I've smoked DMT before, but only in the form of plant material which performs much like Salvia leaf does compared to when it is extracted. However, I recently acquired some pure DMT and in my excitement to try it, I eventually proceeded a few days later when I had some spare time and had a taste test, I used approximately 5mg eyeballed, and experienced pretty much as I was used to feeling from smoking the plant material. Which consisted of a few perceptual disturbances, and mild opening of the consciousness, much like that of a 4g trip on mushrooms with a slightly different element to it, but only lasting about 4 minutes before things start to lose their psychedelic trip instead of several hours. Anyway, feeling up for a significantly greater trip after feeling somewhat dissatisfied, I waited about an hour and measured out around 4-5x as much: about 20mg (using 0.01 scales) and placed it in my glass pipe.

------------------The Trip------------------------------

The smoke tastes like a unique blend of cinnamon and chilli while simultaneously numbing my mouth like cocaine. It quickly numbs the whole body and all my sensations, leaving me wondering if I’m still breathing, as I sink into a bed I feel as though my body is becoming liquefied. The place in which I’m lying starts to engulf me as though I am sinking through it. A fear begins to strike laced with confusion and panic, like I’m drowning, while simultaneously everything has extreme clarity and beauty. A part of me seems to think “this is what it feels like to no longer be trapped in your body, this is what it feels like to be dead. An energy is telling me that all is okay which as a result created a clash of emotions, as euphoria meets dysphoria. My eyes are closed and there’s a series of undulating patterns as though the colours of a variety of patterns are turning into paint and are blending together over and over again as they appear as velvet. I open my eyes and the vision of my bedroom in front of me appears extremely oversized and huge while at the same time insignificant, as it appears to be covered in tribal/hieroglyphic writing.

Eventually I catch hold of my breath and can feel myself taking big gulps which I now have the capacity to tell myself to slow down. I look around and colours are different, brighter, it’s as though the resolution and frames per second have been turned up to the maximum threshold on an LCD monitor (only far superior to any Current LCD screen currently existing). I am able to examine things with this unique crispness and it provides a sensation of profound beauty, I feel glad to be alive. Feelings and sensations slowly returns to my body over the next 5 minutes. But not as though I was numb, but as though my senses had become non-existent, or that I’d forgotten they were there... Colours slowly fade back to normal, and I am back here, typing this experience.

--------------------------------------------------------

The experience didn’t feel specifically profound when compared with the revelations I have achieved on other psychedelics, except the extent of DMT’s intensity is far beyond other psychedelics I've had. I believe it gave me a taste of what it might feel like to be dead. It definitely felt quite intense, but I can’t point out any certain aspects at the present, which have enabled me to progress my spirituality significantly. I think a large proportion of the fear came from nervousness arising prior to smoking as well as the intense nature of the smoke that caused me to cough and feel a shortness of breath.

Since this experience, I've been glowing with an intense euphoria that has made me giddy and excited about life. I feel happy to be alive, but not only that, I have this strong sense of connectedness to the earth. For example when I look at nature, particularly older species of plants, I feel an intense connection to them, like my spirit is as old as theirs. I've never really felt this things before, It's kind of like the patterns of my existence have been written somewhere and I am experience a reflection of my memories as we speak. For once in my life, I feel at home with myself.

In retrospect, I always thought DMT would be over the top scary, and hard to comprehend/deal with to the extent where I might have been able to have lost my mind, but it never was. It reminds me of Salvia where the experience is so short it's quite hard to even conjure up any incredibly profound thoughts but instead seeing visions that you can only really reflect upon and try to gain meaning from upon coming down.

Any thoughts, greatly appreciated
Thanks for reading

hey nice report...

I'm always surprised how many people think DMT is scary before they try it. Most (if they've got a good product) are completely dissuaded of that when they take their first hit. Its pure love given the right set and setting.

You mentioned your mind may have been a little nervous beforehand (well thats natural! you're taking a powerful tryptamine!). But, you can use that nervousness and channel all that energy into a positive direction (its an incredible amount of energy building in you if you think about it). Meditation or breathing exercises before smoking a tryptamine have always helped me.

I'll be excited to hear about your next experience with a higher dosage!

Have you checked out "the machine" thread in PD forum? This is a way that you can smoke 60-70mg at once (breakthrough level) without wasting any material.

I'll often smoke 15-30mg in a regular pipe on top of some marijuana though. So, if you continue to do that you are in good company :)

But, I highly suggest before proceeding further with sub-breakthrough doses you make it a priority to 'breakthrough'.

