Avoid inhaling vapors. Exposure may result in Naus
Hello everyone here in the Nexus. SWIM will preface his introduction by stating that he usually avoids posting on web forums due to the overwhelming amounts of negativity and general trolling. He has been lurking on the Nexus for just around a year and can say that this is one of the most accepting communities around. Could it be due to the one molecule that brought the community together? Who can say?

So a bit of SWIM’s background. SWIM has been using psychedelics since he was 18; now in his mid thirties. LSD was the first to be experimented with and countless trips have followed. A dozen or so shroom voyages were experienced as well as a single 2C-I and synthetic mescaline trip. Many other substances have been used throughout his life. SWIM conquered 2 forms of speed addiction "the bad and the worst". SWIM let a lot of poisonous people into his life during his 20’s which caused him to revaluate his social circles and choices in women. SWIM has learned from his mistakes and did not seek help in overcoming his addictions. SWIM is thankful for his past addictions as much was learned and personal strength was gained. He is now in a loving relationship, avoids poisonous people and chemicals… except nicotine… darn it.

Just about a year ago SWIM was laid off and has been searching for a new career path. In the past year more information has been integrated into his life than at any other time. SWIM had learned of DMT quite some time ago but never had a chance to experiment. Feelers were extended into the world to find some. SWIM had heard of Terrance McKenna via Bill Hicks’s “Gifts of Forgiveness” routine. Podcasts have been the main form of entertainment and enlightenment. The JRE and Psychedelic Salon have introduced SWIM to so many great minds it is almost unreal. Thanks to this medium he now is familiar with McKenna, the Shulgins, Pinchbeck, Lorenzo, Silva, Damer, Trussell, Stoloroff, Strassman and so many others.

Around 8 months ago as if by divine intervention SWIM got a hold of 1gr of DMT. SWIM was in the midst of lovely Molly session with his love and he received word that it was available. SWIM received it the next day and eagerly tried it with his love as a sitter. After 3 tokes a breakthrough was not achieved but the room was no longer the room that he was in. It was the most profound experience he had ever faced up to that point in his life. No other substance compared. The Nivek song he had playing became even more monotone and robotic then before and his love was made of crystal. His love then tried it and was equally moved. The batch was gone within 2 days.

SWIM was thankful he was not working as the integration process lasted around 2 weeks. All he could think of was that place he witnessed and the fact that there were further depths to reach. SWIM read every article, every trip report, and watched every documentary he could find. After scouring the net he found a place to receive some powdered MHRB “sadly that place no longer exists” and attempted Poorman’s TEK which produced a pitiful but functional yield. Breakthrough was successful.

SWIM then used NB’s STB TEK twice and achieved a 2.5% yield. Many experiences followed and detailed notes were taken on many of the voyages. SWIM has encountered many entities. Several reoccurring entities such as the Glass Man “who seems to be a gate keeper” and a female entity who is almost too alien to describe. SWIM has been touched; his mind probed by instruments, a creature made of eyes placed a glowing crystal in his temple, he was reduced to particles and flown through space, was offered a small child “to eat!” by a Peruvian looking couple, and on several occasions has become an “alien” himself to name just a few experiences.

SWIM thinks that these beings are “others” but is not so presumptuous to say exactly what they are. SWIM has shared his experiences with some of his family and friends. He is currently attempting to write a thesis on a possible connection with DMT and PTSD and has many experiences he would like to share with a true community. Much of this has been kept secret as many of SWIMs peers are no longer into the lifestyle. Most prefer alcohol and look down on anything else as destructive.

SWIM has recently become interested in experimenting with Changa and that is one more reason he wishes to join the Nexus. SWIM has combined DMT with LSD with spectacular results. SWIM and his love just had their first “heroic dose” of shrooms. He wished that experience to be pure and did not combo it but he was more than surprised to see that Mushroom entities and DMT “tykes” were one in the same. His prior Mushroom trips were never above 2.5gr and the others were not encountered.

SWIM apologizes if this intro essay is too lengthy but there was much that needed to be said. SWIM also noticed that many other essays did not include “SWIM” but he did feel that it was necessary since there were so many little tidbits. Thank you for reading as this is the first message that has been shared with another circle in quite some time.
 
Hello MrLafiddy & Welcome to the Nexus!

That was a fantastic introduction -- Thank you. It's great to convert another lurker into an active participant in this amazing experience. Here's to finding whatever it is you search for.

Cheers!

