Fun with low dose DMT, anyone else?

[Ayawasqero]

I prefer to enjoy the spice two ways. First of course is the full "hyperspace" dose. However I've had a great deal of enjoyment with low doses. That is, enough to cause some serious hallucinations, but low enough that you stay grounded. Its a very intense, localized trip, the environment is the main thing to "trip" on, or one can use the closed eye visuals and phosphenes with meditation.

I've experimented with a wide variety of methods and locations, I'll share a few.

In the deep woods, next to a lake, watching the sun set between two mountains, partially obscured by a beautiful complement of clouds. My friend played pink floyd from his battery speakers (crazy diamond, time, etc). I cooked it in some weed in a water pipe, and then just sat, and stared into the sunset (I highly recommend SHADES when doing this, not only does it protect your eyes, it removes the glare, and allows for less obscured, and more complex visuals). I became lost in the clouds, as they began to glow and distort, in strange, but beautifully flowing spirals. It came to a point where I had put myself so deep that I literally thought I was staring at the spinning nebula of an infant galaxy. For a moment, for just a glimpse, I could see the fractal pattern of the universe, as I saw before my eyes this galaxy I was viewing, darkened and accelerated to reveal what appeared to be a schrodinger model atom. Then just a sublty as it had came on, about 7 minutes in I was once again staring at a sunset, still glowing, and pulsing as it crept behind the mountain.

I did it a month later at another lake, in a lawn chair stair at once again, beautiful clouds. I grabbed my shades, grabbed my pipe, and just sat and reveled in the silent, beauty of nature, and was just somehow able to perceive EVERYthing in front of me in perfect contrast and focus, while it still geometricly distorted and glowed.

I've done a few more like this, the deep backcountry is my temple, where I've had all my best journeys.

Another common ritual I hold, is I put a relatively low dose in the bottom of a test tube, then mount it over my ceremonial candle, after it vaporizes, I remove the plug and inhale with a plastic straw. I'll commonly do this at home, closed eyes, with some classical orchestra, or piano playing (try classical piano for grounding music, the rythmn is ecstatic)

I've also tried it while intoxicated a few times. Wouldn't recommend it, my trips tend to be quite.... dizzy


anyone else enjoy the low dose of the spice ?

Personally I like a dose thats going to take me somewhere, but I've had some beautiful times on lower amounts as well. Once me and a friend shared a 30 ish while sitting on a pier infront of an amazing Scottish loch. He hit it first and got all the good stuff and when I got mine, I couldn't feel anything. He sat with his head in his hands laughing away to himself, having the time of his life at a pelican carnival (was how he described it) and I just sat and watched the ripples on the water, before achieving a trance like state... I closed my eyes and could see all the visuals I was meant to get a thousand miles away in the distance, so tiny and faint that I could hardly see them.
It wasn't the full on experience that I enjoy so much, but was different in a sort of mild and tranquil way. The sound of the water trickling and lapping up against the pier was nice, reminded me of one of those mellow Japanese water gardens if I closed my eyes. I've had slightly stronger lower doses that were nice too (its always nice anyway), but I really like to just emerge myself fully into another reality to be honest.

I love the low doses where I can just gently see the curly rainbow totems. I can just lay back with my eyes closed with the most serene of smiles with barely any bodily effects. It's lovely.

I do love wacking a random amount of jungle in my pipe and hitting it like a fool though. But not often. I definately have way more epiphany's when coming off of large doses.

What I like to do with low doses is this.. You put a lot of dmt on the pipe.. You are in a nice place, with nice music etc.. You have 2-3 good friends that like dmt as much as you do.. So you sit in a circle and start taking one good hit each and then giving it to the next one.. Of course not as fast as a joint.. Just when you feel like you want the next hit.. We did this once and we where in that room 1 hour, looking at each other and nobody said a word, though we felt absolute communication.. It's not about low or high doses.. It's about how you do this or that

Low DMT doses have their place when you want to just chill with your girlfriend or feel a bit more energised. They don't leave you overwhelmed and you remember enough of it to be able to compare experiances and common themes.
