I underestimated...it has to be 300+ with only one TRUE breakthrough (by breakthrough, I mean I experienced/accepted death and becoming whole).  I think people label breakthroughs too loosely while I see what one calls a breakthrough as just a DMT trip.  I have had countless numbers of face to face entity contact and have learned a lot from sucha  small amount of time using this entheogen.  Another oddity about my experiences is that, as of today I had my second Open Eyed experience - I now know the importance of these kinds of experiences (My monitor was lifted and spun in front of me...whoa!)  I now anticipate having more of these incredible open eyed trips as they defy everything I have been taught.

  You are 100% correct about my smoking method, most of those 300 were done ontop of a mesh screen and with the lighter directly to the spice.  I have since then got a GVG, but today actually, I got an Eclipse Vape which provided me with quite the experience; it is easier to control how much heat you give it, in my humble opinion.  It should get more recognition on here.

To answer your question on doseage...I smoke 100mg+, usually 160 is the hot spot for me.  I have questioned why the doseage is so much higher than others but haven't come to a conclusion yet.  Last night I gave rectal administration a go, 180mg initially then another 80mg 10-15mins later.  A 260mg rectal experience ranks near the top of the intensity scale compared to my other smoked/vaped trips.  It has left quite a grin on my face ever since.
