Tips for first dmt experience?

[Zoot]

Hey people. First time comming across these forums, and i gotta say, its a great community u got going on here.

anyways, Ive been learning about dmt for about a year now. ive read the book "dmt: the spirit molecule" along with many other insightful videos/personal experiences online. I smoke weed a few times a day and im quite experience with mushrooms as well( few times a year). Id say im fairly familiar with mild psychadelics. which hopefully will help me with my first dmt trip.

IM a bit nervous to try it for the first time. but its more of a possitive kind of nervous. I will be sure to take into consideration the set and setting factors.

now my question to all of you is: is there any other essential information or tips that I should know before I try this? also, What is the best method to use for the first time. In the book i read, dr. strassman was administering dmt doses with a needle, but I dont know how comfortable I am with using one. id rather smoke it but ive heard that the effects are nowhere as strong.

What are your thoughts on this?
I figure u guys will know best and not lead me astray.

Thanks for the info in advance!

hey bro!

first of all, welcome!

Nothing can really prepare for a dmt trip but then again, your previous experiences are also very important Its good that you are nervous, it shows respect too, which is important. Even those that are already very familiar with the molecule still have a certain apprehension before smoking...

Check the FAQ, specially these two questions, they might help
What is the best smoking method?
What is the best setting?

Good luck with your experiences, do tell us how it went!

Extraction may look daunting, but in reality it is a very easy thing to do!Good luck my fellow Canuck!

The FAQ thread that endlessness linked you to is a very good resource =)

For me personally important things for my experiences with DMT is-

- I get very comfortable- I lay down on my very comfy couch or bed with a lot of pillows propping me upright enough to smoke from a bong, I turn on very quietly some rhythmic, down-tempo psytrance to help ease and calm my mind- I find it very soothing (my preferred track is loving music by saafi brothers) then briefly think of my intention for smoking it whether it be learning, clarity etc and think happy thoughts =) hehe I know thinking happy thoughts sound a lil cheesy, but getting in the right headspace is important for me. Nothing ever stops the rush of nerves and adrenaline which is mostly just out of respect for the potent psychoactive, but I try not to feel 'fearful' per se - but open and willing to learn and be guided. Though yes people are very right in saying nothing can ever quite prepare you for it, it's like being launched out of a rocket.

Oh and I find a bong with water in it is really quite smooth- I'd highly recommend it, everyone has their own preferred methods and there is some debate as to whether DMT is somewhat soluble in water- but I find because I can pull it so much easier then in a pipe or something else- any difference that would be made is so marginal it doesn't make a difference in terms of the strength of the dose. In a little bed of herbs and I find I barely even notice the taste or harshness of the DMT =)

Goodluck and happy travels!
Peace x
