He says,
Very helpful, thanks! I always hear that an eighth is supposed to be a normal dose, and perhaps I confused "normal" with "medium." DMT is still more intense than anything I encountered with mushrooms, but something that lasts for 4-5 hours is a different kind of intense. I hadn't planned to work with mushrooms again because of that experience, but your advice to start with a gram and build a relationship seems like a good plan. If I encounter mushrooms again, I think I'll meet them with a bit more respect next time, and get to know them more patiently.
