Looking for comments from psychonauts experienced with DMT. If anything I'm doing sounds like an incredibly bad idea, if there's any suggestion you'd like to put forward, I'd be very grateful to hear it. In the interests of harm reduction, I feel it would be stupid not to check my plan with people who likely know better.
I'll be doing this with two friends. We intend to use a simple bong for maximum effect. None of us have ever tried DMT before, but we all have experience with a wide range of other hallucinogens, and I have recently partaken in an ayahuasca ceremony.
My plan is to do it on some sand dunes not far from our lodging, at 3:30a.m. The three of us will smoke it at the same time rather than in turns, going in together. Immediately prior, we will drop acid, perhaps about three hits (~100 mics each). The intention is that when we return from hyperspace, we will have the next twelve hours to process the experience as the gentler, more familiar LSD trip unfolds. We ought to be at the peak around about sunrise. I hope for a heartwrenchingly beautiful and profound experience.
I fully expect that my meeting with the entheogenic spirits will be a dark one, because I am going in with deeply troubled thoughts. I believe the difference between catastrophe and catharsis will be whether I am able to surrender to the experience. I anticipate that this will be a full death experience, with my awareness leaving my body and expanding to the much wider scope of my environment, including the realms imperceptible to my baseline human senses. I believe I will come back ultimately unharmed, but also that I will not necessarily remember this at the time. To this end, I have prepared the following prayer before I take the first toke:
I offer my body and mind to this experience; I surrender my life and sanity to your discretion; keep them or don't. In return for this offering, please guide me with wisdom and compassion.
I'm told the nature of the trip is unimaginable until you've been there. The best I way I can picture it is to compress the full strength of a six-hour ayahuasca voyage into twenty minutes. My experience with ayahuasca was so devastating that I spent the week after seriously contemplating suicide. Yet I'm glad I did it, because in the end it taught me so much, and allowed me to free blockages in my life that I would still otherwise be stuck with. If I have a similarly crushing ride here, I will accept it with grace. This will be my thirty-fourth psychedelic experience, and I have always found value in intentionally exploring the regions of the mind most people prefer to ignore. For me, there are no bad trips, only dark trips, and I am no longer afraid to die.
On a final note, we intend to smoke cannabis throughout the acid trip that follows, partly in the hope that it will trigger useful flashbacks to the DMT experience.
