Sinicuichi

Sinicuichi (Heimia salicifolia) is a flowering shrub from Mexico which may have been employed by the Aztecs during trance rituals. Native from Mexico to Argentina. Sinicuichi has been called an "auditory hallucinogen": sounds seem to come distorted from a great distance.

It is still used by some Mexican shamans as a tool for divination. The natives hold Sinicuichi to be sacred and believe it to be endowed with supernatural powers. It would help them with a wide variety of problems and they use it to recall vividly the events of many years earlier. Sinicuichi has been tested and is believed to have euphoric, overall relaxing and pleasantly drowsy effects.

Effects

Euphoria, general relaxation, acoustic hallucinations, improvement of memory performance.

Usage

10 grams should be enough to make tea with. Mix with 3 cups of hot water and let it boil for a while or sit in the sun for a day, before drinking.

Warning

Longterm use could impair the memory. Some users report unpleasant side-effects after consumption (and also the day after): heavy muscle pain, aching joints, exhaustion, headache.

“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.”

“Intresting drug, also made a tea from the spice,
it really took a while before it kicked in + -2 hours.
Couple puffs of Cannabis can help kicking it up.

No audiohalucinations for me, also music doesnt sound that different. but a very nice altered state of mind,
clear calm thinking, multible perspectives.

negative is the musle cramping , some advice is not to take Sinicuichi if you've have to be fysical busy the next day.

At some point i couldnt move my legs properly, and walking felt like the wooden legs of Pinokio.

But a had a good time on Sinicuichi so it was all worth it.”
