last weekend i smoked leaves (light marijuana-like high, for about 20 minutes) and made a quid and tea. The quid is really horrible (about 10 leaves), you just can't handle it. And the tea is not much better - i used 15 grams, more or less, in a tea, and nothing, nothing at all! I guess the mazatecs have a special and unsensitive tongue, or they're used to that fucking taste, i don't know. I really tried the traditional way, but the truth is: i'm not a mazatec. I'll try the smoke again, and maybe the extract. Unfortunnately, the european way... but... good luck to you, if you relly will do the quid!
