Last night I embarked on a much anticipated, end-of-finals-week trip.


My last Rue/Acacia trip was intense at what I thought was 10g Acacia, but this turned out to be an underestimate of dose because last night 10g was much milder. The reason my previous dose was higher than I thought was because I did one wash of 10g, then accidentally fell asleep and burned the next wash. So I did two more washes with 6g and hoped this would be roughly equivalent to 10g. Like I said, this resulted in a greater dose than 10g, because my 10g tea I made last night was weaker.

Although I was enjoying the trip (only my third) I was still disappointed that I wasn't going as deep as my previous trip. The peak was much shorter, and during the come down the thought hit me that I should smoke some enhanced peppermint leaf I had, since the Rue was still in my system. This turned out to be a great idea and I will most likely smoke enhanced leaf during my future Aya journeys.

The first hit brought me back to my Aya peak, the second hit took me further, and after the third, I was gone. Unbelievable closed-eye visuals of incredible complexity followed. Much less geometric, more like everything in the world all mashed together while swirling and undulating.

I also had non-meditative music playing (Radiohead). When I really went deep I could hear Tom Yorke's voice drop like two octaves and hold out much longer than it should. Like time was coming to a slow standstill. Visuals were strongest at these moments and the feeling was incredible.

I saw machinery, as I've heard is common. It was a very complex assembly line. This caused a hilarious concept that kept coming up and bringing me to great laughter: "I don't know what they are making, and I don't know what you call it, but they're making a shit-ton of it!"

I have heard that smoked DMT tolerance builds up quickly, but recedes an hour later. I felt like I didn't build up any tolerance at all. As soon as I felt like reality was starting to come back, I would just hit the pipe again and blast off. I'm sure this is because of the Rue in my system.

I think Aya with smoked DMT in the ticket!

I never take aya or pharma without smoking DMT. It's my favorite part usually. You'll need a lower smoked dose than usual, and it takes ever-so-slightly longer for it to come on, so you wanna make sure you don't overdo it. You may find yourself taking two hits, thinking it seems pretty mild, but if you were just to wait that extra 10-15 seconds, you'd see you were already in for something gigantic.

I have heard this as well, but it has never been the case for me.
