First steps towards hyperspace

[woody]

Hi all,

I had my first hits of spice last night. This was my first extraction so I only wanted to try a small dose, just to make sure that it was pure/safe before taking a larger hit so that I can exclude that from any preflight anxiety I may (definitely) have.

I loaded my gvg with 15mg and got a really nice cloud of vapour from it. I have been practising my technique with weed so I've got it nailed now. I took the cloud in and it was nice and smooth, almost sweet tasting. I didn't manage to hold it in as long as I would have liked but took another much lighter hit. The effects were very pleasant, feelings of euphoria, the room took on a vibrancy and brightness, it reminded me very much of a mushroom experience. Closed eyes I saw nice patterns slowly moving around kaleidoscope fashion, not too bright but very nice feelings.

It all only lasted for about 3-5 mins so I tried again with a little more, this time managing to hold it in longer, this time it came on a bit quicker which caught me a little off guard. There was less euphoria which I automatically took as an early lesson not to do it just for that reason! This time my closed eyes visuals were more intense and initially took on the patterns of my rug and ceiling and then morphed into very intricate patterns swirling above me with what seemed like a fixed point in the distance coming down towards me and then drifting off again before repeating. The fixed point was an extremely intricate pattern completely distinct from the rest and I did have a sensation of being observed by it. Where as the first hits patterns were more floaty and flowery the second's seemed to have a more serious vibe.

Anyway, the point of this was to prepare me for my breakthrough attempts. Although I know nothing can really prepare one, it has been useful to experience the 'quickness' of it and I think that it will help me be a little bit more mentally prepared. Overall I felt positive about it and had a nice afterglow for the rest of the evening. I think I will probably continue by incrementally increasing the dose until I reach the sweet spot as with the gvg I think I can get it all in in one or two hits.

Sounds like a nice welcome to hyperspace. You are wise to take caution with how often you travel, but remain open to experimentation. The way I look at it, it is somewhat random that you did or did not receive euphoria on either occasion. Either one could have easily have played out quite differently. I suppose a tip I might give would be that euphoria is not necessarily a prerequisite for a good experience. It seems to be to some extent optional. Sometimes it hits right away, sometimes at the end, and other times not at all. There are insanely beautiful and meaningful things that can be shown to you in the absence of euphoria. It is of course a nice bonus to receive it however, a solid indicator that everything is in fact going well.

woody,

Thank you so much for sharing this, . What a wonderful way to dip your toes into the DMT seas. So smart. Not only do you extract your own, but you procure a GVG and master the vaping technique learning curve with that using weed, then you try low dosing with a plan of incrementally moving upwards searching for a sweet spot and/or breakthrough. Bravo!

Your description of the effects sure reminded me of low to mid level dosing - patterns, movement, sense of being observed. DMT is a most amazing molecule . The rabbit hole goes very deep indeed. I hope you will keep us posted.
