I have wondered if the tongue prickles might be like the initial 'buzzz' sound - they both herald the effects of a big hit coming on !

I've discoverd that cocoa nibs and dates go together well - a sweet and 'sour' effect ! Dip the date in the nibs, and munch the mixture into a sweet chocolate - I could eat a quarter pound of nibs that way !

I've tried roasting Syrian Rue seeds once, and I just dehydrated them in a frying pan before smoking. I assumed I needed high heat, so I used fire to ignite teh bowl - maybe a vape' will also do if hot enough...

Very glad I've found this thread. I've experienced the same thing many times, inability to remember though not the tounge prickles. Actually about 1 1/2 hours ago I blasted off and I can remember a flash or rush and a tremendous feeling of welcoming, then it was just the comedown and CEVs and I haven't been able to remember anything more. That was with some unmeasured harmala freebase taken a few minutes pre-blastoff. It doesn't seem to improve memory for me but does lengthen the comedown, and I believe improve mental clarity.

That is a very very distinct feeling.

Reminds me of chewing on ice cubes. Or snow (if it was carbonated.)

SWIM blasted off again tonight, and feels that with each journey, he is able to remember a fraction more than the last time. Its like hes gettin used to the expereince and can bring more back with him. This time he remembers being at some kinda hyperspace cross roads where time didnt exist. Things that he has planned in the future, he couldnt remember if he had done them yet or not, it was a weird feelin but way cool. He finds it hard to concentrate on the nature of his surroundings when hes there. Must make more effort to pay attention next time.

Maybe Gingko Biloba would help?
I wouldn't try it without someone elses opinion first (because I don't know how it potentiates with DMT.)
But I have heard of people mixing Gingko with psychedelics to remember their trips.

I personally say, go with a light MAOI before you blast off next time.

Hmmm ginkos a good shout.
SWIM will certainly be tryin it with a MOAI at some point. Just gotta wait for the next paycheck till he can place the order. Not long now : )
