emesh shemesh not nececcessary
I've always found people who think DMT vapes are weak to be funny, or maybe they're just not making their own cartridges like I did. Only a couple carts were ever whipped up back in the day and it was mostly for on-the-go convenience (DMT during 7/4 fireworks is
amazing), as most DMT I consumed was in a monstrously intense dab rig since I was shooting for the psychedelic stars, and by god did I hit them with both the vape and the rig. It was trickier to break through with the vape, but the rig felt natural since I had a 1.5-2g/day dab habit at that time.
@Pfafffed classically swung through with the banger advice, he tends to do that. Recs from Joe Rogan and your friend are totally valid reasons to dive into DMT, I'll give you it's like learning how to swim by jumping off a U.S.S Destroyer, but you'll sure learn how to swim doing that. I was less than a year into psychedelics overall until I was eating DMT on the daily via ayahuasca, speaking of which, are you on any prescription medication? Depending on your response to that question, ayahuasca/pharmahuasca may be very worth checking out.
Imo the advice on this thread is great, start low and slow and work your way up. My first time smoking DMT I burnt it, the second and third times too. I was using a dab torch on a nail, came back with a nail that had an elevated core and found the experience to be significantly easier since it was easier to control the heat. Enails were surprisingly ineffective with DMT. My fourth attempt at vaporizing DMT (I never bought it, only ever extracted) was beautiful though, I had my best friend in the room and I was hitting the piece for 3 large inhalations, each held for ~15-20 seconds due to asthma, and I felt time come to a perfect stop. Before this moment I was unaware that such a thing could happen, and somehow, despite time having stopped, things were still happening around me. I couldn't move, as a mortal I was subject to time, but something beyond whatever plane I existed in decided to show me a neat party trick and turned my surroundings into a collection of resonating golden threads by pulling what I saw like a series of strings in a cross-stitch, each one pulling loose from outisde until finally the last thread I was able to see was also turned into this perfectly golden thread, resonating another overtone of the first one, all together they created a timbre/harmonic structure more beautiful than anything I've ever heard or been able to produce since, though I still chase that sound in FL Studio.
Since then, I've used DMT probably 500-1000+ times and it's treated me wonderfully, I've never experienced any sort of "cap" or anything on my DMT experiences like some people claim to. I also did an enormous amount of ayahuasca/pharmahuasca though, which via "
Street Lore" seems to have a sensitizing effect if used like Americans used to smoke cigarettes in the 70's, which despite being abnormal, was how I used ayahuasca and pharmahuasca for a while. It's one of the most unique and beautiful psychedelics, and it's a real gift to us as humans imo. If you're ever curious about extraction, check out the website dmt-nexus.me, they're a fantastic resource despite being a little bit old-school in appearance and vibe.
Edit: Also wanted to mention, don't be afraid to try things like LSD, 2C-B, Psilocybin containing fungi, etc. after trying DMT, DMT forms no tolerance and is not really subject to the tolerances of other psychedelics for some reason.
