How was your insufflated experience? besides from being painful of cause. Kind of curious of how you found it.
Wow I intended to write a quick two line response, but this turned into a mini TR. I guess I had something to get off my chest lol..
It was remarkable, one of the most unique and surprising psychedelic experiences I've ever had. My dose was fairly low as I'm still working my way up with this one. After allergy testing, I insufflated 8mg of the HCL.
Before we embark, I'd like to mention that despite what you might guess from my avatar and screen name, I don't consider myself a new agey type person at all. I'm very much a rationalist, and default to a skeptical/scientific/materialist outlook.
The first 45mins were underwhelming and slightly difficult - extreme burning and an uneasy mental space, with some slightly depressing thought patterns. I mostly sat and lied on my back, basically in meditation, focusing on my breath.
After 45 - 60 mins had passed, I decided it must be past the peak, and that the trip wasn't really going anywhere. I'd had enough of the burn, so I rinsed out my sinuses in the sink. I was surprised to notice a lot of unabsorbed 5-MeO-DMT in my snot/phlegm.
I then sat down to reflect a bit on the whole thing. It was different, but maybe not really useful or interesting in any way. And then this thing happened...
The heat from my cup of tea was emanating a warm, extremely pleasant sensation that triggered an urge in me to open up my posture. I became aware that I was holding in my shoulders, in a protective, introverted kind of way. I was compelled open up my posture more and more and straighten out, and then finally to throw my shoulders back, tip my head back, and open my chest right up. Part of me was like "what the fuck is this flakey shit", and another part was like "just go with it". I chose the latter. And then ... light began to pour out from my chest. It was metaphorical light, and not actual physical light, but holy fuck, there is no other description for the sensation. It was like the brightest sunshine pouring out of my chest, blasting out and upward. My face peeled open into the hugest spontaneous smile, which became a full body smile. It was full on heart-gasm of pure ecstatic joy, intensely, with this light just pouring from my chest, my chin up, head back, chest out, light pouring and pouring up and out from my chest. Eventually it tapered off, and I settled back into a more normal posture, but still glowing intensely with the thing.
This was an ecstatic, energy experience, the kind of thing I've heard about but always thought was bullshit. Actually I still think people bullshit about this kind of thing, but it's made me realize it is actually possible, that this is a genuine thing that a human body can experience.
And an hour or two later, I was in bed asleep..
It's affected my outlook, and the way I hold my posture. My take-home lesson was that I can experience more joy in life by literally holding my posture more open, with shoulder blades back, chin up. I think it's true.
I feel that I've really only just touched the tip of the iceberg with this substance. My next dose will be in the range of 10-12mg insufflated, not sure yet.
Yes, that does sound amazing. Somewhat a different experience from what you normally hear people reporting from this. It seems very much a all or nothing kind of compound, but you seem to have managed to have gotten something more out of it.
