Background: I first learned about coleus blumei near the end of my senior year, while looking for various legal and easily accessible highs. It wasn�t until a few weeks into college that I decided to actually try it. I am by no means an amateur when it comes to psychoactive, having experimented with MDMA, amphetamines, LSA, DXM, 2C-E, psilocybin mushrooms, yopo, Salvia Divinorum, Marijuana, countless pharmaceuticals, and many more. I was in the middle of a dry spell, without access to weed or anything else.
I purchased a �Rustic Orange� Coleus Blumei from the Lowes in town for around $5.00. I arrived back at my dorm and proceeded to pick 15 of the largest healthiest looking leaves from the plant. After washing, drying, and removing the stems, I rolled them into two separate quids. It should be noted that I had eaten roughly 4 hours prior to ingestion.
Mindset: I had finished all my homework and cleaned up the dorm the day before, so I was calm and in a good mindset.
Setting: My college dorm. This trip report is written as it happened in real time.
T+0:00- I begin chewing the quids. The taste is not as bad as people make it out to be. It tastes similar to celery, with a mild bitter after taste.
T+0:05- I finish chewing the quids and wash it down with some Dr. Pepper.
T+0:20- I start to feel a little spacy, but I quickly dismiss this as simply being placebo.
T+0:40- The spacy feeling is slowly getting stronger, I am now confident that this isn�t placebo. The feeling is similar to the mellow body high of a low dose of cannabis, while the mental aspect is reminiscent of dxm. Not trippy, but a kind of simultaneous mental fog and mental clarity. It�s hard to explain.
T+0:50- I start to pace around my dorm. I notice a kind of pleasant subtle relaxation creeping over me. Not euphoric, but a mild mood uplift.
T+0:55- I decided to put my headphones in and listen to some music. I play a playlist I made that is composed of slow, mellow, and kind of depressing songs. Music seems to be somewhat mildly enhanced, but this might just be placebo.
T+1:00- I become perfectly content just listening to music and staring off into space. No nausea or visual effects noted yet. I contemplate re-dosing.
T+1:10- I decide to re-dose and prepare 8 more leaves in the same manner as I did earlier. I chew them and wash them down with a bottle of water.
T+1:15- My mind starts becoming hazier. I�m now positive that this plant is psychoactive. Typing is a bit more difficult.
T+1:20- I am definitely becoming intoxicated. I have very mild visuals that can be best described as �twitches� in my peripherals. I develop a kind of child-like sense of wonder with my environment, similar to the effects I get from certain psychedelics. I am becoming absorbed into the music pouring from my earbuds.
T+1:30- I develop a head fog and moderate sedation, like I get from a shot or two of vodka. I decide to get out my electronic cigarette and see what happens from there.
T+1:35- The vapor from my e-cig is calming to watch. I get pleasant tingling and goosebumps while listening to Johnny Cash�s �Hurt�. It�s becoming more difficult to type, and I�m moving unusual slow. I�m tempted to drink the little bit of alcohol I have left, but refrain for the sake of this report. I decide to try playing guitar.
T+1:40- I decide against playing guitar, because it�s out of tune and I don�t have the motivation to tune it. I decide to turn on Pandora, eat some grapes, and take a rest from typing.
T+2:00- I�m coming down steadily now. Things are becoming clearer and I can focus now.
T+3:00- I am pretty much sober now. All in all, I enjoyed this experience, it wasn�t overwhelming at all. It was like the head high from a low dose salvia trip, but without the visual aspects. I plan to try this again soon, but with a higher dosage.
