Normally I use a dry herb vape on steep + smokes, for this, I put it in my pipe. The smoke was THICK and smooth. Others have mentioned there are harder herbal bits – yes, that is true, and they’re very hard to even grind up. Not a problem with a pipe but something to keep in mind.

Others have mentioned this is really good as a smoke, and I would agree except the harder herbal bits make it difficult to smoke if you’re using papers or cones. To remedy this, I smoke it without the woody pieces and save those parts for tea. Otherwise the effects are incredible, as with the other Cloud King offerings. Elevating and calming and perspective shifting.
I’ve mentioned before with other Cloud King materia that it seems to enhance psychism, and smoking this blend helps with that even more compared to the other forms I’ve tried…

As a steep, gotta admit not my fav! I found I needed to mix it with other herbs to deal with the bitter after taste. No big deal, they can’t all be winners right? Wrong. This materia wants to be smoked. I’ve also used it to dress candles but smoking us by far my fav way to work with this offering! So good.

I made magic mushroom tea with this then sat on the beach simply existing. Dear goodness it was one of the best days of my life. Shifts in perspective and softness of heart came to stay, yo. I felt safe in the absurdity of being & much of the wisdom received has proven key to successfully navigating this past year. I’ve also used heavily diluted tea as a base for soaking seeds before planting as well as for blessing the ground being planted, both to great effect.

this S&S is soooooooooooo good for relaxation, dream crafting and feeling the Jupitarian feel good vibes. Cloud daddy has been one of my greatest supports through crazy times and I am so grateful for this magic. Definitely not for day time use unless you have nothing else to do that day. I like it for unwinding, or, before bed paired with luna in cancer for dream work.

Helps me not give a fuck when something is bothering me or when I have a stressful day at work.

The tea has a pleasant smell and taste and harmonising and balancing effects. Brings sense of tranquility and clarity. I felt the day's stresses melt away, and was left feeling centered, refreshed, and invigorated.

So I've tried this steep/smoke two ways: first as a little topper to sprinkle over the occasional bowl of weed, and second, to blend with my loose-leaf morning tea before writing, to promote expansiveness/luck with the creative process. I can say that as a 'smoke,' this product is *excellent*. It really brings the high to another level, always making for a lovely experience. As a steep, however, it is much better suited to evening brews than morning ones, especially if the intention is to focus on specific tasks, e.g. writing -- in my case, I would more often decide not to write at all, but would get easily distracted by more indulgent pursuits when I drank this tea in the daytime, leading to many nice but lazy mornings. It's really wonderful for relaxation, no doubt!

This is a slightly bitter S&S to drink as a tea - but you know what? It's so soothing. This one is definitely an herbal conction made to loosen all the stress at the end of the day. Highly recommended for that.

I've recently been dipping into the steep & smokes. I add about 1/4 tsp to whatever tea or tisane I'm drinking. It feels very soothing. I realize that tea in general is soothing, but this is *SOOTHING*x10.

Whereas the tincture is wonderful for embodiment, the s&s has a medicinal quality to it that helps you unravel angsty feelings and staves off hyperactivity. For instance, I am sensitive to caffeine. I have to stop drinking tea around 3pm or I will be up all night, litearlly. As in, I will still be awake when the sun rises. But if I add some Within the Sky, I will fall asleep at a reasonable hour. For my lifetime-of-insomnia, midnight-is-early self, that is truly magical.
