hello,
SWIM (is this necessary? -- let me just say everything I say here is a fictitious fantasy) has tried smoking freebase for the first (and second) time with a GVG, over the course of the last couple weeks. I found the effects very fascinating and revealing but I did not break through (which is a state I am curious to be in).
After making myself 400mg of freebase via Noman's tek a friend and I decided to try it out for the first time. The extraction was very smooth and most of the pulls were pure white (a couple pulls had a barely noticeable tint of yellow in it). We each smoked about 30mg from the GVG and sat back to take in the experience. My friend tripped a lot harder then I did, seeing everything dissolve into fractals or otherwise distort in appearance in a dramatic fashion. I felt as though I was simply on a very good, but short, acid trip. Furniture were breathing, and the painting on the wall was melting into itself like a swirling pool of liquid paint. I enjoyed it, but it was not what I expected from 30mg which I have heard was a breakthrough dose.
I thought perhaps I was trying too hard to "break through" and I simply needed a more meditative mindset and a private setting. I also made a note to myself to drink chamomile tea before smoking next time -- as the smoke was very harsh, making it difficult to take large hits.
I waited a couple days to try it again. This time I smoked 40mg from the GVG. The experience was much more intense. I saw three dimensional fractals everywhere, which were evolving in accordance with the music I was listening to, like a 3D music visualizer. The ceiling was folding into itself into a complex fractal of its own while slowly inching towards (but never reaching) me. I did not break through -- but I had an ominous feeling that something was observing me and studying me. Not in a menacing way, but as if it was evaluating my intentions and capabilities. I felt as though the drug itself was alive and interacting with me (I have never gotten this with acid). Then suddenly I felt like I was about to be yanked into a very bizarre plane of reality. Startled, I pulled back, and I felt as though the entity was saying "ok. ok. we'll go at your own pace." (I did not physically hear it - it was more of an inner monologue that was strangely external). I believe I may have gotten very close to breaking through - but again I needed a better mindset. I am considering smoking a little bit of harmalas before trying it the next time, as I have heard it makes the upward ramp of the trip slower and more comfortable (while extending the length of the trip). I would like to hear the opinions of the dmt-nexus community on this.
Also, I am under the impression from the forums that I am smoking fairly large doses. My friend who smoked with me the first time seemed to have a stronger experience then I had with the same dose. Could it be that I am one of those "hard headed" people that simply needs a slightly greater dose?

). Also dosage is one of the more mysterious and complicated issues regarding DMT. It seems completely unknown as to why some people need some size dosages and some people need others to get to the same level, other than to say I wouldn't be surprised if your "tolerances" were swapped on a different day or even different time of day.
