16.05.2010: First acacia-based ayahuasca trial completed. Has been a deep experience, but extremely horrifying during the prolonged entry stage.
The brew:
1) around 1/2 tbsp whole Syrian rue seeds, ground into powder and steeped in 3 washes of boiling water (no cooking, no evaporation);
2) around 3 tbsp ground Acacia confusa root bark, also steeped in 3 washes of boiling water (no cooking, no evaporation); ONLY around 1/2 of the acacia brew was consumed (around 1.5 tbsp of the plant material), resulting in an extremely strong experience.
The rue was consumed first, followed 30 minutes later by around 1/3 of the acacia brew, followed 30 more minutes later by a few more gulps of the acacia brew (overall, around 1/2 of the prepared acacia brew was used).
What ensued was a prolonged horrifying entry phase, which felt like dying many times over, not being sure anymore what being alive, sane or human means, or when this experience started, or when it is going to end. After a lot of suffering, and passing through an exquisitely sensuous erotic episode, this cleared into an extremely blissful state of peace and harmony, which gradually descended into the usual consciousness at around 3.5 hour time mark from the first acacia brew ingestion.
A deep experience I would say, but certainly not one I would repeat often. And all of this with only around 1.5 tbsp of the acacia root bark powder. No idea whether my batch of acacia is unusually potent, or I am unusually sensitive. Also, it's quite harsh on me. As I said, I've never really had a difficult experience with psilocybin, mescaline or LSA (all from natural sources), but these acacia voyages bring a lot of horror, among other things. Please stay safe!
add both liquids back into the pot
simmer for 6 hours
should leave you about 250 ml of a very clean smooth POWERFUL*ayahuasca* analogue
25 - 30 ml - nice micro dose - one can fully function with increased awareness, quiet meditation opens one up to the*dmt*experience, can be done for days, weeks on end - just watch out for the dmt build up which seems to be cumulative; and watch out for the*maoi*and certain food interaction (particulary red wine)
100 ml - nice full dmt journey (approx peak = 3 hours)*
125 ml - hold on to your sanity as reality dissolves
150 ml - ........."
Hey guys McLovin showed me this and McLovin has a few questions
1.Does McLovin separate the mix of the root bark, Syrian rue, and Vitamin C in half for the both times you add water?
2.Does McLovin just put the mix in the pot then just the water just like that?
3.When McLovin strains it does McLovin put the mix back into the pot?
4.Anyway it can be sweeter?
5.Can McLovin drink it cold or does it have to be hot for the Dmt to be active?
6.Can McLovin leave it a couple days then drink it?
7.Is there any other alternative to extracting Dmt from root bark (preferably ayahuasca) that wouldn't take so much ti
