Thread: Calea, no effect

I got liquid Calea extract, i swished about 1.5TSP in mout for 10minutes then swallowed 2nights in a row. No effects what so ever. Ima keep trying everynight, but yeah....:-(

I've ordered the dried leaves for cig(smoke) and tea. I'll post my results and lets see what this stuff can possibly do! Other users have a least posted vivid or strange dreams.

Extract of anything isn't worth a dime. I tried Salvia extract and it didn't even alter my consciousness, and it hurt my mouth like hydrochloric acid. If I were you, I'd get the dry leaf extract. It works a whole lot better. I made tea with Calea and it drastically increased the vividity of my dreams.

Instead of drinking Calea tea -- which is reputed to taste really nasty- you can put the herb into capsules.

Actually, salvia extract is extremely potent. The highest I know of is about 35x or 40x in which just the smallest wiff of smoke is needed, but even the 10x is very stong stuff. Its just that about 10% of people can't feel it, it's like a gene or something. I just ordered some 10x calea, it should be here tomorrow and I'm gonna smoke it out of a bowl.

Well i asked around about calea, and i guess it dosnt work on most people untill about the 4-5th time its used. So yeah, I wouldnt use the 10x untill normal calea effects you.

4th night using, i took .5TSP, at like 8, then like 1.2TSP at 9...its 9:30. Im wasiting money everytime i get no effect, and that makes me angry :-*(

Calea Zacatechichi is almost universally overpriced, and often of questionable quality. If you do break through and start getting effects perhaps you might want to consider growing it.

Good luck.

Edit: Tip, its said that if you take enough that you can start to hear/feel your heart beat that you should go straight to bed and it will work.

I bought 114 grams for testing. Unless the affects are overwhelmingly good, once I'm out, I'm out. For 18$ I would say yeah that's not cheap tea or cigs.

Jup I second this! Read it too that some people don't feel the effects of salvia, thank god I'm not one of them

about the Calea... I've bought it too recently made a tea of it and drank it... To be honoust I NEVER EVER want to taste that taste again, damn man it was fucking GROSS...

Unfortunatly after my first cup of Calea tea a mate arrived and we went boozing so I had no effects of it...

thx for the tip about capsules that I hadn't thaught about that before

(As a side note salvia hardheads (those who dont get a strong effect from good product) often benefit from mixing ~1 part Salvia splendens extract with ~2 parts Salvia divinorum extract, there seems to be a synergism between the closely related terpenoids from the two that lets salvinorin get past the neurochemical block that salvia hardheads have)

I meant liquid extract. The dry leaf extract is quite potent. I can attest to that.

I got my Tea leaves in yesterday so did some minimal testing. Although it didnt produce a lucid I had some vivid dreams. Also, after I drank the tea, I did a mind machine session around the Delta levels while feeling the affects of the Tea. I have to say the visuals were really great and my state of mind was defintely raised to a level of Zen. I was feeling very tranquil after the session. I know light and sound machines have a greater affect but I think they work well together.

wow, firsttime of use and it works. LOL NO ONE BUY CALEA ZACATECHICHI EXTRACT FROM IAMSHAMAN.COM!!!!!!

Iv consecutivly taking 1.5-2TSP everynight for 5nights in a row with no effects.....hurray...lol.
Luckily...im getting like 1/2oz from friend so i can test smoking/tea.

Also, im going 2 wait untill friday to try the liquid extract tincture again ill see if the wait will work.

My friend had visuals lastnight of a pine tree, he was moving up it very close, weird? I WANT THE EFFECTS!!+!!!

I defintely had to add some other tea with flavor. Not the best tasting stuff in the world. I need some papers too!

I got my 1 g 10x calea z today from iamshaman and I'm gonna hit it from a bowl. I'm gonna smoke it all and I mixed in about a bowls worth or 5x salvia. I've also taken 300 mg B6. Wish me luck.

yeah just be carefull, 10x is as potent as 10g. +5g for the 5x.

I have some drug dealing Major stoner friends, i think they have been smoking this stuff way too much because they say there livers or kidneys are hurting bad, note this is after smoking about 1/2oz. Then next day like 3 bowl packs, then the 3rd day (get effects) like 3bowl packs...i think that might be a little much?

All that stuff I smoked was 3 bowls and a blunt. I didn't notice my dreams being more realistic than usual, but there were several occasions where I noticed that what was going on was weird, like everyone driving on the wrong side of the road, but I didn't attribute it to dreaming. So far that's te closest I've gotten to LDing.

Had some more Calea tea last night. Again no Lucids but it does increase the vividness and clarity of dreams.

Ok im getitng really tired of having no calea effects, so i just put about 6TSP into a cup and drank it,.
Ur only supposed 2 have 1tsp.
So if im never on Dv's anymore im dead.
Also if this dosnt give me effects im very pissed.

been 15minutes, nothing.

Eurm I thought you have to be asleep to have effects....

No my friends have the bud, they smoke it and get there worlds turn upside down, there mind races, and they see things a little, and are euphoric. Then they crash, but u can sleep for only like 1hour and then rest of day be wide awake, and happy. This is whats its like b4 school 4 them. If u take b4 long sleep you get the crazy dream effects.

I'll tell you what, I've had this TEA probably 4 times. But for some reason last night, the shi+ wouldnt let me sleep. I was pretty pissed about it. I don't think I used more than 3 grams but possibly 4. I dont know how much more testing I'm going to do with this stuff. It maybe better for afternoon naps when there is no pressure to sleep. I think I've had just as good results with one B6 a night.

P.S. Although I say this and I did have a lucid this morning but I was using the audio file to trigger as well.
