DOSE:
7 seeds rectal Anadenanthera peregrina (ground / crushed)
BODY WEIGHT: 175 lb
Current time 3:53 pm
Dose time: 1:05 pm

The experience lasted until about 2:15 p.m. Approximately, the after glow was for hours after that.

The method was boofing.

I felt the urge to vomit, but vomited 0 times. It wasn't easy.

This is my first Yopo seed journey and experience. I want to preface this by saying I have about 40 experiences of NN DMT with harmala under my belt and this is my first experience with a different type of DMT.

I am using a voice dictation app but everything is my words and my own voice. Some of the punctuation might be incorrect or sound funny due to this. I'll try to proof read it as much as I can.

I did this session laying down with my eyes closed in the bathroom.

Preparation

We got about 30 seeds and toasted them until they bulged. Then we peeled and removed the seed inner core from the outer husk. Some of the seeds, the inner core was burnt. You can see it; it's like a darker color and we removed those and only used the seeds that did not appear burnt

After that we acquired some lime. It's slaked lime. We are living in Thailand and they use this lime, a calcium material with betel nut, so we acquired some of that lime material. We mixed a 5:1 ratio, seed to lime.

Overall the yield was quite a lot. We discovered that each seed (including the appropriate 5:1 ratio) weighed about 175 mg. My total dose was, I believe, 1.11 g. I might be mistaken but it worked out to approximately seven seeds.

My friend and I decided to boof it in. We got our dose of the seeds mixed with the calcium and we put it in water and we found a syringe to insert into our butts. For reference we got two different syringes, one for each person.

The reason for boofing it is when you look at it, it's quite a lot of plant material. We both use Hapé and are not afraid of that; however it's quite a lot of plant material and I'm sure it is not healthy for the sinuses. Boofing from our experience was a very good choice and superior method.

The journey:
The dose came on quite fast after the injection. I began to feel hot flashes and warm in the face. It was nearly immediate.

In retrospect this journey lasted in five distinct chapters so I'm going to talk about each individual chapter

Chapter 1
The come up was quite harsh. I remember it peaked very early on, maybe after 5 or 10 minutes. The body load was extreme. I felt the urge to vomit but from my skill with working with Ayahuasca I learned to meditate and become open and empty. In which you do not use your brain; you do not think of any concepts. You just relax into it and if you have any thought process whatsoever, the urge to vomit is immense and you'll probably vomit and purge. As long as you maintain that space of openness you will have no urge to vomit and you can just rest as awareness like that.

If I had any thought whatsoever, I would begin to want to vomit so I just had to stay open.

I remember I saw this shape. It was like a square but it had rounded corners. My eyes were closed so all of the following would be closed-eye visuals throughout the entire experience. This shape had all of these different squiggly lines around it and maybe in it. These lines were squiggly and I remember that they were different colors. They were the colors purple, magenta, red, and deep blue. The overtone colors were dark. These colors were not neon colors, not like what you would get when smoking DMT or working with NN DMT. They were muted; they were not pastel colors and they would just move and squiggle and go around.

I remember I would look deeper into it and I would see flashes of white light. Just in that area imagine you see this image that I have described and then there is some sort of eggshell pattern in the middle or near the center of the image. The eggshell pattern was this bright white light. I remember I saw this shape. It was like a square but it had rounded corners.

The white light would flicker and then at this point the nausea was pretty strong and it began to subside and I thought the peak was over.

Chapter 2 (about 30-45 minuntes into it)

I was wrong about the peak; it began to peak again and I cannot understate the level of body load that this has had on me. It had me questioning why I was ever drawn to take Yopo seeds for a moment. I wanted to quit psychedelics. I couldn't recommend this substance to anyone in that moment. The body load was immense. It was very strong.
The body load was immense. It was very strong.
I cannot understate that .

I began to see, at this point, the patterns that I said before in Chapter 1 but now they have changed with this new peak of intensity. Now I saw these tiny square-shaped objects and they would form square patterns such as L shapes or plus signs or even crosses. They were bright yellow, white, green, and purple and sky blue. They were not neon colored. They were not pastel colored and they were bright.

I saw that it originated from two center points. The patterns were in the middle but it was two center points. It reminded me of that Indian artifact that has claws on either side. I forget what it's called but if you put that horizontal in your vision, there are two center points and the square shape images seem to emerge from that.

I cannot understate how heavy this body load was at this stage. I had some undertones of fear. It was very uncomfortable. I had to remain open, think of no concepts. I couldn't even talk and just focus on liberating any sort of concept or thought that passed into my mind with pure openness. If I had any thought, I would feel like purging; I felt like if I would vomit then I wouldn't stop vomiting for a long time because it was so strong. The body load was immense.

