Evaluation / notes: I was really excited to try snorting some spice since I like the way it smells. I have wiped a few waxy crumbs on my nasal mucosa a while ago and it felt BAD, so I never wanted to go all out.... Until this thread. Turns out my nose went numb initially, then started burning a bit about 15 min later. Nothing terrible, certainly nothing worse than the cheap ass speed I used to rail in the bad-old-days. At the insufflated dose, I only started to get the "feel", with no OEV, minimal indistinct/crude CEV's.
I got tired of waiting, so loaded up the ole corny-vape and took a small hit. KAPOW, total immersion with voices, beings chattering at me, eyeballs exploding, neon snakes etc. This is a good sign. After collecting my wits, hit number 2.
BANG. After some of the usual visuals the portal opened and I returned to melty-crazy world: everything is relatively "normal" looking (but fundamentally different, like I am seeing it through alien eyes), but it's dreadfully hot. The colors are oversaturated and everything grows eyes and insect-segments if I look at it too long...I am speaking in tongues and my body has split in half as I grasp the vision world in one hand, and the real in the other.
Return to reality again, sort of. My clasped hands yawn open and other worlds hide in there, my feet are coated with eyes and hey watch me. Last hit to go!
XxXZXZXZ: I seek the path of the shaman, summoning spells pour out of my mouth. Things are watching me, silently leading. I am in a place where spirit power has warped my shape, square toes, fluidly changing limbs. Giant eyes. My hands no longer have bones. Sweat poured from my hands and feet. Open, shimmering fields with crude glass approximations of pine trees, a too-yellow sun....
That last hit must have lasted about 10-14 min, once I came down I looked in the mirror... My eyes are now disproportionally large for my head, and my pupils dilate & contract when tilt my head. Perhaps not down yet in retrospect.2
All in all, it wasn't enough to blast off on it's own, but worked GREAT as a booster. Reminded me of aya and smoking combo, really. Assuming I don't get nosebleeds, this is now part of my process. Thanks guys!
