Gir and Soulfern(newish member) hung out last night. We decided since tak was going to see the new "twighlight" extravoganza, that we would ingest some brugmansia. I had grown a bit of an affinity for it since ingesting a small (around 3 dried tiny leaves) amount of it with some guayusa, yerba mate and some passionflower.

I split up our tea bags equally, I used roughly 6 leaves for each of us, some sticks just because, and then added some wild lettuce. We put all this into a teabag and I microwaved some water to get it hot not boiling (i got an electric stove it takes FOREVER). I poured the hot water into both our glasses and allowed the tea to steep for about 15-20 minutes.

I forgot about it for an extra minute or so, but it was of course perfect. Added about 2 spoons of turbinado sugar, and stirred it in. It was delishus. We downed the glasses in about 10 minutes, and while we were drinking it, started smoking harmalas.

We smoked about 3 bowls of Crude Harmala extract (Manske no harmine/harmaline separation) and the next bowl I attempted to pack, almost failed. I had lost my balance almost completely, and walking was such a task. It was like someone put a big cinder block on each of my shoulder blades, and then pushed me in circles. It was a wonderful feeling. Bowl number 4 had about 8-10mg of spice on it, nothing major. We shared the smoke and enjoyed it a lot. We smoked 1 more bowl like this.

At that moment in time, we both started to fall into a lucid dreaming state, half awake, half hallucinations. I would look over at fern and he would be asleep" and then open his eyes and smile and say wow. Soulfern had gotten up to pack another bowl...but we both decided against it because we were close to "exhaustion" and just wanted to lay in bed together listening to Levitating Turtle Mix by Ott.

I was so relaxed, I kept drifting in between what looked like the waiting room for hyperspace, and a jungle area. I saw the weirdest entity, He had grass for skin, and there were these....whippy tentacally strips of grass flowing off him, and blowing in an invisible wind. He wasnt close, or far away, but somewhat in between the reality planes I could see. He walked through them with ease, nothing seemed to stop him, and he looked so sad. I found a good picture that almost takes the cake on what he looked like, except this is not the color, and he is not sad, and did not have a "nose".

I fell asleep shortly after seeing him. Then woke up again, almost at the same time as Soulfern. He left, I went back to bed and lay there, hallucinating, dreaming, healing, melding, what have you. I felt like a superior force, and utterly cosmic, one with everything, and 150% Integrated with Everything, everywhere, at the exact same time.

It was Awesome.

Waow Gir ! I'm happy you found how to work with Toé.
The first few encounters are very important to establish the sort of relationship with the plant essence.
This is a very good introduction !
