question for experienced users

[Aviator]

I've smoked quite a bit of DMT. It seems to me that my trips have been evolving over time. It seems like I'll have trips similar to one another for a time and then there are these quiet and bland experiences for a bit and then a new type of trip will happen for a while.

It seems now I'm having consistently disconnected and just plain confusing trips. It seems a bit negative. I mean it's all the same batch and smoked exactly the same way.

Does this happen from time to time to anyone else?

Might be a good idea to take a small break and let things settle back in. The trips can be very very different each time, but it seems like a lot of people start getting mild effects and then they start getting negative ones. When that happens a break will do you much good.

I agree. I just smoked though and it was the same negative experience. This time though it went on for a long time with lots of oev. I got the negative feelings and I just said, "Teach me..." (as a student) the negative feelings still came. I closed my eyes and saw evil looking faces. I see them a lot actually after I blast off and close my eyes after...

Anyway, I looked right at them and declared, "I am loved." I kept repeating this and felt a central energy somewhere "out there" that I was connecting with. I repeated it over and over and felt bright positive energy swell up and out from I side of me. I used this to push away these evil looking faces. It felt amazing and I had the hugest sh*t eating grin on my face that wouldn't leave. I could feel energy flowing out from my smile. It was cool.

But I will actually take that break for a while. Good way to stop on a positive note though.

Try taking a break , try switching your location
Try adding caapi leaf or vine to the mix .

Same batch can sometimes be a real variety of
Experiences. Sometimes it's attitude sometimes it's
Some kind of cold virus lurking in your system .
I notice weird results if I'm rundown or tired beforehand .

Clean out your smoking device too.

I think before I do this again I'm going to clean up my DMT too. I've been using whatever came out from STB extractions. So, I'm going to make it as pure as possible and try it with those leaves. I haven't really looked into them are those some sort of an MAOI? I'll change my setting and whatnot too. Right now I'm in a bit of a transition between jobs so it's a little stressful. That may have something to do with it.

I don't think a break is necessarily the answer. When you come back to it, you may not have anymore negative experiences, so it may seem to be the answer, but the way I see it is you're having those negative experiences for a reason. I believe the DMT experiences evolve the way they do in part because of how our inner self/inner state (not just your mood, but things deeper than we are aware of in regular waking sober states) and there are things to be learned from the negative experiences just as with the positive ones.

If you feel you should take a break, by all means take one. But don't just take one for the sake of escaping the negative experiences. Quitting when the going gets rough - in any area of life - can cause you to lose out on potential opportunities.

It took me many negative experiences in a row before I learned what I needed to from it - things I already knew about myself and my life and the way I was living it that I had basically blocked out and/or forgot/pushed to the side.

That's just my experience though...yours could be totally different, and a break could be the best thing to do - just wanted to put all that out there. Best wishes to ya

Haha yeah, I hear you on that. I don't like give up hence going again right after that last negative trip. Before the very last one I said, "Well, do what you gotta do [DMT]. If it's going to be crap then do it. Let's just see how this goes." The last one was a bit of a battle. It felt amazing to fight off that negative energy but that's not something I want to have to do again right now.

I do feel the best thing to do right now is take a break. It seems right now DMT is stressing me out. I don't need that. I've gone through this with weed before. It started to stress me out that I was high all the time and couldn't get the things done that I wanted to get done. So, I quit for a while. I came back and now weed and I are good friends again. I suspect the same will happen with DMT.