Thank you! I think it has been found in this community. To be frank; friends and family are getting sick of hearing about the sights and sounds. A place to discuss and share these experiences is just what the doctor ordered.
 
welcome, and welcome...

do experiment with changa... i thought i had found what i was looking for in dmt... that was until i discovered changa... i don't think i'll ever smoke raw crystal again... there's a ton of good info, & i'm sure a couple recipes you'll like... here's my current favorite:

1 pt 6x Caapi (wanted 10x, but had reached the bottom of the bag, so 6x it was)
1 pt Sinicuichi
2 pts Damiana
2 pts Calea Zacatechichi
.5 pt Mullein
1 pt Blue Lotus (added after the rest is enhanced)

done in a 1:1 ratio, i've found this blend mind-bending... & i like it with some shrooms, too... i've found that the LSdmt is nice, but the shroom-changa combo is really hard to beat...
 
Welcome to the Nexus!

What is your method of smoking? While its def not impossible, I would really suspect that if you got to smoke 1g between two people in two dys, it means you didnt really have an effective smoking method taking you as far as you can.

If with 30mg you can breakthrough with an effective method (look into the GVG if you can afford, or the inspirator mkII from amor fati if you want to build your own), and one breathrough is enough to leave you crying and laughing and dumbfounded, then I think very possibly you had good experiences but didnt get far enough with your method, as well as using too much spice innefectively (burning etc) and thats why you kept going for more and more and used up all that DMT. At least I suspect so.

Regarding shrooms and DMT, you should def try that combo one day, smoking DMT on top of a shroom dosage, its amazing!

What about oral use of DMT, any interest?

Thanks for that info. I am still a little hazy on exactly how to produce changa. I will be doing more research. My spice reserves are limited and it may be sometime before I come into contact with more supplies... trying to wait at least a year between orders of all natural purple pigment.
My latest "heroic dose" was meant to be the pure shroom experience but mixing is most definitely in the future :d

Welcome to the nexus. Awesome intro.

You did 1 gram in 2 days between 2 people your first time? Dang how big we're the doses?

About 30mg - 40mg a piece and not smoked properly. One dose was also given to a family member. We didn't have the proper respect for it as we were enthralled. Now we are more educated and sometimes go weeks in-between voyages.

You are absolutely correct about the poor method of smoking! We just used the "throw it on some grass, burn half of it away, and not hold it in long enough" crapola method. Now I use the regular VG with the cap removed "so basically a bowl" and a 4 screen sandwich. 2 on top, spice, then 2 on the bottom. I eyeball the amount, breakthrough without issue on usually 2 big hits, and no burned spice. It was a trial and error process which I have perfected for myself. I don't always seek a breakthrough as sometimes I just enjoy the room shift and being able to walk around for a few minutes exploring.
The shroom / spice combo is in the future for sure as is an Aya voyage. Before I am dead and gone I will have the true Shaman guided Aya journey and I am also interested in Iboga.
 
Why with the cap removed? Also, just putting screens, you are most def losing spice which will be melting through the screens and into the pipe so you cant see it. You should either use a layer of herbs on the bottom, or thick layer of ashes, or an inert metal pad like the volcano liquid pad. I think you'll notice a significant difference. You can wash your VG with vinegar to remove DMT from inside of it (and you could store and later extract from that vinegar if you want, or just mix it up with some ongoing extraction, or throw it away if you dont care)

When you smoke dmt, whats the setting like, usually?

Welcome! Excellent introduction. I'm pretty new here too, I think you'll find everything here pretty darn groovy.

Blessings

Thank you very much. I have been lurking and gaining a lot of knowledge from this community and decided that it was time to start sharing.

I found the cap to be to cumbersome. Experience with hash has taught me the proper way to vape without burning. I sometimes dry hit the VG for some light experiences before packing for a full blast off. I will look into the volcano pad you mentioned and see if it improves. For now though I have no issues breaking through and never find myself disappointed. Thanks for the vinegar advice as well!

Setting has only ever been my home. Either my candlelit bedroom "one wall is covered floor to ceiling with H.R Geiger art... I dismantled many years worth of the Morpheus calenders and made a collage" or my living room. One of my first tries was in my basement. I was in "candyland" and walked upstairs and through my house to my front porch . About half the time I have my GF with me, the other times I prefer to be alone. On just a few occasions it was with a small group of friends. I am overly cautious and never allow the spice to leave the home. I imagine an outdoor setting would be divine but I am not willing to risk riding dirty.
