So I met an old man that told me of his first trip to space, I’ll be explaining it in the first person for the stories sake...
Over the last week or so I've been working on my first extraction, being lazy and wanting to make sure this is something i'd be interested in spending more time with I choose to do a stb tek with no defat steps or anything... Well the first pull looked more like a light cheddar cheese and also ironically matched its consistency. I know i could defat then re-crystallize but as i mentioned i wanted to make sure this would be worth the time invested....Boy did i have no idea what i was about to get into. Also while pouring over the numerous teks online, and prior to extracting i ran across a tek for "the machine". I threw one of them together and stashed it for my travels...
So fast-forward 3 days and 2 pulls I’m left with close to a gram of what a lot of you would probably refer to as jungle spice...It's now 1:20am and I'm sitting alone in my living room trying to decide if i would either say screw it and take the next flight out or wait (as i told my friend i would). Well after checking with my local space travel authority I found out the next shuttle was leaving in 5 minutes...
So 2 minutes until take-off, I grab approximately 30mg of my yellowish spice and put it in "the machine" I sit back and try to hit the thing, wow this is a lot more difficult than I envisioned... I sat in my chair for about 3 minutes trying to get a good hit, to no avail... The most i got out of "the machine" was very light patterning and a feeling I compare very closely to the come up on MDMA. Frustrated because i've read after even a light experience you should wait an hour before trying to board the shuttle again....SCREW THAT! I thought, so i grab another ~30mg and toss it in my 2.5ft glass water pipe normally reserved for MJ i left a thin layer of ash in the bowl to prevent the spice from melting down the hole and into the water, So now i decide to sit on my couch. As i sit back and clear my mind i remember i had earlier placed a call to a friend of mine to see if I could procure some more pot, I immediately dismissed the possibility of him returning the call simply due to the time. (BIG MISTAKE)
So I decide to go for the gold (literally) grab my water bong i take a firm pull that irritates the shit out of lungs immediately making me want to hack my brains out, but like a disciplined bong smoker i resisted the urge to exhale...I quickly put the bong on the coffee table and closed my eyes where i was met with some of the most beautiful flowing visuals i have ever seen(i don’t remember exhaling)....That’s when it happens....RING,RING,RING My eyes leap open to an alien room that only very slightly resembles the room i remember closing my eyes in, I hop up off the couch (WHOA!) and stumble towards the cordless phone quickly picking it up and telling that ASSHOLE I would call him back, then immediately hanging up...I stumble back to the couch plop down and close my eyes expecting to be met with the same gorgeous visuals i had left, unfortunately that was not to be.
As i sat still, eyes closed, determined to explore this wonderful wonderful world i had been ripped from by that normally handy piece of technology, Unfortunately i was met with a feeling of slight terror, I knew this was common so I told myself to relax and enjoy ...Which is when I could feel something strange, like my body was ripping apart for the inside, like all of a sudden every cell in my body was repelling, forcing my body to no longer hold any shape but to spread out over a wide wide area, i felt as though i had died, as soon as that dawned on me I muttered ego death in my head and decided to quit fighting and go with it, as soon as i surrendered myself to the inevitability of the experience i was transported back to this beautiful gallery of ever shifting, incredibly detailed images flashing 1,000fps amazingly enough it seems like my mind is somehow able to keep up with its blistering speed...I spent what i would guess to be another 5-6 minutes sitting eyes closed enjoying the hell out of myself.
A little additional info: both McKenna and Joe Rogan explain dmt to be the strongest hallucinogen, it doesn't at all do it justice...This is instantaneous and simultaneous brain explosion...strong is something reserved for liquor, but spice? spice is FUCKING AMAZING!
Regardless of what at the very least would be considered unfortunate circumstances I was able to not only retain a pleasurable experience but I'm pretty sure the next time i won't be so shocked by the sights, sounds and feelings encountered in deep space. So here’s to my first but certainly not my last excursion...
Then the old man looked over at me nodded his head kindly and gently closed his eyes...he let out a deep sigh and as peacefully as our conversation had started, his life had ended. Which is unfortunate i had so many questions unanswered but something tells me we'll meet again somewhere out there in the cold vacuum of deep deep space.
