I tried shrooms for the first time two weeks ago and thought that was a very enlightening and life changing experience, and it was. I used the opportunity to rationalize and discover some larger questions I had about my life because I happen to be the ever philosophical type. That's what gave me the courage to try it last week when it came around by chance. I'd just like to say that the two are really nothing alike, on shrooms I felt as if I was united with everything, and so comfortable with the clouds and trees rhythmically fluctuating around me. on DMT, life as I know it did not matter, all that really mattered to me was paying attention to what the barrage of whispers had to say, I will admit that one experience gives me no right to be doing any sort of speculation on whether or not it's ok to guide yourself, but I really felt that it was a "just me" sort of thing. My girlfriend was on the porch but communicating with her wasn't even an option in my mind while I was there. It wasn't until I came back to reality that I felt the need to attemt to convey the knowledge I was receiving. My one regret was not having a tape recorder. I found it hard to remember much of anything I said.
