I used 15g of crazy vine and 25g pv. I was able to drink the pv without much trouble and nausea was minor. Almost puked only once.
Consuming powdered, sieved plant material with alcohol and water added is ideal for mimosa because the bulk is low. With leaf it is too high. I find I need to add 25ml water for every 5g leaf to make it drinkable. That brings it up to about 175ml volume.
Going 40 or 50g with leaf would be near impossible. The method is only good for small intro leaf quantities. I don't think I could handle any more than 25g leaf with this method.
For leaf, I'm going back to brewing it. I'll use alcohol or vinegar or a combination of both.

Lately I've been drinking once or twice a week trying to nail down my methods, but sometimes I've gone months without it. Do you drink it much?

His tone of voice was like you dictating the law here at Mycotopia. "This is the way it is, like it or lump it." :)
The stuff I wrote down still has impact for me personally but the full drama of it faded with the trip. Often I write stuff down and later forget about it or see it as no big deal, but on a future trip I remember the words and suddenly they have their full meaning again. Maybe it is like those zen sayings that only make sense when you are in a certain frame of mind.
I want to develop methods that everyone can use. I can cope with lots of sediment and even eating whole plant material but I may be in the small minority. I don't want to start a website with methods all geared towarrds myself. I have to develop more universally convenient ones. This could take a long time. Fuck it, maybe basic moc/ rue and mimosa recipies would do for starters and add other methods later as I refine them.

First I remembered not to struggle just kind of surrender so it just build up to the purge and I let it go.There was feeling of a snake curling its way thru my inards while this was going on though.
That was when I hit the dmt space. Like another dimension was added first there was alot of hyper sensitive audio like bugs crickets chirping, grinding etc. alot. Then the colors started to get hues of mostly blues, purples and a amazing green this green was almost living and pulsing it probably represented the vine in hind site.
There where some jungle secenarios but no animals yet. Well there were insects and snakes I felt like there was something there that I could not see just a feeling.
I remember alot of questioning on my part about different aspects of my life like I was talking with someone. Some of the positives where my diet that I have been on for my 5th year. My consistent exercise that seemed to really help detox, and really basically trying to be a good person. These things seemed to anchor me to a place I felt comfortable. There were some things I was made aware that I might want to change in myself.
I almost felt like I was being tested or something like that I felt like I was drifting in and out like a dream and eventually just fell asleep in the recliner.
The whole thing only seemed to last 3-4 hours. Like I said I have a hard time trying to explain these inner landscapes because words do them no justice.
I am looking forward to doing this outside when the weather is warmer should be better out in nature with a fire going you know.
Have you ever read the "DMT the spirit molecule" ?

I never read the spirit molecule book but i might get it soon. "Antipodes of the mind" by benny shanon is an excellent book all about describing and classifying what aya trips contain.
Relaxation is important on aya but it is easier said than done. I never get proper diarrhoea on aya and i think it is due to some tension in my abdomen which i need to cure. I'm always paranoid about puking up my precious brew, especially in the wrong places. I'd like to take it in nature where I could puke wherever i wanted.
What ingredients did you use and how much?

a phrase i recall from my only aya tripMaybe it is like those zen sayings that only make sense when you are in a certain frame of mind.
which eventually surfaced into my consciousness a day later was
"without boundaries".

The value of the weak dose was that I could easily think about the insights instead of being blasted out of the water like on a visionary dose. I could integrate them into my ordinary conciousness more easily and think about how to apply them. It was as valuable as any stronger dose. I might experiment with some purposefully light trips for a change. Amazing insights on high doses are a waste if they fade with the trip and you can't integrate them into your life for long term improvement.

You see practical value in cultures with shamans they provide healing on a physical and emotional level, spiritual guidance, divination etc.
But how do we integrate this into western culture ? that to me seems to be the challenge. More to come.
