The following is a short account of a medium-dose DMT (& cannabis) experience that probably wasn't terribly unusual or remarkable, although very rewarding.

After tentatively trying DMT for the first time (which basically resulted in a bit of a body high and a few seconds of slight visual distortion), I decided that I'd wake up before sunrise on the following Saturday morning for my second experiment, about a week after the first. It was the only time that I was sure to be left undisturbed by my parents, whom I live with; and I had thought that the morning sunlight glowing through my windows would make for a nice setting.

I woke up to my alarm at 6 o'clock A.M., and then browsed the internet and listened to a bit of music until the darkness outside subsided, and the world was illuminated by a faint blueish light. At this point I packed my glass bowl with a smallish hunk of very potent cannabis bud, a healthy pinch of dried oregano (as extra smoking medium), and a couple scoops of DMT crystals via my Swiss army knife, each slightly larger than the average match head. I've read 10 mg of DMT described as being about the volume of a match head, and on this basis, I estimate that I packed roughly 25 mg.

I sat cross-legged on my bed, pipe in one hand, lighter in the other. I noted the time, put the pipe to my mouth, flicked the lighter, and slowly inhaled, holding the flame about an inch away from the DMT-laden bowl of vegetable matter. I slowly lowered the flame toward the bowl until I tasted sweet DMT vapor filling my mouth, and I could see a thin white smoke rolling in through the glass stem of my piece. I continued to inhale until I had vaporized all that I could with this method, and then smoked the vegetable matter in the bowl in another single large hit.

As I was holding the smoke in my lungs, I felt a faint buzzing. My body felt more fluid, pulsating gently with a continually growing organic energy. I began to exhale...

Before I knew it, I was thrown into another moment in time. The buzzing had become like some sort of electrical energy that coursed throughout me with an incredible intensity, and I heard a ringing tone becoming louder and louder, rising in pitch. Visually, things were twisting and rippling. My heart was pumping quickly, my breathing was rapid - there had definitely been a sudden release of adrenaline. Surely I must have been running, climbing, swimming... chasing someone or something, or being chased... No, it couldn't be! It came to me in a sudden revelation that I had been sitting in bed, calmly inhaling DMT, which was entirely confounding.

As the intensity of the experience continued to rise, I began to feel a bit overwhelmed by the influx of sensory perception. I took a deep breath, trying to free myself of unwanted tension. I realized that I was still holding my pipe and lighter (which were covered in sweat), so I placed them on my night table. Then, something more clear came through the blurry sensory storm - I began to hear music. A chord progression, with a deep, powerful, orchestral feel. The music mirrored my emotions; a perfect aural manifestation of the experience. I became fascinated with the music, and began to channel my energy into it - as I swayed my body to its rhythm, it became more vivid, and its emotion gripped me.

At this point, the cannabinoids kicked in, and the peaceful euphoria of the cannabis intoxication began to wash over me. Any initial anxiety had given way to the powerful emotion of this internal music, which totally consumed me. Due partly to the cannabis, without a doubt, my thoughts became much more abstract: colorful, flowing, changing imagery, dancing to the beat of the Music. The synchronicity of the aural and visual aspects of the experience, which wove together in passionate harmony, was absolutely fantastic - I didn't want to make a noise, but I couldn't help myself, and burst out in laughter. I spent the next 6 or 7 minutes in a therapeutic meditation, smiling and laughing, absorbed in a passive reception of the drugs' gifts to me of color, rhythm, joy, and the psychedelic logic that seemed to piece it all together.

I gently floated down to the soft landing of a happy stone, tryptamine vibrations melting away...



After thoughts:

Firstly, as you've probably gathered from the way I described the experience, it was mainly recreational. Although it positively affected my mood for the rest of the day, there were no life-changing revelations to speak of, as there were with other psychedelic experiences of mine. Secondly, it would seem that at this dosage level aural "hallucinations" were definitely present, mainly in the form of music (and occasionally distant babbling voices), yet almost all imagery was within the "mind's eye" - no solid hallucination. OEVs were only present during the first minute or so - although I think after that my mind was so diverted from the outside world that I didn't really consider looking for them.


Peace! :)

How very interesting... I am particularly interested by the auditory component to your experience... I am coming more and more to realize that the CEAs of DiPT at least (even if not so much the OEAs) can be found in other more visual psychedelics too. A recent 2C-B/2C-C (34 mg oral/10 mg insufflated respectively) trip gave me pitched flutters and bloops akin to some aspects of peak DiPT CEAs (earlier 2C-C trips had more just the fluttery aural vibrations and the occasionaly fwham); but I've yet to experience chord sequences on anything other than high-dose (100mg+) DiPT, and even then, only sometimes. :)
 
I do seem particularly prone to auditory phenomena on psychs - LSD gives me super vivid melodies, chordal cadences, and just plain weird noise. Even on cannabis I find it easier to more clearly conceptualize original music.

Although I seem to have exchanged visual phenomena for the former, as I don't seem to ever get super solid or intricate CEVs on any drug, just vague dream-like imagery in the "mind's eye".

I'm definitely interested in experimenting with DiPT one day... :)

I never get notable CEVs on psychedelics; I've had fairly intense and intricate CEVs on methylone, and to a lesser extent cannabis; but not with serotonergic psychedelics.

I love the auditory aspects of psychedelia... it's been a while since I've used DiPT (partly because of the duration of the auditory distortions, partly because it's less reinforcing that the 2C-halos I have at the moment, I guess); it is indeed quite wonderful in both its OEAs (its transformations of normal sound are quite exquisite; and if you play instruments yourself, that's an added level of astonishment) and its CEAs (though it sounds like you've experienced as intense CEAs from LSD as I ever have from DiPT... I'm looking forward to some LSD use soon, so I hope to experience the auditory side of that too...)
 
Morning TAC ;)

I was just thinking.... Do you remember what the power chord you spoke of above sounded like? <3 <3

I would SOOOOO love to hear that ;)

Talk to you soon

TMH

Love <3
 
^ Morning TMH! :) Yes, I do remember, to a pretty fine detail, as a matter of fact. I'll fire up Reason + Logic when I get home and see if I can't make a simulation of the auditory hallucinations that I experienced. Multimedia trip report FTW!
