There is in this vision a real
redient is in low
levels but does contribute to the high. When we mention THC levels,
we are talking about both delta 8 and 9 THC.
There are also other ingredients that add to the high such as
CBD, CBN, THCV, CBDV, CDC and CBL, but are only very minor
compared to THC.
The difference between THC levels and THC quantities is that
THC levels are genetic. They are not under the influence of the
grower. THC quantities on the other hand are. This is to do with bud
mass and how much resin can be generated in that bud mass.
Some bud may only contain 20% THC, with a THC level of 5.
The same plant grown under better conditions and light will produce
70% THC, with a THC level of 5. The ‘5’ is genetic. The quantities of
20% and 70% are under the grower’s control.
When examining a strain in a seed-bank catalogue one is
guided to check for the THC levels of that plant to understand how
potent the plant is. Many seed sellers and breeders measure their
39
plants THC levels and give accounts on how much THC their plants
have. Of course many breeders like to exaggerate on how much THC
their plants produce, but some do not. If you wish to know more about
THC levels it is best to consult your seed-bank or breeder for details.
No complete study of cannabinoids has been made public
since this book’s publication. This is because cross breeding produces
so many different results that it is hard to keep track on what is
happening. Some 'old timer' strains are still around and have been
tested. This information can be obtained from the larger seed
production companies in Holland. THC testing is also an expensive
process that requires heavy amounts of research.
The other interesting factor is that some plants do not produce
any THC at all. These plants have been genetically engineered (GM)
to produce very low levels of THC and are mainly used by farmers in
some countries who have permission to grow cannabis for hemp
production ONLY. It is best to keep away from these seeds and strains.
They will not get you high. There is project called the PMP (potency
monitoring project) that is carried out by some government-funded
agencies, but the results are questionable.

Hashish can also be graded and one of the most famous
grades of Hashish is called Zero Zero. Hashish making (Figure 1.11)
can improve (but sometimes degrade) the overall potency of marijuana.
41
The grades of Hashish are as follows. 00(zero zero), 0, 1, 2, 3. Zero
Zero is by far the most purest form of Hashish on the market today and
comes from plants that have high levels of THC in conjunction with a
good Hash making technique. Sometimes the technique may be good
but the levels of THC in the plant are low. This

longer after inducing bloom, excellent flower/leaf ratio. I had good 400 gr./s.m. which I consider nice. Only
drawback I noticed was you better watch the air humidity, they have a tendency to catch bud rot, and the colas
are just too fat and sticky so the air won’t go into. But when you keep moisture down to max. 50% rh. you
should do well. To my experience they are true-breeding, but on the other hand I heard that too much
inbreeding out of a small number of species might cause some problems and show up some indica aspects
you may not want to have. I heard of NL#5 F2 that smelled and tasted like shit and had a very dull buzz.” -

THE SACHAMAMA
This picture shows the Sachamama hypnotising a deer in order to swallow it up.
Trees and weeds grow on the Sachamama. This big snake is hard to find, but it can
be seen.On the left side is a small pond from which it drinks. On the right there are
all kinds of animal and even human bones which it has vomited up during its life
time. It expels the meat through its rectum, the bones it vomits.
This big snake rarely moves, remaining perhaps hundreds of years in the same
place. One can even accidentally climb on top of it without realising one is on
this dangerous animal. If a person passes by its head, the Sachamama magnetises
him immediately and swallows him, because it possesses a very powerful magnet,
and no living being that crosses its path can escape.
When a person has noticed the presence of the Sachamama, he must leave swiftly
so as not to be crushed by a tree or struck by lightning, because the Sachamarna
produces a strong wind with lightning and lots of rain, capable of knocking down
trees. When the Sachamama moves to another place, it throws down the trees on its
back and makes a sort of path by knocking down other trees as well.
VISION 16
THE SESSION OF THE CHULLACHAKI
This is a vision of the Supay-chacra or garden of the Chullachaki. In the middle we
see a tree called caimitillo Duroja hirsuta]. The two trees beside it are called
Supay-caspi and the lowest ones, Supay-anallosacha. You can see that they have
circles at the base of the leaves.
Here you can see a Chullachaki a forest spirit] dressed in royal gowns, reading a
parchment. The others, the shapshicos or sacharunas, listen to the reading of the
decree on the care of wild animals, because they are the ones who have this
responsibility. All of them are dressed in brilliant-colored royal clothes which make
the nearby leaves shine bright, just as perfectly as light bulbs. It's like a
Bacchanalian feast to which all wild animals are invited so they together with their
masters will entertain all the rest, setting up a circus show with dances, music with
euphoric rhythm, and entrancing singing. There you can hear the most complex
sounds and lullabies of the purity of the forest, of the intricate web of the vegetal
esoteric world. Within vegetalismo there is so much knowledge that could benefit
man. Perhaps some day the hidden secret of longevity will be known, because it is
certain that this is to be found within the plants of the forest.
These animals are called through a telepathic vibration in which the instinct of the
psychic cord m~' the animals come to the meeting. You can see otorongo, the
manco-puma, the lluhuichio-puma, huasca monkey], the squirrel, the cashacushillo
i cupine], the sachavaca tapir], the deer, the armas Priodontes
maximus], the maids Agouti paca], While I'm not going to say that Big Bud isn't a good strain, it's not as magical as many people seem to think.
The main problem is the name, Big Bud, everyone expects massive buds. They are big, but not significantly
larger than many other top strains. The potency is good but not knock you off your feet good. There is huge
variations from plant to plant, some are killer and deserving of some of the legends, but the majority are just
typical(of high quality strains). Overall, a good plant as long as you don't expect miracles. I just finished a
bowl of it myself.

