Long time lurker, first time posting. Just your average dude from middle tennessee. Ive got a fair amount of experience with mushrooms and cid, but im no expert by any means. Most of my experiences have been from a "lets trip and laugh at the weirdness of life" point of view. Ive always been interested in DMT, but honestly knew nothing about it. I thought of it as similiar to my past experiences, but more intense. After a lot of research, mixed with my own personal spiritual journey i have a MUCH more mature view of DMT. I guess the main thing i have gained is a new found respect and a more medicinal view of it.

With that said ive been cautiously and meticulously extracting my own medicine. After a few go rounds and and a bit of learning im getting good yields and getting anxious to give it a go. I have tested my product a couple times with small amounts and I am amazed at the possibilities. After a few "microdoses" I have already witnessed things that are hard to put into words. I am in no rush to "break through", as inhaling small doses had already blown my mind, however in due time i would like to reach that point. This molecule... or whatever it is.... is beyond words!

I would invite any words of encouragement, caution, or advice. All feedback is defnitly appreciated. A few things im needing help with is the best way to smoke? So far ive freebased wjth a straight shooter pipe and a screen. Ive been reading its best not to place flame onto spice directly. I definitly feel like i wasted a lot by this method. Would a "bubble pipe" be best? Im not looking to break the bank with any kind of crazy vaporizer or expensive glassware. Im not real big on ordering stuff like this online, so something purchased at a vape shop maybe?

Eventually I would like to make it into some vape carts, so any info or links on that would be awesome. Ive been navigating around this site for a while but there's a lot of info and sometimes get lost in all the info.

My next question is how do you store left over spice? Ive built up quite a surplus right now and I plan on blessing a few friends of mine, but in the meantime I dont want to waste it. Ive been storing it in the freezer, is this necessary?

Last question.... during extraction my first couple pulls are always the lovely white/amber colored fluffy "crystals". But the more pulls it make it becomes more oily/gooey. Ive saved this product and kept it separate from the rest in case it is contaminated, but what is making it gooey? Is this still good product to use, or should I be rinsing it with naptha possibly? Please share your method if you are familiar with this.

Sorry for the long post, but all feedback is much appreciated!

Photo because im proud! If this is not allowed I will delete.

Much love and appreciation!

cerebral.graffiti,

Welcome to official membership. That was a great introduction.

Great job extracting your own medicine.

I will answer some of your questions and not in order. Hopefully other answers will come.

Your later pulls producing yellow oily material is just that. Plant oils and other things crossing over. I put all of my pulls into one small jar, and then let it sit for several minutes and then do a decant. Where I pour off the material and I can leave the little spots of oil behind. I actually do this several times.

Best to store your spice in amber vials in a cool dark place. Keep it well sealed and away from oxygen. For longer term storage convert to a salt like fumarate.

Vape carts are easy. Wish.com has empty 1 mL cartridges. You will also want some blunt needles and syringes, citric acid, PG and VG.

Place 500 mgs of freebase in a small container (I use a shot glass) inside of a double boiler. Add 180 mgs citric acid, 1 mL PG and 0.36 mL VG. Actively stir and mix well for 4 to 5 minutes. It takes a long time to go into solution and patience pays off.

Now suction that material up into the syringe using the blunt needle and inject it into the injection port of the cartridge. You will have enough to fill a cartridge in a little bit of another.

I hope this helps and I love your post. I think you're going to make a great member of this community and I warmly welcome you.

In case it helps, this is my little journey into learning to Vape, and mixing D-juice How to Vape E-Juice - I've never vaped before
Folks on this site are very helpful and I also found the Minty Love to be informative along with his website Minty Love

Nice to hear another low and slow person, I started mixing my own juice so I could start to remove the pre-hit-stress/fear, the Vape Juice lets you go in slow and build or even just have a quick toke of 2-3 seconds and call it quits if the moment doesn't feel right.

With what @Pandora says above, I make my juice in a shot glass or a tiny 5ml clear glass jar and simply leave it overnight in a warmer place, which in my case is our plant-room where all the heating stuff is, stir it occasionally and within 24 hours it will have gone from cloudy to clear, if adding Citric Acid crush it up to a finer powder to help it dissolve in the PG (Propylene Glycol).

I'm experimenting with Citric Acid to reduce/neutralise the Alkalinity of the Spice, so far I've got too heavy on the citric and made my myself 'Tangy' for almost 48 hours!!

Happy Journeys

Much appreciated! Thats def some good info because I find that no matter how confident and courageous I feel throughout the day, when its time to go im always a nervous wreck. I guess thats normal? Sometimes im shaking so bad, and so nervous its hard to hold in a normaly average hit! Lol ive always been an anxious person, but never when it comes to getting high. I guess the fear of the unknown? But when its go time my nerves always get the best of me. Ive had my fair share of heroic doses of mushrooms, so im not quite sure why, but im literally trembling everytime I try to take a good hit and hold. I will def be looking into vaping as a method of ingestion!!

Yes, pre-launch anxiety is very common. I have it and I never have anxiety in my regular life. And I have smoked DMT a HUGE number of times. The pre-launch anxiety does not go away. Meditation helps. Also taking a couple/few mini or micro doses before I really commit to smoking the real one has helped me feel calmer about rocketing myself into a different/alien/inhabited realm.

Looking into myself I also concluded it was mainly fear of the unknown. Seems like fear of the unknown is at the root/base of a lot of human fears. We think we are in control which is HILARIOUS. Let go of that idea. We do the best we can. Let go of everything if you can. Be okay with whatever comes. I like to embrace the idea that there are no good or bad DMT experiences. There are DMT experiences and they are very intense but it is my personal judgements and projections that define the material as "good" or "bad."

I also sincerely believe that DMT only gives me with I need. It is interesting that what I need does not always correlate well with what I want or even what I thought I needed. DMT is a powerful teacher. I always feel it does well to listen . . . .

 

[TransistorBass]

Fear of the unknown is a big one, I think the surprise and shock of the DMT hit and the total loss of control is the other part of the fear.
This is a pretty good guide in case it helps - Education, Preparation, Integration for your Psychedelic Journey from Robin Carhart-Harris, I'll admit i watched these through after knowing most of it anyway but it's still a nice relaxed walk through for your journeys.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. Def trying to learn as much as possible and maximize my experience. So far mini doses are already blowing my mind, I feel like its going to be a bit before I muster up the courage... or even coordination to take multiple hits. I can barely find enough time or clarity to take one good hit and still be able to put down my lighter and pipe before im catapulted Into another dimension. Do yall put much stock into setting the mood? Ive got some lights and always some music but Im starting to feel like the music controls my outcome rather than letting it just go whwre it needs to... does that make sense?

 

[Pandora]

For me music absolutely "drives" my synaesthetic visions.

At higher doses DMT has its own sounds like high pitched tinnitus or even a siren sound. I have never heard elf speak, like as McKenna described.

I would encourage you to experiment and find what works best for you.

 

[TransistorBass]

I'm going with more variety of music at the moment, I felt like I was listening to the same things during the experience and I didn't want to start making an association between the type of music and the experience even if I find things like Singing Bowls do fit with my experience.
