¡Om Namah Shivaya¡ Im Jack

[Jacksonsh]

Hello everyone,

I’m new here and wanted to introduce myself. I recently joined the Nexus because I’ve developed a deep interest in psychedelics and the broader conversation around expanding the human mind. What draws me to this space isn’t just the substances themselves, but the ideas and perspectives that come with them—self-reflection, consciousness exploration, and the possibility of using these experiences to become a better, more aware person.

I also come from a Hindu background and have a deep respect for the spiritual traditions within Hinduism, particularly my devotion to Lord Shiva. The themes of consciousness, transformation, and the inner universe that appear in many Eastern philosophies resonate strongly with my interest in exploring the mind and understanding reality more deeply.

However, I’m having a hard time with breaking through. If anybody has any ideas, I’m trying to figure out a way to get all of my smoke in one inhalation if anybody has any ideas, please help me?!?!?!?

Glad to be here.

Jack

Welcome, let us know where you are at with your experiences so far and how you are smoking your Spice?

I read a little bit about Hinduism a while back, it seems like a very sensible religion around the subject of drug use. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it like: "Don't do drugs, but if you have to do drugs, do them carefully and with respect".

But yeah, let folks know what you are smoking it with and how much you are using?

DMT for me is a slow meandering journey, no rush to break through, look out the windows and enjoy the view, we'll get there eventually.

Hi Jack,

Welcome to the Nexus.

I'm also curious about what kind of device you are using to get the material into you?

Having said that as far as I can tell the key to breakthrough is getting a large amount (20 to 50 mgs) of DMT into your system very quickly. It's important to make the first hit the biggest one and to hold it as long as comfortably possible. Then don't waste any time. Take a quick recovery breath if you have to but then immediately repeat with the biggest hit possible and a nice long hold. Basically, you just repeat this until either you or the room disappears.

Welcome to the forum, @Jacksonsh. Nice to read your introduction, I hope you will stay around and share your experiences with us.

There's loads of useful information here. Best thing to do is just spend some time reading the various threads here, you will pick up a lot. I'm pretty new to this myself. I was in a similar place to you just a month or two ago, struggling to break through at first, but it just came down to needing practice with the vaporiser. Now I have a different problem, which is not being able to remember breakthroughs, which I am now working on. Such is life.

A popular alternative seems to be making e-liquids and vaping the freebase that way. I haven't tried it myself but again, absolutely tons of info here, it's an amazing resource.

I would be fascinated to hear more about the interaction between DMT and your spirituality in future. I'm not a Hindu, but I have recently been reading about the goddess Kali. Her name kept sort of cropping up to me, and things came to a head on a recent mushroom trip. Not a goddess to be involved lightly i'm sure.
