Locked out - DMT - Weird Psychs experiences

[PaperTiger]

Heyyy, I know there's so many threads about the same topic where people get locked out from DMT and the answer is always the same: You've been abusing DMT, take a long break, you need a new technique and so on...

My experience with psychadelics is so weird tho, that I rlly want to hear others opinion. I cant post this on Reddit cuz it always gets downvoted into oblivion.
I started doing psychadelics in 2023 starting with Mushrooms. Took 2.5g and it didn't do anything except making me feel nauseous and kinda hyperactive later on?
Took small dosage LSD afterwards bcz I felt pissed that it didnt work and got a psychosis where I saw some pretty dark stuff in the dark or when I closed my eyes.
This went away after some weeks.

Then I tried DMT and loved the hell out of it and ofc abused it for MONTHS.
Afterwards I got one DMT experience which scared the shit out of me, my body was shaking, my heart beat fast and I rlly thought I was dying. After this experience, DMT never worked again for me except for some occasions where I had some closed eyes visuals which somehow were aggressive towards me and at one time I had a metallic taste in my mouth.

After DMT stopped working I've been using LSD (only good trips yet, almost every 2 weeks tripping) but the visuals weren't rlly that what I was expecting, except for 3 days ago when I took Valium 15 hrs before the trip and my new LSD (dots pills) which gave me visuals I've never had before and I dont even know why?

Yesterday I got hands on freebase DMT and a nice vaporizer. I put 25mg in it, vaporized DMT and inhaled it for 20 seconds.
The only thing that happened is: Body tingles (kinda vibrating), closed eyes visuals are only simple dots moving around like when you stand up too fast and nothing else at all.
This was my first DMT trip after a 5-6Months break from it and it seems like it'll never work again since the last time it worked it was a whole year ago!

Funny enough is, that taking DMT on a LSD trip does smth unusual, but not really the usual DMT trips I've experienced so it's not rlly worth it
Has anyone experienced the same? Why dont the Mushrooms work at all? (Mushrooms were my first take on psychadelics ever)
Anything I can do to make DMT work again?

> Anything I can do to make DMT work again?
Besides long abstinence, I haven't really seen any effective remedies to that.

IMHO you are left with "homework", which you might be unaware of, or sub-consciously refusing to be aware of. As a result, you might have homework which you need to actually do.

I think it is important for you to have (for yourself) answers to these questions:
"What is my intention of doing DMT and taking psychedelics?"
"Why was my latest trip so horrifying, what was the message (to myself) of this trip?"

> Why dont the Mushrooms work at all?
Have you tried it since your first experience? It's not clear from your post whether you tried more after your first experience.
Could be a mushroom potency issue or natural tolerance. I know people who need twice or triple the dose of the same mushrooms, compared to an average tripper.

Can you be locked out from the rip?

I've tried nndmt a couple times and really didn't get much out of it... Maybe I didn't have enough.

Does "long abstinence" include all forms of drugs/psychadelics?

>Intention of DMT and taking psychedlics
It helps me cope with life (I dont have depression) but it makes my life much more fun!
>Horrifying trip
Message was probably "Stop abusing this drug this much, if you don't treat it with respect it will scare you".

>Mushrooms
I've taken mushroom 5g in chocolate tabs shape. Dunno if the shrooms were ever able to work but I ate the whole and didn't feel anything from it.
That was a year ago, bought one again 2 weeks ago, might try it again in a few weeks, but I think shrooms really aint it for me.

 

[PaperTiger]

I'm going to try to take benzos before trying to trip on DMT.
Also meditate for a few minutes might help to actually get some visuals.

Will report back in a few days.
Set and setting seems also to be important with DMT

Wow you didn't even feel 5g? I'd be spaced, usually 2g is a good starting point for me. you sure you got legit stuff?

The first time with the 2.5g it was legit stuff.
The one with 5g chocolate tabs I wouldnt really know if it was legit.
Before taking those 5g at once I had a LSD trip 3 days before so it wasn't the smartest thing to try out.

Got those 5g now again and might try again in 4 weeks.

Here is my 2 cents. Being locked out feels almost like your brain waves change but it is not due to gaining knowledge of the divine and 'locking you out' from ever seeing it again. (Although, it may feel a little like betrayal)

A theory I had was that our brain has built up a psychic tolerance, where you no longer need DMT because of previous experiences and it is similar to having 'no dreams'. But because you are using DMT, and you expect it to work NOW. It won't, simply because you are just not having any DMT dreams that day. Like your soul is present now, and you get dark dreams you won't remember.

Personally I think manifestation and matter manipulation is not replicable in the real world like it is in the DMT world. So whatever 'server' or 'entity' would 'decide' you're locked out, is either reading your mind and knows to change your future towards the 'right path'. (Rude ) And is doing this for its own entertainment, which is already what humanity is striving towards with the development of children in schools and what not, therefore DMT would have not worked on you to begin with because 1. The future is inevitable, it's already happening (aka. end result = beginning result... ) 2. It would jeopardize the entities identity and reveal it's existence, possibly causing it harm but a scenario that is also possible if this was its intention, a simple reminder of the ego's existence.

