HI! a FOAF wanted me to post her expereince to the internet so you all out there can be more informed :) This is what she wrote: I smoked three tiny crystals of 5-meo at 5:00pm. I sat down and began to notice a rather intense flushing feelinf that was most pronounced in my hands. Very intense semi-hallucinations appeared, mainly things like surface shimmering. Then it got real intense. Time seemed to suspend itself into infinite. I became aware of a "matrix" behind the normal reality. Behind all objects in my surroundings the matrix seemed to absorb the materialty and energy of the objects. I noticed an increase in heart rate. The person with me kept asking me if I was alright...but I could not answer. At one point the person took a picture of me. The flash seemed to tunnel out of the camera in burst of light which seemed to last a rather long time (alot longer than a normal flash). I guess I was in some kind of trance. When I started to come to I kept asking how much time had passed. I was really worried that the effects where too much and that it was not going to go away. All in all the peak lasted about six minutes. By ten minutes I was able to walk around. This type of pychedelic experience is one that I cannot really explain all that well. I guess I could say that it is definately unlike anything I have ever experienced. It was VERY intense. VERY intense. It was as if you took a large amount of Strotophorius and compacted the trip into five minutes. I don't think I had any 'visions', atleast I dont really remember. It was a rather frightening experience, interwoven with feeling of absolute astounishment. I could not believe that something could be so intense. Next I am going to mix up a batch of pengalum harmala and p. viridis leaves, and perhaps some phalaris extract, and a little bit of 5-meo. I have to be honest and say that I am apprehensive of the reaction this will cause. The DMT and 5-MEO trip is unlike anything. I hear that the typical ayahuasca trip lasts about 4 hours. If this trip is anything like the smoked 5-meo trip, I can only wonder what will happen. oh...by the way..I took my blood pressure as soon as I came to...and found that it was rather high...like 180/115 that high BP went away in about 15 minutes after all the effects had subsided. I warn anyone who is going to try this- the effects of 5-meo are not *fun* it is unlike any hallucinagen I have ever encountered and should be used cautiously and with someone how is educated and able to deal with any kind of crisis situation that may arise. -mary WELL- thats mary's experience in a nut shell. She is not that good at elaborating all the details, and quite frankly I don't think she remembers them that well. If you have any questions for mary she will take e-mail here at my address or you can post them in this forum.