We see also several huaira-kuros worms of the air], malevolent animals that
when sent bysorcerers enter the nose and ears of a victim. This sorcery is learned
from the tree ajosquiro, which also appears here.
In front of the house are triangular tingunas, which may be transformed into
persons or cities.
VISION 41
PULSATIONS
A group of vegetalistas has taken ayahuasca, and through an icaro they call the
magnificent Queen Pulsarium Coya, wearing a red and green mantle, a tuft of
feathers, and a golden crown. She is the one who gives the vegetalistas power to
diagnose illness by pulsing their patients. This power consists of an intuitive ability
to interpret the pulse, connecting thus the hands with the brain. When a vegetalista
touches a patient, his brain immediately gives a picture of what might be wrong
with his patient.
Queen Pulsarium Coya gives the vegetalistas arkanas or defenses. The
vegetalista to the left holds a scorpion. When this vegetalista touches a patient who
has been hit by a virote from a sorcerer, his scorpion will fight the virote, informing
the vegetalista that this is a case of sorcery.
The vegetalista next to him has been given snakes, which help him detect mal
aire del agua illness produced by the water], manchari fright], and so on. The
vegetalista wearing a blue shirt has a bayuca caterpillar] on his left arm and a
spider on his right arm. And so every vegetalista will receive various animals, such
as salamanders, piranhas, etc. This queen also gives the vegetalistas various types
of belts, so that through their navels they are able to detect the type of illness
afflicting their patients.
The colourful, undulant layers crossing the painting represent the waves in the
brain moving in accord with the dictates of the pulsation’s. The first layer, in white
and pink, represents the pulsation’s of an apprentice. The blue layer represents the
pulsation’s experienced by a muraya who is a healer, not a witch or a sorcerer. The
layer in red and yellow represents the pulsation’s of a banco, a master of the three
realms-the atmospheric or sidereal, the terrestrial, and the aquatic.
The layer with black and red waves represents the pulsation’s of the evil bancos,
witches, and sorcerers. They may cure, but not often, because they usually do harm.
The pink layer represents the sumis, those able to enter the underwater realm.
They dedicate themselves mainly to curing, but they may also kill if they wish. The
red line with white waves represents those sumis that only heal.
In the upper left corner is a city called Korillacta golden city], where beings live
that are half human and half snake. The vegetalistas admitted here specialise in
sucking virotes, or in extracting marupa sorcery with their manTis magical
phlegm]. The rainbow represents great snakes ns of ayahuasca and
its additives, the piripiri Cyperus sp.], the toe Brugmansia sp.], and the chiriksanango
Brunfelsia grandiflora Behind is the magnificent prince Tabal in a dress
decorated with silky feathers and with a gilded, double-edged sword as plume. Also
present are two women called cuayacunas or caressing women. At their side is an
extraterrestrial ship from Ganymede with a magic ladder by which the crew may
disembark.
In the upper part of the centre section is a native Cocama who exercises his
powers of traditional medicine. Below him is a guru, a master of sublime
extrasensory perception in the temples of Krishna, purifying his soul with
transcendental meditation of the sixth sense. Next to the Cocama is a nymph of
knowledge with her horn trumpets who teaches how t( sing the icaros with
exactitude.
Below the yogi is a Campa Indian who possess occult knowledge of the most
diverse plants. This Indian group that also uses ayahuasca knows better than any
other jungle people the magical uses of plant. teachers. On the surrounding river we
see his ancestral Indian chiefs approaching in order to bestow knowledge on him.
In front of the Campa are two scribes of the mermaids, writing down the mystical
properties of the flowers for the healers' needs. We also see the huarmi-vacamarina
woman-manatee]. At their side are the spirits of the ailco-sacha wild dog], a plant
used to heal people bewitched with dog's blood. Below are two ships that have
come from Venus; their crews approach the house of the shaman in haste. In front
of the house is the supay-tuyuyo tuyuyo, a large bird], which the master uses as a
vehicle when leaving for the outer world and space regions. Below are the
callampas mushrooms] and the callampa machaco mushroom snake].
At top right is a mestiza oracionista practitioner who uses prayer as a healing
tool] surrounded by images, stamps, books of prayei, and perfumes. She practices
medicine with the help of celestial spirits. Below is an African woman who
practices fetishism to heal. Behind her we see Grinfel, the Count of the Empire of
the Planet of Saturn, whose powers are those of sensual hypnotism. In front of the
African priestess we see a genius in a formation of triangles. This is an enchanting
magician. Below them all is a native Shipibo healer with ayahuasca and other
plants.
At the bottom is an Inca priest or Varayok, guardian of the temples of the occult
sciences of this culture. He has had direct contact with extraterrestrial beings from
Andromeda, whose vision is very much superior to ours and who gave specialised
knowledge to the Tahuantinsuyo shamans. To the extreme right we see a lama,
illustrious master of healing by means of the plants of the mystical mountains of the
Himalaya, surrounded by very wise men who are well-versed in the knowledge of
the vegetal world.

