I was not prepared for this. I had played around with Laudanum and Kava before, and they were quite pleasant. But this one hit me hard. I was enjoying the beginning, feeling calm, but around the middle it was like the world had stopped turning, and I had been thrown through space. I felt like I was floating, but it wasn't some kind of soft bubbly kind of floating. The intensity caught me off guard. I was shaken and displaced on many levels. I am sure that it was done at least thirty minutes before I realized it had ended. I definitely recommend it, but... in responsible portions.
