Yeah, I'd say it's worth more experimentation.  SWIM isn't sure if he actually enjoys the experience either.  Sometimes he does, more often he's just "Errr this place is really weird, existence is not as I thought it"- the feeling of being in this alternate reality can be very unsettling sometimes.  Then afterwards, when he's come down, he feels the love/excitement/vibrations.

The life-changing is not during the trip. there's little thinking involved during a smoked trip, but after.  With aya then repressed problems and realisations do emerge, to be worked on in sober life.  SWIM has never tried pharma- DMT+THH- but is looking forward to one day.

It feels like a chemical change to him... but then an emotional change IS a chemical change anyway.  LSD and shrooms opened his mind to possibilities and ripped apart preconceptions, but didn't cause emotional changes.  The reverence that DMT instills is another unique experience in his eyes.
