PsycheLogics

Rising Star
I'm following Noman's method, and just put a lb of rootbark into the base solution. It all mixed together in a wonderfully dark-purple solution. Coincidently NPR swtiched from one program to another, American Roots, which is playing Voodoo music. The music switched just when I started chopping up the bark. This is exciting and scary at the same time. Exciting cause I've always wanted to do this, for 12 years now since I heard of DMT. I was fascinated by psychedelics at the age of 10 when I saw a drug poster that described the effects of LSD on it. At 13 I became a total drug Nerd, stealing every book on drugs from my highschool and friends' highschools. Then the internet and books which were not in my highschool. Filled my mind. I've tried LSD and mushrooms a dozen times but my only strong experiences were more than a decade ago. Soon I will experience something extreme, and I have no idea what it will be! This is what Aldous Huxley wrote in [i:96fd081117]Heavan and Hell[/i:96fd081117] [quote:96fd081117]Like the giraffe and the duck billed platypus, the creatures inhabiting these remoter regions of the mind are exceedingly improbable. Nevertheless they exist, they are facts of observation; as such, they cannot be ignored by anyone who is honestly trying to understand the world in whcih he lives.[/quote:96fd081117] That sort of describes my motivation. But with DMT no one can say wether the creatures are in the Mind or somewhere Else My girlfriend made me promise to wait till she can be there before I smoke it for the first time, so it won't be for a few weeks till I try it. I was thinking I would either do it in darkness in my apartment (perhaps with a candle?). I am going to try to breakthrough on my first attempt. any way I'll let you know about my yield and experience when that happens. If anyone has suggestions for someone brand new to this, feel free to send them along :)

At least until you've 'mastered' yourself when using it, I suggest a sober sitter, unless you are doing vision quest work. Your girlfriend would be great, as long as she'd be supportive through the personal stuff.

well she said she would be jealous if I had sex with any alien creatures... but other than that I she would be supportive of the experience ;) I woke this morning to find a bunch of little white crystals.... Thanks Noman :)

[quote:af75e0a935="PsycheLogics"]well she said she would be jealous if I had sex with any alien creatures... but other than that I she would be supportive of the experience ;)[/quote:af75e0a935] Just tell her that means she has to try it afterwards so that she can travel backwards in time and be the alien creature that was having sex with you. [quote:af75e0a935]I was fascinated by psychedelics at the age of 10 when I saw a drug poster that described the effects of LSD on it.[/quote:af75e0a935] Lol! Good to know i wasn't the only one tempted by the anti drugs rhetoric i was fed at school. I remember thinking at the time. 'This stuff sounds really interesting. If only it weren't for the permament risk of instant flashbacks happening at any time (like if i was driving a car) I would definitely try this'. 5 years latter i learnt that the whole flashback thing was just the same mechanism as flashbacks from any traumatic event - if you have a bad enough trip it can fuck you up with flashbacks just like a bad car accident or whatever. It is nothing to do with little bits of LSD sticking around in your brain jumping out again afterwards. After that it was only a matter of time... In terms of suggestions; I would recomend you start low and work your way upwards. There are some that recomend jumping in at the deep end, but not me. Read everything you can on erowid and similar first. With all psychadelics set and setting are important. Hopefully you know this if you've tried others before. However, with DMT set and setting feel at least 10 x more important than any of the others to me. Don't take it if you are pissed off, stressed out, unhappy, drunk or anything else that might colour the experience. DMT can really pick out the feelings of your immediate surroundings or the current events in your life so make sure you consider this. DMT is not a party drug. Take it with one or two close friends (sober sitters, but it only lasts 20 mins or so at most so you can take it in turns).

Hi MrM, I realized that Set and Setting is important, but I guess I had always assumed that it was [i:e047fc66bc]less[/i:e047fc66bc] so with DMT, since DMT seems to propel people so far away from where they are, mentally and physically. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I have experimented with salvia a bit, no breakthroughs by any means, but it was always uncomfortable for me. To test whether I would have a similar anxiety with DMT, I tried a threshold dose today. I smoked a small amount and gradually increased the dosage until a ray of light streaming across my room got brighter and brighter.. After I saw the bright light the feeling became [i:e047fc66bc]very[/i:e047fc66bc] familiar, a similar body awareness as with lsd, psilocybin, and ayahuasca. I was very glad that the uncomfortable salvia experiences seem to be particular to salvia. I closed my eyes and saw this symbol: [img:e047fc66bc]http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/images/symbols/buddha-eyes/symbol.jpg[/img:e047fc66bc] This then turned into a cross, and then it turned into a wolf's face, with the two eyes where the original eyes were, and the nose where the bottom of the cross ran down. I had no idea what the symbol was before I just looked it, up, the dot abobve the eyes is the third eye, and the curly thing where the nose should be is the nepal number 1, symbolizing the unity of all things. I suppose that was appropriate for my first vision from smoked DMT.
