DMT-why is IM not popular?

I have read that smoking DMT in mint leaves in a glass pipe is like razor blades on your lungs and hard to take the 3 big hits. Eating is not an option due to your system breaking it down without a MAOI involved somehow. Why isn't dissolving 40 or so mg in a liquid like sterile saline solution and IM'ing it not an ideal option? IV is out for me for various reasons like instant reaction and I have no experience in the IV process. IM seems to be the ideal way for ketamine so why not DMT? I have less than one half gram of DMT that I had tested by a very qualified lab and the results came back showing only one ingredient, DMT. Of course I am apprehensive about doing it my first time and want to get all the information I can before proceeding. Now for a little humor; a friend said I should drive to the hospital with a friend and sit in the car outside of the emergency entrance door before doing it. Another friend said I should prepare my glass pipe with mint leaves and DMT, sit outside on my picnic table and just before I light my lighter to began inhaling it, call an ambulance to my address so they will arrive in 10-15 minutes just in case it goes wrong!
 
There's likely a couple reasons for this. The first reason is that DMT is typically sold and used in the freebase form, which is insoluble in water, making it far less suitable for any forms of injection. You'd have to convert it to a salt. The second reason is that most people are highly averse to using needles for drug consumption. I'm personally less averse to IM compared to IV but it's still not something I'd be comfortable doing on my own without adequate training.
 
what about vaping it? I know they make carts. Still needle lungs?
When vaped properly, I don't think DMT is too harsh, not much harsher than dabs or THC distillate carts. I've never tried a DMT cart but I've used it in a dry herb vape with relatively precise temperature settings and it is pretty smooth when its not overheated. I usually keep the vape around 175°C, any higher and it gets a little harsh.
