I snorted it a couple of times, but have stuck to vaping since. It's not as harsh as my DMT when vaped. When snorted, I found the taste bearable, but the drip caused considerable soreness to my nasal mucosa, as it slid past on its way south. Once I was good and high, I washed my face (and insufflated some water) to wash the drip away. Plain sailing after that. I suspect that the blood vessels shrink away in the mucosa after the first blast, rather like with coke, and subsequent insufflations are not so effective, although I only have my own experience upon which to base this theory.
This stuff is, as many have pointed out, a superb adjunct to music. I tend to follow its kink with the music choice. A particular track which comes to mind is Aphex Twin's 'Windowlicker', whose video seems to share something with the DPT's twisted flavour. I also dug some Keth Jarrett keyboard improvisation stuff and there is always something worth having on Gilles Petersons Radio1 show at such times.
I've had a couple of grams of freebase in the freezer for 3 years now, which is still good to go. My next logical step is to try it orally on 300mgs of Moclobemide. I'm waiting for an appropriate opportunity. . .
As for Daniel Pinchbeck, it's his fault I got into RCs in the first place. His account of DPT was like a challenge to me. 'Surely it can't be that bad'. Sure enough, plenty of people reported otherwise and my first goes were quite amazing from my point of view. Nothing more to worry about than DMT or the other more profound materials. Is Pinchbeck almost responsible for some peoples bad experiences? There was a seed of doubt in my mind when I first tried it thanks to him. 'Breaking Open'etc. was a great psychedelic primer for anyone inside or outside the psychedelic community. His second book (2012) was, in my view, not so good. He seemed to have lost his judgement in his journeying and fallen for some fairly odd folk and their views, so that by the end he was 'channelling' etc. and fairly convinced of his authenticity. It brought to mind the adage 'Anyone can hear voices in their heads, but what takes skill is knowing which ones are telling the truth.' Probably Mckenna or Jim DeKorme.
