Me too. I'm also surprised no one has mentioned Dipropyltryptamine (DPT). It's definitely more intense than DMT alone ime.
Trip report
Firstly, all psychedelic drugs affect peoples minds differently also our subjective experiences regarding the intensity of the trip.
However, i'd also like to bring some attention to DPT as well. I haven't done DMT to compare it with dipropyltryptamine so let me put it this way:
If someone somehow proved and guaranteed to me that DMT will be stronger than my experiences on DPT, i would decline taking it. Simple as that.
I've done some heavy doses of various tryptamines and lysergamides so I know what ego death feels like. And as much as i'm extatic about these kind of trips to this day, I still find ego dying to be less scary and delirious than actually becoming a different person inside your mind with a complete discourse inside your head materialising into visual and auditory hallucinations. It's absolutely great. I completely get the trip report that I quoted. It's a really well written report.
I remember coming up on a strong dose and I told myself: "
this is the hardest drug that could possibly exist". Repeatedly, until i drowned in the soup of complete psychedelia. It is the only drug, about which I never read trip reports extensively before trying it, which was a stupid mistake but necessary because I know myself and I wouldn't touch this drug based on the impression I would get, had I read what exactly is waiting for me. There are too many people describing dark, sinister and difficult trips on DPT, but it's insane how good and meaningful it is which is really impossible to properly explain to someone who hasn't done it before.
I hope i can try DMT some day and also 5-meo-dmt, just so I know how well these two stack up to this DPT magic.
