H.B. Woodrose Seeds - 1st time - immersive visuals
Dose: One seed initially, followed by nine seeds later that night.
Summary: Surprisingly powerful. Difficult moments due to inadeqaute preparation and improper setting. Powerful mind-fuck; feelings of insight. Immersive visuals at peak.
I must admit I grossly underestimated the power of these seeds. I hadn't done much research on them prior, and I just made the assumption that they were some kind of cheap, legal LSD substitue.
Was I ever wrong.
Around 10pm, I ate one seed to sample the taste, and to see if I noticed any small effects. I had completely forgoten I had even taken the seed, when at around midnight, while riding the metro, I noticed some subtle effects: increased awareness and interest in my surroundings, heightened visual and auditory sensations, and slight time dilation. Very mild and pleasant.
I was heading that night with my roommate to a loft party, consisting of mostly jungle and some live bands. I still noticed some subtle effects while at the party, and was really enjoying myself. At around 2am, I chewed the remaining 9 seeds, holding them in my mouth for as long as possible.
About an hour to 90 minutes later, the first strong trip sensations began. I felt a great sense of anticipation, and slight nauseau. The mental component of the trip was very strong: thoughts fluttered through my head at a rapid pace, with several novel ideas, and feelings of insight. There were very few visual effects at this point, and not much of an emotional component either. It was a cold, hard, analytical trip.
As the intensity of the trip progressed, I found myself become uncomfortable and anxious surrounded by people, overwhlemed by the increasingly strong sensation. I went to sit by the door to the party, and ended up meeting a guy from Turkey. I almost forgot I was tripping at this point.
By about 5:30, the trip was becoming too strong for me to handle in that setting. My roommate wanted to leave soon, but I was in no position to do so. I ended up sitting by myself, in a half asleep daze, trying to clear my mind. At this point the Turkish guy I had befriended noticed that I didn't look to well, and thinking that I must be really drunk, motioned his friend (who lived in the loft) to let me crash at his place.
The moment I entered the bedroom, the tone of the trip changed dramatically for the positive. Meeting people from Turkey (I had travelled there previously) brought back images of beautiful, mosaic-covered interiours of mosques. I lay down on the bed, and suddenly the visuals began in earnest: swirling, vibrant colours surrounded me. I felt as if I was in the company of a powerful, comforting spiritual presence.
I drifted in and out of sleep, as the visuals contintued. My brain fluttered back in time to every passage I had read in the previous days (about Taoism, self-concept, etc). It seemed as though arriving at either the right or wrong passage could dramastically change the course of my trip.
I woke up at the peak, with a feeling of exceptional mental clarity. I was surrounded by images of clouds. Amidst these clouds was a clear image of a royal elephant (a very Indian-like image) covered in glistening human eyes. In contrast to the confusion of the trip before, my mind was completely focused on the image before me. So this is what enlightenment feels like, I thought to myself.
When I finally got out of bed a few hours later, my trip was pretty much over. I had a bout of nauseau, and rushed to the toilet, but did not vomit.
All in all, a difficult but rich and rewarding trip. I have learnt the hard way not to use high doses of psychedelics in a party setting. I look forward to exploring the further use of these seeds.
