Recently tried DMT....

[Accipeveldare]

A friend of mine a couple of days ago decided it was about time I joined the world of psychedelics. And I wouldn't say I had a normal start.... So, he trip sat me through the whole thing. However, he made me go for a breakthrough the first time. I felt my face stretch into infinity as I entered a strange vortex that opened up like a door in a way and through a hallway of faces that looked at me in disappointment. (probably due to the fact I wasn't ready to see said faces) As I passed through the hall of faces I entered what seemed to be a strange room. There were pillars moving about in an almost gear like motion. There was a strange winged entity shaped as a beetle in the center who just stared at me. It didnt say anything, it just stared. Then I got pulled into a strange city with things staring at me everywhere but I was moving too fast to interact with them. I soon got pulled all the way back through the vortex and into reality. By far, the scariest experience of my life and I am still recovering a bit I must say.

You’ll probably have a better experience in the future with DMT or any psychedelics if you aren’t feeling in some way pressured.

The setting needs to be right.

With DMT specifically though the friend is right that it’s breakthrough or nothing.

Doses less than that don’t really have any kind of mystical benefit. It just gives you about 5-10 minutes of geometric visuals with closed eyes or a perception shift with eyes open.

You have to have the Vortex experience with it to have your consciousness go on a journey.

Now other things like LSD, LSA, Shrooms, Peyote etc etc yes please take baby steps and work your way up.

Taking a Hero dose of those will be a recipe for a bad time and major PTSD.

Safe Travels.

I have done shrooms in the past, however I had heard beforehand about the nausea so I took very very small doses first few times. Had a great time on my first breakthrough.

Set & Setting is the most important part of any psychedelics.

DMT is unique where you can actually (with sincerity) ask a questions with a selector intention and then take it, where as LSD is more about the physical situation and people, DMT is very honed into intention and learning. I have taken heroic forded of mushrooms and not had any type of bad experience nor have I ever had a bad lsd trip, DMT however takes a very specific intent, goal, it’s something that requires more than just the right scenario, people and mindset, I suggest doing a short “prayer” but in full sincerity. Not praying to the plant but a blessing by of the onset like you were to bless food for nutrition, you want your mind, plant, and intent to align cndontntry to control it, experience what it has to offer.

just my 2 sense, ty for the update.

 

[Israel_Theli]

It definitely sounds like your experience was extremely influenced by the peer pressure as well as the "trip sitting."

In the future, if you ever decide to try it again, I'd recommend some form of physical purification such as eating only fruits/steamed vegetables or even just fasting(preferred method) for a few days prior to the experience. It's also beneficial to practice pranayama and meditate immediately before. This will allow you to relax and discover any underlying imbalances that may effect the journey.

A kind word of advice. Don’t let other people make your decisions for you, especially when it comes to non trivial things like taking the most powerful psychedelic known to man! I am one of those disappointed faces right now typing this. Ps I’ve done DMT hundreds of times and there iare so many experiences to be enjoyed at lower than break through doses.

Well I wasn't really pressured into it. I guess I should of have clarified. When I said he decided it was time, I meant that he recommended it to me since he knew I am big on exploring different states of consciousness. (previously only done through meditation, astral projection, or deity workings) He had it with him so he offered it to me when I said I would be interested. I fully expected a wild ride.

As well as I was not interested in anything other than a breakthrough. I want to explore different dimensions, not go "Woahhhhhh duddeeeee this shit is trippyyyyyyyyy" like a teenaged hippie.

I must say you should try Ayahuasca, friend. Goes way deeper in that journey.
The problem is to get a proper setting for it. Most of them are literally Christian or new age "shaman" mumbo-jumbo.
Wish there were LHP (structured) rites w/ Ayahuasca.

I've never heard of anyone getting nausea with shrooms. They're the gentlest trip around. Mescalin & the other cactus psychedelics will produce nausea. Remember, the psychedelic trip brings out whatever's inside you.

Apparently it is because shrooms are kind of hard on the stomach.

Nah, never been sick on mushrooms. Nobody I know has been sick on them. Had them raw, cooked, baked into a cake. Nice smooth trip and not the same harsh comedown as acid. Mind you, acid is one of my favourites. I've done some interesting magic work on acid; as long as I don't start laughing.

Yeah, for me they are troubling my stomach, even on microdose. That is why I stopped microdosing. I did microdosing just because I am a curious kind of person and don't want to be negative about things I never experienced. But microdoing is a completely other topic.

The macrodosing did I a few times when I was young with one of my brothers. He was living in a students house by then. and there was all kind of trying out. I get tired half an hour after eating shrooms, even in a not so high dose. And the nausea was there too. But I have to say that I have a bowel disease, so that can be the troublemaker.

What I did like about the shrooms is that colors are so intense and more dense, even in the days after. It changed my perception of colors and I started to like the cool temperature colors much more.

 

[David Wilson-Steer]

That's a shame. Nausea would spoil the trip for me too. I know what you mean about the colours. Tripping changed a lot of my perceptions and attitudes. Good luck with the DMT. I've never done it. Actually I smoked some once, or what was supposed to be DMT. It tasted like smoking plastic and didn't seem to do anything. So maybe we were sold crap. I have a friend that does it often. He has the most intense trips and a voice that keeps saying to him "Well, this is what you asked for."

I have been sick on them before. It is more common raw. I have also had friends who have too. Typically, it is on the comeup. It is actually more common than you think to be nauseated during the comeup, but after the comeup it usually stops. This is coming from someone who is very experienced with shrooms. I have done many a "heroic dose" (although i usually just call it a large dose) and I find them very insightful.

I actually am going to one day i think. I would be very interested in what it can bring me.

 

[SeekerPS]

I have smoked DMT. I did it while trying to do Gallery of magick: demons of magick 3rd ritual. What i thought is that, at least by smoking it, the effect is too short for it to work, or make me hallucinate that it worked. also the smoke is very high in temperature, which made me not able to smoke a lot. it indeed affected my perception, but it was very similar to using mushrooms, although shorter (no more than 5 minutes of effects)

 

[hollowglasd]

i have smoked DMT. on the third inhale i lost consciousness and entered the void. what i experienced cant really be put into words but there was contact with an entity from where i do not know but ever since i never want to contact that being again and so far so good,

shrooms i have no plm with but enjoy them in deep winter. havnt done acid since high school but good experiences with it

I've followed Terrence McKenna a long time, someone to listen to if you want to prepare for DMT. No, I don't think I'm ready for DMT yet.
One of his talks I linked in the Shamanism thread.

I have read some of his stuff. I think some of his philosophical works are quite disagreeable. However, his psychedelic advice is great.
