first experience last night..

[great_blue]

So after a lot of studying, preparing and waiting for the right night i decided to take the plunge. more so just got my feet wet as opposed to diving in head first. I wanted to familiarize myself with the feeling first.. earlier that day i had weighed out somewhere between 10-15mg.. a lighter dose.. and i wanted to be sure i wasnt sensitive to it like my extreme sensitivity to lsd and psilocybin mushrooms. i had my gvg prepared, 6 screens on the bottom with a copper chore disc on top. I put the spice in and applied some heat to melt it into the copper mesh and waited til around 10:30 that night.

we went out back, (i had my gf with me as a sitter and there are about 2 acres behind my house with a small field and some woods) laid out my blanket, had water, candle about 6 feet off, burned some sage around my blast off area and tried meditating but was too damn anxious. the ground was slightly uneven so it was hard for me to sit in a comfortable position for too long.. enough was enough..

I took my lighter and must not have applied enough heat because i didnt get anything.. i am a seasoned cannabis smoker so it only took a second to figure that out.. went at it once more and this time watched the entire pipe fill with a thick cloud of vapor.. i took it all in and held it for at least 15 seconds, only exhaling after i felt the effects coming on as i was laying down with my eyes closed. (and no bad taste whatsoever). and right when this was happening i told myself, "its ok, you'll be back soon."

it was the strangest feeling ive ever had, strange but yet almost familiar.. it first filled my body with a warm tingly feeling, almost numbing.. i remembered what i believe was a terence mckenna quote, saying "just breathe through it." and breathe through it i did... this alien feeling.. i feel i was at a threshold, just almost losing feeling of my whole body.. being completely immersed in this experience in my head. the CEV's were just so bizarre, yet so fleeting.. as all this was happening i was taking very slow deep breaths and trying to project love onto the bizarre patterns that got more and more intense because it was beginning to startle me a little.. i remember doing so to stay level and also because i didnt like the looks of some of the shapes..

i should of explained to my gf a little more what being a sitter required for this because as i was breathing, she thought i was having a hard time and kept rubbing my shoulder and part of my chest in trying to comfort me, but ended up being more invasive and distractive than anything. i think it kept me more grounded and i couldve gone a little further had that not happened..

but the CEV's we pretty astonishing.. ever morphing complex patterns against a black backdrop that just got more and more in my face until it started wearing off.. the whole thing mustve lasted only two minutes.

I have to say tho, if it wasnt for all the studying, preparing and time spent on the Nexus, this could have gone a lot differently and i thank you all so much for that.. i plan on going a little deeper next time..

safe travels..

Hi great_blue,

Welcome to the Nexus. Very impressive introduction. I personally could not have recommended a better introduction, other than maybe briefing your gf a bit more on what to expect how to not interrupt unless your reaction is specifically asking for help. Anyway, perfect. Great intro., "handshake" dose, great set and setting, awesome prep - I love that you used the GVG and got no taste - perfect vaporization.

Your description of your experience was pure DMT, especially the feelings you described. Since you've done your research, I'll just remind you that surrender is the best way with DMT. I think you are in for quite some interesting visions coming up.

By the way, did you extract yourself? How did it go? Which tek? Nice yield? I tried 3 times before I found one that worked well enough and give a nice white yield.

Again welcome - look forward to seeing you around.

hey Pandora, thanks for stopping by..
I'm glad you enjoyed my post! as with any new substance, i try to be as careful and thorough as possible.. and i love how you described it. a "handshake dose." just perfect . I knew if i was going to introduce myself with a new substance i have to do it right, all the way.. in my eyes the gvg was the way to go..

I feel i wasnt too far off from a very intense experience.. this stuff has got me in complete awe.. i cant even imagine where this stuff can take me.. but i will find out soon enough..

and to answer your question about the extraction, no i did not im afraid :? i was at a festival july 4th weekend and after spending the greater portion of the year reading books, experience reports, precautions and even attempting to locate some previously, my friend (a real other person haha) that i had talked a lot about the spice with who had done it before, found me at the festival and told me he found someone had brought some.. needless to say, i searched out the guy and purchased some.. it looked quality tho.. pale yellow crystals.. i know this is frowned upon but after all my inquiry and research, i couldnt pass up the opportunity when the spice and i had gathered in the same place..

but let me say thank you for the warm welcome Pandora! I do in fact look forward to my first extraction as i already have most of the materials.. safe travels, cheers!

brah! SWIM just did his first voyage on a mild dose last night as well. LOL at the similarities... gf wasn't with him for the first even though she was suppose to be. SWIM was worried that her anxiety would bring anxiety within himself and reflect in the voyage. 2nd attempt tonight and maybe try to breakthru on 3rd... or idk just go for perhaps.

 

[great_blue]

ahh yes, the good vibes are a must! looks like we share the same blast off date as well! good luck on your next attempts, let us know how it goes!

SWIM use to explore Hyperspace on his own w/o sitter. SWIM doesn't feel right with his wife beside. It's so strange though i love her around all the time, except when SWIM is immersed into other realms. SWIM did some sub breaktrough with his wife but when SWIM takes longer journeys with Harmalas and DMT, SWIM think it's boring for someone to be around a Hyperspace traveler.
