Apparently it induces lucid dreams, I've already ordered some but does anyone have any experiences or advice on it?

hmm, i've never heard of it, but reading the wikipedia entry for it it sounds interesting. Where'd you order it from?

But if you're interested in reading more about it Erowid has some user reports on it.

Smoking it tastes bad in my opinion. I hear the proper way to take is to make a tea, but I think that would be disgusting. Apparently it is, because traditionally one would smoke some more dream herb after downing their tea just to get the taste out of their mouths. And that smoking supposedly helps you fall asleep or something.

I think while I was using it I had enhanced dreams, but probably because I smoke so much pot, there wasn't anything to awe-inspiring for me. Just some fucked up dreams, where usually theres no dreams at all.

However, my friend swears by this stuff. He loves it, loves the dreams he gets I guess. So if you want to really fully expereince it, maybe stop smoking pot while you do it, and maybe try making the tea. My friend only ever smoked it as well, far as I know.

edit - just something I thought of:

This plant does help with dream recollection ... hell it was bringing back dreams even to my dreamless mind.

A lot of people will know what I'm talking about when I say this ... maybe it would help trip recollection? Help this consciousness remember the dream consciousness?

As in, it helps us remember dreams ... so maybe an addition of this to ones diet would aid in remembering DMT experiences and ... similar states of mind ... if you're reading this rizzo, get back to me on whats going on with your head.

yeah smoking its bad it makes me dream so since its cheap its alright i just put it in hot water evap. that then load gel caps with whats left
i tried it as tea once and it was fucking horrible i was able to kill the taste of it with lots of honey in the tea and lots of mint breath drops on my tongue after that i was like i was just drinking water that smelled really herbish and bad

Just out of curiosity does anyone know how to pronounce it?

I bought an ounce of the dried plant from an online vendor. I'm curious though as to what amount would be good for a recommended dose.

I'm going to guess ka-lay-a zack-a-teck-heechy.

But then again, I'm just guessing.

i"ve beeb pronouncing it kuh-lee-uh zack-et-uh-chi-chi but I don't know for sure either.

I wonder what the active chemical(s) is. I've never heard of anyone doing an extraction on it but I don't see why not.
