Hey folks. I’m a new member here so hope I’ve posted in the right place.
I’d really love your help and opinion on something.
Whilst I’ve had some fantastic ayahuasca experiences before in South America, I had my first dmt (in theory) experience this past weekend. I’ve done a lot of reading and research into DMT before finally taking the plunge, and I’m not totally convinced what I took was dmt. I’d be eager for peoples thoughts on the below.
This product had been smoked by my friend and his friends on previous occasions, however it was getting quite old, 6 months maybe. It was different in appearance to what I’d read about. It was similar to a dull reddish brown, and was dry like a dirt or sand.
Upon my friends advice, we set the vape up with 60mg. After hitting it, the effects came pretty rapid (alike dmt). My vision became crowded with bright colours and fractals. It was visually wild. Pretty fantastic. My friend advises I was incommunicable for about 8-10 mins. Following that I could interact a bit but not much. I was interacting again after aboht 20 or so mins.
However about 40 mins later, I was still a bit ‘scattered’. This ‘scatteredness’ then slowly decreased over the next 24 hours. My memory lacked a kind of continuity that we all experience in day to day life. It was almost as if my memory, and to some extent my vision, occurred in blocks or intervals, as opposed to just a continuum. It returned to normal the following evening. I had thought that dmt was totally metabolised in around 45 mins by the body. Some effects certainly lasted to the next day. It was a little scary tbh. My first and ongoing anxious thought was ‘did I break something [in my brain’. Oddly, my friend didn’t have these experiences. He just felt as if he should have after smoking dmt.
By way of experience, many of the staple experiences of dmt didn’t occur. No beings, no gratitude, no sense of oneness with the universe, etc. I certainly remember these experiences from ayahuasca, so they have recognisable familiarity to me. It also made my tongue numb, and this numbness was still on and off the next day.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Is there some other or additional compound that could have possibly been in the product that’s congruent with this description?
Really trying to make whatever sense of it I can, as I wouldn’t want to take the plunge again until I fully understand it.
