SWIM says: I took everyone's advice and followed the recipe and procedure more or less. I poured 2.5 cups of distilled water in a french press, added two handfuls of fresh peppermint from my yard and stored it in a dark fridge for about 5 hours. I ripped each leaf individually to jump-start the cold water water extraction; I did not heat the water. I added some freshly squeezed lemon juice to acidify the pH 7 tea down to 2.8 after 5 hours. I was shooting for a pH of 4 so I obviously overshot the mark. No harm done. Every hour I shook the
tea and pressed the filter like a plunger up and down.
Then I ground up 20 HBWDS in a coffee blender that I had just received from BBB. I did this in my dark room with only one candle lit at a short distance so I could see what I was doing. I added the powder to the tea, mixed, plunged the french press, and stored in the dark fridge for 24 hours. Whenever I had the chance I took it out being careful not to expose it to light, and mixed/pressed the solution.
On Oct.5th 7P.M. I drank half of it, and immediately ate about 1 oz of cacao nibs along with 10 Datura inoxia seeds. After an hour I felt nothing, and felt very disappointed. Where the seeds bad, should I have heated the water? The pH was right so it should have converted most of the LSA to LSH, in which case I should have felt the LSH within the hour. I thought I must not be sensitive to this drink, so I drank the rest which was meant for my brother who was waiting on me. This was going to be his intro. to entheogens, but I told him I had to figure out what went wrong. Again, I ate about 1oz of cacao nibs along with 10 Datura inoxia seeds. I layed down, and waited.
About 15 minutes later my ears made a popping sound, like when you drive to a higher elevation. A ringing in my head began, and it grew louder and louder to a torturing level. It was a higher pitch than a dog whistle. Still no CEV's or OEV's. Then the sedation began...how can this be I thought? I should be feeling stimulation! My pupils began to dilate and it was hard for me to focus visually on anything. The sedation was so strong I had to focus to stay awake. I thought to myself that the first batch I took a couple days ago was stimulating compared to this eventhough it had a pH of 7!
The intense ringing in my head tested me to the max, it made an hour seem like 6 hours. Waiting for it to pass, I focused on repeating slow deep breaths. The loud ringing never passed. After what seemed like a couple hours, the sedation was so mentally taxing that I had to immediately find something that would wake me up. I sought the answer online, and being very anxious I downed a monster energy drink. Not the best idea I know, but it worked well. After a couple hours the ringing transitioned from being painful to being what I thought of as a soft, pleasant voice of which I felt I could understand. Then I began talking to my brother, which immediately turned into poetry that never stopped flowing from my mouth until the sun rose the next morning. The same thing happens to me when on a low dose of mushrooms. It frees my mind artistically.
My brother sat at my computer across the room, listening and typing my words down. Soon after I began speaking poetry the most beautiful OEV's saturated, and covered everything in my room. I closed my eyes and was shocked at the CEV's. My consciousness was simultaneously in other dimensions that were wildly different from each other, and I was aware of my presence in my room at the same time speaking poetry to my brother. The visuals were like many spice trips, salvia trips, and a new spectrum of HBWDS dimensions all mixed into one experience that went on, and on, and never ceased until after the night passed and the sun rose. It was the deepest and longest trip of my life bar none.
While in a sort of artistic trance state, I had an intense need to urinate, and without thinking I urinated into the distilled water jug filling it full until it overflowed. I then told my brother to drink it. He looked at me stunned, "Are you crazy?! I'm not going to drink your piss!" I told him,"trust me it will do you good!" I begged him, and he finally took one small sip. That satisfied me enough and we resumed our places in the room.
When it was all said and done the next morning, he asked me why I wanted him to drink the urine. I showed him video, and written info. on the Shamanic/medicinal practice of people drinking urine, and drinking the Shaman's urine who is in a psychedelic state. I showed him the Siberian context which is that people eat the snow that the Amanita Muscaria intoxicated Shaman urinates on. They get all the psychedelia without the displeaserable effects. I'm going to drink some of it, and I'll let you all know how it goes.
I got a psychedelic ass-kicking like none other which began from Oct, 5th 7P.M. until Oct. 6th 8:30A.M. Pacific Time. When I apply pressure to my closed eyes with my fingers I can still see strobing, disco ball visuals with subtle electric colors I kid you not. Thanks, 69ron for the ride of a lifetime!!! :surprised
