^I'm not sure how you can find a high dose of DMT relaxing unless youve done it some hundred odd times. Its more like a comsic smack in the face. What do you call a high dose 50mg, 80mg, 100mg?
Well, physically the tryptamine buzz seems to smack me down and relax me, if I let it. I can't emphasise that last bit enough. As to doses, I have no idea- every dose is of extract on passionflower or similar herb, and i just stuff it in. I guess subjectively I mean smoking to the 'blackout' or unconcious/amnesiac point- that experience is my most positive rebirth and mental rewiring point. I would estimate over 200mg or more, but that couldf be over judging. Either way the peak visions are not really the most important, for me, as is the brain-stop mechanism of DMT.
I don't know, the feeling of release and surrender just feels good and has become "relaxing"- there is no fear, which may be different. I have smoked it hundreds of times....
Before I had a mg scale I remember I just piled doses into my pipe in wishes of breaking through. What dissapointed me though is I never met aliens, or journeyed to foreign lands, even though from judging how much I used on my highest dose, since I have a mg scale now, must have been greater than 150mg. My trips just seem to consist of complete loss of self if I dose high enough and the splintering of my vision in thousands of little prisms and geometric shapes of different colors with different things going on in each one. But never any coherent beings or different places.
It is what it is- subjectivity is the essence of DMT. Alien trips are such an ingrained meme, expecting it and not receiving it is disappointing. I've had these sort of trips, though nothing as cognizant as a Terence Mckenna smoke- which i think he partially invented and induced in himself. As well as entity experiences etc. I've had some totally weird almopst salvia like experiences of being other objects, people, other lives.... Its just not that frightening or dangerous- I would equate DMT flash to rollercoaster riding. Adrenal, intense, uncommon- but relatively safe and impermanent. I guess the difference lies in the after effects of DMT which I think is elicited more strongly from high doses. Small amounts can also settle akathasia after worn off.... For me at least.
