Sour Journey

Migrated topic.

This weekend i went with a couple of friends to a cottage in the mountains. The plan was to just hang out the first night, and get to know the campgrounds and such. And the second night we planned to drink Pharma.

The sun was shining and mountain air was crisp. Everything was going great. We went on several hikes near the river, and had pleanty of quality herb to smoke for the entire trip.

...Finally it was time to drink. With all of the good vibes and positive mind set, i would have thought that the experiance would have stayed on that positive momentum. But I was wrong, I had my ass handed to me that night. I ended up being "that guy"...

I drank 200g caapi (as opposed to my usual 150) and 300mg of fb in OJ, and I weigh about 155.

We sat around the fire as the sun went down and waited for the effects to take hold. I started to feel the body buzz coming on, the visuals were just starting to slide, and colors started to change tints. And this is where I lost my mind...

Out of no where I purged (as expected). But IMMEDIATELY following that I blew a gasket some where. I blacked out for about 5 or 10 min. I lost control of my limbs (no good)!!! My friend said I wasn't having a seizure, but to the best of his knowledge i was having convulsions in my legs and arms.

The next thing that I remember is they had brought me into the house to lay me down on the couch, and i wasn't havin' it. At this point I was incredibly confused. Everything was moving so fast, like strobe light. It was like i was watching an old movie and the film was flickering. I went into the bathroom to try and compose myself somewhat and splash water on my face. I was in there for like 5min or so and stumbled out into the living room to sit. Minutes passed like hours.

For another half hour i couldn't even finish a sentence. " I'm soooooo, I'm so so so so....hehehe im ok. Don't worry. Ssssoooorrrryyyy."

I was humiliated. I imbarassed the hell out of myself. The trip had little to no focus, no direction. I had done close to this dose before, what was my problem??? I've come so far with my relationship to the vine over the last few months. Ugh!!! Very frustrating... I do remember that when cooking the brew, i asked it to break me down to the foundation and build me up. And I did feel like i had hit bottom.

The next morning I woke up feeling a little bit better about the situation. I sat down for over an hour by myself reflecting on the previous night. WHAT HAPPENED???? On one hand i'm not going to let such an experience scare me away from aya/caapi/DMT. And on the other hand I can't just dismiss it. Perhaps it was just too large of a dose.

I've decided to take a break for at least month, or maybe two from drinking any brew for sure. But I think I will still have a few changa sessions.

-On a side note, about 3 or 4 changa sessions ago, I started noticing my teeth are hurting. Has this happened to anyone else???? Does this mean im smoking too much??? Does the vapor have oils in it that eat away at tooth enamel???

Any advise, thoughts, or suggestions would be great, thanks.

Sounds like you took a lot of caapi and waaay too much DMT. Have you tried 300mg in the past? How did that go? I'm not particularly surprised you lost control of your limbs. That's actually kinda natural for me with pharma even when I come no where close to blacking out.
 
Yeah i've done 300 before, but with 50g less caapi, and it actually went fairly well, just a little tough for a moment, no where near as intense as this. Also i don't know if it makes a difference but these crystals were chunky and yellow, as opposed to the pure white crystals i used previouly...

I've noticed on my other pharma trips that like to laydown and kind of strech and move my limbs because i think it feels good, but i've never had this happen. This was a tough lesson learned:( .

(CAUTION : It doesn't take much to throw yourself over the handlebars.)
 
Regardless of what put you over, I think it's wise to take a little break and try and integrate the experience.

Last October I went overboard when I ate about 5 dried grams mushrooms, then immediately smoked DMT right after. I essentially had a psychotic break lasting about an hour, and utterly humiliated myself in front of my best friend and tripping partner of many years. Acted in ways I can't even describe...Immediately afterwards I was so bummed feeling like I'd ruined my career of psychedelic exploration, ending on the ultimate bummer note.

A few months away from all substances helped immensely. When I did return to psychedelics, it was like I had grown a new pair of legs to stand on. Found myself wiser and better able to navigate intense psychedelic spaces.

Best wishes going forward!

Well, from my perspective, i don't see anything to be frustrated about, since it sounds like you developed quite a close relationship with the Vine if she listens so well to your wishes. Although "build me up" might be for the next session:)

About your teeth, maybe you just have sensitive ones to hot & cold...

Take care!
