Sounds like you're in a good mind space for taking this big leap.

At the time I tried DMT the first time, I was tripping a lot in general, so the thought of a short but extra strong trip was enticing, not intimidating. Now, 20 years later, I'm a lot more intimidated by it... But I get more out of my experiences than I did when I was younger.

And because I was busy at the time with acid and shrooms, DMT didn't totally wreck my reality. It was already wrecked by that time and I had taken on a very flexible and adaptable belief system. Trying DMT the first time with no previous psychedelic experiences... You have to be hungering for a reality shift.
