i started experiencing strong effects 5-10m after taking it last night, which is apparently too soon for it to have actually been absorbed, so now idk what's going on or why

sounds deeply unlikely, it takes way longer than that could be coincidence, or could be effects on digestion (magnesium oxide is primarily used as an *antacid* or laxative, AFAIK)

hate to be your hippie friend, but this is not uncommon in some spiritual circles and considered kind of an energetic thing

Sure! There are a couple approaches, here. 1. if you accept that there is some sort of "energetic signature" attached to magnesium, you might be experiencing that

2. if you accept the idea that there might be a "spirit of magnesium" then it is not unreasonable to think that you might be able to interact with/feel the effects of interacting with that spirit before you feel chemical effects.

I am not uhhh super amazing at communicating about these things, i experience them very nonverbally, but doug and I have had this exact thing happen (particularly with shrooms, but also when taking herbs) and i don't think it's placebo at this point

either way I have a better time when I approach substances as spirits and treat them accordingly!

yeah that makes sense! it seems like at the very least the body can have "learned responses" and "anticipations" to various substances. hmm. hmmmmm
