So I have ordered 2 feet of San Pedro, I have done it a few times before, about 5. I have taken a foot from this same grower and if I recall about 16-18in a few weeks later. I have also tried this growers Achuma or Bridgessi, I did 9 in and it was probably as strong if not stronger then the Pedro foot maybe even strong as the 16in.. Going by these standards how much of the Pedro should I take? If I would of course I would go to a place in the world where it is Legal. BUT, I was planning on sitting up late and getting a fire going and reading and maybe meditating and hoping to have some love-filled thoughts and revelations. Any idea on what dose would be perfect for this setting? As for my mindset, I am pretty happy and have a good mood in general, just a little nervous if I were to take the 2 feet because I have never taken that much of this strain before.. The 9in Bridgessi was probably only an inch and a half maybe two inches in diameter. I have a pretty relaxed trip. Only have visions for about 2-3 hours and I laid down for those. Other then that it was pretty much appreciation for the senses. Any tips, knowledge, recommendations would be so very welcome. I plan on doing this Next weekend, around the 5th of Jan. Thanks

if the people youre with are down with trips and youre transportation is secured, go for 2

or split 1 and 1 with your buddy so you have someone vibing like you are

I will be alone. I live in a pretty secure place. No cliffs. No high drops. No dangerous things. I was going to do it at night in a meditative, ritualistic setting(candles, burning incense and such).. You think it will be safe to take 2 foot and lay down and listen to ambient music with dim lights and a fire near by and read and meditate and eat some fruit on the come down/come up?

you got the candles right!
best lighting for a less than entheogenic dose, i would however safegaurd them im some way, (put them in containers of water so theyll just go out if they fall over/ put them on something metal/ceramic)

youll be fine, i think youll find this to be long overdue, what you have planned is the envy of every psychonaut (whether they know it or not)

save the fruit for sunrise for your break"fast", and breakfast takes on a whole new meaning (that is of course if you dose at sunset / sunset +2 hours cuz its winter)

reading wont happen, youre eyes become hard to focus, and the candle light really synergizes with it.

i find that all unnatural light (screens/leds/ lightbulbs) are less than comfortable whereas the candles almost make you feel warm.

they way the candles flicker and cast shadows is great! be sure to make sure airflow is to a minimum around your candles or the flickering will be too much

Thanks for replying I love hearing your opinion. Yea since I am taking a higher dose I won't bother reading until 8-10hr+. I can't wait to meditate during the vision portion and see what pachamama wishes to show me.

Cacti are one of my favorite things for meditation. I can slip into that meditative state SO much more easily.

I completely agree mate. I drank 9 in of bridgessi about 6months back and I meditated for about an hour with ease on the come down. I am looking forward to this!
