Hello all!
This is my first post, I saw new members can post here so I hope it's okay if I do so; I've been reading this site for nearly 4 years now and have read countless threads, but only actually got around to making an account a few days ago. I'm very grateful for this site and the immense amount of knowledge on it.
Anyways, onto the actual first steps:
Technically, the steps were a few months ago in September, but the smoking technique was terrible (a hand blown glass pipe and a temperature control hot air gun) which went rather poorly. There were still intense effects, but the experience as a whole was terrible.
A few weeks ago, harmalas (sublingual) was mixed with vaped administration (using a modified yocan evolve dual quartz coil on an evic vtc mini). The experiences were positive, with intense and crisp animated visuals behind closed and opened eyes. Much was gained from these 2 experiences, but there was a core unsavory detail: extreme confusion.
This confusion was so deep that it was more forgetting how to think than anything, unsure if anything existed or if anything was true. All logic was gone, and with it most of my emotions and I guess ego too. It was very meditative, floating through the void as a consciousness unattached to any logic, but not entirely pleasant.
The first time it happened, it was chalked up to swallowing the harmalas that hadn't been absorbed under my tongue, around 100mg. This was because the confusion only started about an hour in (dmt administration was a number of small doses over 1:30), in line with harmala's comeup time.
The next time I did less harmalas, and spat out what didnt absorb. There was a very minor amount of confusion, but not much until dmt was administered. In contrast, in previous doses without harmalas I had a much shorter experience (came down in around 5-7 minutes) but no confusion.
I found no record of this happening on this forum or anywhere else, has anyone else experienced this?
On another very beginner-ish note, the dmt was very harsh. In theory, much more harsh than it should have been as all of the naptha was washed with a water + sodium carbonate wash to remove any traces of lye.
How does one know if the dmt is being overheated? The vape I have wont do TC with the yocan coil, and it's all that I can get for now (plus being able to glassblow simple pieces as well). I saw talk of dmt vapour being nearly unnoticeable when vaped correctly, is this an exaggeration or was the fire button perhaps just held down a little too much? At first I was using 15 watts but settled on 11 ish by the end. Airflow is also reasonably limited, I'm not sure what else to compare it too but it is substantially more easy than a vape like a STLTH or a JUUL, but much less (maybe twice as hard to pull?) than a box mod with the airflow vents fully open. If needed I can further modify the coil to allow more airflow if that would help.
As a last ditch effort, I bought some menthol crystals to make it less harsh but I want to make sure that I'm not wasting/burning anything first.
So what do you think, did harmalas cause my confusion? and is precious spice being burned?
Peace and love.
