I have no idea why anyone would ever feel the need to combine 5-MeO-DMT with another psychoactive substance.
Well, if there is ever a 'need' to combine anything can be argued but I too have combined with 5-MeO-DMT with ketamine... not sure if that was to try and numb the nose a bit or dissociate from the stinging feeling, or because I was just very used to snorting ketamine at the time and it made sense to just continue my session when taking the 5-MeO-DMT, or if I had other motives... but it was quite complementary.
A reason why I feel there is benefit in combining these two drugs is that drugs like 5-MeO-DMT and DPT can really pack a punch and can be jarring in a way that can be physically felt. Drugs like ketamine are very physically dissociative (at least the S isomer) and help make it much more comfortable without really removing you from the experience.
Instead it adds to it because it helps create a mindspace consisting mostly of an illuminated void (5-MeO-DMT does this on its own), but it makes it extra swirly like it is all lava lamp plasma convection streams.
Drugs that amplify the positive effects of other drugs while reducing the negatives are remembered as very worthwhile synergy in my book. But it can be pretty mindblowing, taking a moment to be complete baffled - it is best to at least sit down or better yet lie down for it.
Yes 5-MeO-DMT is extreme on its own so you may very well need to reduce your dose a bit as with most things that synergize.
For me, vaporizing or smoking about 11 or 12 mg has always been the most direct way to mind, earth and consciousness shattering intensity. I hold a deep love and respect for the substance. Always felt frightened before doing it and always felt amazed and thankful afterwards. Haven't done it in years and I fear that the stuff I have lying around may have degraded to the point of not even active anymore, but I wouldn't mind dabbling in some 5-MeO-adventures again when the time comes. Awesome stuff, with a very pronounced accent on AWE.
Definitely, I know what you mean. I am preparing IM solutions of 5-MeO-DMT and DMT right now and the odors of them really remind me of the immense respect these substances deserve, the ritualistic peace it is best to start with (if you want to reap what you sow)...
Hopefully 5-MeO-DMT does not kick my ass too much if I want to do a 1 mg trial.
In The Netherlands, ascorbic acid should be available at pretty much every consumer room or any other facility that opiate users frequent. Just invent some story about shooting up opiates and I can't imagine why they wouldn't supply you with some. Maybe even at the right pharmacy.
Never heard of 'consumer rooms', is that an awkward translation google translate came up with? You can mention Dutch words if you want to.
I used the citric acid now like I planned, maybe in the future I will use ascorbic acid.
The synthetic DMT that I just dissolved seems to have kept well in freeze-compartment storage, probably because it is really a rock/chunk like I have seen of amphetamine or coke years ago and/or on tv. Outer layer seems to have oxidized a little bit, but hopefully the inside is still okay.

By the way I used the same amount of citric acid for 5-MeO-DMT, it did not really want to dissolve when I added less than 50% by mass (so 50 mg citric acid for 100 mg 5-MeO-DMT).
For DMT itself it was even more, like 120-125 mg citric acid for 200 mg DMT.

edit:
WTF! 1.5 mg of I.M. 5-MeO-DMT was physically overwhelming the first 8 or so minutes. Hard to explain how but it was not really fear or panic, just this heavy feeling of it being too much. Otherwise it was fine mentally, although I was not really looking forward to a possible 1-1.5 hours of that.
The framerate really went up and everything looked more visually augmented and defined in an awesome way. It had a bit of a menacing feeling.
Started with ringing ears, I never had that from DMT or 5-MeO-DMT before, just with I.M. ketamine - might be pharmacokinetics related?
After the initial unpleasantries for 40-45 minutes or so a pretty blissful feeling remained that made me want to roll back my eyes mildly.
I'm not sure if I can learn to tolerate the comeup phase, and I doubt it is a useful addition to mix with DMT either. Maybe something like MXE can make it more comfortable and I could stagger the dose. Man, it's pretty hard or impractical to measure 0.05 ml amounts.
It didn't sting at first but after 10-15 minutes even this 0.15 ml made me a bit sore. Do I need to buffer it?
