1. Very Harsh
with minimal effect. But I'm not very experienced with that sort of thing. Some people swear by it.

PM me if you want other feedback.

3. I Know It's Legal -- Maybe I'm Just Paranoid
Sometimes the rules change once a particular plant or chemical gets popular. I had a disappointing experience with silvia several years ago. Maybe it was my own ineptitude with following instructions. Maybe it's a matter of body chemistry. Some people swear by it.

4. not my fave
seems it hits some folks harder than others; i'm apparently susceptible.

5. wild trip
I think most people would consider it a harsh trip. I had never done any other hallucinogens before, so I didn't know what to expect. My druggie friend said it was well beyond acid or mushrooms anyway though.

I didn't think it fun, but I found it interesting. I'd kind of like to do it one more time, by myself (not recommended I know) in a dark room with which I'm familiar, just to see what would come out of MY mind (the time I did it, I had my friend sitting with me, at his place, so my trip seemed to be very affected by his presence and my surroundings).

btw, when I did it, the speed at which it takes over is phenomenal, approx 15 seconds after taking a hit, I was well on my way. After that, time is warped completely. 5 minutes seemed like two hours.

6. Would you like to turn into a merry-go-round
with half of your selfhood projecting back through time to a moment when you were four? Would you like to alternate between the "reality" of a moment in your childhood and the "reality" of the moment you are in?

13. It was certainly interesting
I don't think I would ever do it again, though.

I did some severely intense psycho-tripping for about 5 minutes. If you do it, make absolutely sure that there's someone else there to keep an eye on you.

I've never been that far out of it before on anything. (Well, maybe a couple times on nitrous as I fished out...) We had a video camera while we were doing it too.

I was a little embarassed and weirded out upon watching the tape. It seemed like I was out for a long time -- but in reality it probably wasn't even 5 minutes. And I was doing some weird, weird stuff while I was "gone".

Definitely not to be done by one's self.
