DOSE:
T+ 0:00
12 oz oral Sassafras (tea)
  T+ 3:00 20 oz oral Sassafras (tea)
BODY WEIGHT: 165 lb
Harvested ~6 small saplings and one larger tree root (6-8in trunk diameter).

Soaked 6oz dried sassafras root bark in 120 fluid oz luke-warm water. After several hours, transferred to fridge for an additional 24 hours. Strained bark, resulting liquid had a dark orange-brown color and strong fragrance. Very strong flavor with an intensity similar to a dark, dark black coffee.

At 16:45, 4 of us (2 male, 2 female) drank 12oz cold tea over the course of ~15min. Added a slice of lemon to balance the flavor as it was very potent and difficult to drink plain. Noted a change in circulation and my face became flushed. After an additional 30 mins, went on a walk in the woods for ~2.5 hours – which was very pleasant but with no discernible effect from the sassafras.

By the time we returned we were feeling very hungry and went our separate ways. I ate a light dinner and drank an additional 20oz cold tea over the next hour with inconclusive effects. Became drowsy and took a nap, which I think had more to do with being tired than anything.

[Reported Dose: "1.67oz dried bark extracted into 20oz water"]
