My first DMT Experience at 51 years of age

[DirtylikaRat]

For about the past two years or so, I've developed quite an nterest in DMT and it's effects... Both while in the midst of the DMT "trip" and the state of mind and being post "trip"... I've always been aware of the existence of this chemical compound, but only recently, due to Its popularity and exposure n social media by folks like. JOE Rogan, drone pilot and YouTuber Zorro Fpv, even Mike Tyson and many others, I started paying more attention and researching it more thoroughly. But I despite al my research and reading several accounts of the positive experiences and life changing results after even onky one trip, I had no desire to actually try it for myself. As a retied LSD enthusiast, I having ingested and experienced more hits of LSD in a variety of time types through out the 1990s... Blotter, liquid, sugar cubes, gel tabs, micro dots, and trips on psilocybin, I felt as if my psychedelic journey had came to an end and I had benefitted all that I was intended to from such experiences. I figured being a father of three... 51 years old... It just didn't seem like the thing to do. Until I met a new friend and fellow military veteran, Jay. He often used DMT, but in a manner which could be enst described as micro dosing of the chemical. He put a very small amount on a glass bowl or in a vape pen and would take a hit from the bowl or vape that, but the best way I could describe it was like taking a small sip of a milkshake from a straw... Holding the hit for as long as possible. He explained that upon exhale he would get a feeling similar to taking a hit of nitrous oxide, audio hallucinations like rushimg wind, and then a nice mild euphoria but with very vivid and colorful visuals... Patterns and flashing lights almost like fireworks. This would last for 5 - 10 mins.. He assured me if done as He instructed I would not experience any sort of blasting off into another world, or meet the entities I read about.. Just a mild shroom like trip. But he did mention it was easy to take too big a hit so be careful. He demonstrated for me, and I felt confident in be able to stay grounded and in control, as during the entire duration of his experience he was conversing with me coherently... Describing the visuals and how he felt physically, and just as if he hadn't taken anything at all. I gave it a shot and did just as he recommended, and had an experience just as he described. And it was enjoyable. It was pleasant. But for some reason I had a strange feeling amd thoughts afterwards. I felt as if I had cheated myself somehow. That to partake of the DmT in this manner was almost disrespectful to the chemical itself. Maybe that, sounds silly... And 6 0be these feelings and thoughts were brought on from being under the influence, but I mildly, of the Dmt. I sort of felt like as if I had just read, like a super intense murder mystery.. But threw the book out the window without reading the last chapter to find out who commited the murder. (kind of a dark comparison but yoi get the idea I think) : . So I asked my buddy to put a hefty portion in the bowl and excused myself to the living room, as I felt that being alone, free of distractions would be best...

I'll post part two. My actual experience later. Gotta do some work now, but I'm anxious to share my experience and get down feedback from everyone...
