I have some powdered African dream root and was wondering what a normal dose would be. I have searched extensively online and found a vast range of dosages, so I am consulting the nexus  . Also what are your thoughts on encapsulating powdered ADR? or should I froth it in water? All post are made by SWIM. I am not SWIM.

which type do you have? I understand there are several different african dream roots, silene capensis and something kirkii being the ones I commonly see for sale. Luckily, I think they have similar preparation. There is a good thread by Phlux- around here about the traditional preparation of these roots (frothing and eating foam) but that never worked for me with prepowdered kirkii root or whole silene capensis, feshly shredded. I also have very hard water which supposedly keeps soapy things from foaming, so it may not be the products fault. At any rate, I've had good success by cold steeping ground up material for 1 - 24 hours and filtering through a coffee filter, 200 - 500 mgs worth per dose, drank in the morning 0.5+ hours before eating. The traditional usage that I've read about doesn't involve ingesting any of the plant solids, and I think that its wise to follow suit. I was very pleased with the effects, I hope it treats you well also

I'm reading about Silene capensis and found some great info: http://www.shaman-austra...639&st=0&start=0You have to be in Hell to see Heaven - W. BurroughsUbu is a surreal personage. Everything he does is pure fiction. Everything he says is pure nonsense.

WOW! Thanks for the link! I've also been looking for some better instructions for Silene usage, but its hard to come across. This is definitely good knowledge as its coming from someone who's experienced with it! Excited to start my experimenting!
