Combining psilocin with bufotenine? Now there’s an interesting idea. SWIM will try that next time he has a batch of fresh shrooms

Bufotenine, even pure, has a body load that some people really don’t like. It’s not as bad as the snuff though. It’s not painful to snort freebase bufotenine. SWIM tried freebase bufotenine by every method imaginable except by injection. Snorting freebase bufotenine works very well, there’s no pain, but it gives SWIM a headache and nausea at 75 mg and up. He really doesn’t like it that way. Maybe he’ll try freebase bufotenine with lime or baking soda next time to see if that helps stop the side effects by keeping the nasal pH high.

When the natives make snuff the pH is normally adjusted to about 9.2-9.4. This is very close to the pKa of bufotenine.

SWIM likes freebase bufotenine vaporized most of all and can take up to 30 mg that way for a real intense trip (there’s a little nausea on the come up though, but only for about 1-2 minutes). SWIM usually uses 10 mg at night and lays in bed to watch the very intense eyes closed visions. At that dose it’s extremely visual but not at all intense. The visual effects are phenomenal! By vaporizing it you avoid most of the side effects because it gets rocket launched right into the brain as freebase via the lungs and has little time to ionize in the blood. A small amount vaporized, about 5 mg, will greatly intensify the visuals of most other hallucinogens without causing side effects. At 10 mg and up, nausea starts to creep in for SWIM, but its light nausea and only lasts 1-2 minutes. SWIM never vomited from it. The nausea is from the peripheral vasodilation effects it has on the body. It’s the same type of nausea one gets from taking too much vitamin B3.

500-1000 mg of ginger root taken 30 minutes before hand is very effective at relieving the nausea even from snuff. It works for SWIM.