The less emotion driven way to see this would be to expect that DMT can 'fill up' your DMT tank reserves to max and the chemical is simply not going to work due to tolerance, but this would mean we cannot metabolize DMT properly, yet trips end very quickly. We need more chemical testing.

Everything I mentioned feels like a form of tolerance, but in different forms. I believe human language is not enough to express what is happening, so I hope you enjoy the experience and maybe someday we can make sense of it. Also, happy new year to you. All the best wishes for 2026 :'3

Lock out defies scientific explanation or the rules of tolerance as confirmed by DMT researchers.

It is difficult to understand and it is difficult to know if there is a real solution.

I've never been locked out but i've had colors drop out and extended breaks including one of seven years paid off incredibly well. It's not as bad as it sounds, especially if you are young and DMT is certainly worth the wait.

I cannot help but wonder if some of these prescriptions you are mentioning are acting as trip killers?

I hope you get some answers on this that work and give you what you are looking for. Thank you very much for sharing.

How you differentiate with use and abuse?

When you’ve been dismissed.. respect it..
It’s for a reason.. even though that reason is unknown

What do mean by abusing it?

 

[Cykonaut]

Hello everyone. I had a very hard experience. I think it was my strongest one, I found out (my friend told me) I was breathing very fast for 5 minutes. I remember seeing a vague figure dancing. I tried a week after and it felt like it was an interference there, a plain yellow "90s no signal tv" pattern with some strange feeling there was something about to happen, that never happened. I also felt the urge to open my eyes, something I NEVER WANTED TO DO, but somehow I did it even if I always told me not to do so.
Then I waited another week but this time I wanted to do one single toke of liquid vape (5 seconds). It felt very strange because I actually saw some vibrating pattern, like right before the breaktrought on a higher dose on emesh.

I am scared about having changed the effect forever somehow. I did more or less 10-15 breaktrought in my path (2 years and a half) and I could tell I remember none from the start to the end. I am still very concerned and I think it would be very unfair to lock me out, after I always respect it and urge people who uses it to respect the process.

I also am still questioning what it is, my intention is clear: "to understand what nobody could tell me".

Am I just too concerned without reason? or someone else is seeing this pattern as familiar?

Strange that no one ever mentions that lockouts are most likely a blessing in disguise. Yes, you want to enjoy your DMT, but who said that it's of benefit to you at this point?
Just as you instinctively pull your hand away when burned, lockouts could be nature's safety mechanism. One thing is certain: nothing lasts in life. This constant change is both troubling and liberating. Yes, we're dying, but we're never stuck. People are more like verbs - we're flowing rivers. You never step into the same river twice, because it's not the same river and you're not the same person.

So, don't create some fairy tale around your situation or subscribe to stories from others who act like know-it-alls. Live your own life and make your own choices. Enjoy what you can and be present with everything. Maybe you don't need DMT anymore, or maybe you need a break from it. Maybe there is no lockout apart from your ideas about it. Who knows? Live long, stay present, and explore. Life is not about DMT, entities, or all this bs. It's about you

 

[Cykonaut]

Seeing it as a blessing is a nice way to accept it. I would also consider it, but somehow I feel like my journey didn't even start. You are right btw, maybe is just some subconscious response to it. That would actually explain why it is reversible. The more you are scared of it the more it would happen, maybe. Who knows.

Also if the entity are usually "angry" before locking you out, seeing is as a positive thing is a bit challenging.

I am positive that science will study it and give an answer. It is confirmed you can make it happen by taking an integrator, but it's not likely to be the only cause

Don't put a meaning on it. For example, stomach discomfort can present itself as visions of demons, spiders, spikes, and so on. See the mechanism. It's not like there is some evil entity there to get you, yet you can interpret it that way if you lack experience and discernment.

I didn't feel any anger on me, honestly. I was talking about the main discussions about this phenomenon. What happened to me is more like an intense interaction, so intense that my body was suffering on this side. That entity didnt seem angry at me, but seemed pissed off. I felt like he/she/it showed me so much that it was too overwhelming, at the end, it splitted in many clones and all said together "by the way, you've not seen anything yet".

The consequent trip was horrible but it was also carried out with heavy coughs and a strange burnt flavor in my mouth, my sitter (more like an observer) told me my tokes were very slower than the usual, espetially the last one. I felt like it was going to make me vomit. It was so challenging that now I am scared of trying it again.

I tried one single toke after a week, as I mentioned above, and it was a strong effect for a single liquid toke of 5 seconds. So, or I am locked out or I became the opposite, so much to gain back the fear I had when I started
