Substance; Argyreia Nervosa (Hawaiian strain) Dosage; 5 Seeds chewed and kept in cheeks for 30 minutes then swallowed
I purchased a good amount of seeds and ethno's to experiment with and plant over the summer. This particular trip happened a week or so after the fourth of July. If this runs a little long, sorry, but that's how I write. I find it pretty hard to find words to describe how I feel on these things. I'll do my best.
*Just a warning this story is about me taking a shit so it might be a little gross*
The day I planned to take the seeds was actually on the fourth of July, but plans changed. I think it would've been great to see the fireworks on LSA though. Anyway, about a week later, I decided I'd finally try the stuff. I avoided eating for a majority of the day, only drinking lemonade, eating oranges, garlic, ginger, and all that good stuff (acids to potentiate, garlic to alleviate nausea.) So I finally popped five of the seeds in my mouth at about 2:00, and swallowed them at 2:30. This was after scraping off the fuzzy outer coat, which I've heard contains most of the unwanted alkaloids. They tasted like bitter almonds, and made my mouth itch about 5 minutes in.
I didn't feel anything other than an itchy mouth for the first 30 minutes, and then I was hit with a wave of nausea out of nowhere. By 3:15, I was feeling all the negatives, and no positives. Heavy arms, all around vasoconstriction, racing heart, and still a really fucking itchy mouth.
I found some epsom salt, and for some stupid reason thought it would be a great idea to down some with some water. I guess my thinking was that the sulfur in the salt would destroy the cyanogenic glycosides affecting my body (which upon further research may not even be present in the first place). The worst part about this decision was that I had a ziploc full of Datura sitting in the same counter. Apparently, I also lost some cognitive function.
At 3:30 I thought I was a goddamn genius. Vasoconstriction - gone. Arms felt floaty rather than heavy. Whole body felt great. And best of all, my mouth stopped itching. No OEVs or CEVs yet, but I wasn't expecting much. Looked in the mirror and saw my HUGE dilated pupils looking back, with a cartoony grin. At this point I couldn't stop laughing. I felt amazing.
Approximately 4:00. I was in chair, grabbing my stomach while gasping. I felt like I had swallowed a couple live fish and they were desperately trying to find a way out. Horrible cramps, gas, and abdominal pain. I later found out that epsom salt is also used as a mild laxative. I still had this great feeling in my head, though. I gathered enough strength to move to the toilet, and stayed for like 45 minutes. Nothing. I hadn't eaten anything other than some fruit and garlic.
5:00 ish. Got off the toilet. Sitting down for a while made the pain go away. Until I got up. Immediately, my colon started crawling again. I made it as far as my living room and then just lay there. I managed to grab the tv remote. Maybe if I watch something, I'll get my mind off of this. I think I watched some stupid cop show rerun, wasn't able to keep up with it.
6:00. Again I trekked to the bathroom. I figured if I could just get something out, I would feel all better. When I got to the toilet, I closed my eyes and focused really hard. This is probably the hardest I've ever strained in my life. Just as I was about to give up, there it was *Plop*
My eyes were still closed at this point, and I'm certain what I saw next was the LSA. Little translucent streaks floated in all directions, somewhat resembling fireworks without the fire. Those were the only visuals of the day, perfectly timed I might say.
6:20. I was back in my living room, on the carpet again. I liked this spot. Turned off the tv, and just stared at the ceiling for a while. I think this was the peak for me, but I couldn't really tell (all the negatives before clouded some of the experience). As I sat there, a high pitched ringing developed. The more I focused on it the louder it got. But I noticed that with this ringing was some sort of euphoric, fuzzy feeling in my head. The louder it got, the better it felt. I relaxed and let it get really loud. Too loud. Next thing I know I'm hunched over a garbage can, puking. There was no nausea, just needed to expel some stuff I guess.
From 7:00 on, the day was great. Lay down, listen to some music and felt alright until about 8:00. Didn't hear the ringing again for the rest of the trip, but it was still great. I felt like I knew everything. Somehow, I found myself looking at some renaissance paintings. They were beautiful, but more than just beautiful. I came across Primavera (Allegory of Spring) and fell in love. And I've probably seen that painting like 100 times and never before looked twice at it. I don't consider myself an art person at all, but something about that painting... They redefined beauty. I went outside to a couple project sites. I had little shoots coming out of the ground at that time, nothing really growing yet. I just imagined what the plants would be like in a month. In a year. And then in 50 years. My mind went to a place where it has never been, and I can't quite explain it.
Around five hours after I swallowed the seeds, I felt it coming down. Checked the mirror again, but my pupils were still dilated. Decided there wasn't much more to experience and went to sleep.
So, besides my idiotic and extremely ignorant mistake of taking magnesium sulfate to ease my nausea it was a great trip. The nausea probably would have been less painful than the stomach pain. Very cerebral trip, mostly in my head. My thoughts flowed, nice warm feeling, and I loved every single song I heard. Didn't feel much effects on my body and the epsom salt completely obliterated the vasoconstriction (and other negatives). I've since had many great trips on HBWR, and I have to tell you - just use datura and ginger. Or just ginger. Or just HBWR. The nausea isn't all that bad after the first few times. I've heard cannabis helps but I don't mix my stuff with weed too often, just doesn't work for me. I still feel like I learned the most from this first trip, and I wouldn't change a single thing if I could go back in time.
Edit: I've also since tried CWE but I don't like it. It feels like a different trip altogether, and I'm certain this is because one of the friendly little molecules that we like isn't water soluble.
