Failed first DMT attempt:(

[thatdreamer123]

I'm still cursing myself for not taking the time to build the "machine", but oh well I still have a plenty left.

I'm just curious as to why it didn't work...

Me and a friend loaded what was probably 40mg in a glass weed pipe. A brass screen down first, some basil, the dmt, and then some more basil.

We went and sat on logs in a forest (is this an unsafe place? I want to do this outdoors, but it's either there is no where comfortable/safe to sit or people are around.) and decided to smoke it there.

I held the flame far from the basil so it just barely lit it, I could taste the DMT along with the basil (yuck, it tasted like Spice). We rapidly passed the pipe back and forth between hits.

After it was all gone, very quickly, I felt this sort of swelling of my body. I felt like my eyes were watering, mouth watering, nose starting to run slightly, as if all the orifices of my face were becoming saturated (I get this feeling on mushrooms). I felt this very warm and fuzzy pressure all over my body but especially in my chest and stomach.

I felt as if I was being squeezed through a very pleasant comfortable tube towards wherever I was looking. I was staring at the forest floor and quickly thought, nahh I don't want to go underground. so I looked up through the dense trees in which there was a gap and the blue, sunny sky with puffy clouds was visible.

I noticed the trees were moving slightly and appeared "HD" and sort of popped out at me, very similar to mushrooms. I could have sworn I began to see the faces I also see on mushrooms.

I felt myself being pulled towards the sky, but only slightly. But the most peculiar part was what it felt like the sky was. That rift between the trees appeared to be (more mentally than visually), just a roiling, and churning world of fragments and pieces of this planet (somehow reminded me of this video game Katamari Damacy, not sure why as I've never played it, just the colors and pieces seemed to fit). the light was becoming incredibly bright, but gentle and soft.

And I longed to go to this place, and I could feel it coming. As most of this was all mental, the visual aspect was very subtle, it was just like a huge premonition of what was going to happen/would happen.

And then it subsided, in all of probably a minute or less. The entire time I was fully conscious, I could move and see freely. I just felt somewhat disconnected.

Me and my buddy were sitting there pretty out of it, and he looks at the pipe, nothing much left in it, he absent mindedly took it and took a hit through the empty screen, but I noticed he held it for a good 10 seconds, and blew out nearly nothing. But this time he started laughing uncontrollably and was somewhat frozen, this only lasted for a few seconds but he noted that he had gotten much stronger effects from that than the entire bowl.

and then it hit me, fuck, we totally forgot to hold the hits in

I realized we had simply forgot about holding in the smoke, and hit the pipe and blew the smoke out almost immediately in order to get the next hit. Is this was caused the trip to not work? I had heard that you want to take as many hits as possible before the effects take you elsewhere.

For the rest of the day I felt very dysphoric, sort of zoned, and my mind was still on the experience that almost happened.

There's definitely a lot of technique involved with a proper DMT experience. I still muck it up myself sometimes. Also, 40mg isn't all that much for 2 people. To really break on through to the other side you probably need 40-60 each. And there's a plethora of different smoking techniques, and no shortage of ingfo on them, both here & at dmt nexus. Good luck! & be careful out there

I don't know the quality of your product but my friends and I found 60mg to be too much. We were never able to properly "catch up" to the trip. I would start with 40-45mg each. That tends to be the sweet spot IME and within our group.

 

[unfuckwitable]

absolutely, 40mg seems about right for one individual, but certainly not to be shared amongst two. of course this also is highly dependent upon the quality/purity of your product. may i suggest researching a few other techniques - as others have mentioned - there are a myriad of them. perhaps another method of vaporization may be a bit more successful. good luck!

I can vouch for the lung preserving and mind flabbergastering properties of "the machine". Totally worth the effort.
I also had my mildly frustrating and totally bad tasting times with the pipe sandwich method, and then came "the machine". Never looked back
The same 40 mgs you smoked with your pipe n' basel might take you much further, so be warned.

PS: don't forget to burn the crap out of the steel sponge before using for it's deviate purpose.

blowing the vapor out immediately is surely one of the reasons you got little effects. i've been very successful with holding it in about 20 seconds or until you notice the first effects.
indirect heating of the dmt is also something to do, you'll burn/destroy less of it. we generally don't use glass weed pipes around here, so i might be wrong, but if you put the dmt not on a screen but inside the pipe and heat the glass from below, i think it would work great (but very likely it would be a pain to clean).

I used a machine once with 40mgs and it didn't work at all. Maybe I'm just a stoner but I did the same amount in a bong and boy did it work.

Don't feel too bad about a failed attempt, I had a few before I finally got there. When you do you know about it.

It happens all ya can do is try again. As others have said 40mg between two people isnt that much plus you have to factor in what was not inhaled/burnt. I always hold it in at least 15 seconds and when i first started it would always take me at least 3-4+ hits, now I can blast out of the world in 2. On one occasion i was gone on just 1 which was pretty startling to say the least lol. My point is practice makes perfect you'll get the hang of it.

Also make sure you take long deep hits, dont try and get a huge one within seconds because most of the dmt will burn, let it cherry and suck at a medium pace(8 seconds or so)

What i do is put weed then 40-45mg of DMT then a little more weed. I then flash the lighter until it is all gone. We always take one hit and blast off, the only time we didnt get full effects from one hit was the first time��
