Foreword: My friend has experienced with several Psychedelics in his past, 2C-E, 2C-B, A.Muscaria, LSD, etc.
My point is; he knows what psychedelics are like, and he believes that Acacia Confusa is psychedelic, without MAOI's.
-------------------why does he believe that?-------------------------------------------
Some months ago my friend decided to do his first experiment with DMT, by consuming Ayahuasca.
He checked the laws regarding export/import of various MAOI containing herbs to his country, and saw that Syrian Rue, Banisteriopsis caapi, and other plants were classified as drugs (which you need a prescription to import/export).
But he had already received his 150 grams of shredded Acacia Confusa root bark, and thought the extraction TEK's looked advanced and out of his league.
He had read one trip report about AC being active without a MAOI, due to beta carbolines. (
0.6% )
He decided to be a lab rat and try a large dose of AC without MAOI, in the name of science.
He measured up 2 liters of water, added the 150grams of ACRB, and a sliced kiwi (to acidify the water slightly).
He placed it on his stove and sat it on the second lowest heat, 2 out of 9. After about 15 minutes the water started to simmer. After 4 hours of simmering he took out the 2 pieces of kiwi, and added 2 new ones.
He let it simmer for about 8 hours, about half of the water had evaporated. (1L left.)
He drank 250ml of the foul-tasting liquid in one go, and laid down on his couch. After only 15 minutes he felt quite energetic, and happy. This lasted for about 50 minutes.
He couldn't tell whether the effects had been placebo or not after those 50minutes, so he decided to drink the 750ml he had left.
He filled a 1Liter juice bottle with the remaining liquid, 750ml, (350ml left for air, he made a hole in the bottle's "neck", to prevent vacuum) and chugged it down, he immediately felt like puking, but managed to hold it down by lying on the couch. the nausea lasted for 5minutes.
After circa 15minutes the walls in his rooms became very "smooth", soothing. He closed his eyes and were (literally)struck by a weird sensation, the music he was playing on his stereo disappeared, he could no longer feel his jaw, legs, arms, the only thing he could feel was his brain. It's hard to explain, it was intense and like nothing he had experienced before.
With his eyes closed, he saw beautiful floating rivers of colors taking the shape of different animals. It filled his vision completely, no area in his vision was not filled with colors.
During his experience, he only felt awe.
This lasted for circa 40minutes, and he was very satisfied with this experience, but looks forward to trying DMT-freebase.
