Rising Star
I have spent the last few days reading and preping. I started off making the tea from 18.5g of powdered MHRB(I set aside 1.5g in gel caps), cooked it 4x @ 30min with white vinegar, read a process by which to clarify it with egg, did that. This maybe where I screwed up I am not sure, perhaps I should have added water to increase volume, when I added the egg I had about 2 cups of tea in the pot. It lost the majority of its red ting and when it wasn't hot it clouded to a golden color with just a hint o red. I clarified it the next day, again because of the cloudiness, it cleared up and as soon as it cooled it was cloudy again. I spent the next day doing the salt hamalas extraction, off of 25g of Syrian rue I got approximately 1.5g of hamalas. Can definitely feel the alkaloids just by putting a little on your tongue so I am confident I didn't screw that up, but still I am new to this so... This is what I did with the hamalas - boiled it 4x @ 30 minutes with acidified water, filtered it, put the liquid back on to boil and saturated it with Kosher salt. Let it rest in the frige for 20 minutes pulled it out, filtered it again, dissolved the solids in water with a little vinegar over heat, filtered this 3x. After filtering it I add sodium bicarbonate accidentally at first, realized what I had done and switched to the sodium carbonate I had made by baking sodium bicarbonate @ 500 F for 2 hours. Then filtered and collected the solids.
Well last night I had a friend come over to sit with me, just in case. I have done quite a bit of work with Lucy and some with Gus, but I was simply heeding the advice and cautions of many of you here. I had fasted for 24 hours, water only, just to reduce any head ache or nausea, I dont regularly eat food high in tyramine, I actually have a pretty healthy diet. I gel capped about 200mg of hamalas and drank it down with some water. I waited till I could feel its effects, no visuals or anything with it, it was like having a nice alcohol buzz but with more clarity in mind. Waited 30 minutes, then I drank about 1/8 of the tea right off, over the course of the next hour I drank about 5/8, not really feeling any change, perhaps some light gridding, no more than what you would have from being really tired. I thought this strange and began to wonder if I was going to be tidal waved at any moment. Another 30 minutes pass, no change I drink the tea again, to where only about 1/4 is left. Another 30 minutes pass and no significant change. I am feeling pretty good, perhaps the hamalas. I am beginning to wonder if I some how removed the alkaloids from the tea, not sure how I could have managed it, but I saw no other fault, unless I screwed up the hamalas some how, which I don't see how. At this point, I kinda take on a fuck it attitude and leave the rest of the tea, and take the 1.5g MHRB in gel caps. Within 30 minutes the feeling changes slightly, still no heavy visuals, just slight distraction from the conversation my buddy and I are having. We go smoke outside and a slight bout of nausea comes on, a few burps over 15 minutes and it passes.
I get a little more clarity in thought, and have a great deal of peace though I am disappointed the effects aren't much stronger. At this point after T+3.5, confident I am not going to launch off, my buddy takes off to go home and catch some sleep. I go up stairs starving, check my list of no no food and make a little veggie stir fry with rice. Turn on a movie and chow down. I finish up the small meal sit back to watch the movie, and colors starts splashing, and a different kind of gridding shows up, the lines are a lot smoother, no discomfort in body, and even more clarity in thought. It was very pleasant but no where near a threshold. This went on for about an hour and began to back off. Laid down and went to sleep at about 2 am (T+ 5.5).
This morning there is still a slight linger of a euphoria, clarity in thought, and visually. No other feeling. Any idea what could be amiss?
