I don't mean materially, how to ingest DMT, I mean, how to handle the effects?
I acquired an old batch of freebase which was deemed oxidized. I tried it a while ago and didn't get much effect, just the bad taste
Turns out the batch was still very much effective. I'm hipster vaper but I've been sitting on my finances a lot, so instead of vaping from a tank, I switch to my old dripper because it's a lot more cost-effective. I forgot I still had some DMT left in a vial and decided to give it another go. Turns out I was vaping on a bad setting before (I'm annoyingly forgetful about these things) and switched to the correct settings and gave it a go.
By chance, I have also seemed to have perfected my inhaling techniques. The first draws I took and held in, were quite familiar. Vision got swirly, dizzy, strange body-load, patterns. Not unpleasant, kind of feels like LSD would. Swirly, breathing visuals.
The second set of tokes, I held in, really kicked my ass and then some. I absolutely started seeing cross-eyed and lost control of my perception. I had experienced the geometric everything-become-flat-like-a-lego-world before, but this was like that, but superimposed over eachother in a dizzying kaleidoscope-effect.
I felt like I was hinging between reality and strangeness and although I collected myself through breathing exercises, it was absolutely as impressive as it was frightening. I've never broken through, but looking back, my mind started racing and I honestly got scared. Is this what the second plateau is, what people experience as an uncomfortable anxiety? My vision was about to give out and I constantly caught myself losing control by focusing on things and trying to "snap out of it". However, my brain had no idea what to snap out of. It's best described as a panic, although I managed to pull myself together. The effects wear off fast enough and the more or less calmed my mind, even though time becomes very much warped.
I realize that you need to take pace with this sensation and you need to let go of control, but that's a lot harder than it sounds. My set and setting were fine, although they could be more optimal (sitting at my desk, with headphones on, listening to Dvorak).
I'm also open to suggestions for set and setting. I've contemplated going into a quiet nature backdrop, but I don't have a private place like that at my disposal. I don't want seclude myself too much, but I also don't want anyone around. I'd be too conscientious about someone else nearby. Lying down in the dark, or near dark feel like a depressing state to be in. Music or no music? Light or no light? Nature or the safe confines of my home? Alone or with someone?
As expected, DMT offers more questions than answers, but the psychonaut journey is simply one that I cannot shake. Your advice or experience is much appreciated!
