So, to give a quick background; I've been interested in / taken psychedelics for the past three years, but have only gotten into DMT in the past six months or so. I've taken low doses of LSD a few times and I've grown and eaten shrooms for two summers now. At first, tripping was just a fun thing to do on the weekends occasionally; but as I researched more and started to do more work with mushrooms, I started to see the whole psychedelic experience as something sacred, rather than just a high. I've done a bit of reading on DMT, and read a couple of experience reports, and it seemed like something I should get into.
So a few months ago, I ordered some MHRB and did a STB extraction. The first extraction went almost perfectly, rendering perfect white crystals. The second extraction was a bit of a disaster. I spilled my jar of naphtha when removing the second pull from bottle. The worst thing was, my first pull was in the jar as well AND I'd used most of the 250g bag of MHRB. Either way, I had a pile of white crystal and some naphtha I managed to save, plus a third pull. Woo!
The first few attempts were doing the "herb sandwich" thing using weed and smoking eyeballed amounts of crystal. I did this three times the first night. It was intense and enjoyable, but there was a lot of stress and the MJ we used was really harsh, so I felt like I was choking for most of the time. My partner smoked twice and the second time broke through, but vomited. She took a massive rip and held it for ages and ages, then coughed on it halfway through exhaling then didn't stop coughing until she lost the contents of her stomach. This scared me a little bit, but she had an excellent experience. She said she was told emphatically not to come back for a while, but she really enjoyed it.
A week or so later, I smoked again at a friend's house. This time, I used damiana in the herb sandwich and it was a lot better. My friend and I sat down and we talked for a while before I smoked. I felt really relaxed and at ease. This time the experience was better. I was really calm, the smoke was smooth and soothing. I took on board what was happening and felt amazing afterwards. It was a very positive experience. This is the last time I smoked DMT, about four months ago.
Since then a lot of real life stuff has happened. I've moved, started studying and am in a much better frame of mind than I was in previously. I'm on a two week break from my studies and everyone in the house has left for a week or so; so I have a good opportunity. Before I moved, I infused all the crystal I had into some damiana leaf, so I won't have to worry about the herb sandwich thing. I've started reading a book called "aya: a shamanic odyssey" by Rak Razzam and it's been making me really keen to smoke, but the pre flight jitters still exist.
It comes down to this: I have a large bong, and that may make it hard for me to take deep lungfulls of DMT smoke. The last time I smoked, I used a smaller bong and it was much better. I have a little pipe, but I think the smoke may be too harsh. I am also a little nervous about the intensity of the experience and being able to let it happen around me and not fight it.
How do I overcome these pre flight jitters? If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear it.
