First, let me state that I am roughly 150 pounds, began smoking three years ago, was sober for nine months of pregnancy last year. I have tripped once before over a year ago on mushrooms and had a great time doing so. This is the extent of my drug experience, and I don't ever plan to experiment with anything that isn't considered "natural". So, after reading up on HBWR seeds and hearing about how great they are from my boyfriend (J), we ordered some- one pack of Hawaiian strain and another pack of Indian strain from iamshaman.
We decided to eat the Indian strain first to see just how potent they were. I read that they were only half as powerful as the Hawaiian ones, so that's what we based our dosage upon. There were four of us for this- C, S, J, and myself. C and I scraped our seeds in hopes of avoiding all this nausea I've read about. It was extremely tedious but pretty easy once you got the hang of it. A nail file was used and that worked pretty well. J and S did NOT scrape their seeds. C, S, and J all ground their seeds (20 apiece) to a powder in a food processor and added the powder to OJ. They each drank their whole cups. I did not grind mine, but rather chewed 10 of them. The taste was bearable for all of one minute and then I couldn't take it anymore and swallowed them down rather than hold them beneath my tongue like I had planned.
Within thirty minutes, we all felt something and J and S had thrown up. I felt extremely nauseous, and my stomach sucks at emptying itself. So I went to the bathroom and purged, feeling better afterward. J or S (I can't remember which) threw up again, and I'm pretty sure C did as well at this time (she definitely did at SOME point in the first hour). Once the bathroom was free again, I purged some more and miserably slumped against the tub. I remember pressing my hands against my face and trying to breathe evenly. I felt extremely light-headed and giddy, maybe a little panicky but not in an unpleasant way? When I uncovered my eyes, the first thing I looked at were my feet pressing against the wall in front of me. It must have been the lighting working with the effects of the seeds, because they looked bloated and dead- as if they belonged to a corpse.
This was extremely interesting to me, and I couldn't stop laughing at it. Because I felt as if they were a corpse's feet, my mind seemed to cut the feeling off in them. Finally I moved them, and things seemed back on track. I went back to the couch, and the visual stimulation was paused. This was good, because at that point my body decided that everything felt NICE. The act of breathing felt good. Any part of my body brushing another part of my body was wonderful. At this point, I ground up 5 seeds and added them to a glass of OJ. S and C both took a gulp from it and I finished the rest. J was laying on a mattress on the floor, and I joined him. I just sort of laid there, rubbing my legs against the mattress because the material felt cool.
Eventually, the body load kicked in and I felt like I had taken a couple good painkillers. I thought that this was how a page felt once a book closed, and that in turn made me begin to think of the universe as a stack of papers, each paper being a different... dimension? I have trouble putting it into words. I kept thinking that what we perceive is just one step in a huge staircase that our souls have the climb. I tried to explain this to everyone else, but I couldn't put the words together and gave up. I think everyone tried to say something about what they were thinking, but it just... didn't work.
Unfortunately, as J, S, and I were experiencing all this, C was sitting on the couch, 22 seeds in, and feeling absolutely nothing. We had read that anti-depressants cut off the effects of LSA, and the articles had been correct. So she set about making cookies. J attempted to help her, but found that he was incapable of even baking simple sugar cookies and returned to the mattress. She brought us all spoonfuls of chocolate icing. I've read that other people don't think that these seeds enhance anything food-related, but that icing was absolutely amazing. The feeling of the cold spoon in my mouth was interesting as well, and it stayed there long after the icing . Eventually, I took it out and saw that J was being VERY slow about eating his icing as well.
After this, I'm pretty sure J and I cuddled for a long time, and that felt especially nice. We just sort of ran our fingers over each other's arms. We didn't have sex since there were two other people around, but I'm pretty sure that the seeds would have made it awesome. Talking to him was easy, and we agree that the whole experience was good for our relationship. I highly recommend doing this with your significant other if they're comfortable with the idea.
Visuals weren't too crazy at this point at all. Some patterns, brushstrokes looked as if they were flowing. The paintings in the room were cool, though. I remember being positive that the paintings were windows into another world, and each painting was a different world. Pretty cool.
Eventually, I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning at 7 AM (went to bed around 1 or 2) from a dreamless sleep. I felt pretty well-rested, but tired at the same time. As if I had done something strenuous the day before but got a good night's rest. No matter how much I tried to go back to sleep, I couldn't. S and C woke up to take S to work, and we got breakfast. I still felt the effects a little. My body felt fluid? That's the best way I can describe it. But breakfast tasted particularly GREAT, though we did have to pace ourselves despite how hungry we were. Eating too quickly seemed to make us nauseous again, eating slowly seemed to allow our stomachs to settle between bites.
It was a good time. Light visuals, appreciation for music skyrocketed (Gorillaz never sounded so good), had some good introspective thoughts about myself and the universe, and any sort of physical contact was awesome. Remember that if you're taking anti-depressants, these seeds are a WASTE OF TIME. They will NOT do anything for you. C took TWENTY SEVEN of these and felt NOTHING. It should also be noted that I was feeling VERY stressed and having a lot of anxiety before we did this, and it seemed to rid my brain of it. I still have anxiety, but no where near to the extent that I did before this trip. Maybe its a coincidence and the seeds didn't help at all, but I think they did. I had also been having a lot of scary thoughts about death- almost to an obsessive point- and after eating these seeds I have been much more relaxed and okay with the thought of dying.
So yeah! Have fun and don't underestimate 'em!
We will be camping and trying the Hawaiian strain soon! I'll most likely write a report for those as well. Sorry if this was too long...
