I've recently started trying Changa (40% DMT) - previous psychedelic experiences limited to LSD (~20 trips), not counting weed (10 years, love it but never felt that psychedelic to me) or MDMA (only a few times, again didn't feel psychedelic at all).
Biggest question is... when I smoke, I feel this pressure building in my head. It's uncomfortable but not exactly painful... it feels like there's a build up of blood pressure. Don't know if that's the actual cause, or just my imagination. But it distracts me - I don't generally get anxious on any drugs, but I find it hard not to keep thinking "is this OK? Is it OK to smoke more?"
I'm only smoking in joints (either on its own or with a little tobacco) - I don't have any pipes/bongs around and since I've quit weed, and am soon moving somewhere where I won't be able to smoke anything indoors, I can't really be bothered to go buy anything.
Typically I aim for 100mg - 150mg of changa (40-60mg DMT) to get through, knowing that some of it will burn off in between tokes. But the pressure comes pretty much with the first effects, within 10-20 seconds.
I also get slight shortness of breath, but I think this is related to anxiety caused by the feeling in my head - I can deal with this no problem just by taking long slow breaths (same as I've dealt with anxiety the couple of times I overdid coke and weed at the same time...)
I've never broken through... the strongest experience so far (I've only done it 3 times) the room around me started pulsating and changing colors a bit, but it was mostly visual... visually it felt like a really strong acid trip to me, but mentally not much happened. And I was very aware all the time of what I was doing / why I was seeing things.
What I would like is.... either to be able to enjoy those sorts of visuals without a.) the nuisance of physical issues and b.) therefore worrying about them during the trip and/or to be able to break through.
Can anyone give any advice at all? Thanks
