Should I be concerned if my spice tastes nice?
It's reminiscent of wattle flowers, which have quite favorable scent to my olfactory factory.

Does anyone find it isn't as harsh, or as 'chemical' as is reported?

waz it made from wattle?
SWIM thinks it smells and tastes like lemon grass oil personally... and a bit like privet flowers...
the chemical nasty plastic thing is just in peoples imaginations and lack of olfactory creativity...
a silly association with the fact its a chemical...
shit whats not a chemical?

I always figured it tastes a lot more organic than most describe. My housemates think it smells like old cupboards.

Whatever the smell or taste, I've certainly built up a good few associations with it.

My first few times it numbed my tongue and tasted chemically almost. Now I can't even taste it and it doesn't numb my tongue.

usually nasty chemically smell is from nasty chemicals...SWIMs spice smells like beautiful flowers...

some times a pull will smell like floral grape... with nutty undertones lol a hint of orange and oak

Fantastic!

Well, 'my' (foaf's) spice, is yummy! A bit of vanilla in there too. haha.

Wow, heaps of olfactory imagination around here!




Honestly, i'm not certain. But on the way home, in desperate need of a toilet.. after buying a pipe for the express purpose.. serendipity lead me directly to an active tree that needed watering.
Weird, hey?!

My sugar glider's first batch of Noman STB spice smelled like fresh lotus blossoms and cat tails by the swamp out in the midsouth and west country. When burned it was a sweet plastic scent.

Swim says, it smells like flowers.

SWIM's smells sweet and earthy... he imagines like a wild beesnest in the hole of a gnarled tree.
It smokes smoothly. It's from jurema.
He found evaporate to be harsher than freeze precip.
He suspects that this 'plastic death' taste that people talk about could be from nasty chemicals still in it, but maybe alternatively as a result of having taken a RIMA/MAO-A first? Then maybe the body could even subsequently associates all further experiences with similar revulsion? This is pure speculation, based on how jurema brew tasted fine the first time, but awful after rue.

Rue is just awful stuff. A truely awful seed to work with.

My friend quite likes the smell and taste of spice too.

I drank Rue tea once (well filtered) and didn't find it bad at all except for the acidity, but that was from too much lemon juice. No nausea either. I also really love the fragrance of the seeds when smoking them.
Funny how people's tastes vary! But hey, I like Laphroaig...

I absolutely agree dmt smells not bad at all! Provided it's pure of course. Sometimes it even took over the smell of Palo Santo when that was in the air.

man....the very slightest whiff of spice makes SWIM's knees buckle. that smell is not only AMAZING, but SWIM honestly believes that it has a psychologically intoxicating effect as well. no joke!! it is SUCH an amazing aroma!! totally unique and powerful....would someone PLEASE make a cologne outta this stuff!!

....we can call it "new spice"...word.

LOVE AND GRATITUDE!!

doesnt smell bad but sometimes tastes like burnt peanuts weird

now that sounds like bufo...

Swim's taste worse then meth

haha !

Id buy it.

well all you have to do is smoke the stuff 24/7 and believe SWIM..you will start to reek of dmt...SWIM had a friend who went very very far with the spice one year...and he always smelled like it...it takes quite some effort to do though..

Smell/scent is the strongest objectum sense tied to memory.
