Background: Me and my friend 'C' (as I will call him) were looking after this experience for about a month, curious about the possibilities of exploring the mind with psychedelics. In our desperate pursuit, we found the cheap and easy to obtain HBW seeds, it took two weeks to arrive in our mailbox.

He came to my apartment at 6:00pm, we were quite excited, and with very high expectations. Ignoring the various warnings on online forums, we decided to take a very high dose on our first experience, we took 16 seeds each, mostly because we were afraid of not seeing any visuals. We later paid the price for our ingenuity . We proceeded to leave the 32 seeds in a glass of water for 30 minutes so the coating would come off more easily, it worked, so we simply removed the coating and ground the seeds up in a very lazy manner, added 1 tablespoon of water and 2 teaspoons of orange juice, mixed it up and drank it at about 7:00pm. Both of us had empty stomachs.

T+(0:00): Our mindset was pure hype, we smoked a joint talking about drugs, mostly psychedelics, and during the first minutes, we were really calm and the conversation flowed while we observed the city below us.

T+(0:35): Me and C decided to chill in the living room, I took a seat on the armchair, he preferred the couch. We had no interest in watching anything or listening to music, we were left wondering if we were extremely stoned or if the seed's effects were coming up. A few minutes later we agreed the effects were coming up. Both of us felt nausea, C handled it very well, but I almost threw up twice. The cannabis helped a lot with it.

T+(1:00): C suggested that we went outside, on the garden area between the twin apartments, I agreed. We took a seat on a bench and started talking about time, how strange its concept is, and how it felt like it was taking forever to pass (our perception of time was very changed), we couldn't believe it's been only an hour and a few minutes.

At this point our speech was starting to take very lunatic proportions, we started talking about extremely unusual topics with very uncommon approaches to them, each of us kept thinking we had made an amazing point in relation to the subject, but the other just wouldn't get it. We were acting in inexplicable ways, we seemed like two schizophrenic individuals discussing the meaning of life. But then, C said 'Dude, there's an old lady right there on the first floor observing us'. C was right, and the lady probably heard our crazy rants, I was paranoid that she would call the police, and as the effects were getting ridiculously strong, we decided to come back inside.

T+(2:00): Now things started getting very uncomfortable, as the effects were clearly pronounced and they were in almost any way satisfactory, our ability to communicate with each other was very impaired, we couldn't make sense of our thoughts, we signed up for a trip we couldn't handle. As the effects got stronger and the peak approached, I started feeling 'rooted' to my armchair, the vasoconstriction was extremely painful, my legs, arms and jaw were suffering in agony, crying for the liquid that our blood vessels were failing to deliver, the heart tried to compensate by pounding and racing, while my throat seemed like it would close.

It felt like I was being asphyxiated, but instead of the pressure being put in my neck, it was as if incredible pressure was trying to crush my whole body. At this point we had practically given up on talking with each other, we were just groaning in pain . Subtle visuals were taking place, the white walls seemed to have colorful waves dancing in its surface, these waves had a consistent light green, blue, purple and golden aspect, in a strange way that I struggle to explain.

T+(3:00): At this point, we were peaking and there was no dialogue at all between me and C, he was absolutely out of his mind in the couch, groaning like an animal and twitching in a way that scared me a few times. The subtle colorful visuals were everywhere, but they were hard to focus on, everything looked very confusing and I was walking back and forth on my apartment trying to think about tasks to occupy my mind, but I couldn't make sense of anything. After some minutes, the sedation was too strong and I gave up, returning to my armchair.

This sedation wasn't a pleasing one, it wasn't physical euphoria, it was an agonizing feeling of 'corporal confusion' I felt very weak, but at the same time stimulated to walk around; I felt very sleepy, but I could in no way sleep. Eventually I decided to close my eyes and try to relax, then I started having a very strange vision, colorful branches in the same colors mentioned before, some very weird giant fruits were hanging from these branches, and inside these fruits there were human fetuses. Yes, human fetuses growing in trees inside of fruits.

T+(4:00): The peak was now ending, and we were just starting to feel the sweetness of sobriety, but the physical suffering hasn't ended yet. As we regained some of our senses of reality, we talked a bit, in a very awkward way, because we were still out of our minds. When trying to sleep, I was unable to find a comfortable position in my bed, already struggling with the task of falling asleep, C made it a bit worst getting stuck in a thought loop, he kept saying to himself: 'Did we take the seeds?'; 'Seeds, what seeds? What's happening?'; 'Aaaaaaarrghh...'; 'Did we take the seeds? Seeds? ...', I was feeling bad for him, but I couldn't help in any way, I just kept quiet and tried to sleep. Eventually we managed to sleep the effects off.

The next day, I had no 'afterglow', the day didn't look beautiful and I wasn't particularly excited. But these seeds did show me some personal truths that I'd been hiding from myself, and I was able to think about aspects of my life that I'm able to change to better, I was very quiet and thoughtful.

Overall, I'm glad I took these seeds for their significant therapeutic results, but I'm certainly not planning on taking them again.
