Okay, having had little luck enjoying smoking the stuff, my friend has been trying to find a good oral dose. He has been scared off smoking by one particular unpleasant experience (there is a report here somewhere called 'humbling'), and didn't want to be scared off the anahuasca by having too high a dose too soon. Most people suggest starting with about 100mg and upping the dose if that isn't enough. My friend was going to start with 50, but then read a report where a guy had 50mg and said it was way too intense (I think on erowid), so my friend decided to start as low as 30mg. He had not smoked any in at least a couple of months.
He boiled up three grams of rue (he had tried this a week or so earlier and found this to be quite intoxicating by itself), and twenty minutes later had 30mg freebase DMT in a capsule. In about half an hour after the spice, he was tripping. It wasn't overly intense, but he could see shadowy faces and stuff and he was really optimistic about upping the dose.
Next time he tried 52mg. Same amount of rue. Same time delay before spicing up. It took a little longer to kick in this time, say 45min. The visuals were quite a lot more complex, but still lacked a certain presence. They were very three-dimentional, but were not quite as bright as what he had seen when he smoked it. He thought upping the dose again would be good.
This time he took 75mg and expected a lot. On the second time (52mg) he had thrown up (not a purge type spew), and he wanted to avoid this because he thought he might lose some DMT, especially if he threw up really early due to the high dose in his stomach. He had found the last time that he was least nauseous when he was lying down with a relaxed stomach (last time he had spewed when he got up to go to the toilet to piss), so this time he spent the first 45 min or so lying down and not moving much. It took AGES to kick in, like an hour and 45 min or so. This may be because it was being absorbed slowly due to not moving around. The thing is, that this time the visions never took on quite the grandeur that they did last time. Instead of getting greater visions, he had lesser visions. The whole trip seemed a little less profound.
He is not sure if there is a tolerance thing with oral DMT. These three trips were within the space of a fortnight, and the mundane trip he had the third time kinda reminded him of a mushie trip if he has more than one about every two months or so. Or perhaps something was just a bit weird on this occasion. Maybe the length of time it took for the DMT to absorb lessened the effect. It DID last for quite a while when it got going.
The question is, should he try 100mg in a couple of days? Or should he try 75mg again in a couple of days in case the last one was an anomoly? Or should he wait two weeks and do 75mg again to see what the 75mg is like on 'fresh' tolerance?
Any advice would be great.
