Ive done lots of pyschedelics and in large doses: 5 tabs of acid, a quarter of hawaiian mushrooms, a quarter of phisopher stones etc. but i can say without a doubt, the most enlightening, intense, and rewarding drug experience i have ever had was after eating hash. it might be my brain chemistry, or the quality of the hash (best black hash ive ever seen, including from popeye in amsterdam, came stamped from marrakech and i sold it for 50 a gram). i was young and wanted to really transcend reality. i had briefly read excerpts (or listened to terence mckenna read from) confessions of a hashish eater, and got really interested. i was on a long cruise, and decided to eat 7 gram balls on an empty stomach. i know this sounds insane but i took them like pills with water. i wont even get into the details of what i saw and felt, but i can tell you that my panic at an impending death i percieved was eventually calmed by what i percieved to be the precence of god ( the logos). any similar experiences/ freakouts?
I dont care how good hash is its never ever worth 50 I have a good hook up on shit from humboldt which is probably some of the best sheesh in the states and i only pay 20, either way i love eating it. We made a batch of hash cookies the other day, its also good if you drop some in your soup while still making it and it will melt in. for the 7 grams thing i dont even know if I beleive you even if its true it would just be stupid I have ate and smoked alot of hash before and I almost had an anxiety attack which is really wierd because i NEVER get anxiety.
I did have a panic attack. I thought for sure i was gonna have a heart attack and was crying and shaking on the ground.
ive talked more in detail about what i saw and felt, and it was described to me by others to be a near death experience. i also agree with eman resu when it comes to anxiety, many people that are experienced smokers freak in amsterdam off of one or two spacecakes. it was a strange panic, i wasnt afraid so much of death as i was (as crazy as this sounds) dying at the hands of what I percieved to be a "the demiurge" asd some mystics say (Living death). my panic subsided with what i truly believe to be the logos manifesting itself to me, that is the only face of god we can see without dying. this was followed by a gift of spiritual enlightenment that has forever changed my life. my friends speculates that maybe i was actually close enough to death that my brain released dmt, which im not totally sure about... but i would reccomend hash "overdose", as horribly terrifying and unpleasant as it is, to anyone that is remotely interested in mind expansion.
yes, i'm quite interested in trying again the wonders of oral cannabis consumption....particularly after reading "food of the gods" again all the way through recently (a terrence mckenna book) the sections on hashish and other cannabis preparations, while not the main focus of the book, are quite interesting. its amazing how dosage, expectations, set and setting, etc. all play such a big factor in how a drug effects you. for instance, westerners experiementing with hashish many, many years ago when it was largely unknown to the bulk of western society often found it to be QUITE psychedelic! even today people who eat or smoke a large quantity find it to be so, and lately i've been interested in trying to smoke large quantities or eat large quantities and enjoy the effects laying in bed with my eyes closed, trying to some psychedelic activity rather than just sitting around giggling at the boob tube. the problem, for me, is my tendency to pass out/fall asleep if i get too high. perhaps eating a lot along with taking some coffee might help?
in tradition, hashish was eaten with some cups of bitter coffee in order to have faster, harder effects.
I agree that high dosage of oral cannabis actives can be quite psychedelic. Much different than smoking, where high doses get you.. um really high, stoned, and possible panicky or cause anxiety.
well i had lots of anxiety, but i also was wide awake. i would truly recommend to anyone interested in mind expansion not to overlook the power of oral hashish. like i said ive taken 5 tabs of good acid before and found it much more enjoyable, and though powerful, not as enlightening as 7 grams of hashish. its not to be taken lightly, and nothing like smoking even the best weed. the reading from (i forget the name but its something like confessions of a hashish eater) was read by mckenna, and i downloaded it from kazaa like five years ago, but its very interesting. i should also mention that i was 17 when i had my experience...
