Nice thread. Too bad you haven't gotten any results yet. I'm definitely interested in getting some myself. I'll probably go read about it on DMT-nexus first. |

I'm going to be taking a break from the study for a week. It seems nothing is happening, which is odd considering the majority of the reports I've read on Silene Capensis end up with very good results taking place within 3 days. I figure it'd be good to take a few days off and see if the effects finally take place in the week to come, if anything does I'll be sure to update the thread. |

Mine arrived, but havent got it yet because Ive got to collect it from the parcel office. Will report tomorrow! |
|
Ok, tried mine out this morning. It frothed up pretty good in water. I made a video of it, I will upload it later so you can see what method I used, and what it looked like. |
|
Thats great LostOnTrains! I'm glad you got your's to froth up and thanks for the link, I guess I'll be ordering some root from that vendor when I get a chance. |
|
Alright the video is uploaded YouTube - Silene Capensis. Day 1 so you can see how I prepared mine. I used quite a lot, but after I was done, I put the lid on the jar and put it in the fridge. Im gonna re-use it each day, adding a bit more root when it needs it and changing for fresh water when I feel like it. |
|
Yeah I'm totally convinced I got an old harvest or bad batch now, yours looks quite fresh. I got mine from herbalfire.com, so I advise people to avoid that vendor if you plan on ordering some of this stuff. I'm from the US but considering you got really good results with the froth, I'm definitely considering paying a little extra to order from a vendor that I know has good stock. I might wait a week or two before I start up my research again, though. |

That looks a lot like the descriptions I've been reading all over the web. Quite a bit of foam to eat. It appears you didn't really pulverize it into dust; just a minute or so with the mortar and pestle to crush it up. |

Bear in mind I speeded up the preparation process on the video. The grinding took longer than is shown. Some parts were big and I had to take them out and cut them up more with scissors, and then grind some more. But yeah, mostly it was broken down into small chips rather than powder... my mortar and pestle isnt too good. Seemed to work okay though. |

Its to bad this drug isn't better documented because it would be great to know the best way to prepare it. |

@Anderj: can't wait to read about your results and thanks for the info, I'll make sure to double check vendors to make sure they aren't owned by herbalfire (not that I have anything against them, but seems like their silene capensis isn't of too great quality, can't speak for the rest of their stock) |

I finally collected all the materials needed to try out the Silene Capensis. |

Im not sure but I would say dont grind it. Use a mortar and pestle. All I can suggest, and I have no experience. |
|
Tried it faithfully for 7 days straight, each day eating the foam in the morning. |

It's a shame we haven't gotten good consistent results. On one hand Lostontrains managed to get it to foam, but it seems that like me, anderj can't seem to get it to foam either (perhaps try not grinding it to a complete powder, but do something like Lostontrains did). I didn't eat any meat but I heard that protein in general can counter it's effects. The problem is, I was eating lots of tofu which happens to have a lot of protein as well. One of the reasons I had imagined the protein couldn't haven't been the main factor is that some people did this for 3 months to gain permanent effects, and I can't imagine a diet that could last that long with omitting or reducing protein without there being some health concerns. So I really don't know what might be going wrong here. |

I'd say try reducing the protein. Not dangerously but enough. Maybe it's not protein at all, maybe its something else in meat |

I've heard that meat and/or protein negates its effects. It could be that perhaps we could try to reduce protein in take a bit for a few days while trying it out, but I can't imagine how some people manage reducing protein intake for 3 months (in order to gain permanency with the root's effects). |

hmm. I've been doing some research on techniques / instructions for taking it and haven't been able |

From the various bits and pieces Ive read online, its best to stop eating meat for a couple of days before taking the xhosa root, and then to continue not eating meat whilst taking it. |
