tips for doing the 'meg:
- Take it early enough (before noon): it takes about 4hrs before it hits you properly & you peak at about 8-10h after. Make sure you have a whole day when you don't have to be productive.
- You will likely have some problems with hydration. that's the main unpleasant side effect - your throat will feel hella dry and you will feel thirsty. Have some water, tea, diluted juice at hand; sip it slowly, don't just gulp down the water to quench the thirst (because you will not be able to). If you overhydrate you will have a bad time. There's also hangover if you fall asleep and wake up dehydrated.
- Make sure not to panic. you're gonna have a very bad time if you start panicking.
- Next day you might feel lightheaded, this is normal and it will fade out.
- My recommended dose is 2-3 nuts, freshly ground; drinking it with black tea (swallow the chunks because tea won't extract the essential oil well, it's just so it comes down easier) or boiling it with milk (here the essential oil will get extracted into milk, you may notice some film forming on the surface, you can drink just the milk and if you boiled it for 15mins most of it will be extracted already) works well, some eat it with icecream, there's different ways. If you're worried about a bad time you can start with 1 nut and see if it works for you. I haven't done high doses but above 8-10 nuts its supposedly pure suffering so even if you think your dose of 2-3 nuts isn't enough after 3-4 hours and feeling basically nothing don't up the dose.
- Enjoy responsibly.
