Thank you.
'Full blown experience' is when you are completely immersed in a visionary world with it's own stream of consciousness. A full-on trance we could say... Even open eyed visuals can be there eating fresh seeds with nothing added.
The specialness of freshness wears out gradually taking about 2 months to completely be lost. The fresher the better.
I have done a lot of ceremonies eating seeds a few hours after harvesting, and drinking DMT plant on top of it. It's just completely overwhelming and the psychedelicness of DMT is much enhanced. The entirety of reality is hyper distorted and hallucinatory.
It wouldn't be off to suggest that rue is only meant to be used when it is fresh. Just as with salvia.
Making enough tea from fresh seeds to last for a whole year has been my approach since many years. Of course, a tea is never as strong as eating the seeds. Some important components are just not soluble enough it seems. But then again, tea feels healthier than eating seeds.
The consciousness of plants is a constant source of information for medicine, alimentation, and art, and an example of the intelligence and creative imagination of nature. Much of my education I owe to the intelligence of these great teachers. Thus I consider myself to be the “representative” of plants, and for this reason I assert that if they cut down the trees and burn what’s left of the rainforests, it is the same as burning a whole library of books without ever having read them.
