Report on the Experience


Preparation of Syrian Rue and Mimosa Hostilis


To begin the experience, Syrian Rue was powdered in a mortar and pestle, then consumed with milk. After ingesting the Syrian Rue, the individual waited for approximately 45 minutes before consuming a mixture of 7g of Mimosa Hostilis root bark (MHRB) blended into a banana smoothie. However, the quantity of liquid proved difficult to ingest, and only 6g of MHRB was consumed. Despite the unpleasant taste, it was noted that it was far less challenging than the traditional method of brewing ayahuasca, which the individual was already familiar with.


At this point, the companion, DemFractalsYo, was also preparing for the experience, using the Ayahuasca cupcake method. She ingested 2g of Syrian Rue and roughly 2.5g of MHRB.


Initial Effects in the Living Room


After consuming the substances, the two spent approximately one hour in the well-lit living room, waiting for the effects to manifest. The first sensations that the individual experienced included a distinct body high characterized by a warm, soft bodily glow. Additionally, there was a noticeable brightening of the colors around her.


In terms of cognitive effects, she began to experience feelings of anxiety and paranoia, wondering whether it was the right time to take ayahuasca. There was a pervasive sense that “something was not right,” though the cause of this feeling was not immediately apparent. Reflecting on her recent use of ayahuasca, the individual realized that she had been consuming the substance daily for an extended period, which made her decide that she would take a break after this experience. Though the anxiety persisted, it eventually faded when she redirected her focus to other matters.


Onset of Anxiety and Paranoia


The individual’s mental state was marked by a heightened sense of anxiety. The overwhelming feeling that something was wrong lingered, even after she concluded that taking a break from ayahuasca use was necessary. Despite the anxiety, she managed to keep herself grounded by diverting her attention to other things, which helped the unease subside.


Transition to the Dark Room


Feeling that the trip had progressed enough, the two decided to move into a small, dark room they had prepared for the journey. The darkness, minimal light, and seclusion were intended to provide an environment that could maximize the effects of the ayahuasca experience.


Upon entering the dark room, the individual began to feel as if her subconscious was “messing with” or “trolling” her. There was a strong sense of internal conflict, as though the experience was attempting to teach her something important, which in turn heightened feelings of anxiety. She shared this with her companion, DemFractalsYo. Their conversation was cut short by a loud noise when a shelf collapsed behind them, scattering objects onto the floor. The sudden disruption terrified the individual and deepened the sense that the universe itself was “trolling” her as part of some cosmic test.


Intensification of Visuals and Geometry


As the effects deepened, the individual began to experience level 4 visual geometry, a hallmark of the ayahuasca experience. The visuals consisted of fast-moving, intricate geometric patterns, which were organic and mystically charged. The geometry was characterized by smooth, flowing motion and a balanced mix of blurred and sharp edges. The colors were vibrant and glossy, and the visuals felt ancient, natural, and full of deep meaning.


At this point, both the individual and DemFractalsYo realized they were approaching the peak of their experience. To intensify the effects, they decided to smoke marijuana, which further enhanced the experience.


External Disruption


After some time, the individual’s roommate knocked on the door and informed them that a close friend had arrived in the living room for his birthday. Despite the intensity of the trip, the pair decided to leave the small, dark room and venture out to wish him a happy birthday.


Closing Thoughts


The experience was profound, marked by intense visual and emotional effects. While there was a distinct sense of anxiety throughout the trip, this did not overwhelm the individual, who was able to navigate through the experience with the help of her companion. The combination of Syrian Rue and Mimosa Hostilis in the Ayahuasca Smoothie recipe provided a powerful, transformative journey. Despite the challenges of ingestion and the intense feelings of paranoia, the experience was deeply meaningful and marked by a sense of heightened awareness.
