Sounds like a great start so far. I love that your work with psychedelics has not only made you feel better but also has lended additional creativity to your work. If you have anything you'd like to share I am confident in writing I am not the only one who would like to take a listen.
I always have advice for new users and I bet others will want to chime in also,
.
My initial suggestion with DMT is that you extract your own but you came in with that intention so no worries there.
Maybe take up a meditation practice.
I also encourage folks to journal their DMT trips and the aftermath (integration) periods. It's interesting to let some time pass and re-read old entries.
I also encourage developing a ritual around psychedelic use. Some folks create an altar. Many folks literally clean house. Some folks modify their diets or fast. Whatever you do, I suggest doing it every time you think about picking up a DMT pipe. Speak your intention out loud before the first hit.
Once you are ready to extract your DMT, re-read the instructions more than once and make sure that the forum/chat have answered any questions that may come up in advance.
Find an easy/simple recipe/TEK. No real need to make things unnecessarily complex or buy a lot of fancy labware.
Be super safe and cautious when you extract. Be stone cold sober, take your time, wear long sleeves and shoes. Wear chemical safe gloves, full protection chemical goggles and a dual cartridge respirator. Provide as much ventilation as possible. Watch your sneaky sparks. For example crock pots and anything with a rheostat generate sparks.
Keep a gallon of vinegar nearby, opened. In the unlikely event you have a catastrophic spill or accident, just splash vinegar over everything and clean up the non-caustic mess after.
Once you have the DMT:
Get a good vaping device. There are a lot of options out there and a lot of info on the forum on this.
Invest in a good mg level scale. Keep the batteries fresh and calibrate frequently.
Start with a low dose, then each time you come back to DMT use, titrate up or down from there gradually until you find a sweet spot. Journalling can help here.
Work on refining your letting go/surrender skills. DMT accepts nothing less.
Okay, that's enough for now. I hope some of this helps.
This is an exciting time to be alive. You are embarking on a great adventure.
