@Rocketeerjim: Thank you! SWIM also feels that he is among friends.
@ragabr: After reading about DMT, SWIM's first interest was on extracting and smoking it. Therefore, SWIM has been here on the nexus for a couple of months now, even though he hasn't registered. SWIM read about the many teks, and tried to understand all the chemistry involved with no avail, chemistry being his worst field of expertise.
So, SWIM asked his girlfriend, who is a chemist, to help him understand.
Afterwards, SWIM got the impression that Ayahuasca is more spiritual than smoking freebase DMT, so he changed his route accordingly. SWIM doesn't know why he got that impression, he says that maybe it is because smoking lasts only for 5-15 minutes, while the oral method lasts much longer, and maybe it is because Ayahuasca is a traditional medicine of the shamans, who must be related to spirituality in one way or another.
Anyway, the only obstacle left for SWIM was that brewing the Ayahuasca tea needed too much time, and moreover, he didn't have the certain privacy needed for the process. Hence, SWIM continued researching, eventually finding out that DMT can also be orally active without brewing into a tea. He made up his mind, and decided that he will try orally activated DMT, and maybe continue with other methods in the future. SWIM's primary objective is spiritual understanding and development, so if he achieves this, SWIM doubts he will try the other methods.
SWIM's first trial will be with the caapi extract and 5 grams of mimosa powder. SWIM will mix the caapi extract with orange juice and drink it. Then, after 30 minutes, he will mix the mimosa powder with orange juice and drink it. Unfortunately, SWIM doesn't know the potent of the caapi exract, but he is told that it is not effective as expected, but it is hoped to be enough for MAOI to take place. If things don't go as planned, SWIM also has plenty of syrian rue powder, so he can always call in reinforcements.
The only concern SWIM has is about the fasting. He is not sure of what to eat, or even to eat or not, due to the possible purge. Also, he isn't sure when to start fasting and how long should he fast after the experience. But SWIM is also not sure if the Introduction section of the forums is suitable for these types of questions. He wants to try his luck and post them anyway.
Finally, if anyone has any comment on either the dosage or the method described above, feel free to shoot.
@Uncle Knucles: Thank you, SWIM believes that everything will go well, with the help and support of the nexus community.
