Hi everyone! This is kind of new to me!

[Sil]

How's it going everyone?? My name is Sil and I've been browsing these forums and this site off and on for the past couple of weeks and I gotta say there's a lot of great stuff on here! So many awesome experiences and encounters and also stories of adventures in extraction of this awesome discovery!

I figured I'd share my story of my first experience as I was recently introduced to this medicine a couple weeks ago give or take and let me tell you what, I was seriously blown away by what happened!

How everything all came to be, I was casually talking with a buddy of mine one day about how I had seen a documentary about DMT and how since I had heard the stories about what it does, how very curious I was to try this substance and how awesome it would be to get my hands on some if I had ever gotten the chance! He laughed and looked at me and said "Oh really? Well, maybe I'll surprise you one day!" Of course, at this point, I had heard how difficult it can be for one to obtain this magical substance and so when he threw that comment out, I thought nothing of it. A few days passed, I got a call on my phone from my buddy saying he had a surprise for me and I should come visit!

So curious, not remembering our conversation before, I hurried over, eager to see this "surprise" that he had just made. Once I got there, he presented me with these small, off-whitish powdery crystals. Having no experience with this before, and with my experience with other things, I shook my head and held up my hand and said "No dude, I don't do any of the crazy crap, especially that meth crap." He laughed and shook his head and handed me the crystals again saying "No dude, no. Trust me. Remember what we talked about before? Well here you go" Baffled and shocked, I looked up at him in astonishment. "This is....it? Wow, holy cow!"

So we sat down and he proceeded to put a piece of small cannabis matter and then a healthy amount of these "crystals" all over the top of it, and handed me the pipe and lighter. I shrugged, and said "Hm, okay, here goes nothing!" and let her rip.

The first notable thing I remember is this "heavy" feeling in my lungs once it hit. Strange, I thought, but I ignored it and it quickly passed. But when it passed, it was quickly followed by an almost "assault" of geometric images of unimaginable clarity and color. I took several deep breaths, each getting heavier and heavier. With each breath, it felt as if it set in more and more until finally, I came to be in this very "light" feeling. And then it felt as if something was pulling me into another plane of existence if that makes any sense? I remember at that point I became very scared and quickly turned around and with both of my 2nd selfs' hands is the only way I can describe it, I grabbed onto a fence or cage or awning of some kind and held on for dear life! It was almost like a tornado trying to suck up someone who is holding on too tight? Terrified, I refused to let go, saying "no no no no no...." and then I remember this... I can't even call it a voice but thats what it seemed like and it very calmy and casually said "What are you doing? Just let go...."

I remember that my eyes, or my 2nd selfs' eyes or whatever it was, they shut very tight, tears streaming and shook my head back and forth quickly saying "no, no... I refuse to leave those I love and care about. I cannot leave them behind. not yet." And then just as quickly as everything began, it quickly began to fade. After a few minutes of getting my composure back and making sure I was fully "back", I looked at my friend dead in the eyes and said "Dude.... THANK YOU. I was so wrong about everything. Everything ever. So wrong." I went into the experience like I was just going to be doing LSD or mushrooms again. Oh no. No no no no no. I was very quickly educated about what this substance has the potential to do. After awhile of sobering up and making sure I was safe to drive, I left my buddies house and went up to my girlfriends' house for the remainder of the weekend, where we both proceeded to breakthrough again. Her experience can only be described by her, but during my turn again, when she was taking a shower one day, I took another healthy dose and let me tell you, that flighty, panic-type feeling I will never get used to! I was launched into a plethora of geometry again, and when I came to, I remember I was looking at the pine tree across the parking lot and something about it just communicated everything to me.

Life just is. Just be.

Ever since, I have not run into anymore of this tool and have begun considering extraction for my own personal use and development. These experiences raised so many questions and so many possibilities! I want to learn more about this "other world" or whatever it is. I Want to know its secrets and what it can teach me. I have been working to train my mind to "let go" so to speak but it is easier said than actually done. Any tips on that part?

