Thanks for the advice. I have considered that LSD and mushrooms would be a helpful way to 'work up' to DMT, but at the same time I have been reading about how DMT is actually something quite apart from these - related, but completely different in many ways.

I'm not so much interested in the 'trip' or the 'high' as I am specifically interested in the communication with the entities in 'DMT space' as I understand it. Would you guys say that LSD/Mushrooms are still worthwhile? I'm totally up for the trip but specifically it is DMT's uniqueness I am seeking, yes? Please advise
