TEK - swim bites off more than he can chew

[dirt]

This was definatly something swim had to post. I will go throw it step by step just as he said it happened.
In the area where swim lives you can spot a san Pedro growing on just about every street he had his eye on one in particular for about two years.
He watches it grow in hiegth about 3 feet from the first time he laid eyes on it.
It was a Friday when a friend showed up to his home with a large back pack full of cacti.

His friend then explained the house with the cacti in the front yard had become yet another foreclosed victim of the housing market. Swim lay out the precise in a vertical line to see how many feet he had; it was a little over 6. Swim knew from many past experiences 2 and a half feet was about an average dose. swim slice the stalk into long sections and lay them in the sun to dry he know from past experience this would cut down on the thick snot he often got when preparing fresh cacti into a tea.

After about three days the cacti was about 60% dry so he put it into the freezer to break down the cell walls next it was thawed out cut up into small peaces and soaked in vinegar with a 5% acidity for several hours. It took about five days to get to this point and his friend who had got the cacti was getting inpatient.
The entire payload was placed into a large stew pot with water covering about an inch over the top of the green chunks. He then let it simmer at a low temp for about 8 hours adding little bits of water when to much had evaporated. After the first 8 hours swim removed the chunks putting them into a second pot. He measerd the tea and it was about 36 oz of liquid.

now if you remember swim started out with about 6 feet of fresh cacti so he figured three hits at best it was not the weekend and he could not dose so he gave a 12oz cup to his friend who was to impatient to wait . His friend explained a good body high and some visuals. Swim put fresh water into the second pot with the chunks and boiled at a low temp for about three more hours. He then use a t-shirt and strand the second tea throw leaving nothing but the outer waxy skin in the shirt. He combined the first and second tea and placed them into the oven at about 250 as the water evaporated swim could tell the tea had concentrated quite a bit more than what his friend had got. It condensed down to a 24oz mark he put on the pot and he was done. Swim figured this should be two good hits for him and another friend who had showed patients. Next swim poured the tea into a large butter tub and put it into the freezer.

now it’s the week end swim considered eating it like a snow cone but after a small taste of the top of what was frozen in the butter dish he thought it best to drank it warm he fill the sink with hot water and placed the frozen butter tub down in it. As the tea melted he pore it off little by little into his 12oz glass. now is there any one reading this that has eat a snow cone and as you suck the flavor and color disappear leaving behind a cone of ice with no more kool-ad flavor and very little kool-ad color .

Well if swim had half a brain he would have saw this was what he was accomplishing the large chunk of ice still in the butter tub was a light brown and the tea he was poring into his cup was a thick blackish sludge. most of the time swim drinks san Pedro tea the full effect wont be felt for 2 hours this time it was 45 min into it and he was freaking out man.

He wanted to puke his body felt like he eat M.D.A he was getting visuals like l.s.d and at the end of the night he got put into a bad head space do to an episode of robot chicken…

Not to mention usually 12" of cactus is a standard dose. Or so swim told me.

It was a lack of description of the tripp that was disappointing. It's hard to tell did you "bite off more then you could chew" because of the dose (which was hard to comprehend due to the process), or because of external factors. Expand on the set and setting, give a bit of a time line, talk about emotions and visions.

The phrase "freaking out man" doesn't hold a lot of meaning with out context. Did you have a death tripp before ego breaking, paranoid "people out to get me" thoughts, being overwhelmed and not knowing the experience was going to end?

When you mention visuals, describe them, colours, shapes, fractals, morphing, animals, "like LSD" doesn't really mean a whole lot, nobody's met folks who've never gotten visuals off of LSD.

And as far as watching a violent cartoon with bizarre animation putting you into a bad head space, were you expecting otherwise?

Things like "all crazy and shit" "Tripping out" "way freaky" are common in tripp reports, yet they tell us nothing. They don't give any real insight to what occurred, and why the internal/external factors involved resulted in the stated experience and opinions of the experience.

You say the next day you were in an afterglow, which seems contradictory to a bad tripp. Go into some detail on this. Did it seem bad at the time and in retrospect you understand why it was that way, or was the uplift after sleep seemingly unconnected the to the previous day.

You did do a decent job writing up your procedure and keeping track of your dose through changes in concentration.
