Just had my second MG experience yesterday... very ambivalent regarding whether or not I'll pursue it again.
Summary: Grueling, crippling nausea the first couple hours, amazing second half of the experience.
Preparation: Bought 12.5g untreated MG seeds from a local florist and ground them up with a coffee grinder, capping all of the matter (this used up 45 caps). I insist upon swallowing the plant matter because the only two times I've gotten psychedelic effects from these seeds have been ingesting them, not using extracts.
The Trip:
t + 0: It's 2:30pm and I down the seeds, feeling slight unease at the memory of my last, horrible experience with MGs. Hoping a better set (feeling great at the start of Summer!) and setting (it's a beautiful and sunny Summer day out and I have the house alone until at least 10pm) remedy this.
t + 30: Not feeling much except a slight nausea and lethargy. At this point, everything is very manageable.
t + 1:30: Now everything is really kicking into gear. The effects are becoming VERY noticeable (OEVs and CEVs and a dreamy, haze-like distortion of sound) but is difficult for me to pay attention to because the nausea is becoming absolutely crippling. I can feel it in every cell of my body and the vasoconstriction and aching muscles (mostly my inner thighs) isn't helping. I feel mostly poisoned and the nausea is as strong as when I was hospitalized with DKA. Just want this to be over... I vape up some ganja in an attempt to help. It doesn't lessen the nausea, but significantly increases the visual nature of the trip.
t + 2:00: After some significant vomiting, the nausea has finally just about dissipated completely. At this point, I'm feeling fantastic! I lay outside in the warmth (it was probably about 82 degrees out with full sun) in my backyard with some headphones on, listening to radiohead. The music sounds absolutely ASTOUNDING at this point (really, just as good as a strong acid trip! I'm quite surprised at this), it really melts over me and some closed-eye visual/audio synesthesia can be observed. The body high, now that the nausea is gone, is really out of this world, I am rolling around in the grass as if I'm rolling face on good pills, shuddering with ecstasy at the way the blades touch my skin. Movement seems to be a very big part of the experience for me: even while sitting on the couch or walking, I can't help but spontaneously moving around, in a fluid sort of way, it feels like a kind of dancing, as I'm infected by some spirit of movement. And, it just feels good to move. Outside, I stare awhile at the plants in my yard and the grass... the open eye visuals have a very organic feel to them, and are surprisingly reminiscent to those of a potent 2g cubensis trip. Closed eye visual, on the other hand, are a sort of weird mix between tryptamine organic qualities and phenethylamine characteristics, like lush 2c-e colors. The organic patterns seem to undergo digitalization/transformation into more mordern looking phen visual patterns, and vice versa.
t + 2:30: I go back inside and play some piano (mostly Chopin, some Rachmaninoff, a few of my own pieces), and am further amazed by this trip. Usually, entactogens are the drugs most conducive to music playing for me, as they allow me to open and be passionate more so than others... but this drug takes the cake for great music playing. I had crazy synesthesia seeing tracers move to the notes, and my playing was better than ever.
t + 3 to remainder... I lay down on my couch listening to music, getting lost in it. After an hour or so, i fall asleep (it's about 6pm now) and don't wake up until midnight. After I wake up, I go back to bed shortly, still feeling tired and wake up the next day. No hangover to speak of, a pleasant afterglow, I feel great.
So, basically this trip was very intense which surprised me... I'm split whether or not to do it again because while the second half blew me away and I loved it, the first half, mostly the nausea, was absolutely awful. Hmm..
