Does DMT open your Airways?

[TransistorBass]

I'm consistently finding that Vaping DMT clears my nose and feels to open my airways, anyone else?

Just had a quick mellow sub-threshold session, and when I use occasionally during Yoga its like I can breathe more freely.

I notice this every time I have DMT.

*Edit* Just to add context to this; pure Freebase vape juice is alkaline and the effect of this is to irritate the lungs and you'll have noticed it seems to loosen your chest and give you a loose cough. Conversely, vape juice made with a bit of Citric Acid taking alkalinity closer to or to Neutral pH does not cause the loose chest or any coughing.
Both these scenarios open my airways.

Can't say more then I definitely had similar experiences. Still smoking what I will quit as next step goal in my out of control addiction career.

Therefore I think it is fair to say that after a DMT session my lungs feel alot less irritated when taking deep breaths! Let me lie and I would say it even lasts up to 1-2½ days afterwards.


Oh I once had on the peak trip the "voice pointing to my right lung wing and said 'i can help you, but not with this'"

Should I worry about it? My last lung volume test and X-ray was good outcome. But at that exact spot I have this irritation feeling when I breath really deep, got to cough by breathing this deep.

Breathing deep feels nice and I get huge euphoric yawns the more I do it on DMT…but also there is bronchial constriction so I can’t say it’s really opening my airways.

Considering the fact that DMT usually increases blood pressure, pulse rate, and heart rate, it would seem unlikely to dilate respiratory airways (especially when inhaled). More likely a perceived effect, not an actual physical effect. Increased constriction of blood vessels is a natural bodily effect of DMT, which will also constrict your lung's ability to exchange oxygen and CO2.

For better breathing and relaxation, it would be wise to sit at resting heart rate and use vasodilators for increased oxygen into the bloodstream, which will also lower blood pressure. Not a bad idea after a vaped or smoalked DMT session.

Harmalas might help to counteract some of the constriction, as well as cannabis which is known to be a bronchial dilator.

Maybe decongestant is a better term then, it literally clears my nose and makes airflow unobstructed for me.

Oh ok now I know what u rly ment.

Just smokes like 5mg yesterday in Glas pipe a bit to hot maybe.

But like 20-40 second later I cough and my mouth was full of fluid out of my bronchial lungs system...

Dunno if this is healthy, but yeah this throws out a big shit of stuck mess

Coughing up fluid from the lungs is not healthy and could be a sign of pulmonary edema, which is an accumulation of trapped fluids in the lungs. It's an indication to stop what your doing and assess.

i noticed my lungs are less sensitive after i take my bp meds (vasodilators) not just with dmt but cannabis vapor also.
