Hi all, sorry for rushing in with a question for my first post only I'm in a dilema. my friend just had first attempt at aya he had 40g of mimosa hostilis whole root bark. so he used just over 15g shredded it to make tea he simmered the root for half an hour with half a lemons juice then filtered it out and then repeted 3 times he was left with a purplish drink about a cups worth. He ground up 2 grams of Syrian rue. He took the rue half hour later drank the mimosa. Two hours later no affect and now I'm posting what does he do next? He still has over 20g hostilis and 45g of Syrian rue. Did he take enough rue? Can he take more rue? Thank you

welcome to the Nexus mvwales

to start with you have to take your time, rushing these things is a fast route to disaster.

Im not sure the doses you have chosen are not really good starting points, you should read through the forum and see what is suggested for first time drinkers, 15g of mhrb is alot and could easily destroy you, i think your lucky it didnt kick in. brewing rue is also better than eating whole seeds ime.

id read up on preperation a little more, the Aya sub forum is rammed with the info you need.

good luck with your experimentation

I have read trough forums for weeks and the web I brewed 15g to have a spare drink in case I purged it out to soon I only drunk half of the brew

did you eat all the rue?

All 2g

i would eat more (3g) and brew them for 3x1hr(ground) or 4x1hr(whole), this makes it easier to access the goodies.

i would cut down on the MHRB dose also, there are plenty of people that will be blown away with 5g. You may need more but taking a big dose of these plants when you dont know your sensitivity is dodgy.

for me it was a long learning period with brews, starting low and building up was a good way to get a feel for the territory, keeping notes of what doses/ROA you have used is also usefull.

good luck

Thank you very much for your help I will leave it for now wait till the times right again and re experiment will takes notes of this fail too thanks

its not a fail, its a first step

Nice way of thinking of it very positive
