I have quite a bit of Calamus Root (Acorus Americanus) and have yet to make my first batch of changa. I have began an experiment with cold extractions of Calamus root to induce lucid dreaming and I have had great success with it. I will be sharing these lab notes once I have access to other parts of the forum as it took my dreaming to a new level.

Ok. blah blah blah why are you typing to us Canvas?

I am thinking I should try making changa with it as my ancestors smoked, drank and chewed it. Being a lucid dreaming practitioner which directed me towards DMT and this forum, why not incorporate both?

I have no experience at all with Calamus other than my cold water extractions and was wondering if anyone had experience smoking it. I plan to first try 100mg at a 1:1 ratio by simply grinding it up and following the changa procedure here on the forum.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

i would try smoking some un-infused calamus to get a feel for it, and see if you like it.

you also might want to see if you want to make like a 5x calamus extract or something.

I've smoked calamus root before. The smoke was kind of harsh, very spicy tasting even through a bong, but after a while it did numb my throat. I've mostly only worked with this plant by chewing it. As was suggested above, try smoking a little bit on its own first, to see if it's even a taste you are into. For me, it was not a pleasant smoke.
