Hello, everyone! After a few misses I actually made the registration window! First of all I would like to thank the members of this community for helping me along my journey so far. I honestly feel none of what I have experienced would be possible without your contributions and advice. (I'm happy I finally have the capability to communicate with you all!) I hope that with time I'll be able to help someone or guide them on their journey.
As for myself, I'm fortunate to be able to spend my days doing what I love and creating as a tattoo artist in CT. It's an amazing to be able to create something that will positively impact a person's life, possibly forever. My interest in the molecule started about six years ago when I had first learned of it. Not until recently have I been able to procure it, by my own means, which I'm grateful for. I'm much wiser and patient than in the past and after experiencing the power of the molecule I'm glad it took such a long time, everything happens for a reason I suppose.
Anywhoo.. I have been trying several different teks, combining some, changing steps just trying to figure out what will work for me. I'm currently extracting from ACRB and had mild success from the first extraction, each one getting better. I do have questions but that's not why I'm here. I've only been doing 50g extractions to gain experience and to be able to try different things without being wasteful. My yields have been somewhat low I think but the important part is that I have successfully extracted the molecule.
Since this is the only area I can post in at the moment I thought I would share some of my experiences with you, maybe get some insight, advice or just simply have a chat.
experience 1 - After the first extraction I was left with goo, being enthusiastically curious I tried an unmeasured amount of the goo, a small amount and it was pure joy! The molecule was in there, I had succeeded! The OEV were comparable to a decent LSD trip but notably different. I was elated to say the least.
experience 2 - 25mg through a CVG. I took a moderate pull from the pipe, held in the vapor, closed my eyes, laid back and exhaled. Dark fractals appeared, the color of the old scrambled porn channels during the 90's. There was a sense of euphoria. I snapped back into this world and took a large second pull, during this pull I had to try very hard to hold onto reality as everything was turning to cubes and separating.. or so it seemed. I held the pull, laid back, exhaled.. I felt my my extremities converge into one large mass as I was absorbed into what the molecule had to offer. The fractals got heavier and instantly moved away from me opening what I think was a tunnel. Just as fast as the tunnel appeared I was at the end of it... that's all I can really remember. Came back to reality with heavy, HEAVY, patterns and extremely bright light.
experience 3 - 20mg through CVG, took in the molecule the same as before. Had a strong experience for about 20 seconds then came to and just had the feeling that I had done something wrong.. like I had been caught doing something wrong, ya know? Felt like an a-hole and was a bummer to hang out with the rest of the night.
experience 4 - 35mg CVG, same as before. Came on strong as usual, all of a sudden I was in a room made of energy. (I notice some people's descriptions are very vivid, I see objects and being but it's all made of energy, no physical manifestations), In this room there is maybe four or five "beings" made of energy, just nonchalantly working in this room and they would glance over at me and look at me like "who is this guy?". One of them approached me and told me I don't belong here and said he was sending me back and told me to understand what I was messing with.
experience 5 - 45mg CVG immediately after I was told to understand what I was messing with. I took the entire dose in one inhalation. The onset was the fastest thing I have ever experienced in my life.. I've had longer to prepare for an imminent car accident. I knew immediately I had underestimated the power of the molecule. I was INSTANTLY back in this same room only there was an overwhelming sound of chaos and the beings were telling me that I had broken reality and I could never go back. Then suddenly the chaos stopped.. and everything was back to normal.. still in that room, feeling like I had messed up their work.. I came back to this world sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
I then stopped for a week. Studied writings, listened to McKenna, read other people's experiences, read about the molecular structure of the molecule, read about it's significance in tribal ritual, basically absorbed myself into what I had been told. I literally contemplated my own existence for two days also if I would be meeting the universe face to face ever again.
experience 6 - a few hours ago. I had gone over to my older brother's house to let him see what it's like first hand. I gave him 20mg in my new GVG. I tried explaining there's a learning curve as to how the molecule is smoked and although he was satisfied there was a small amount left in the GVG so I consumed it. While he was someplace else he laughed and as he laughed the room sparkled. I knew at that moment it was safe to step back into their territory. So after everything had returned to normal for the both of us I put 25mg into the GVG and took a big pull, laid back and exhaled.. The CEV came on hard and I heard something, someone say "welcome back" and I sprang up in my seat because I didn't know if they wanted me to tread as far as I wanted to go. I opened my eyes and the OEV was intense and I unintentionally closed my eyes sitting up and the brightest most exciting CEV I ever had was dancing behind my eyelids. All I could do was smile and take deep breaths, each breath excited whatever I was looking at and in return it excited me. I snapped out of it after about a minute and had intense OEV, I took another pull and tried as hard as I could to hang on to this world so I could try to experience this phenomena in this realm. I was surreal, THE BEST experience I've had from any hallucinogen, ever.
experience 7 - Right before I started typing this. 25mg GVG. I wanted to experience more of the experience on our side of the coin. I was able to keep my eyes open for the whole experience. I made sure I was in dead silence in a very tiny room, dimly lit. It was very introspective. My mind was totally relaxed.. I sat in a meditative position and just observed my surroundings. Being in such a confined place gave me the sense that I was able to actually face the molecule as a creature.. if that make sense. I could see every wall, the floor and ceiling directly in front of me, I was surrounded by it's power. That in itself was mind blowing for me.
So, yeah! It's been a strange couple of weeks but earlier was simply astounding! The lesson I learned thus far is I need to take a step back and appreciate what the molecule has to offer instead of jumping in headfirst into the control room of reality.. I might accidentally break something..
So hopefully, someone reads this or takes something from what I've typed. I could continue but I'm so tired now. I'll check in in the morning! Thank you, guys.
