Often people describe the 5-MeO-DMT experience as non-visual or just very slightly visual. This is, of course, an enormous difference from DMT. Also there's no 5-MeO-DMT in Mimosa Hostilis.
I, myself, am a little curios about the effects off this DMT-cousin. Since they are not visual... what are they? :?
It’s a little visual. It’s not completely without visual effects. SWIM sometimes gets swirling effects from it, nothing major though. There are faint visions that he’s had on it as well, mostly dark and distant, no color.
One time SWIM had what seemed to be a “remote viewing” experience on sublingual 5-MeO-DMT where he was viewing people in another country taking on their lunch break. It was as if SWIM was there but could not be seen by the people. This experience looked COMPLETELY REAL. It did not look like a visual effect or dream of any kind. It looked real. If SWIM didn’t know it was impossible, SWIM would swear 5-MeO-DMT allowed him access to “remote viewing”. But SWIM doesn’t believe such things are possible and assumes it was a “vision”, but it was more real than any “vision” SWIM ever had.
5-MeO-DMT is a very fascinating compound. It’s best taken sublingually though. The best source is Virola theiodora resin which can be used sublingually as is without any special extraction needed. SWIM has gotten lazy about doing extractions and now uses Virola resins for most of his DMT and 5-MeO-DMT experiences. Virola theiodora resin gives a 5-MeO-DMT trip while Virola calophylla resin gives a DMT trip. Both work as is sublingually without doing an extraction (except you need to mix Virola calophylla resin with 6% calcium hydroxide or it doesn’t work well).
If you’re interested in 5-MeO-DMT and don’t want to bother with an extraction, SWIM recommends using Virola theiodora resin sublingually. 500-1000 mg of resin is enough for a mild and very pleasant 5-MeO-DMT trip.
5-MeO-DMT has a lot of similarities to LSD. It’s somewhat like LSD with most of the visual effects removed. It also has some similarities to mescaline which are difficult to describe. The euphoria and body feel is similar to mescaline. It’s NOTHING LIKE DMT. Just because it’s 5-MeO-DMT, don’t expect it to be anything like DMT. It’s much more like LSD than like DMT, and worlds apart from being even remotely like 5-HO-DMT (bufotenine).
It’s an experience that is unique and despite a lot of the horror stories you hear about it, SWIM uses it sublingually, and by that route its VERY NICE. It’s on par of LSD. SWIM hates it smoked though. Smoking 5-MeO-DMT is just a horrible experience, unless the dose is super small. It’s like being shot in the head with psychedelic bullets or putting your brain in a blender. It’s horrible that way. Just horrible. I can’t see how anyone would enjoy smoking 5-MeO-DMT.
