Hello all! First things first SWIM wants to thank each and every one of you here on the Nexus... the wealth of knowledge he's gained about the amazing elf spice, as well as other entheogens, is astounding. SWIM cannot thank you all enough.
SWIM was first intrigued by demitri about a year ago, first learning of it from a wikipedia search lol after running across a page about Mr. McKenna. Over the course of the next 6 months, SWIM began as much research as he could... extraction process, experiences, anything, EVERYTHING. I've been a lurker here at the nexus since then, and finally decided that it was time to sign up.
After nearly a years worth or research, my friend (who was just as intrigued as SWIM) and SWIM decided the time was NOW!!! for an extraction. We had all the necessary materials gathered (including the wondrous separatory funnel) and went at it, about a month ago today actually. SWIU's first extraction went by rather smoothly, producing ~.2g DMT from ~75g of bark via STB method. The crystals were off-white, on the verge of yellow, but still nice for our first time. SWIU smoked relatively small doses (~15mg), albeit improperly (via water bong with DMT layered between herb), which produced a VERY nice body euphoria, but no OEV's. CEV's were very vague, but nice all the same. Fractals of light/geometric shapes, oneness with soul (as it seemed), feeling absolutely great. SWIM knew there was much MUCH more than this, and was very excited to see what more was to come in the future.
Last week, SWIM and his buddy did another extraction, with 50g of bark, with much better results. Pure white crystals are a beauty to behold, as we all know!! SWIM resulted with about .25g DMT, which he was very satisfied with. The time had come (yesterday) to see what divine moments of truth were to come, and we loaded up the spice in our bongs once again, using ash instead of herb as a bed this time. First dose, 20mg, nothing beyond what happened the first couple of times (at this point in time, SWIM had smoked DMT 4 times). SWIM was mildly disappointed (no expectations = no frustrations!), and SWIM and his friend invited another friend over to partake with us, to see his experience with the spice. We all decided on using pipes this time... and... holy fucking SHIT!!! SWIM's first substantial DMT hit was absolutely astounding. SWIM inhaled very deeply, clearing a small dose ~10mg in one hit, and held it in for about 30 seconds. Immediately upon exhaling, it felt like a lighting bolt of DMT surged throughout my body. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. Being a small hit, the trip was still worldly, and lasted a short amount of time, but was awe-inspiring nonetheless. I felt akin to a baseball, traveling at decent speed to the batter, and then... BAP!!!... hit it all the way to the outfield. I experienced very little visuals, but once again felt that amazing, amazing spiritual energy flowing throughout my body for a good 5 minutes. The after-glow is fucking fantastic.
Later that night, SWIM and his friend decided to smoke some more. With our new knowledge of what works best for SWIM and his friend, SWIU were ready for a decent dose. ~25mg of spice was loaded into each pipe, some beautiful, mellow music was put on, and it was time. After that first teeny little glimpse of what DMT truly has to offer, I was absolutely ecstatic, anxious, and excited for what was to come (which, come to think of it, is just like every other time!). As with all of SWIM's other DMT trips, deep breathing before the hit was a must, along with constant thought of respect, harmony, and love. The time was now. SWIM used his lighter above the DMT ash sandwich with great confidence, and was able to inhale the entire ~30mg at once, and held it in for as long as physically possible. SWIM doesn't even remember exhaling. He instantly sat back in his couch and felt that incredible energy surge once again, though this time it was as if a lightning bolt became attracted to SWIM's body and constantly rushed energy into it. SWIM was gone. He could not open his eyes one bit, and did not want to. He instantly lost touch with reality and body completely, experiencing the most intense closed eye visuals he has ever had in his entire life, period. It was beyond stunning. The sound of a nearby buzzing fan went from a low frequency to a loud, intensely high frequency that was overpowering, but not overbearing (possibly due to my complete and utter acceptance of whatever was going to happen). As this sound increased very rapidly, so did my CEV's. SWIM was traveling through what he can only think might be the pathway to breaking through (pre-hyperspace? whatever it was, it was fucking astounding), passing by intense, even unmistakable at the time, shapes and angles at breakneck speeds, with what seemed like a figure guiding me. It keep going, and going, and going, and SWIM had no clue what to make of it all whatsoever. He still, and probably won't for awhile, be able to accurately describe what the fuck happened. After what felt like eternity (my friend informed me it had only been a measly 20 SECONDS since exhaling), SWIM snapped back into reality, pipe still in hand, looked around, and mistakingly said "SWIM thinks he just broke through". It was the only way to accurately describe to his friends what he just experienced. After that, he was definitely still tripping, but with eyes open, and for the next 10 minutes just sat, looked around, dumbfounded by nearly EVERYTHING, with the greatest feeling flowing through his body, just as before, but magnified.
SWIM absolutely cannot wait until his next experience with DMT. He is currently awaiting the fruits of another extraction, which is sitting in the freezer currently. Gotta love freeze/precip.
Thanks again everyone on the Nexus, you all have guided me quite well. SWIM is excited to be an active member of this forum (forums are the best, after all) and he hopes to continue his knowledge as time passes on. He knows he will.
Love and respect!!!
p.s... my apologies for such a long winded post
