My first "trip"

Migrated topic.

Rising Star
My friend and I have been interested in DMT for some time, and we finally got around to having the time and funds to extract some for ourselves.

Our extraction was a failure, but we managed to scrounge a little out of it; we emulsified the straight-to-base tek with the naptha, waiting for a few days for the naptha to separate. Upon separation, I poured the naptha on a plate and waited for it to fully evaporate.

I scraped together what was left onto a razor blade, a brown goo, and though it looked nothing like the pictures I have seen, I decided to smoke it.

I drove out to my favorite smoke spot, in a parking lot behind a giant van, and filled my pipe with some tobacco, placing the goo on top. I smoked it as I would normal tobacco, though I know this is not the best method. Within a minute, I was 'gone'. I put my head down on my dashboard and was filled with color (it is important to note that it was at night, and was very dark outside - I have heard this is bad for trips). Swirls of color came in and out, primarily in red green blue and yellow. A matrix of triangular shapes forming themselves into cogs and intertwining appeared. Throughout this I was still fully aware of the wind and lights going on around me in real life. I was not in a completely different universe. After several minutes of this intense high, my friend called me to ask how I was (darn him), which pulled me back to earth.

I was euphoric for another hour or so, but that was the extent of my 'trip'.

My friend and I hope to extract more DMT, more effectively, and go on many more excursions in the future.
 
Definitely refine your extraction technique. Smoking base contaminants is extremely unhealthy and disgusting. I wish you the best of luck in your future chemistry performances!


Some tips:

- Take pride in purity.
- Check the Wiki, especially vovin's tek step 7, the sodium CARBONATE (not bicarbonate) wash will save your ass from dealing with this nasty gunk.
- Extract more. The more you do it, the more you will understand each step of the way.
- Take your time. The spice is eternal. The apes spacetime metabolization tends to forget this.
 
Hello maniamgood0,

Welcome to the Nexus. So, was this your first psychedelic trip ever? Or just your first DMT experience? I am curious about this. I do not normally think of DMT is a psychedelic to start with, yet I've heard of several situations in the past month or two where folks did just that. It seems that its recent media popularity as well as relative ease of procurement via home extraction has opened this (DMT as a very first psychedelic experience) up as a distinct possibility for many folks.

I want to encourage you to take a good look around. Keep posting questions as they come up. The wiki (upper right hand corner for general link to the wiki in the Forums) is an incredible resource. There are A LOT of really good extraction teks here. If at first you don't succeed, keep trying for those white crystals. It is worth the wait and worth taking the time to do it right before actually burning and putting it into your body. Here's a link to the teks part of the wiki:


I personally recommend Noman's as an excellent starting point.

Your smoking technique leaves a lot to be desired. I cannot think of a worse herbal base than tobacco to use for DMT to be honest. Going to a vitamin/herb shop and investing in something like a bit of mullein, lavendar, passionflower, etc. would help make a better base. Or consider ordering some banisteriopsis caapi leaves and/or blue lotus online. These make great herbal beds. Another option once you get a decent amount of nice looking crystal is to convert into changa so that you can just put evenly saturated DMT herbs into your pipe and smoke that. Finally, I cannot go any further without mentioning the vaporization pipe of choice for many of us, the Glass Vaporgenie. It's like that thing was designed for DMT.

Set and setting and other issues are important with DMT. If you get a good hit being in a truck may not be an ideal location. I prefer a place where I feel completely safe and comfortable. I usually lay down after I take my hit(s). I want to feel that my body will be perfectly safe and not bothered (by anything other than cats, LOL) should I happen to temporarily abandon it. I usually encourage at home on a couch, reclining chair or in bed. Or in remote nature, comfy location, AWAY from people. I also encourage folks to thouroughly brief any friends or sitters to be as quiet as possible and attempt to control unnatural noises in the environment. Also, do not assume it is over if the tripper opens their eyes.

Lots of things to mention. Maybe the Health & Safety section of the wiki might be a good starting point here:


Take a good look around - there's so much to see here. I'll bet you won't regret finding this place. Sounds like your first trip was a great "handshake" with DMT but I promise you there is a lot more to experience.

Again, welcome. :D
 
It's not my first psychedelic experience, if you consider weed to be a psychedelic. I'll list everything I've done in the past; weed, opiates, dextromethorphane, 'speed', tobacco. Nothing particularly psychedelic.
My friend introduced me to DMT as a possibility, after much reading on Erowid. I find DMT difficult to extract, considering I still live with my parents and have to avoid their supervision. I also don't know what the entire progression is supposed to look like, so I am always left to guessing.
I actually have some lavender sitting in my freezer, I may use that next time. It is difficult to find a smoking time when neither my parents nor my younger brother are around, but I will attempt to make space in the future.

Based on my description, would you guess that my trip was threshold, light, or moderate?

Thanks for your input, Pandora.
 
Hello maniamgood0 and welcome to the Nexus,

i think you had a very low dose, but with an impure extract it's impossible to know how much you've had.
I think if one studies the various teks and understood the few basic steps, then the extraction of DMT is a very simple task!
Go ahead....there is more in it to extract! Make many small naptha pulls - pool those pulls - freeze precipitate and recrystallisation is the way to go.
For a successful extraction i'ts essential to find a place where you can work undisturbed. The same applies for a successful experience - a place where you feel completely safe and comfortable. Otherwise you have to wait....
 
Good suggestions have been made already...

I do not normally think of DMT is a psychedelic to start with, yet I've heard of several situations in the past month or two where folks did just that.

It was my first one, and i do not regret it the slightest. I'd even recommend a low dose to a first timer. It is short, powerful..no time for big freakouts and you won't get false ideas about psychedelics to start with.
 
Tripped again... Cartman's mom was trying to sell me cookies. My thumb wasn't my own. I don't know what happened. It's about 20 minutes after I smoked now and stuff still isn't making sense.
