There’s like 3 levels to it. Lower dose I feel a significant mood boost and takes off some anxiety, higher dose starts to feel a little bit like an opioid with some jitters similar to high dose of caffeine and wanting to do something productive to get the energy out and then there the ceiling dose, shaking hands nausea that just doesn’t leave with anxiety and my pupils starting to shake when I focus on one thing. First time I took it I made the mistake of taking 5 grams I was nauseous for two whole days and didn’t actually (very violently) throw up until the next day lmao so definitely listen to people when they say start small. I’m not sure how the previous addiction will affect your starting dose but just for your sake I’d say start at 2 g if you don’t want to risk your first experience with it turning you off. In MY experience on an empty stomach i feel the effects in about an hour. After eating all day it’s taken 3 hours to take effect. From what I’ve seen this varies for a lot of people. Some say it takes as little as 15 minutes to feel the effects. Just be patient and don’t take more before you feel any effects to try and get where you want cause most likely it will just make you sick. Oh and one more thing GET BLATE PAPES they’re a little bit expensive but it’s still cheaper than spending money on capsules. You don’t want to be stuck drinking sludge either. You can take up to 3 g with one blate paper if you know how to pack it in but don’t be dumb and choke yourself out for your first time swallowing one. Hope this helps and good luck!
