Thank y'all all for the feedback, it really does help me, and anyone with questions themselves. DMT is vast and confusing, and any kind of clarity we can get is insightful.

I suppose when I was "researching" DMT I had taken in some preconceived ideas about it for sure. I've had experience with LSD, and pscylocibin before, so I suppose I was basing DMT on those experiences as well. Boy was I wrong. It's nothing like them, I don't think anything can prepare you for DMT. After thinking about my first experience with it, it almost seems to be a forced OBE, or forced astral projection. I'm still trying to figure it out though lol I'm sure I never will though

I will try to reply to all of y'all as best I can to keep this conversation alive, as I do not have many other people to share it with, and I am the first of my circle to experience it. So even sharing with my friends is difficult since they can't relate.

Again thank you everybody for the feedback, it truly helps. This forum is a special place
