This is a trip report from SWIM's first experience of ayahuasca made using mimosa hostilis as the DMT containing constituent:
To make the brew SWIM ground up 6.75g of mimosa hostilis rootbark and 2.6g of syrian rue seeds (as it was SWIMs first time he used slightly less than the recipe stated) and put the powders in a pot. He then acidified 1/2 lite of mineral water with the juice of 1 lemon and about 300mg of vitamin C powder. He added about 1/3 of this solution to the pot and boiled the ingredients for 15mins or so until the mixture had turned dark brown. SWIM filtered it with a fine metal mesh and did it again 2 more times. Then added all the brew together and evaporated it down to about 200ml, he probably should've reduced it further as it apparnetly tasted absolutely horrible, makes him feel sick thinking about it.
Anyways he couldn't gulp the brew down, as he had planned on doing, so ee sipped it over the space of about 15mins and then closed the curtains, lit some candles and laid down on the sofa. After this he was already feeling pretty sedated probably due to the syrian rue seeds. Unfortunately 5mins later the sickness arrived, it made him feel pretty bad but SWIM knew that if he was sick he wouldn't trip so he had to ride it out. About an hour after drinking the brew SWIM was feeling really ill, the sickness kept coming in waves getting worse and worse so I ran to the kitchen sink ready to be sick. Fortunately he couldn't for some reason be sick but, and staring down into the sink he realised the trip had finally started. The metal of the basin started to move and swirl around as if it was molten, as soon as he started tripping he was able to push the sickness out of his mind and it didn't really bother him for the rest of the day.
The rest of the trip report is written as if SWIM had written it for simplicities sake:
After staring into the sink for a while I walked back over to the sofa and closed my eyes. I saw some stunning visuals, lots of swirling and rippling mulitcolored patterns. After another hour or so the trip really intensified I could barely walk around, my body felt warm and numb at the same time and I was experiences extreme euphoria. I walked around my house and whatever I looked at started morphing into other shapes and twirling around. I looked at myself in the mirror but couldn't for long as it was quite scary seeing my own reflection changing and distorting, and at points taking on a completely different appearance. I layed back on the sofa for a bit and it was like I was on a boat, the whole room was swaying and my closed eye visuals were even more beautiful. I was also seeing patterns and ripples on anything I looked at.
3hours in I was still tripping just as hard. I went on to my computer and stuck some music on and it sounded so good. The music seemed to make patterns in the air and made everything in my room come alive. As I looked at the computer screen images popped out of the screen towards me as if I had 3d glasses on. I flicked through some magazines and the pictures in them jumped out of the pages and morphed and changed as well. I looked across my room and the whole house seemed to be changing shape, the walls were shrinking and getting larger and looking through the door to the living room, the entire room seemed be moving. I'd say I was peaking for about 2 and a half hours then I started coming down around 4hours after drinking the brew. But I remained tripping for hours and hours. 7hours into the trip I went out to a friends house, hallucinations had all but ceased although I was still feeling the affect of the brew pretty much until I fell asleep which was 16hours after I had drunk it. Although I had thought the hallucinations had stopped, me and my friends drove to town to get some food by which time it was dark (about 10hours in), I started noticing more hallucinations different to the ones I had been experiecing. I was seeing lots of tracers, balls of light flying around and any light reflecting off anything seemed to ripple towards me.
It is really hard to do this incredible experience justice but to summarize the affects I had very strong halluciations where everything seemed to distort and change shape, as well as move and spin around. I'm not sure how these hallucinations compare to acid or shrooms as I am yet to try either but they are the strongest I have experienced so far, they completely blew my HBRW hallucinations away. I felt very euphoric, my speech was slurred, I couldn't walk without stumbling around and I had very pronouced and intricate closed eye visuals. Music sounded amazing also my thought patterns were very messed up. I kept having memories popping up from my childhood and I was finding it very hard to remember what I had been doing all day, or anything in the past month for that matter.
