taking haoma(ACRB and syrian rue brew) frequently and at first i failed 3 times preparing it i'm glad i failed when i brewed 10g AC... after that i found that ingesting the acacia powder makes it work well and also smoking freebase harmala during the experience intensify it, hcl harmala works much better than tea and chanting helps a lot to pass the experience without purging also for me it works perfectly if i honestly tell my body how much i love it and ask it to accept the medicine, the purging just goes away in a second
I took little doses just 140 mg hcl harmala and 2g dry acacia powder and i could feel it well and smoking fb harmala took me to a nice place...
I never took higher than 4 g acacia it is pretty strong i drink it alone in nature
the most powerful experience i had was 4 g acacia(brewed 1h) and 4 g rue(brewed 2 hours) i drink the rue ingest the acacia powder with little sips of water and then drink the acacia brew i was going uo to the highest heavens of understanding and fall again to the deepest hole of confusion when i touched eternity for the first time i got crippled and fell it was terrifying...
I take it to resolve the contradiction in my life and to open my heart more and more, it is really as an integration to what i am experiencing in my life, on this level it satisfies me a lot, but i will go deeper very soon.
Be safe

Well PsyDuckMonkey honestly, my path with those is at an end I believe. I just really have no desire to take LSD again, and am trying to adopt a more "serious" relationship with Aya. Really try to use it as a tool for healing and personal growth. I have had some VERY traumatic experiences with LSD and it just kind of left an imprint on every LSD trip I've had since. DMT has always been kind and welcoming though. I feel if I approach it in the right way, it could help me with so much. Mostly with fear and self esteem issues. Years of cannabis abuse haven't exactly helped much either, on the road to quitting that as well, when I say abuse, I do mean it lol.

And Sakkadelic thanks for the beautiful reply. I have been putting a lot of thought into Syrian rue and extracted harmalas as well, have you tried the vine by itself? And I love the dosing with ACRB! No need for 100's of grams of material

No i never tried caapi vine, i had wonderful experiences with syrian rue tea and extracts i like taking it alone a lot and i really believe it's the substance that changed my life the most so far it caused me a great sudden permanent shift in the way i experience life and myself but it's really hard to live the way it changed me i'm so glad i didn't give up yet finally things are getting better

I guess I can relate. After my first LSD experience (which I had when I was already familiar with mushrooms), I wanted nothing to do with the substance for 8 years (!), and it wasn't even what normally passes for a "bad trip".

That said, I'd warn you about "serious relationships" with substances. It's just not conductive of good vibes in my experience. Too much ego and too much expectations down that road. I've seen a few psychonauts go batshit crazy after they decided to keep to "serious, grown up healing" with substances. Keep it light and positive.

I'm sorry my post came off like that man, If there's one thing I love about the psychedelic experience, it is it's penchant for hilarity. I meant "serious" more in the context of used as a tool I suppose. I know if I go into an experience trying to be stoic and solemn, I'm gonna get taught a lesson haha. It's just since I usually journey alone, it's not all fun and games ya know? I still love every second of it honestly when I'm alone (possibly TMI) the experience tends to head in a sexual direction more than a funny or giggly one, and I'm not complaining haha. And yea man even if I don't have a "bad trip" on acid, I'll still be fried into the next day at least, and the comedown is usually pretty rough for me