I remember feeling this feeling of being underwater. It was as if my light body, for lack of a better word, was underwater and I can feel this water all around me pulsate, just like water would flow and flicker and pulse. It also would change and have a current and I would feel like my body was being pulled in one direction or another. It was not really vibrating; it was more like being underwater in a wave pool, which is the best way I can describe it

I couldn't open my eyes. If I opened my eyes, I felt like I would puke.

I want to emphasize that in this chapter one, chapter two, and parts of chapter three it was very uncomfortable. I felt my body would move and I would have adjust myself, I just felt very uncomfortable. The body load was immense. Some elements of fear were present as my body and energy was eroding (disintegrating).

Chapter 3

At this stage I started to yawn. It was yawning like what I feel like when I drink ayahuasca, how the DMT activates in the brain and you begin to yawn. So at this stage I believed that the DMT was activating. I yawned probably six or seven strong yawns.

At this point the body load was still quite high and I remember thinking how it was so strong and at this stage the negative space began to be tangible. This I still had full control of my ego; my ego was present and my thinking faculties were still present but I was in this tangible space, different from NN DMT. It felt like it was over my body; it was not in my consciousness as what you experienced with NN DMT. I just felt this open buzzing and vibrating space

The space was not as clear as with Ayahuasca. It had some tangible matter in it. There were no visions; it was just darkness and it was more like what I felt, just being in this vast open space. Again if I had any thought process I would puke.

I recall feeling my body tingling and vibrating. I recall feeling that my body was disappearing or rather eroding slowly. It felt like the beginning of a death experience that you would experience on Ayahuasca

It felt like utter joy. I felt happiness, joy, and bliss. If I closed my eyes there was still darkness and it was just that open space but I couldn't help but smile and laugh at its strength and intensity. I felt like laughing and there were subtle undertones of elation. This was not a feeling of euphoria; this was not a feeling of ecstasy. It was just bliss.

I felt like if I relaxed enough and became open enough that at this stage I would disappear and go through a death simulation.

I want to add that in chapters one, two, and three there were undertones of fear. The deeper I got it was scary, and I just had to relax and open up into it.

Chapter 4 (about 1 hour into it)

At this stage it wasn't as overtly strong as Chapter 3 but it was still quite strong, like level 7.5 or level 8. I remember feeling my body eroding away and feeling as if I was disappearing. If I relaxed enough I definitely imagined that I would just have a death-like pure light experience. Everything was still black from what I saw and I was in this open space but somehow I felt like the color white was everywhere while I was seeing black. It was like white undertones. It's difficult to explain.

This space felt like a space that you can explore and it was nice compared to chapter one and chapter two in which I was questioning any reason why I took this substance. It made me want to never take psychedelics again. Chapter one and two were quite intense. Chapter three and four were blissful. This is where, like, the golden hour, as people say, took place and you can explore this space. I believe you can explore it by relaxing into it.

The nausea was still pretty strong in chapter four.

It was just blissful at this state and I just felt like I can relax and have no thought process and just be in this open space of awareness. Someone more skilled than me at being open might disappear and have a death simulation at the chapter 3 or chapter 4 stage.

I just remember in this chapter three, chapter four stage just feeling blissful, feeling so happy.

I remember now it's been about one hour and fifteen minutes into the experience and I had just gained the ability to talk and maybe open up my eyes a little.

The experience was quite blissful and amazing.

Chapter 5

Now I finally got the ability to sit up from my lying down position and walk around a little. I feel dizzy like I can't drive a car even two hours after the experience.

If I look at people, I see this blurry film around their body as if I can see their auras. The only way I can describe it is people look like I see their vitality. They look bright and alive.

Bright lights hurt.

I still feel a little bit dizzy as if I'm under the influence of something.

Now it is 4:30 p.m. And I took my dose at 1:30 p.m. And this is what I feel.

~|~|~|~

It's quite interesting how it's similar to Ayahuasca but very different at the same time. I cannot overstate how strong the body load is, especially during chapters one and two, and how the urge to puke is quite so much.

The body load is so strong, so I can't recommend this to the average psychedelic user, but for someone who wants to explore consciousness and different varieties of DMT, I would recommend it for them.

This medicine makes you put in work and survive the body load stage before it gives you the blissful disappearance in the following stages.

It would be interesting to try with low doses of harmala, but also maybe dangerous due to the presence of 5-meo-dmt. Not sure. More exploration is needed.
