Modern humans must learn how to relate to psychoactives
responsibly, treating them with respect and awareness,
working to minimize harms and maximize benefits, and
integrating use into a healthy, enjoyable, and productive life.
Had to Skip Work

DOSE:
14-28 g oral Heimia salicifolia (tea)
BODY WEIGHT: 165 lb
I bought an ounce online. I heard it would make me hear differently, make my sight go all 70's porno, etc.

I just got tired after a couple hours, didn't wait around for effects. I just felt WAY too tired from it. I had to work the next day, strenuous Post Office work.

When I woke up, EVERY muscle ached, my HEART, arms, legs, even my eyeballs and tongue. I overdid it.
I overdid it.
I had read it was a mild anti-cholinergenic. I figured I HAD to sick out, or I'd have a heart attack. I felt like an 80 year old man. WORST drug I have ever taken.

It ended costing me over 80 bucks in the end, missing work and all. I'll probably never take it again, unless it's less.

I was naive and stuff, didn't think it would be so bad taking that much.

[Reported Dose: "1/2 to 1 ounce made into tea"]
