So after finally managing to get a new pull and doing so properly, I decided to take my first true experience, at at least try to. I'm honestly not sure what the dosage was since I don't have a scale at the moment, but I've included an image to show how much I had. Anyway, I decided to use my bong and packed the bottom of my bowl with blue lotus since it has a very wide opening at the bottom. I then put all of what you see in the image on top and prepared myself, sitting on my couch, relaxing, and getting ready for the first hit. When I did it, it hit me within the first five seconds of holding it in. Continuing to hold it, the smoke rising from my piece started to catch my focus and seemed almost cartoony in how it looked. As I watched a portion of the smoke, it stopped in it's place, and to me transformed into the silhouette of a man's face that said to me: "Shut off your computer!". The image went with the smoke. It was kind of funny, but I also knew what it was for. I started noticing the noise the fan in my computer made, and it was at the time highly obnoxious and very loud. Not something I usually notice, or maybe a lot of people really. My fridge was on it's usual rumble, and the noise of the world around me was consuming me.
I got up, shut off my computer, and realized how much different the energy to the room was without the noise! Funny enough, the fridge cut too when I shut off the computer. So I was sitting in this quiet room for the first time in a long, long time! Under the influence of spice too, it really made me feel much more calmed and part of the silence. I sank into my couch again afterwards, just thinking about how I've never really noticed how polluted sounds have gotten. I've never really thought noise pollution through much till now, and it was an eye opening session for sure. Not to much visualization, but a lot of inner work and understandings. It was very nice.
And here is the image of what I had obtained. This is what I pulled from a few days ago and just decided to get out today. I'm not good with eyeballing it, but if anyone would like to guess how much is there that'd be cool. I'll be able to weigh it eventually here. Obviously, that's a dime next to it.
Within each bulb the salty sea,
swims an ocean silently,
swims the forest of my dreams,
swims the essence of my being
