Welcome,

I hope this forum can provide some of the answers you seek.

I am quite happy that you found DMT before using alot of other psycadelics.  I see too often that DMT is the last in a long list of mind altering substances used.  I am guilty of this maybe more than most.

DMT to me, is the end all be all of mind expansion and spiritual interaction and healing.  Ayahuasca, a possibly 1000 year old trandition uses the Caapi vine (containg the spirit of the Caapi vine, as well as harmala alkaloids making oral dmt active) and Chaliponga or Chacruna (dmt containing leaves).  This brew many find to me more valuable in healing and spiritual exploration, I am one of these. 

However, please do not misinterpret what I am saying.  Vaporized DMT has been extremely helpful to me in so many ways.  Whenever I feel a mood shift (seasonal depression, unresolved anger issues; rarely seen externally), or a personalty change for the worse I will predose with a small amount of harmine, and then vaporize a good 40mgs of DMT.  I have found that this basically resets me, like rebooting, clearing and defraging a computer, things run faster, cleaner, and the whole system is better off.  This is what it feels like when I "reboot".

Anyways, glad you found us!