psychological predisposition of the individuals within that ambiance. Yet, at the same

look and sound very different from one delineated by a sociologist. Doctors will tend to
emphasize individual and motivational factors in the etiology of marijuana use. It is
necessary, therefore, according to this perspective, to understand the individual's life
history, particularly his early family relations, if we are to understand why an individual

discussing: the heavier and the more frequent the use o
very high levels of
intoxication (1%, 7%, 19%, 27%, 29%), experienced less frequently by Daily users (p <.01, overall). An even
more extreme version of this phenomenon, but still fairly frequent, is "I have lost all consciousness of my body
and the external world, and just found myself floating in limitless space (not necessarily physical
space)" (25%, 29%, 30%, 10%, 4%), which occurs at maximal levels of intoxication (1%, 2%, 11%, 21%,
31%). The younger users need to be more intoxicated to experience this (p <.05).
Figure 11-1. AWARENESS OF ONE'S OWN BODY
Note.—For guide to interpreting the "How Stoned" graph,
see note on Figure 6-1.
The relationships between these four
phenomena dealing with awareness of the
body are plotted in Figure 11-1. Totally losing
awareness of the body and the world, and
experiencing oneself floating in limitless
space occurs less frequently than the other,
less extreme ways of losing awareness of the
body (p <.0005, overall). With respect to level
of intoxication, the body fading from
awareness unless attended to and the focused
part of the body standing out more happen at
essentially the same levels of intoxication.
The two phenomena of totally losing
awareness of one's body occur at higher levels
of intoxication (p <<.0005, overall) than the
previous phenomena, but these two do not
differ from one another.
Given that the perception of one's body is
highly affected by the deployment of attention
while intoxicated on marijuana, what are some of the specific changes?
Pain
A common effect is "Pain is easy to tolerate if I keep my attention elsewhere" (21%, 10%, 34%, 13%, 12%),
with the linked opposite effect, "Pain is more intense if I concentrate on it," which occur with essentially the
same frequency (23%, 11%, 23%, 17%, 15%), an excellent illustration of the importance of deployment of
attention.
Both experiences occur at essentially the same Strong levels of intoxication (7%, 13%, 28%, 15%,
1% and 6%, 19%, 26%, 9%, 2%,
bongs bubblers respectively).
The phenomenon of pain being more intense if concentrated on is affected by several background variables.
It is reported more frequently by the younger users (p <.05), by the College-educated (p Whiterhinocannabissingleplantyield <.05), and by Nonusers
of Psychedelics (p < .05). The older users need to be more intoxicated to experience this (p <.05), while
the Heavy Total lasers experience this at lower levels of intoxication than the Light or Moderate Total users (p

<.05, overall).
Lightness and Heaviness
A common experience is "With my eyes closed, my body may feel very light or even feel as if I float up into
the
bongs bubblers
air when stoned" (16%, 16%, 41%, 19%, 8%), which begins to
water pipe bongs
occur at Strong levels of intoxication (3%,
13%,

30%, 21%, 15%). According to my informants, having the eyes closed is not necessary to experience
much lightness, but is necessary to feel as if one were actually floating. This experience is more co
