DMT, did I just almost die?

It could have been the DMT messing. You can't really overdose on DMT, but as far as what happened I don't know why you saw what you saw. Bad trips are usually cause by how you feel when you smoked that day or how you felt days before it. Atleast in my case.
 
having to much psychedelics in a short amount of time can definitley make you think your overdosing, even at moderate doses the feeling one had to much of a drug can be very present ime.

also from what i gather before you od on dmt you wont be able to smoke anymore kind of like how cannabis is i guess im not sure though.

also i recommend not eyeballing doses EVER you can fuck yourself that way, you probably consumed alot more dmt than you thought you did.
 
No you can't. Don't be scared. <3

It's not uncommon to feel like you're dying as the world dissolves away. You can lose all sense of self etc. at high doses and if you can learn to relax and let go, even though it seems like you 'shouldn't', it can be even more wonderful. I have cried many times after smoking DMT. Once I thought I had actually died and I was so relieved to be back. But it shows you what you have all around you, right? Love <3

Have fun at your graduation!!! :)

You should do it sitting down or lying down. Don't get up. Just remember that nothing can go wrong, no one has ever died from smoking DMT. Your 20 smokes were just a warm-up! Embrace infinity! And then come back! Then embrace infinity etc. Don't hold on to thoughts, let them flow, come-and-go, you'll have no worries and you can slide in and out effortlessly. Thinking and DMT smoking don't mix too well; nor does running around really! Hope you're well now, though. <3 It goes from your system in no time, so you'll be fine.

May not be appropriate right now for OP, but maybe later:
If you want to go further, clear your mind of thoughts as much as possible, smoke a little bit to get 'the feel' for it - which will relax you as well - and then keep puffin' 'till you're fully dissolved.

I always eyeball it. There's no point not having enough fuel in the rocket! All aboard the Dreamland Choo-Choo!!! I've smoked stupid amounts and I've honestly never died once. Or if I did I came back - so same difference really! :)
Jump in; no fear! (Maybe not right now. But next time!)

It's just your imagination running away with you - I've never heard of death through overdose on DMT - it's probably impossible.

You'll have taken too much and that coupled with all the reading about "ego-death" will have made your imagination go apeshit. I took too much DMT rectally once and it wasn't pleasant but you arn't anywhere near death.
 
deletedked even more thinking it was it and I'm dead.

You should tell her that anyway! I know what you mean about feeling that it's time-up, I've felt the same thing - it can be scary, definitely. There's no 'right way' to do it, so just keep the dose low next time. It comes on immediately so there's no reason to not just keep smoking little bits. Especially if you want to stay non-dissolved! The fear of death is a strong one, but it's honestly nothing dangerous (DMT, that is!). Once you get through the mental barrier, infinity awaits. But as I said, there is no 'right' way.
Personally I don't think you've been smoking nearly enough. A larger dose will blast you on your way before you have much time to worry about shaky edges! <3 Do as you like though. But always: No thoughts, no panic, no fear. Meditative mind sees everything and is scared by nothing. However bizarre. And it can get bizarre; but you hardly need telling. ;)
Think of it as having a nap. You don't worry about dying when you fall asleep. The body knows what to do. The brain's the only problem here! Pure mind, no thoughts, no problems.
You can't force your way out of it. It only lasts 10 minutes, it's not that long to wait in the grand scheme of things! Don't forget to factor in extreme time dilation, though. I made that mistake once and I thought I had died!

I must have a little snicker about Ismene's rectal dosing! He won't mind.
Yes it does show what i have around me. I just told my girlfriend how much I love her. It made me rethink my life. I love myself and wanna keep living.

I have anxiety and the first think that I thought of when I felt myself leaving my body was overdose . I never looked into what the ld for DMT was so I became really worried and freaked out. I don't think I'm doing to take doses this big again anytime soon. Maybe one day Ill be ready if it ever comes.

I still don't know what to believe , it felt soo real... I almost died is all that's going through my head

Sounds like you were actually about to truly breakthrough and then you panicked. It's the most terrifying feeling in the world, but if you had hit just a little more DMT, the next thing you would have known you would have been so far into space that you wouldn't have had time to think about dying or living - you wouldn't have known what those words meant anymore.
 
Just dissolve the DMT freebase in white vinegar until it's ph neutral. I wouldn't recomend it tho - it's more like smoking it than oral, comes on a lot faster and is over quicker.
 
Coming back from thinking you'd died is perhaps one of the most amazing feelings you can have. It doesn't matter that you didn't have a huge dose. If you feel like you're 'gone' and you'll never see anyone again; then how lovely it is to be back! <3 It's all around you. It was one of the best experiences for me the first time I thought I was 'dead', even though it wasn't the strongest trip. When you have nothing ('death') how wonderful to have it all again, right?! Love, love, love, take care.;) Small puffs of the magic dragon. Titrated reality at the end of a pipe! ;) Rectal dosing is for the advanced weirdo! No offense, just foolin' around y'no. Been smoking DMT myself tonight, so I feel like I've lived it with ya! I just got dissolved and re-molded; boring compared to you my friend.

911. Ha! Elves robbin' my house and trying to kill me. =D Good call on not making that call!
Doesn't it burn plugging DMT? I've tried before . And I just couldn't and I pushed it out right after I injected it in. And the burn lasted soo long.


This trip has thought me soo much and showed me alot. It really just changed my life. Maybe one day I'll be ready to break through. For now ima keep my doses low. :) thanks y'all!!

Feeling like you are dying is super common with DMT. You aren't actually dying. People call it "ego death". I've found if you try to fight it/control it, it only makes it worse. If you give in and stop fearing death it gets better. And you can turn it into a positive as it helps you appreciate life. If you feel like you are not ready for this feeling and want to avoid it, it is usually less likely to happen with lower doses.

Amen. The term "ego-death" is just something Tim Leary made up in the 60's so he could make tripping sound respectable to people who didn't take drugs. You wern't "getting stoned" you were "having an ego death like the Buddha did". It's complete bollocks obviously, but because of Leary "death" gets associated with psychedelics quite a lot which is unhelpful.

You don't want people going into a psychedelic experience with the idea of death in their minds - it's blatant bullshit and profoundly stupid.
 
Feeling of death experiences... always the strangest, but cool in a crazy way. I remember being on a good amount of methoxetamine and out of nowhere I had this sticking feeling that I would going to die. Not the night where I was on so much mxe I couldn't even walk or think straight, this was different - I had full control of myself. Idk why, but I was 99% sure I was going to die this night. It was weird.
 
I don't like the term 'ego death' either. On my breakthrough 5-MeO-DMT experiences it didn't feel like a death but a change - like I'd changed into some kind of other being that exists in a completely different way, and the fear was in the idea that I wasn't going to change back. Then you cease to have any conception of what you used to be, and the fear dissolves.

OP, I think part of the problem is that you were alone. When I've smoked 5-MeO alone I've sometimes had to fight down panic because I think "who's looking after my body now? What if something happens to it while I'm away?" Of course nothing will, but it's hard to rationalize when you're in that state. Having another person around just for the psychological reassurance it provides is essential for me if I want to break through. I know a lot of people can and do break through alone though.
 
I kind of do like the term, personally. It makes me think of melding into everything, of becoming one with everything...or realizing that everything is connected, and that I am no greater or lesser than anything else. Its a calm feeling, personally, to feel reduced to atoms and molecules and to know that everything else can be reduced to that, as well. I don't know...ego death strikes me as a term of transcendence.

Very Tyler Durden :)