Thanks for having me guys and gals! Hope to talk to you all more soon!

I apologize if my story was a little long-winded.

Welcome to the nexus, Sil. Just curious, did your friend extract the crystals himself?

If you're going to extract yourself, I highly recommend spending as much time as you possibly can browsing the extraction forums on this site. Also, read through the extraction teks in the Wiki and determine which one you think you will be better at. I recommend going through this fairly extensive research phase before you even begin gathering materials, let alone start the extraction process. Absorb all the info, take notes if you have to. It'll make things much smoother once you finally get to that point.

Concerning "letting go", I still have that problem myself sometimes, so hopefully another member will chime in and give you some tips. I can tell you, however, that there will be times where it takes you so fast that you don't even have time to fight it anyways.

Oh, one more thing, never underestimate the power of DMT.

Never.

Sil,

Welcome to the Nexus. That was quite an introduction . . . thank you. If it is not too greedy for me to ask for more, I wonder if you might be willing to share even more about yourself . . . perhaps your pursuits or interests . . . other entheogen use (you mentioned LSD & mushrooms) and what you got out of it .. .

I would encourage you to check out the links in the upper right hand corner. Health & Safety in particular. Many here will say and I feel they are right, that DMT offers more questions than answers . . . .

Self-extraction is always best. In my realm, and my personal way of doing things everything about your introduction to the spice was slightly sketch. At least you had seen the movie . . . . Phew. . . anyway, you are here and a very warm WELCOME to you.

Moving forward, . . . I would encourage you to take the steps to begin extracting for yourself . . . .this way you know the source, how it was made, who did what to it when, how clean it is, etc. This can go a long way to alleviating some anxiety and in this community is considered the only way to go. Please note that this community deeply frowns upon any sort of commerce associated with this molecule.

Extraction is easier and less daunting than it first appears. I've frequently said it's easier than pulling off a full blown turkey dinner . . .

Regarding letting go . . . it's not easy. There's no easy answer. My path has involved learning how to meditate as well as getting into abdominal breathing . . . these things really calm my mind and vital signs if I'm having pre-launch anxiety. Then once I take the dose, I really just try to accept and surrender and hopefully observe . . . surrender to everything, no matter what. Don't say no if it's my time to die, say I surrender and I LOVE YOU. Amazing things result. Trust me . . . . there's MORE to be seen than the crazy geometry . . . .

You have sampled a tiny corner of the surface level of a very large iceberg. Again, I say welcome.

Pandora's right, extracting is really not as hard as I may have given you the impression. I hope i didnt discourage you. It was just a little bumpy for me because I had to go back and relearn some basic chemistry terms and concepts that I had forgotten since high school.

"What are you doing? Just let go...."

Life just is. Just be.

Hello, Sil:

Welcome to the DMT-Nexus. Sounds like you have a good friend there. This was a beautifully written report worthy of the quality experience section. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.

I look forward to your future contributions here on the site. Everything you could ever need to extract your own beautiful spice is here in these forums and on the wiki. Check the links in my signature. Please, let us know if you have ny questions during the extraction process. The whole thing seems difficult and alien at first, but trust me, it's easier than making a pie. Also, have you considered oral DMT in the form of ayahuasca?

And, congratulations oh Full Membership. Not many pass the bar with one post.

Cheers,
-a1pha

Uno, a1pha, and Pandora,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story of how I came to be introduced to this very awesome but very mysterious substance!

Uno, I believe you asked if my friend actually made the crystals himself? To be quite honest, I am not 100 percent sure on that one, I will have to ask him. At the time, I was in such shock that he even had it to begin with that I didn't really get the opportunity to ask! :lol: Also, thanks for the tips about "letting go"! I'll definitely have to keep those in mind for my next experience. The breathing always seemed to help me too, but that only helped so much once everything set in!

