ive accidentally burned dmt a few times in my bowl, smoked resign from it, and have never had a negative side affect from it. i do clean my pipe quite often but ive gone quite a while without also. from the "little" experiments ive done ive found out imo a bad dmt trip is only caused when you dont relax and let go. i live with quite bad anxiety but i find dmt extremely relieving once i come back.
i have had an extremely bad trip from dmt(clean and fresh bowl), bad feelings, like i was going to die, hard core panic attack feeling with a morphing stomach of nauseousness. i was extremely hot and sweaty just like the panic attacks i get on a normal basis. once i had this really bad experience, i wanted to know why this time was so much worse than anything else.. there were a few factors that were different that time than others.
i ate some greasy food and had a full stomach before the trip, i smoked a lot more than usual, and i had a bit of caffeine earlier that day. caffeine makes me on edge and anxious, and before the trip i tried breathing and meditation but still had that hard beating feeling in my chest and was on edge.
since then i have eaten a ton of food before a trip and took a xanax to stay calm, perfect trip. ive tried the same dose or higher, also on xanax, and had a perfect trip. i have burned dmt and smoked dmt resign since then, also with no bad side effects(except sore lungs). i have not yet tried to purposely get anxious before a trip but i have purposely tried to stay alert, and it makes me nauseous and makes my mind start to race and my body gets pretty tense. once i relax and let go, all the negative feelings go away.
hope that helps, i havent had a bad trip again since
