By the fourth night of drinking the tea I found myself able to simply sip it, while hot. I drink alot of big hoppy craft beers so it's really not that much of a leap.. Just take all the fruity, resinous, spicy goodness out of a hop and multiply its bitterness by 80 and you have Calea.

Which is approximately 60g, and since local people weight around 60Kg it's 1g/kg of dried leaves No wonder that you felt nothing with 10g.

Glad to have you here, thanks for leaving me a comment. If you regularly smoke marijuana, I don't think it will interfere with the effects of calea zacatechichi. One interesting thing to note though- if you do use marijuana daily, but don't smoke the day you smoke calea zacatechichi, your body will likely react to the lack of marijuana with an increase in dream vividness. (I think this is called REM rebound, but don't quote me on that.) If I had to choose one way or the other, I'd say marijuana's effects are not great or ideal when combined with dream potentiators, but I don't think it makes a huge difference - esp. if you're a regularly user. However, if you decided to abstain for a day, it could be an interesting way to make the effects even more potent. Let us know how it goes! Hi Govind!

I've made a decision of taking Calea Zacatechichi, most likely in tea and don't worry, I do remember how you described it. Hopefully I can get pass the bitter taste and have my first lucid dream. P.S I smoke cannabis, will there be any problems like countering the Calea Zacatechichi's effects? Thank you for this blog, I’m a big fan of dreams but I have never had a lucid dream.
