Rising Star
Hi, been lurking for a bit, decided to finally make an account because I could use some advice.
I'm what I like to think of as an experienced psychonaut. I've dosed on plenty of LSD and mushrooms but until recently never met anyone who spoke about dmt, never mind offered me any. That's changed in the last year and I've had a few opportunities to try it. First one was new years eve at a Phish concert. I was already dosed pretty heavily and the deems were offered spur of the moment by somebody I barely knew. Because I was already tripping I took a small hit to satisfy the person who offered it, and barely noticed any effect. Very uneventful first time, but I also didn't know what I was missing out on, so I didn't think much of it.
Second encounter was a few months later, at Wanee music festival. A newly acquired friend had brought a bunch of dmt to sell and trade at the shows. He offered me a hit and decided to have a go. He packed some on top of some MJ and told me to hit it as hard as I could. This time the effects were noticeable, but hardly the "blasting off" he was talking about, more along the lines of a mild shroom trip. I thought it was a nice experience, but smoking this powder to trip for 15 minutes didn't seem worthwhile, so again, I didn't think much of it.
Then recently a friend returned a book I had lent him entitled "Tripping". I hadn't read it years so I started flipping through the pages and landed on an interview with terence mckenna. I don't think I need to tell anyone on this forum what he had to say on the subject :lol:. So I read the interview, starting reading up online and decided that this was something I really wanted to do. I called up my friend from the festival and made arrangements to get a personal stash of the stuff. a few (anxious) weeks later, he hooked me up with .25g. At this point I had spent a good amount of time reading up on the subject and knew about not exposing it to direct flame and to avoid bongs and bubblers to prevent recrystallization. I sprinkled about a 1/5 of the quarter gram on a bed of neutral ash, in my bubbler, but without water. I was careful not to touch the flame to the bowl and took a pretty big hit. Upon trying to hold it in, I realized it was far too harsh and was forced to exhale while coughing. I could not manage a second hit. I was pretty anxious with anticipation and I felt my body become heavy. I closed my eyes and braced myself for what I expected to be a life changing experience. The visuals were fairly impressive. The kaleidoscopic patterns were more detailed than on my usual trips. However, it did not feel like the cosmic rug had been pulled out from under me. I had to concentrate on keeping my eyes closed, because I felt that opening my eyes would break the spell and ruin the show of patterns I was experiencing. A few minutes later the visuals began to subside, I opened my eyes and within another minute felt back at baseline. I knew pretty much immediately that either I did not break through, or Terance McKenna was full of shit. So I let a day pass, and last night (6 hours ago) I had another go. Somehow, I managed to have a weaker experience than the one before. Still not satisfied, I waited 90 minutes and prepared to try again. This time, I tried using a different pipe. Its a long J shaped pipe that fits a 18mm bowl at the low end of the "J" and a mouthpiece at the top of it. I dropped a good amount of what I had left into the bottom curve, intent on breaking through, even if it took the rest of my supply. unfortunately it was a huge waste because the glass was too thick, and by the time the glass was hot enough, I had already wasted my first inhale and any chance of breaking through. Now there's just amber, semi recrystallized gunk in the pipe with now way to get it out, so thats as good as wasted...
Which leads us to right now. I have (if I'm lucky) another 50mg. its been about 2 hours since my last failed attempt and I reallly want to break through already. I've devised a "the machine" type pipe and am contemplating using the last of the spice on a final attempt- all or nothing. It's gonna be hard to land any more deemsters after this, I'm broke as a joke, and don't have a reliable place where I would attempt extracting my own.
Sorry about the long ass, rambling post but if you have any incite please reply!
Thanks guys, peace!
