Another Calea Zacatechichi Topic

**Rozollo** · 09-21-2014 04:46 PM

I am making another thread because it is so hard to find information on dosage and tools. I'll be sure to spell everything for you guys so you can actually use this stuff well.

First, the taste. It is said that there is no worst taste than Calea Z. tea. That is a MASSIVE understatement. I drink black coffee, don't mind blue cheese or cilantro, and I can eat other things that most people hate. In other words, I am not a picky eater at all. This stuff just tastes like gagging.

With that out of the way, I'll get into Preparing Calea Zacatechichi Tea.

Allergy Test: every instruction I have found said to do this, so I will too. Put a leaf under your tongue for about 15 minutes, swallowing the juices that are formed. Chew it a bit after 15 minutes and spit it out. Wait about 15 to 30 minutes. If you notice no rashes forming and your lips don't feel itchy, you are in the clear. If that happens, take some benadryl and toss the Calea.

This tea was insanely easy, and the recipe I used made it simple.

Items you need:

3 Grams of dried calea
2 cups of cold water (16oz)
One small pot
Strainer
Stirring tool
Additives

The first step adding the calea to the pot. Make sure to measure it out. This is the lowest possible dose I have seen, so you want to be close for your first time, and so you don't waste all your product.

Second, add the water. Pour slowly.

Add heat to the pot. I have an electric stove like the instructions I used, and they said to set it to 2 or 3 on the dial. I did that. You want to keep the heat low to not boil fast but high enough to actually cook. Simmering is the goal here.

Leave it heat up for a few minutes. You want to see some vapor coming off and little bubbles appear on the bottom of the pot. I stirred it a bunch because I didn't want anything to burn.

Once you see the vapor, you can take it off the heat and strain it. I used an old t-shirt to just to make sure none of the plant matter got into the cup. My batch made about 16oz of tea since nothing really boiled off. Just a heads up for sizing your cup.

Let it sit for a while because you don't want to drink it hot. I recommend adding sugar and honey. I have heard that miracle berry works well, but I haven't tested that yet. Once it is cool, attempt to consume.

It is also recommended to smoke the calea while you drink. I hate smoking, but I tried that, and it helped a great deal. I set aside about a gram of the stuff, and packed two bowls to smoke while drinking the tea. You feel the effects fairly fast, honestly.

Results:

Day 1 - I got maybe 6 sips down before I had to quit. I wasn't ready for the awful taste, and I was very close to vomiting every time. It was also around 2 in the morning, so I figured I messed up anyway. I smoked two full bowls of the gram I set aside (having another bowl left over). I felt a nice head rush, I felt very tampered, and I felt tired.

I had two very vivid dreams last night, but I cannot tell you much about them. I had so little Calea that I don't think it'd matter.

Tonight, I am going to repeat everything I did with the added change of popping a miracle berry. I normally eat low carb so having that much sugar and honey won't be an option. If I cannot consume it, I am going to turn the rest of my batch into a resin and take pills.

Questions?

Day 2 - I consumed a whole pill of Miracle Berry and waited. I tried to smoke a little bit but figured that could numb the berry's effect so I waited.

The tea tastes just as horrible. I can get more down now, but it is so painfully bad.

I should also note, I had the taste of the tea in my mouth all day today despite several brushings. Man... this stuff bums me out.

I have about 20 grams left, so I will likely start a resin tomorrow. I cannot drink the tea. It just is killing me. I'll report tomorrow with my dreams.

Try using less water for the Calea infusion; I use only a quarter the normal amount of water (making the infusion very strong); this means 75% less suffering.

Also, try using a straw to avoid the bitter liquid touching your tongue as much.

Additionally, I've found that dried dates have worked very well to scrape the maddening bitterness off the roof of the mouth.

Same amount of leaves but using half a cup of water? That would be pretty potent. I may give that a go since I am starting with 3 grams to make my resin.

Dreams for Day 2: they were really super vivid. I loved the detail but I got scared and woke up. After sleeping again my second dream was do realistic it felt mundane.

Third Attempt: I measured out 2 grams into about a cup of ever clear and made a resin. The resulting substance was very opaque green. Reminds me of absinthe after the louche.

Filled three pills of the stuff, took two caps of 5-HTP, and one of Choline.

Going to sleep, I felt like I was vibrating. It was very intense feeling. Then, I slept and had very nice and intense dreams. Woke up and tried to sleep, and still had the vibrations. More dreams on sleep.

Going to make the tea again Thursday night, probably make another batch of resin with some more calea.

I had vivid dreams for 5 days later. I am definitely buying more as soon as I get low with seeds to grow my own. This plant is powerful.

Fourth attempt: Whoa.

I woke up at 4 and made a brew of 4oz of water + 4 grams of Calea. That's more than I used last time, so I was hoping to see something good. I tried to smoke whatever I had in my bowl, but it wasn't firing for some reason. I'll buy rolling papers next time I order calea.

This brew was damn near black, and I managed to get it down in one gulp. It was so unpleasant and really bummed me out. I was sure I would vomit.

I slept, and I had ideas of dreams, but I remembered nothing on waking. Kinda sucked.

Then, I took a 30 minute nap. Wow.

I was in a dream and I was just spontaneously lucid. I wasn't really feeling like doing much with it, so I just enjoyed the fact that I was in a dream and conscious. I felt it sleep, and I let it go and woke up. I was very, very dizzy, couldn't see straight, and I felt sick. I was walking around the hall looking for the bathroom, and I couldn't read the signs at all. Someone stopped me and helped me into the bathroom. I felt like I was going to vomit any second, and I felt like my eyes were burning. I checked myself in the mirror while I waited for a stall to free up and my eyes were red and watery. I smiled a bit to see if that would help the look of total sickness, and it did a little. Went to vomit, and I couldn't fit in the stall because of the large jacket I was wearing. Puzzled I noticed the stall was shrinking. I backed up and fell, which woke me up for real.

That second dream felt so life like that I was completely lost.
