REPORTThis afternoon I was able to utilize my newly acquired GVG, and (not that it really requires any further hype than is already attributed to it,) thank goodness I finally listened to my peers and invested in this.
40 mgs. was loaded onto the liquid pad which Vapor Genie now sells to accompany their products. Vaporizing this entire amount in 2 hits was easier than I could have ever imagined possible. It really is the difference between cold butter being mashed onto a piece of toast versus a very warm butter being spread across the toast practically without any investment of energy.
Immediately after the first hit, thousands of technicolor Etch-a-Sketch lines began consuming me entire field of vision, and I knew that if I did not take a second hit immediately, it would be impossible within moments (and I didn't want to "almost get there" with my new toy!)
Immediately after the second hit is consumed my entire vision field is now consumed with fractal geometry, and there is no trace of the room I'd just left any longer. A quick moment of fear quickly impacts the hue of the Etch-a-Sketch color snakes and as my slight anxiety grows their yellow/orange color fades to a black/turquoise energy. Going back and forth between embrace and fear has an immediate impact on the color of the geometry.
And I exhale.
As I exhale the geometry goes warm and I open my eyes, remembering that my fear is unnatural and my natural instinct is to relax these tense muscles and allow this to all just happen. Suddenly squished Aztec/Mesoamerican sculpture faces are the sources of my Etch-a-Sketch-worm hallucinations, and from their mouths and eyes oozes these snakes of symbolism.
After breathing again deeply a few times I can feel myself returning to my body, and begin meditating and realize that I've begun 4-square breathing around my hands, which are making a square shape on the floor. All energy is now flowing through a square pattern, and as I return to baseline I can control my hallucinations via the rate at which I inhale/hold/exhale/hold.
I return from the trip rejuvenated and shaking a little, as frankly it has been some time since my last voyage, and the sacred molecule never ceases to humble me in its wake.
