Hi all
So i've read a few threads on using the volcano for freebase crystal and one on changa and there seems to be some mixed opinions...
i've been smoking changa through a bong for the past few years with success but after A very difficult mushroom experience about a year ago every time I smoke changa i'm too scared/worried to hit it as hard as I used to. at around 08:30 this morning I tried smoking 50mg of a 2:1(caapi base) changa and as usual started getting worried at around 10 seconds after inhaling and exhaled leading to a very subtle experience.
I decided to try 80mg in my volcano classic to see if it's possible to have a less instant cross-over. I set it to the highest temp and filled a bag almost completely full. The vapor tasted amazing, the first few draws seemed to taste much more like caapi than spice... I managed to keep every draw for at least 15 seconds before exhaling and after the second thought I had wasted 80mg of a very nice batch... After the third or fourth draw I was suddenly "THERE
and had a bit of a fright as it was very unexpected.
There was no come-up or feeling of strong gravity or feeling like my face is being pulled like I usually get when I smoke it. It felt exactly like the part of an ayahuasca journey just after the come-up. I didn't have a complete break-through but I was able to see my life from a much more clear perspective with lots of huforia... After getting my heart rate down and relaxing I started enjoying the experience and kept vaping for maybe 90 minutes more. Over all I vaped 150mg but the experience went on for the next 3-4 hours for some reason. I didn't have any more insights/visuals after 30min of the last baloon of vapor but I had a very intense stoned/sedated feeling for a few hours more. Could the stoned/sedated feeling be the Caapi?
I had an amazing time but don't think i'll do this again for a few weeks as I ended up spending much more time with it than I planned for. Also I didn't have the usual afterglow I get from smoking it through a bong, but the stoned feeling was quite enjoyable as well. Over all I think this is the way i'll do it in the future as I think I learned much more from the experience than a 5 minute bong experience. So i'm guessing a different base might be better for this as well to avoid the Caapi effect? Has anyone else experienced this with Caapi as well?
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed.”
