First real trial of Amanitas : Grade A Siberian, ordered one ounce for 20-30 bucks, approx 4-6x of SWIM's experimented doses below, maybe 2-3x epicer doses.
3 medium Sized caps : SWIM felt this amount was a "below average" dose for the average 'tolerant' person. BTW SWIM did not mind the taste; it was extreme, but tasted earthyish; SWIM just took bites and ate it nornal, the taste is unique.
T- ~1 hours :
3 mid-size caps, 1 cup of green tea : SWIM began to walk on the beach. SWIM was set up and prepped for it, and thus the immersion came on calm. SWIM noticed lights and colors responded alot alike what SWIM remembers with MDMA, pleasant and undistracting.
T- ~1.5 L : In Full effect, SWIM noted the comparison people throw to xanax. SWIM did get that depressive aspect, but it was aimed at a different area and SWIM's anxiety departed without much hampering side-effect (SWIM gets drunk of xanax usually, does not help his anxiety at all). As SWIM was walking he began to feel contented, with an increased aptitude to isolate thoughts; Nothing compared to LSD, but still it was... different and interesting, while neutral.
SWIM also noted an elevated emotional-detection prowess. In a single episode, SWIM almost broke into tears through no real stimulus; he felt like he was feeling his emotions flow, but were contained successfully and standard. He let it pass and nothing seemed to be of problem at all, the rest of his night was pristine.
T- ~2 : Smoked some cannabis (after driving, no problem - it was mild). Pleasant experience, great combo IMO, stayed awake for about T- 5hours to 3am, but that could have been solely from the tea.
Day 2:
Consumed 1 Huge cap the next day to stop some soul-ache : same mindset, sparse visual changes, same timeframe. Noted : conversation was initiated mid-experience with little to nil degradation in aptitude + slight anxiety relief. (SWIM noticed no tolerance)
SWIM had small doses and is chronically 'depressed/anxious/disconnected', and thus might not cover a full experience. SWIM experienced no nausea (maybe a tiny bit), pleasant mindset, dissipated anxiety, light visual 'shine', contentment. Nice, calming experience. Would repeat again, but SWIM likes getting to the otherside many ways; definitely should be used as a personal experience. Do Not Expect A 'Trip' or LSD! It was interesting, but not necessarily fun, crazy, or a 'trip'.
SWIM will post another account of his last batch, hopefully sooner in succession to the actual adventure :P.