Pandora, I absolutely do not mind the questions at all and thanks for asking, I absolutely do not mind sharing more about myself at all! As you had pointed out, yes, I have had experience with both LSD and mushrooms. I also had an experience with peyote one time which was definitely an experience I will never forget! Very spiritual! What I got out of the these particular substances was that it deeply expanded my mind to be more open creatively and more open to the idea that there is some type of existence outside of this one. But I could never really... prove it's existence with these other substances if that makes any sense? I will say, though, the peyote experience actually was intense in its own right so I don't include that my in my explanation above as it opened my eyes that there is a very spiritual existence of some type out there. What I hope to get out of my future experiences with DMT is to explore this other world more and hopefully learn its secrets.... that is if I can learn how to let go completely and actually absorb what needs to be said or taught to me in my trip to the beyond. I will definitely tell stories of my future journeys when they happen, hopefully sooner than later!

a1pha, thank you I really appreciate that! And for the Full Membership, I am deeply honored and very grateful to be welcomed within this community! As to the question about taking it orally, I have been kind of tinkering with the idea, but I will be honest, that notion does kind of scare the crap out of me as I did a little research on that too, and while it's not a sudden transition when you take it orally as opposed to vapor inhalation, it has been said to last 4 to 5 hours! Holy Mother of Betsy, that would be insanity! However though, as I take more and more trips into this other world, that particular method just very well be one of my next goals! i'll have to keep you posted!

Everyone, thank you all for your warmth and tips that you were so gracious enough to give me! As for extraction, I do plan on extracting my own here very soon, in fact I will be ordering a glass funnel setup soon along with all the other necessary equipment. The first extraction that I would like to try is a simple STB extraction, I was thinking maybe Nomans tek? I also had a chance to read the older tek "DMT For The Masses" and would like to employ this equipment with the Noman recipe if possible. With the glass funnel setup, I hope to accomplish extracting as pure of a product as possible without the wash, however I am fully prepared to employ washing methods if necessary. I will admit I am novice to the world of chemistry but do respect it's ability to cause harm and literally blow up in my face, so safety equipment such as gloves and eye protection will be in no short supply for this adventure.

I am still researching at this time, however, what the best method for my current situation would be as I am currently employed so free time with my schedule is unfortunately in short supply lately. I will definitely keep you posted on my progress though and will definitely be asking questions as I progress in this venture!

Thank you everyone for having me in this community! It feels very good to be welcomed at a place where others have had experience with this awesome tool!

Sil,

Awesome - and great job on your quick promotion. Well done.

A friendly warning: If you learn any "secrets," I would counsel you that it is highly probable that you will receive extremely personal lessons and answers from the spice. The secrets will be your own and the answers will be personally your own. One person's secret is another person's sin. One person's enlightenment is another's drug abuse. One person's answers is another person's insanity . . . . A number of Nexians have had to learn this the very hard way and currently say they are sick and tired of being looked at or treated as if they are "crazy," if they dare discuss their experiences and revelations with the . . . . uninitiated . . . .

"DMT for the Masses," . . .. are you, like me, an owner/reader of the old Entheogen Reviews? ER was the first place where I saw Noman's tek published . . . .Anyway it has been updated. Be sure to check the Noman's tek section in the Wiki (extractions area) here for updated info. Noman's is quite simple. I never needed a glass funnel, or separation funnel or any thing fancy. I did it all with Mason jars and pyrex and measuring utensils I bought at places such as Wal-Mart and flea markets. Saves a lot of money and hassle. I always like to embrace the philosophy of Keep It Simple with kitchen chemistry.

You have begun a grand adventure. Like all adventures it will have a beginning, a middle and an end and can be screwed up or made much better at any time. It will not be infinite. There is frequently a "honeymoon period" that is delightful. I encourage you to relish this very special and exquisite time. It shall never be repeated. Take your time. Really enjoy it. Integrate it fully. The links in the upper right hand corner of the forum can offer some opinions/guidance . . . . .

Again, a warm welcome and hearty congratulations to you. I look forward to reading your future posts.

-Pandora
