I took one small leaf, about 3 inches long, and smoked it in a special
high-powered bong I made for the occasion. I did this in a woodland on a sunny
morning, sitting in a lounge chair. On the first toke I got a grin and a
feeling not unlike the onset of a mushroom high. On the second, I finished the
leaf, felt something big coming on. I cleared the smoke from the bong on the
third smoke and got hit over the head with the most powerful rush I've ever
had. I struggled to get myself prone in the chair, fearing loss of muscle
control. Everything looked the same, but it was obviously another, parallel
dimension. It was utterly different, unfamiliar, threatening, and I had the
sort of feeling one gets when in extreme danger, of heightened awareness of
being, of the strangeness of it all, of , "this is really happening to
me". I forced myself to relax and observe, and achieved complete muscle
relaxation. There were now two of me I plainly sensed: the old me, in the old
dimension, sluggish, weighted down, unenergetic, oddly populated with my
relationship with my wife; and a new, pure existence in the new dimension -
but - the new dimension was unpopulated, I was alone in it and profoundly
lonely. I sensed that I could be sucked irrevocably into this new existence
where I would be entirely alone, extremely powerful, and capable of anything.
It felt like I would be in a realm of sociopathy where I would not recognise
anything but myself (rather like the Christian "god" or even Bill
Gates!). I felt a love of my old self, a fear of losing its familiar old shoe
comfort, a fear of losing my relationship with my wife. The view of this new
dimension was not shaded or anesthetized in any way, I was not
"high", I was just THERE, in complete reality. This only lasted a
couple of minutes. I felt a bit trippy afterwards for about half an hour, then
I was back to normal, whatever that is! I was not put off the drug by this
experience, but I am a bit wary, and next time I'll chew a quid instead of
smoking, to slow down the rush.
