I had an odd experience last night. It was my first time smoking pure harmine before spice (changa) I smoked about 30mg of harmine on top of some caapi leaves and waited till I felt a little numb then loaded a bowl of changa the same size as usual (I don't weigh it but I have gauged the effects based on multiple trials)

I expected to smoke less with greater effects but ended up loading more and more and didn't really get that far, it seemed like the harmine was inhibiting the strength but lengthening the duration. I wasn't too surprised because I have heard that can happen, what was really strange though was I would be enjoying my somewhat mild effects when all of a sudden I would get this blast of intensity I am calling a "phaser" because it felt like I was being zapped by some extraterrestrial ray gun.

It was like the carrier wave would amplify 100 fold instantly and I would get a bright flash and I would feel like I was going to pass out or breakthrough or something for about a second. This phasing happened multiple times but there was no reason or rhyme to it. It was completely random, it seemed to be independent of time, body movements, breathing, etc.

The experience itself was odd as well, I had little visuals besides morphing colors and very strange asymmetrical patterns, I closed my eyes at one point and found myself looking at a really weird pattern that seemed way too simple to be of DMT origin, I watched this pattern for quite some time until it slowly floated past me, I could not really comprehend it but it seemed to be a giant craft that looked like a bunch of random simple lines.

Has anyone else experienced this phasing?

Odd that no one else experiences this, tonight I felt it again. It seems to come on at the end of the experience and it is like residual waves of DMT pulsing through my head, except it feels much stronger than the original experience and only lasts about a second. It feels like what I imagine breaking through would, the carrier wave gets really intense until it seems like if it got any stronger my brain would explode or my consciousness would be shot into another dimension (lets hope for the latter.)

I am just wondering why it feels stronger than the experience itself, and if I am the only one that gets this. I guess you would only know if you didn't breakthrough because after that anything else would seem normal

I've also been noticing as I'm sure many of you have that the visuals completely change depending on the amount of light in the room. For example if the light is on and I close my eyes the visuals are really organic and fluid like, but if I place my hand over my closed eyes to block out more light the visuals become very straight edged and mechanical. This is a repeatable effect that I have noticed almost every time I smoalk.

Sorry for the astonishment at the little stuff but I'm still dipping my toes in, I want to treat the spice like a lady and get to know her before we go all the way. I learnt my lesson the hard way with lady salvia, I guess I'm still recovering from many wild rides years ago.
