Anyone got any info or experiences about damage to the lungs or arteries caused by regular DMT or changa use? Or if it is carcinogenic (guessing at least changa must be to some extent)? I'm guessing dmt is a lot less bad than changa because it is being vapourised, not smoked and there isn't any plant material being burned?
 
Well I don't smoke DMT all the time, but I will share I've had heart surgery more than once and it has not made my heart hurt that bad. Ever. Don't really know about the lungs, I'd say any smoke is bad for the lungs.
 
Well for obvious reasons I can't say it's good for your lungs or heart, but comparatively to cigarettes or even marijuana it's cant be nearly as harmful. Think of the volume of changa you smoke in a day, shit even a month, compared to marijuana.
Even if you're using once a day that's one bowl once a day, compared to the several marijuana smokers go through.
And as for your heart I've heard no evidence on DMT being harmful in any way to your heart, so unless the herb they use to place the DMT on has some adverse effect on the heart there should be no negative effect on the heart
 
Yeah not many people use dmt frequently, but the fact its caustic is making me think very regular use wouldn't be a great idea,. I love sub breakthrough trips that get me a lot of ego softening and closed eye visuals but don't leave me drained or feeling the need to have a long break to "integrate" before repeating, so if the smoke was no more harmful than a bowl of weed I would probably start tripping quite a lot lol. Its good to know that DMT hasn't caused problems for you The Dr :) when you said it has never made your heart hurt that bad, did it still cause some pain during/ after the experience, and how did this compare to pain caused by exercise or stress (or whatever showed you that you had a heart condition)?
 
Yeah, I was thinking about if it could do long term heart damage like cigarettes. Hearing The Doctor say it didn't cause him short term heart probs despite needing heart surgery was very interesting though.
 
Yeah as others said I doubt the average person smokes enough dmt to damage their lungs. I would love to see and attempt to have a convosation with the individual who did actual damage their lungs from smoking only dmt. I am sure they would have interesting things to say.
 
I cough for days after a "3 hit, 50mg".
I hate it and it stops me from doing it.

I use the 2 little pop bottle method.
 
Try a water bong^
Much smoother than a pop bottle shot gun, especially if you're using foil to smoke it off of.
With any drug, it seems vaporizing off of foil or a light bulb is very harsh.
With a water bong you just use the hot air from your flame to melt and vaporize the DMT, instead of direct heat from glass or foil
 
I find a bong a lot smoother for changa. I've heard that using aluminium foil with holes in it as a screen can give you alzheimers 8o no idea is that applies to using it to vape though :?
 
DMT is a bit caustic, which makes me think it's probably not good. However, given the frequency with which most people use dmt I doubt its a serious issue

Agreed. DMT is a much less frequent sort of thing compared to marijuana or cigarettes. Still im sure it has some sort of carcinogen effect.

Yeah I'm fairly sure it's highly carcinogenic smoke, but yeah it wouldn't be smoked often enough to be any more cancer causing than a few cans of Diet Coke (no reference for this, this statement is a general opinion) If you do smoke it enough to develop lung cancer, you are one crazy son of a bitch!
 
The few times I smoked DMT my chest/throat felt tight for about a day after, but cleared up after that. I doubt you can smoke often enough for it to have a huge impact though.
 
I went on a little binge the other night where I smoked it about 7 times in 4 hours, it being freebase dmt goo in a glass rose, and my chest did hurt alittle afterwords throat also. It was nothing major and could of also been the copious amounts of cigarettes I was smoking. The pain was gone by the next evening as others have said most people dont smoke it regularly and even if you did I don't think it would cause anyz negative side effects to your health hell if anything I think its very beneficial for your well-being
