Sinicuichi

Sinicuichi (Heimia salicifolia) es una planta proveniente de Mexico, usado por los Aztecas durante los rituales de trance. Su origen es en Sudamérica, de Mexico hasta Argentina. Algunos dicen que Sinicuichi es un 'alucinógeno auditivo': los sonidos son déformados y parecen venir de lejos.

Hoy en día los chamanes mexicanos usan el Sinicuichi todavía para entrar en contacto con 'el divino'. Los indígenos allí consideran la planta como sacrada y atribuyen poderes supernaturales. Piensan que la planta puede resolver diferentes problemas y lo usan para revivir las experiencias pasadas.

Sinicuichi da un sentimiento eufórico, relajado y una soñolencia agradable.

Efectos

Euforia, relajamiento completo, alucinaciones auditivos y mejoración de la memoria.

Uso

10 gramos son suficiente para hacer una infusión. Pon la hierba en 3 vasos de agua y hiérvalo durante algun tiempo o ponlo en el sol durante un día. Después de enfriarlo, la bebida está lista.

Aviso

El uso prolongado puede dañar la memoria.

“I extracted about an ounce of sinicuichi in boiling water (boiled it for an hour or so, strained, boiled off the water; can't remember well since it was a while ago). It formed little resiny clumps. I left it for a while and eventually decided to smoke some, thinking it was Calea zacatechichi (the label had come off and I keep them together). I wanted to dream well... Anyway, I realized my error after about 4-5 hits. I suppose the psychoactives in sinicuichi work much better at high concentrations, since I'd smoked the plain leaf before. The resin, unlike the plain leaf, smelled sort of similar to cannabis, but not too much.

Anyway, after about 10 minutes (felt like a long onset for inhalation, but that's fine) I started feeling high; the plateau (after about 30-40 minutes) felt similar to cannabis in terms of mood and slight euphoria and such. Very minor auditory hallucinations, primarily thinking I'm hearing (friendly) voices or a TV in the other room. However, the body effects were much different; I felt relatively normal physically, at least from the neck down. It actually made me concentrate somewhat more, though only about particular things (unlike the sort of euphoric apathy that I get from cannabis). I can't remember how long it lasted, but it was comparable to cannabis, maybe slightly shorter though.

Had no side-effects at all, except for increased appetite (though the food wasn't much tastier than normal like I always get with cannabis).

I tried it again a couple days later; this time I smoked another chunk of resin (not very much, but the same as the first time) and nothing much happened. I ate one of the chunks, and after 90 min. or so nothing happened. It is possible that I had some sort of tolerance, or maybe I did something wrong the second time. Unlike the first time, the second time I had minor muscle aches (and minor chest tightness, though that is apparently normal, and I'm young so it wasn't exacerbating an existing problem) the day after. Could have been the fact that I ate some the second time, so it stayed in my system longer.

Overall, reminiscent of cannabis, but quite unique. I'll do it again. Hopefully the inconsistency was due to tolerance and not due to something I did the first time that I'll never remember how to do right again... :)”

“Made a 20gr sinicuichi tea (boil 500ml water, add sinicuichi, reduce to approx. 300ml) and drank it in 15 minutes. Also rolled 1 fat joined of dried sinicuichi and smoked half of it.

This all resulted in no effect at all. Two hours later I went to bed, and had a very restless night, woke up every 60minutes, pains in muscles started 3 hours after ingestion.

Did dream funny and was able to remeber most of it.

The only 'effect' I value afterwards is the feeling of not being alone during my sleep but together with two others, one male, one female (more present then the male). During my dreams I shared feelings with the famale. Felt more or less like I was accompanied by them during everything I did in my dreams and I shared my thoughts with them.

The morning after my whole body hurt like crazy. My throat was swollen, making it harder to breath and talk. The pains in my muscles were so severe I had to stay in bed till 4 in the afternoon, then taking painkillers to relieve it...

Although the dream-effect might sound cool/positive, it was not that clear or vivid that I would use sinicuichi again soon...”

“It sucks, I can't drink it, because the taste is really really bad.
someday I will smoke it and later I'll take a review again.
I don't know how to prepares, but, I make it like tea, and the taste...
I hope someone tell me how to prepare it.”