With DMT the most important thing is letting go and relaxing completely (relaxing your physical body allows the spiritual/mental body to breakthrough the veil of patterns and visuals into the realms beyond (within your mind).

DMT is the greatest neurotransmitter ever!!!

oh also, I have used the anti-depressant effects you touched upon with DMT in a medicinal fashion (smoking 5-15mg every day provides a very nice clarity to one's mind).

Although for the sake of harm reduction I cannot advise others to do this.
 
Thankyou very much, it's nice to read some personal tips on using DMT. At the moment, i'm the only person I know who has done DMT (Apart from the individual who procured it for me, who I don't really know at all).
I did try some breathing techniques before using it, which made me significantly calmer then usual, thankyou very much for the tips. As with my early salvia experiences, A very minor shakiness would still remain throughout the trip if I was even a slight bit anxious prior following breathing techniques... The adrenaline would leave its mark. However the salvia trips where I completely gave myself over to the high were always the most euphoric, and intensely euphoric at that.

I have a big intention to breakthrough as for me, that was always the final frontier with drugs. I believe I may have achieved what people call a breakthrough, when I was on a microdot, some strong weed and a nang a few years back, where conciousness exploded in my face and I felt a million geometric patterns that explained what the infinite universe really meant in one simple blow, and shook me right to my core. All that's really happened with my drug use prior to that was touching on that sensation again, the perspective never really changes. As it is a perspective of infinite universal possibilities.

So if someone could tell me what it actually defines breakthrough that would be great, so when I reach that experience, i'll know. I have a suspicion it's the feeling you get when you forget you're alive/forget who you are, or what you are and that you exist.
Secondly, does this happen to everyone, When i've done Salvia i've had intense experiences where it felt as though I was crossing into another persons life and I was becoming their mind, but if I focused hard enough, I could remember my own life too, like a curtain had just been lifted up into another reality and I was looking in, but I could close it if I really wanted to.

I've read so many reports of salvia and DMT experiences that have been titled "Breakthrough", but have had very similar experiences to me. Like when you ask what Love really is and some people say "If you don't know what love is, then you haven't experienced it." and I think to myself, well I have this intense feeling that rises from within me, but well if I "should know" then I guess I don't. But i'm pretty dam sure I know what Love is, or at least I know what it feels like to feel as though you are no longer one person anymore, but two.

I'm thinking this is what happens on DMT, though i'd hate to be arrogant and have it kick my arse. The reason why I haven't tried so extensively to breakthrough is that I never have a trip sitter to watch me, and I know it's weird but I have a suspicion that the people who would watch me might make me paranoid for some reason, which could be create a bad setting.

I don't know, I don't think it's a good idea to breakthrough alone is it.

Sorry for the long post.
 
It is a good idea to break through alone. DMT is very safe, physically. As long as you are in a very calm state of mind (I find late evening the best for this once endogenous melatonin starts kickin' in around midnight) it is a great idea.

haha! No, you won't get a definition out of me at least and probably out of any other person =D
There is no way to define it. You'll know when you experience it...the phenomenology (experience) of a DMT breakthrough is completely otherworldly (especially the first few times). Its possible to be transported to ancient cities, castles, underground caves, fly through the stars, meet intelligent and complex entities, have sexual intercourse with aliens, etc etc (the limit is your IMAGINATION).

Have fun with it! And I hope to hear more from you soon! :)

peace,
samadhi
 
Thanks again, i'd try it tonight if it weren't so late and I wasn't as tired as I am.

haha, I flew through the stars, sat in caves in crazy surreal worlds full of lush fertility and stormy sky's of purple beauty. and had sexual intercourse with aliens, all while on DXM.
I found out I was hypersensetive the first time I took it at 420mg.
I can trip quite hard off 30mg
and 420mg had me unable to move, except to throw up occasionally before being launched back into intense sensory deprevation, extreme time dilation and the occasional out of body experience. The negative aspect was that I couldn't eat or walk properly for about 3 days. I couldn't think straight, or talk properly for about 3 weeks, and I didn't feel 'normal' for a good 3 months. But that's another story. Ketamine is a far better journey into Dissociation (and sensory deprivation tanks are even better).

I'm also finding meditation far more productive for personal growth than drug use as well. But when I started on my quest to experiment with a multitude of substances, the number one goal was to breakthrough on DMT... and I think i'm just about ready.

Thanks for your support, hopefully you'll see a trip report about my breakthrough experience up soon, and perhaps it will be similar to what i'm expecting, but potentially far more beautiful.
