Who is also not smoking DMT?

[Exitwound]

I think it is seven or more years since the last toke for me.

Who else feels that "these lessons were deep enough"?

How are you doing overall? Do you miss your trips? I sure do and no substance (besides probably shrooms) has taken me so deep with such ecstatic levels of pleasure. But it can be too wild in the jungle.

I find it crazy I had this period in my life, when daily spice smoking was fun, and admire/slightly envy courage of those who still dare.

Just because it feels therapeutic to share here.

It's been almost 6 years for me.
During my last trip I was shown the universe and all the planes of existence it was made of, and a feminine presence (that I associate with ayahuasca) told me something like "See, you don't need to search anymore. What do you want more than this? Now you have to act in the world."

I miss psychedelics too. When I think about those years I think those times were wild and magical. I can't understand how could I overcome the fear every time I decided to take DMT or another psychedelic. But I guess I had too many questions and wanted to know the answers. Nowadays if I decided to trip it would be just for fun I guess, but fun is not enough to overcome the fear of having a negative experience.
Or maybe it was just me being young and more carefree.

Is it the same also for you?

I've been with it almost 10 months now, but i just want to say, Exitwound, That i appreciate you describing the insane pleasure you can get from it.
You don't hear much talk about the physical benefits but in my experience it seems to be a powerful healer, physically.
I suspect it helped me heal from at least one physical ailment, perhaps two.
It's like it charges the body with stardust, you know what it's like when you smoke a load you can hardly move.
I enjoy smoking it with canna vapes. Hope you find more folks to chime in, take care.

It has been years for me too, no clue when was the last time.

Being so busy with work, family and all, is a part of it I guess, but I do sneak in an oral psychedelic (ayahuasca, mushrooms or mescaline) every few months.

Vapped DMT has been amazing, the sheer absurdity and mystery of the experience has definitely marked me forever, and I will forever be grateful for it (and might come back at some point just to say hello to the elves again). That being said, I feel that vapped DMT is just too fast paced to be able to get many meaningful personalized lessons from it. I rather the gradual build up and slow comedown of an oral psychedelic experience, which allows me to learn from it and bring something useful back to my daily life.

Salvia Divinorum was once on my to-do list but never actually happened, although i wasn't totally apprehensive having tasted LSD in quite some distant past. All i can say is that i've embraced every moment and shall never regret those besides having brief moments of nostalgia. LSD was an experience i consider being very lucky to have enjoyed with such quality and yet being able to move away with no unsatisfied void left behind.

Of course this hardly compares in terms of duration and possibly of nature too, but in retrospective i wouldn't want a change of path.

I smoked dmt and changa several times to use it as a movement into oral methods of absorbtion. So no, I'm not smoking dmt. However I am finding it continuously useful orally for help in life as well as a great source for connecting to what feels like something monumentally meaningful.

It has been 10 months for me, last time was loveburn 2024, but those where not deep experiences. Back then I used it with sublingual harmalas and an electronic vape which allow for a slow come up and gentle surfing. It also feels closer to nature and love with the harmalas for me.

Can't remember the last time I went for a deep pure DMT experience. Been years I think. I haven't felt the call to it, but I am thankful for those experiences.

Other than *very* small sampling of processes which I wouldn't even count (barely felt), it's been at least 6 months. And, I'm pretty new to this.
I've learned a lot. But, right now life has some stressors and challenges where I'm quite aware of what to do. The path or paths are clear and there is no question or soul searching needed. So, not in learning mode. Git 'er done. No distractions.

Anyway, question.
I might sample some cactus or other oral pych if I find time. I've never done Ayahuasca.
Is Ayahuasca in moderate doses as "serious" as vaped DMT is or can it be used as something to enjoy nature or music like cactus or mushrooms?

 

[dithyramb]

I have never smoked DMT. The only psychedelic I have ever smoked is salvia and I doubt I will ever do that again. I am "oral" medicine all the way. I am open to one day creating a smokeable form of my "asiaminorhuasca." I doubt I would do it often or even at all in the long term.

 

[Animistic]

Funnily enough I've gone from not being a huge fan of vaped DMT to using it more regularly. I only ever have it with oral harmalas and it's very similar to Ayahuasca to me, though not exactly the same but my commitments lately mean that finding a whole night where I have no responsibility is tricky to come by, an hour or two, not a worry.

Ayahuasca can be really overwhelming or very chill, great for enjoying nature/music enhancement. So can vaped DMT, it just depends on the dosage. That's where brewing a big batch and dialing in your dose becomes very useful.

Ok, good to know that I am not the only scaredy pants. I have done a few pharma trips telling myself I am working up to another DMT breakthrough dose, probably mid-next year. I set a date to do 5-MEO-DMT and that date came and went. Feel kinda sad about that one. I get so much out of the oral experience, I'm not sure what more there is to get out of smoalking it.

 

[Voidmatrix]

While you all know I'm a regular of many ROAs, I likely always will be (oral is great and I'm exploring it moar, but there's something about smoalking and about combining the two), I love this thread.

For those that have that all too familiar trepidation and hesitation, you're felt and heard. It's a bit of a battle every time.

Sometimes conquering our demons means becoming friends with them, welcoming them with compassion and open arms, giving them something to thrive in a moar productive way.

One love

Ahh I feel this post.

Been a rough week. Your view on demons hits deep.

In my experience oral has never been chill beyond micro, it has always been deeply transformative and at times quite challenging to my psyche. Notably I suffer from cPTSD and have some degree of delusion.

With that said, starting low on the oral route has been very chill. For me, a LOW dose (4g rue / 1.5g acacia) was quite powerfully full on. 10g acacia would have been cataclysmic without a lot of grace by greater beings. 5g would have required a great deal of concentration and steering of intense energies.

Take care and I can intimately relate to life stressors and challenges.

I took a break once.

A long one.

When I came back, hyperspace/ DMT said...

 

[Kobranek]

It's been almost a year for me. I've been called many times since then and have heeded the callings.

Interesting how the relationship changes once the honeymoon is over. It takes some challenging experiences to gain the reverence and respect that develops over time. It takes more work to keep pushing for breakthroughs.

I have to take a mushroom or lsd journey at least every six months to reap the benefits of preventing my migraines from starting up again. The longer in between journeys the more emotional baggage surfaces. I used to smoalk dmt for every journey but have refrained lately to give space for the lsd or psilocybin to do its thang. Oral dmt has been calling me lately.

I have not had any urge to do DMT for a couple years now. I used DMT as an escape for a long time, just like smoking weed and drinking. I had to address my escapism and live a sober life now. I can credit DMT with this decision to be sober, like I got a message I guess. I feel like I can be seen by some as boring AF now but that is ok. Lost some friends because I stopped these escapism habits of mine. I hope to do it again some day but I am in no hurry. I am still working on getting into a good headspace. It's a process that takes time.

I enjoy knowing that I can access the experience anytime I wish. Weird how comfortable it make me feel knowing that I can do DMT anytime even if I choose not to. It's like an old friend waiting in the wings should I need to visit.

It made me feel good reading through this thread. Very validating for me.
