Not specifically, but it might be. Regardless if DMT is involved or not, its still a psychedelic death/rebirth experience.
 
birth is the end of the most intense developmental period of one's life. It is the death of the embryo.

^Either way (I can't compare though) the experience is still so far removed from life that one would think that a mind more stubborn would resist a bit more fiercely....I don't think much IN REAL LIFE that can prepare your for tripping.

Mmmmmm to a degree i'd say there's some truth in that.......though i'd argue that life itself ( the experience of well, experiencing if you will?) can prepare you for it. This by no means a sure thing however.

It's been said before and i'll repeat it here, it really does come down to set and setting. That is not just the mind state and place you are in that particular point in time when you trip, but where you are as a person as well.

I found at least that the person who i had become when i first tried acid was, i guess, ready to take that step. And i'm not sure how ready the say, 20 me would have been. Course' this is all entirely subjective based on my personal life experiences.

....wow, that was quite a waffle on! :)
 
I started using psychedelics when I was about 14 which was way to young.My first psychedelic was MGS.When they hit I thought I was going to die, contemplated calling an ambulance.Decided to except the out come and laid down.Thought about everything going on with me, changed a lot about myself through a simple shift in perspective.Not exactly profound now a days I would consider myself a recreational user.
 
My first trip was when I was in 7th grade (I was barely 13) and being the naive kid I was, aquired 3.5g of some blue azures (very very very potent mushrooms from BC) and had complete ego death having no idea what the mushrooms would even do, since at that time all i have tried was cannabis. I had no idea what i was getting into and it was a very intense experience but all in all positive, btu took awhile to integrate. I sort of felt like i was taken apart and put back together as a better person. I didnt mess with psychadelics for about a year but have since enjoyed LSD very much so. I am now almost 19 and at college and have tried/use psychedelics regularly.

Waffle away brother!! :) You'll detect quite a bit of waffling goign on round here... I think possibly puberty is not the best time, which is when I tried- I do feel like I've got little choice but keep integrating these experiences as they are a lot of what I've become used to. Either pre-puberty or after age 20 seems best really. I don't regret my choice, but neither do I neccesairly advicate it. I have spoken to people who began eating mushrooms at age 3-4 (indeed Maria Sabina ate mushrooms when she was six) and they are all stable, very psychedelic in outlook, but calm and content people.

Interesting... Death is certain life is not and all that.... I am trying to integrate death into my life moreso these days, simply because its the only thing I know for sure WILL happen. Gonna be a hell of a ride....

Ain't that the truth, Daddio =D

If memory serves, LSD at 17 - now 52 %)
 
Mescaline at 15, then at 18, I did LSD for 30 days in a row. Wow, I still remember that ride!
 
At 16. Magic Mushies in Amsterdam. I had an awesome time. It was both a happy, colourful trip and deeply introspective during the latter stages of it. One of the best trips I've ever had...I had sort of wished I had waited a bit longer, but cmon...shrooms, amsterdam. How could I pass it up?

I don't think MDMA is strecthing it at all. It can be very "psychedelic" in its own meagre little way.

It can be, but for many people it isn't. Many people are reluctant to classify mdma as a "psychedelic". The same isn't so about lsd, dmt, psilocybin and the rest of what comes to mind when you or I hear the word "psychedelic". That's all I meant.
I don't really feel cannabis is all that psychedelic either, it certainly can be like mdma, and it has been for me in the past, but drugs labeled "psychedelic" should be the ones which consistantly produce psychedelic experiences in damn near everyone who uses them. Mdma and cannabis just aren't those drugs IMO.
