when i had the peruvian torch (which i've tried at least 4 times) .. it too was a light experience. the guy had only been sending out 1/2 oz. samples of the powder. i was cooking it down with lemon juice and drinking it. HORRIBLE TASTING STUFF!!!! it usually took somewhere between 1-2 hours for any effects to be noticable. i would absolutely LOVE to get my hands on at least a whole OZ of the shit and play with that. i just hate cooking the shit down. it takes a few hours, and i'm impatient. have you tried the torch before?
