Spice in an Electronic Setting

Migrated topic.

So the other night, my brother and his roommates organized a rave in their house. Some friends of mine incidentally came to visit for the weekend, and I had some acid in the freezer, so we decided to drop and go to the rave, knowing they had a fog machine, laser lights and a subwoofer among other things which would make the experience interesting.

Anyways, hours after dropping we finally made our way over to the rave. I could never understand why people liked to smoke DMT in electronic settings like festivals and what not, but being at my brother's house and all, I figured it was a relatively safe environment to experiment in, as I could always just smoke it in his bedroom and just see how it goes from there. I mean I've tried listening to it through headphones, and I've kinda seen the appeal, but still hasn't been for me.

So a couple hours after hanging around, mostly smoking copious amounts of weed no thanks to the acid, I decided to retreat into my brother's room with some close friends, the GVG and some spice I had extracted earlier that day just so I would have enough to do as I pleased throughout the day. So I sat on the bed loaded the GVG gave my friends some hits, and then reloaded it for myself. I took a couple rips, holding them in for as long as I could and what not and sat patiently, waiting for it to kick in (seems to take a few seconds extra on acid for the inhaled spice to take hold).

I closed my eyes and the first thing I see is a rather familiar vision of twirling DNA. The music was clearly permeating the walls and moving the visuals. I jumped up, and decided I had to throw myself into the heart of things. I'm usually pretty big on maintaining (that for myself) the true beauty is behind closed eyes, but I was pretty curious to see how the lasers looked, plus I really wanted to submerse myself in the music. It was at that point when I realized what part of the big appeal really is with the electronic music. My body was so locked in to that sub-bass, it was incredible. My body was resonating quite exuberantly with that bass such that the upper half of my body was oscillating in these swooping motions back and forth, and in my head with each slow pass, I would internally hear a vwoom...vwooom...vwoom. I mean I've had my body doing these involuntary oscillations with other rhythmic music, but never so exaggeratedly. That subwoofer really took hold of me, and it felt amazing --- truly euphoric.
 
I enjoy the parralels between indiginous practices, shamanic settings, group experiences, tribal gatherings with fire and music and ecstatic halucinogens...

and raves.

One often hears things said like... oh don't do DMT at a rave just take acid cos this DMT isn't recreational. I think that misses the point entirely.
My coming of age period was based around subculture festivals, group settings, highly amplified repetitive music and lots and lots of psychedelics. I would compare it to any tribal pre electricity, shamanic gathering in an instant.

I dont feel like i missed anything out, and while i certainly enjoy the lone, no music bed setting for say something like DMT nowadays. The rave setting didn't feel purely recreational.. or it did but that word describes alot more then just partying.

I hope i got my message through there.
 
In the end, it's all about intention. Whatever you are gonna take, just be respectful of the substance and the setting. As I'm sure you both already know. The only thing about smoking at a rave (not at your brother's house but a larger crowd setting with security presence) is I would be very fearful of falling over or something. I very much dislike being "that guy" who took too much something and is now screaming in fits at everyone with saucer-like eyes...in public anyway haha.

And as a quick comment on the state of raves these days. For the most part what I see of today's rave culture is a slow and steady death from what they original stood for, as capitalist promoters have learned they can squeeze people to make raves more and more massive; thus making them something to consume rather than experience. But that's just my 2c.

-peace and love
 
I don't care where or how people use DMT. I think it's a good thing to experiment. That's how we evolve.
Just don't do anything stupid that ends up in the media painting DMT black! That I hate.
