Interview with Visionary Artist Mark of mpm7.com - 42:49

This interview was done over skype in 2008. The audio quality is kind of poor as I had only a fairly cheap headphone mic and Mark was speaking into an earbud headphone if I recall correctly. Yay for amateur recording! haha - anyways I think anybody interested in visionary art, entheogen inspired art, salvia divinorum and such will enjoy listening. I’m hoping to do more of this kind of interview before long.

Mark’s art can be viewed at mpm7.com as well as his myspace page and on deviantART

“I had heard that Syrian Rue seeds could be psychoactive on their own, without adding a DMT source and though the plant sources for a full ayahuasca analogue are present, I’ve decided to first meet Rue on its own.

I ground a lot of seed and weighed out 4 grams which I cold water extracted for about 24 hours. Having followed an appropriate MAOI diet and prepared mentally… I reduced and drank what amounted to a quarter cup of fairly bad tasting harmala soup.

About an hour later I started to become fairly drunk feeling in an odd way, it’s like my mind was alert and sober, but my body was drunk and starting to get major tracers too, which altogether made it impossible to walk without looking like I was on the deck of a ship in a very wavey sea. This was ok since pretty soon I felt I had to just lay down on the couch and close my eyes and enjoy the experience of this altered reality. I felt I was going to be sick.. but that feeling vanished only when I lay on my back with my eyes closed, so that’s what I did for what may have been a couple hours.

When I broke out of the trance I got up to go to bed. This was about 3 hours into it. My mind was clear as a bell, but I could hardly walk or see. The tracers were emanating from everything in multiple layers and stayed for a long time. It wasn’t unpleasant at all… then I felt sick again so just went to lay on my back in my bed… That’s really about it. I awoke 4 hours later and with the lights on I noticed the tracers and lightly psychedelic state of mind were still with me, but I could walk and see now!

So yeah, Rue is definitely active and can bring an interesting somewhat psychedelic drunkenness that doesn’t keep you awake if you don’t want to be. Careful of the dosage though, I would not want to use more than the 4 grams I did due to the nautia and inability to see or walk for quite some time.
