Hi,

I'm planning to go on a second experience with ayahuasca (actually a variant mimosahausca). My first trip was undoubtedly a bad one due to the headspace I was in, and the amount I took (13g mimosa, 8g of rue), which stopped me from letting go and caused me to fight the experience. I outlined the experience in my introduction essay. Saying that, there have been positive overall effects from that trip.

My first question is, when you close your eyes and feel yourself sinking 'backwards', is that the start of the out of body experience or breakthru? Is this is a common effect? It was this part that I fought so hard, and then felt 'vines' restrict me like I was going to die or something. Its like the plant wants to take you with her? Or am I reading too much into it?

Due to my first scale being off, I made a large cup worth of around 25-26g mimosa (!) which has been stored in the fridge. If I take a 1/4 cup to drink, can I then safely assume the effects of about 5g? Not sure about the properties of these drinks.


Any other tips are welcomed.

flying backwards, forewards, sideways etc..yes. With ayahuasca you fly.

That dose is just way to high. Try 3g of rue and 5g mimosa..that dose should do it for most people out there..some will need less..a small minority might need more..compared to what you took though that dose should be okay.

Ok, I will take approx ~1/5 of a cup (a few sips) of that 25g mimosa mega-brew and ~3g of rue then. Reading more about Syrian Rue on Erowid, its pretty toxic stuff, used for abortions even. Wondering now if the 8g I took contributed to the bad trip too.

Wow, 8 grams of rue did you get really sick from that?

Nothing serious, though I did feel very tight muscle restrictions around the throat and jaw during my trip. Feel now that I got lucky.
