i used a glass pipe and put alot of screens in it, but plan on making q21q21 machine since the extraction tek i used went so flawlessly. and as far as ayahuasca, i do plan on trying it at some point in the future when i have a couple of days of free time to prepare/recover from the experience. the self inflection aspect of the brew is highly appealing to me since i spend little time in this world thinking about who i am, or how i should live. i understand interpretation is highly stressed here and agree that such a journey is pointless if not used to integrate the knowledge learned with daily life. i am an often lucid dreamer and also spend a little time after each dream trying to convey metaphors from within the dreams contexts. so ayahuasca is something i do plan on experience at a later date i just thought that 10 min journeys would be easier to digest than a full days trip. maybe im looking at it backwards i dont know.

i was wondering if while on the huasca if you can bring yourself to a semi sober state as i do not want to have to ride out a bad trip, i can handle the purging aspect or any other physical symptoms but i feel that i may  get trapped in the trip with no escape and if that is the case i would like a few short dmt trips under my belt before attempting such a long commitment.

also is there a big difference in intesity between the two, ayahuasca brew/dmt alone?
