Oral use - Silene Capensis Dream Herb - How To?

[givememyleg]

Hello, I searched for other threads but was unsatisfied with the 5 the search engine found. SWIM ordered 1 oz of silene capensis and just got it today. On the said website, it instructs to:

Half a teaspoon is mixed with half a cup of water. This is drunk early in the morning upon waking, while the stomach is empty. When you feel hungry it is safe to have breakfast.

As with many herbal products, it may take a few days to "build-up" in your system, so don't get discouraged if you do not meet with success upon your first try working with this extraordinary plant.

So take it for a few days and hope something happens. However, it came as the root chopped up. It is not a powder that can be mixed with water. Also, this root is ROCK SOLID, how the hell is someone supposed to grind it up?

Is there another way swim can take this thing? Can it be weighed it out to like .5-1g and chewed instead of mixing with water?

I haven't found an account of anyone using this thing and saying it blew their dreams away so maybe someone is out $20... w/e. Has anyone used it before with good results?

Also, some info on the herb:

Known as African Dream Root or Ubulawu, this Silene Capensis plant is reportedly more effective than the better known Calea zacatechichi, often referred to as THE Dream Herb. It has been used for countless years by a culture who believes ancestors are contacted through dreams, so they cultivate and seek out plants that enhance dreaming. This African Dream Root is one of the best-known in Africa, and we are thrilled to offer it to our customers.

Normally only the seeds are available but we have finally managed to locate a supply of the actual root which is used by African shamans for accessing the dream state.

This sacred plant which shamans of the verdant river valleys of the eastern cape province of South Africa has the ability to induce remarkably vivid dreams.
