hey, I'm a new user here at the nexus and I'm interested in asking questions and talking to better understand both the methods of production and spiritual significances of dmt.

i found the nexus one lost night in college wondering what was to become of my life. this technician, who knew his computer console better than his neighbor, was feeling trapped between a party and a social science class. chemistry became an escape, not through the ingestion of active chemicals, but through the active research of their properties and interactions. In one night lost on the interwebs, I decided that this was my calling, to become a chemist and produce chemicals that no one else could, because they were illegal and difficult. I wanted to make MDMA and bombs and rework the world one molecule at a time.

as crazy an idea as it was, it stuck. I later came to the realization that mdma production is simply too dangerous and complicated for someone of my means, so I shelved the idea and looked for alternatives, anything to satiate my interest in chemistry, and came upon DMT and changa / pharmahuasca. Despite only a mild interest in this psychedelic tryptamine, and concern for what it would do to my brain, in a lonely hour, i shelled out $$ for all the required tools and ingredients and began my first production.

As i write, the final stage is precipitating out of solution and I'm wondering where to go with it from here. I'm nervous about my first experience with it, and I feel that although my conscious mind is able to discredit the nervousness, it still remains, and as a negative mental energy, i'm worried about the effect it might have. My experience with other drugs such as alcohol and marijuana have taught me that mental status greatly influences the effect of a substance. So I would want to wait until I feel confident, happy, and uninhibited before I try DMT for the first time.

But besides that, I'm wondering which method of administration would be recommended for newcomers. Low dose pharmahuasca, say, 200 mg tan harmine extracts and 70 mg spice freebases?

A couple hits off a mild changa mixture, say, 300 mg harmine extracts, 500 mg spice freebases, and 1g herb?
 
hello, & welcome to nexus:)

..i'd still recommend, for a cautious first time user in this context, vaping 20-40mg of dmt without anything else. (in silent darkness, or in quiet nature)
the short duration allows one to get a feel for it all. MAOIs require extra dietary considerations.
Changa (while no doubt pleasurable to some) is, from a "welcome to dmt world"point of view, an exotic natural cocktail of many entheogens/empatheogens etc.

a 'pure' n,n dmt trip will give you a shorter version, of what is slowed & extended (& expanded) when it is combined with other things.
MAOIs can also involve a lot of nausea and purging, which can be healing, but not necessarily the immediate clear insight vapedmt can produce..

happy wanderings about...

SWIM is in the midst of researching pharma themselves. If you go this route, be sure to mix your FB spice with coca cola or OJ to make it easier to ingest. And, from what SWIM has read, it is recommended to start with a low spice amount versus a higher one. Some report that they have good pharma trips off as little as 30-40 mg, others need quite a bit more. So if you decide to go this route, SWIM would definitely recommend starting off small and working your way up to a higher spice dose.

SWIM has used Aya before, but not pharma.. and from experience SWIM can say that their Aya experiences were more gentle going up to the peak than smoking DMT and peaking that way.. so you might be more interested in oral ingestion versus smoking.. hopefully that helps.


I have a question for you.. for what reason do you want to have an experience?
 
Since about 3 years ago I wanted to try hallucinogens. When I was 14 i experienced some sort of mortality crisis, where i realized i was going to die and nothing in this world would have meaning any more. it made me sick to my stomach and couldn't sleep, couldn't cry, just terrified, feeling static in the air everywhere. This was on no drugs at all, it was a week after hearing about planes flying into buildings in NY.

Ever since then this feeling creeps back every once in a while, almost taking me back over the edge into a state of total mortal fear, but I drag myself back with thoughts of important things in the here and now like love, and machines/systems to be understood, fixed, or created ;)

i am hoping that by radically altering my mental status, i will gain some insight to potentially solve that lurking crisis.

Right now I also recently moved to another city where I don't have many friends and I have been a bit depressed. I'm at a stage in my life where I have to decide who I want to be in the years to come and how to get there, and again I was hoping that tripping might offer insight.


So, oral administration for first timers because it comes on slower? Starting with a low dose like 30 mg, then if that does nothing, wait a couple days and try 1.5x or 2x more until noticeable effects are achieved?
