That strobe effect will become really strong if the dose is high enough. When SWIM smoked 10 mg of pure white bufotenine for the very first time using a test tube vaporizing system, that strobe effect was very powerful. Within about 2-3 minutes, the whole room was flickering rapidly, as if it was being repainted super fast, and that was seen with very bright lights on, not in the dark. He could see everything flicker on and off, and there were color effects that were present which SWIM had not seen at lower doses. The flicker is really rapid, maybe 10 times a second? It’s very strobe like.

At that dose, closing the eyes will lead to extremely rich visions. This is SWIM’s favorite visionary substance. If the bufotenine is clean enough there will be no nausea at all. There might be very slight tension. I believe the nausea and tension is caused by bufotenine N-oxide contamination, and that bufotenine N-oxide is amber or brownish, and not white like bufotenine is. (Actually bufotenine is very lightly tinted yellow, but nearly white.)

When the amber/brown crap is isolated from the white bufotenine, smoking the amber/brown crap produces nausea and tension and almost no other effects. This amber crap often represents as much as 50% of the alkaloid mix. For that reason, I believe it is bufotenine N-oxide, because no other alkaloid is present at that amount in Anadenathera colubrina other than bufotenine N-oxide. I only wish someone could positively identify it.

The early tests performed by injection of bufotenine oxalate that showed bufotenine lacked psychedelic effects may have been performed using bufotenine N-oxide unknowingly. Smoking 10 mg of that amber crap resulted in a headache, lots of nausea (as if hit in the stomach), and some tension, and nothing else much.
