Hi All,
SWIM got a taste of the spice for the 1st time two days ago. SWIM says a taste as it wasn’t a breakthrough but a most enjoyable acute tweak of consensus reality
SWIM and a friend, who has had a dozen or so goes without breakthrough, set off on a short walk into the forest and find a spot off the track and setup a picnic rug in a small clearing with large beautiful trees all around. SWIM’s friend loads the bong, glass bowl, wire mesh, Changa, small amount of spice. SWIM is a bong smoker from years ago but it’s been a good 15yrs since his last and is a bit apprehensive that he will cough and splutter, let alone the spice effects! SWIM’s heart is racing, starts to wind up with a few deep breaths then signals to friend that he’s ready for him to light on the next one.
The smoke goes down without cough or splutter. 3 hits and SWIM’s cleared the bowl. SWIM notices the tree trunk directly in front of him has gained geometric detail that is fluid in movement. SWIM perceives a few skips in consensus time as he turns to look at his friend sitting next to him. His friend has blended in with the nature behind him. Colours are exaggerated though in an odd way that is difficult to explain. It’s like they are more earthly. Beautiful, just beautiful.
WOW. Time to up the spice.
Same again, 3 hits to finish the bowl. A slight high pitched noise is perceived, the geometric detail returns with the added bonus of everything going out of shape. It’s like trees, branches and leaves are being pinched from every axis randomly. SWIM turns to my friend. This time SWIM’s friend has lost his skin! Though it is not frightening thankfully. SWIM lays back to enjoy the canopy of the tall trees above and marvels at their intricacy.
SWIM feels comfortable with what has happened so far and wants to try a larger hit. Same again, though with SWIM lighting. Nothing happens!? SWIM’s friend says that he’s heard of diminishing returns after successive hits like this. Can anyone verify this, or was it maybe SWIM’s poor technique?
SWIM still has some spice left and after trying to find info on effective delivery of spice found a site not unlike this

Sounds like you had a good initiation.

I think your friend is right about the diminishing effects.

One can breakthrough several times successively, but it's best to wait ~45 min-1 hour between launches.

Your body quickly develops a tolerance, but it also diminishes rather quickly.

Awesome, thanks for the info.

No problem. Welcome to the Nexus.
