Calea zacatechichi

(ground / crushed)

Just Received My Calea Z

I have to go to work soon, but I spent an hour rolling some cigarettes out of this herb. I have to say, curiosity got me and despite all of the reports about how bitter Calea is, I broke a dried leaf in half, maybe even a quarter, and slowly began to chew on it.

To me, it tasted earthy, almost sagelike, similar to Mugwort. I kind of let it just get soft, mildly swishing the leaf in my mouth, until I decided to swallow. Not the leaf, mind you, but just saliva. Holy bitter, batman! I expected it, but not THAT much. Damn! Glad I picked up the capsules as well because I will NOT be making a tea out of this.

I must be very sensitive though, because I could feel the effects, just after that tiny bit of leaf (which I had to wash down with a teaspoon of honey and even THAT didn't help the taste much). I feel lightheaded, peaceful and my legs are heavy. Feels like I'm walking with cement bricks for feet. I feel sleepy also, but need to get over it being how I have to go to work in a few.
