Hey, i havent read other peoples responses, im just going to answer Bsiren's original post.
Bsiren,
if you want the best expereince i suggest you read my entire post (this goes for anyone really)
Dmt is a great first psychedelic. Just make sure you do it right your first time!!
I used to give people dmt that have never had psychs before and they all love it.
The thing is, take some efforts to make it real good your first time out. Heres a list of things to follow:
dont think about it too much while your about to do it, when your on it, dont think about thinking. really, what im trying to say is dont get nervous or anything, its really not that big of a deal.
the thing here is that if you are nervous and only go half way that youll be stuck in a middle state, both tripping and not quite completely emmersed in the dmt space. you WANT to be completely there, or the expereince will be akward. very akward.
so, lets say your on your second hit and you feel like "WOAH MAN IM TRIPPIN BALLSASLALready". your not. not compared to where you (trust me) want to be. your expereince will not be all it can. the dosage is like exponential in effect.
what im saying is, even if you are kinda freaked by your second hit
1. GO ALL THE WAY.
3-4 hits, each inhaled slowly then held in for 10 full seconds (by your last hit time will be extremely illusive, in which case you will have to rely completely on intuition. by that time your in the clear ;D )
dont burn the dmt (if its on fire thats bad, put it out) just cook it real nice like, a carrier herb helps. try mullien (its the best, and a little lemony)
another thing that alot of people miss is a naturally relaxed state of your body prior to the expereince.
your heart beats and pumps blood all around the body.
let me tell you something about your lymphatic system.
it does not. when your body is cleaning itself of dead cells and toxic crap it goes into your lymph system. it will sit there until your muscles and skeleton push it to where it needs to be (your chest, where you cough it up and swallow it).
if you are sedentary this can lead to a short life (build up of lymph makes you feel crappy and your blood pressure gets higher because theres more pressure all over your body).
if you are an active person and move your lymph around alot this wont be a problem, and you will generally feel good all the time.
how does this apply to a DMT trip?
well, when all your lymph is pushed its similar to taking a fresh breath of air if your holding your breath (think about how if your blood wasnt pumped it would just sit there and your cells would die from no oxygen). You will feel less pressure on your body and the important part is that YOU CAN FEEL THINGS AND SENSE THINGS more readily. your senses will be hieghtened and your skin will feel nice all over. prior to a DMT trip you want to be as comfortable as possible, and this will definitly help.
if you havent tried moving every muscle in your body until you start swallowing a bunch of lymph you should try it (dont forget your eye muslces!) you will feel and sense things you didnt know were a part of life.
so
2. excersize and do some yoga and GET LOOSE, shake around a bit until you dont have any tension in your body or mind.
another interesting thing that lies along the same lines as the last point is other pressures in the body. you dont want to do DMT on a full stomach. you also dont want to have to use the bathroom before a trip. diuretics like rosemary tea will make you feel GREAT after you pee from the releved stress in your body. it will also help to detox a little before the trip.
3. fast a little bit and get things flowing.
fast that day (it will do alot more than just make it so you dont have a full stomach; when you dont eat your body enters a state of hunger, of desire, and other things on your mind take a lesser priority, or well, really you reprioritize things, giving you insight into your life that you cant do otherwise). this is good before a trip.
drink some rosemary tea (crush up some rosemary leaves, put them in a coffee filter and pour hot water over it, just enough to cover it until it drips through, then do a little more etc..) wait for a bit, take a nice long piss and dance a little bit prior to tripping.
more things for when doing it with a group of people:
when you and your friends are taking turns on the peice, i sugest that whoever wants the strongest expereince not go first!
it might be resin in the pipe, or the fact that its already heated up or something, but for whatever reason in allll my expereinces i have found the second person to go always has a WAY stronger trip. if your introducing people to it a good trick you can do is to hit it first to show them its nothing to worry about and then when they get seconds they go all the way and its goooooddd.
so if you want a strong trip
4. go second
eyes open or eyes closed?
5. close your eyes.
forget about your body.
just trust me on this one

you dont need to open your eyes, if your curious go for it. but really... its just like waking up from a good dream. youll have to start all over if you open your eyes... its like ripping pages out of a book or like fast fowarding through a movie youve never seen if you open your eyes.
the strongest expereince (which is always the best, the further you go the more relaxing it is, its like being in a lucid dream, and it actually becomes like an actual PLACE... if you do it right)
that i have had was when it was cold outside and dark. i had a jacket on and i just thought i was going to finish off a bowl that a friend had just hit. 2 full bong rips (no watter) and i was OUT. this usually does not happen off 2 hits. my guess is that set and setting actually influenced the trip (which in case of dmt it usually does not). my guess is that because it was cold my body's metabolism was up, causing the dmt to work faster and stronger)
6. do it in a dark (moonlight or the equivalent) cool (50-60f) place
candles might be nice.
when you are finally there, after you have departed from the multitude of flames and slid beyond the lines, when things pick up and carry you away from your body, try not to focus on the visuals. instead:
7. ask it (whatever "it" is) a question not related to visuals.
in that rediculously strong expereince i had when i was "there" i stated that "you have my attention, now what do you want to share with me", or at least the telekenetic equivalent of that. you will find that it is an extremely lucid place.
the adventure starts there.
if you do all these things i can guarentee you will have a fantastic experience. (as long as you not like selling it to everyone or doing it around people your uncomfterble with)
