Good to see things going nicely! We're all awaiting the final weigh in with bated breath
Now you have the adventure of Routes Of Administration (ROA), or the race to get enough DMT into your brain before it gets metabolised.
Because there are many factors that can confound this goal there are many ways of mitigating them, many a time you'll see posts declaring the "one true way" followed by "Doesn't work for me!" posts. Be sure to read all through ROA threads as many are a record of evolution of a specific method or tool.
Here are some basic vaguely structured bullet points, lots of detail all around this site.
- DMT is quickly deactivated in the body by the enzyme MAO (MonoAmineOxidase)
- Because of this, eating it straight has no effect because MAO in your gut gets it before it's absorbed.
- Pre consuming an MAO Inhibitor (MAOI) enables it to be orally active which can lead to hours long potent trips, Ayahuasca style.
- This practice is often known as "pharmahuasca"
- Common MAOIs used for this purpose are Harmine and Harmaline, found in syrian rue seeds and Ayahuasca vine.
- Be very aware that consuming an MAOI can lead to serious medically significant interactions with other drugs, see here: Known substance-interactions and their effects - DMT-Nexus Wiki
- Inhaling DMT vapour bypasses the gut enzymes and will lead to the famous "ten minute trips".
- You can combine vaping with oral MAOI beforehand to prolong and change the experience.
- This can be as simple as holding a few grams of syrian rue seeds under your tongue for a while before vaping.
- DMT decomposes under strong heat, which is why smoking it like hash is very inefficient, most of it burns and just contributes a nasty taste.
- Ideally a gentler heat of around 200C will vapourise the crystals without burning them.
- The modern electric way to do this is to use an "e-mesh" which is a strip of stainless steel mesh used as the heating element in a rig normally used to vape nicotine juice. A modern vape battery (or "mod" ) will have power controls to make not overheating it easier. Here's a good lot of information on an external site: Minty Love - Emesh
- Another electric way, which is much less failure prone, but more difficult to get breakthrough doses, is to dissolve DMT freebase in vape juice and use a normal "sub ohm" vape rig to inhale an aerosol of DMT. i.e make "DMT juice" instead of nicotine juice.
- Down sides are:
- You need at least 250mg freebase to make a handleable amount of juice ( 250mg in 0.5ml is just about doable, 500mg in 1ml easier to handle ).
- Dosage is approximate at best, you don't really know how much DMT per toke you are taking in.
- You need to make the juice quite strong to achieve breakthrough without many long puffs.
- You might need to buy vape kit first.
- Up sides are:
- You can't overheat your DMT this way.
- You can experiment with short or long puffs to vary the dosage, you might not always want to visit other dimensions.
- you don't need to reload between puffs, so you can just keep on puffing until you're where you want to be.
- It's very portable and outdoors friendly.
- looks like any other nicotine vape, so pretty stealthy ( apart from the smell and your reactions to the vape! )
- Non electric ways include various pipes, from "crack pipe" oil burners to made for the job pieces like the Glass vapour genie (GVG)
- Upsides:
- made for the job of vaping crystals.
- Will deliver all of your weighed out dose quickly.
- Downsides:
- There can be a learning curve to getting the heat right, beginners report burning quite a lot before dialling in the technique.
- You can end up with hot glassware in your hand just as you are entering hyperspace, thigh burns are not uncommon, I've heard.
- This is where having someone to take the pipe out of your hand as you slump back into the chair helps a lot!
- Then there's "Changa" which is mixing DMT with an MAOI and coating that on smokeable herbs.
- Downsides:
- It's pretty inefficient regarding burning DMT
- Smoking isn't good for you
- upsides:
- Very party friendly, you can just pass round a changa doobie ( to people who know what they're getting!)
- longer and smoother effects due to the MAOI
- other herbs with synergistic effects can be incorporated in the mix
- A bong can be a good way of getting lots of changa smoke down you at once.
- If you weigh out the ingredients when making then you can have a good idea of how many mg of DMT are in your dose of changa.
Wow, bit of a brain dump! Hopefully no woeful inaccuracies in there. Certainly lots of missing detail... search around for the full story on each method.
