My friend smoked DMT for the first time using the sandwich method w/ weed through a bong. It was a small dose, probably about 5mg. It felt like a harsh hit, too hot and too dense, and he felt like his throat and chest were getting burnt. He found himself being unable to breathe properly, then started to get a panic attack. During the experience he had mostly uneasy and chaotic thoughts. Probably took the hit too quickly, as it made his oral cavities, throat and lungs so sore and numb that it caused panic during the experience.
He then developed hives two days later, similar to that of an allergic reaction and ended up in the hospital. The doctors thought he had some mild symptoms of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or Lupus... but concluded he doesn't have anything life-threatening. Still worried though. The back of his tongue has swollen up and developed a chameleon skin-like texture, with some white bulbs that are bleeding. He's recovering now, and using Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% topically for the hives.
The DMT didn't work much at all, although he had some color enhancement for a minute.
Very sad about this and frightened.
Question is... Has this ever happened to anyone else?? Any idea what factors might've caused this? We're still trying to figure out if it was the vapor, mold in the weed, if the DMT had something else in it, or hydrocarbon poisoning. He's used the bong for smoking weed other before and never had any problems with it though.
