First steps taken, who is the plastic witch?

[Tenchi]

So... I just had my first trip on DMT, inhaled through the GVG

First things first, 2 hours ago I tried vaporizing 25mgs, but something must've been wrong with my technique, I only inhaled a lot of vapor on the third toke, and thus only got mild CEVs.
The good stuff is that it cleared my anxiety and nervousness I'd had all the time. Chatted a while with a friend and decided to give it another go 2 hours later.

I wanted silence and darkness for my first trip, so I had pulled the curtains almost all the way down, just enough light so that I could see the GVG and my lighter. I had pre-melted 25 mgs into the volcano pad mesh. Decided to this time try to heat the ceramic diffuser for a few seconds before trying to inhale.

All starts out good, but a few seconds after I start inhaling, my arclighter starts to fizzle. I continue to inhale slower while shaking it to make it work again, and after a few seconds, it splurts back to life. And I keep going until my lungs feel like bursting, then held it in.

What happened next was... strange... My entire room seemed to turn into black and white plastic, everything had very sharp and "evil" edges all of a sudden. I look at my plastic legs, and realize they have molten together with my plastic bed. Then my ears started ringing with a "witch's laughter" (unsure if it was imagined or a hallucination), getting louder and louder. At the same pace I started becoming really anxious. I thought "This is something I can handle, just relax, lay back, and breethe in deep".

It did little to ease my anxiety. To get the witch laughter to stop I thought "I need sound NOW or else I'll go insane!" Rushing up as good as I could I went over to my PC, turned on winamp and the first song that came up.
It didn't ease the anxiety, but I still went back to my bed, sat down, and tried to make sense out of everything... Didn't come to any conclusion about anything. Aside from, when coming down a minuter or two later, my heart beting like crazy, I realized I was very happy to be alive.

Now I do not intend to do anymore trips tonight, my lungs hurt a bit. Perhaps meditate on the matter and see what answers I can get...

I do intend to try DMT again, I really want to know "what the hell was that actually", however, conquering that fear and anxiety I was having seems like step one... or two... getting my technique down is probably the other.

A final thanks to all who've helped me, knowingly and unknowingly to get this far =)

So, anyone else had a visit from the plastic witch?

Hello Tenchi,
Don't be afraid, the sounds you were hearing weren't evil. They're just withing the spectrum of possible sounds. Sometimes it makes the "witch" sound, sometimes it sounds a bit more likee birds. It's a good sign, because it means that you've inhaled a decent amount of vapor!
You sound like the experience took you by surprise. The plastic aesthetic is also very common...i would perhaps describe it more like polymer clay.

Next time, close your eyes in a dark room. This way, you can concentrate fully on the experiencen without getting confused by too much "overlay"...

Good luck and peace

Close them eye's!! Thats where all the magic happens. Eyes open and hyperspace starting to lay over reality id just to confusing imo.

As obli said, dark room, eyes closed with silence is a good way to begin explorations. And that "WTF just happened" feeling/thought, I get it all the time.

You could try and vape a small bit first, just enough to get your feet wet, say 10mg or so, after like 20-30min later vape the 20-25mg. I find this works good with the anxiety, just a little reminder that all will be ok if you show respect.

No witch visit here, but a ringing sound is always very welcomed

 

[Tenchi]

Thank you for the replies, cleared out a few questions. I'll be sure to make another visit later this week, and this time close the eyes.

And yeah, that laughter did indeed start out as a ringing sound, might've just been me gotten frightened by the experience and turning it to a laughter in my head.

Ah, and, the body feeling like when on nitrous, I'm guessing that's also fairly normal.

Ah, and, the body feeling like when on nitrous

That has also been my first association!!
I feel a good dose of nitrous can prepare you somewhat for the bodyload of a low to medium dose experience...
