Thank you both for the welcome!

mad banshee,

  I'm comforted abd I bit less self conscious knowing I'm not alone with using so much in such a short amount of time..  it certainly does get old quick and an now really enjoying the lower dose explorations, now that im passed doing the heroic mind melting doses I'm amazed at how far one can go with a good setting. 

terrance,

  I like to do dmt around the peak of the fungus, I'm a huge g fan of cev's and really enjoy the way these two synch together.  the setting I've recently been using is my living room, in which I have about 30 plants, I'm a huge rock geek so I've put a lot of rocks, agates, feathers and other things from nature to break up the linear lines of the house and furniture. And of course lots of tea candles   they cast some cool shadows from behind the plants.  I think the key for me is the music and the sound system I have setup.  shulman seems to be my favorite artist at the moment, I find the music to generate some very interesting visuals.  I suppose it all depends on the particular trip and mood but I wouldn't say I go for higher dose, I only smoke changa now so I'm not sure about the dosage, I just smoke until I'm where I want to be and then enjoy the show.  I feel the same way you do though about blasting off from baseline, its very intimidating to me now as well.

I know when im coming down off the fungus trip I want to come back and find it a good time to reflect on what I may have seen/experienced and begin integrating.  I don't like that feeling of "i need more".   I now feel each experience is fulfilling I guess.  

Thank you both for the response, it feels wonderful to have other experienced travelers to talk to about these things, im not sure why I waited so long to join here!
