Hello
I am a failry experienced psychonaut. I've been taken various psychedelics (mostly LSD) for the last 15 years.
I have a high tolerance for DMT: I need at least 2 to 3 times bigger dose to have the same level of effects that my friends have. I've smoked at least 5g (maybe 10g) in the last 3 years, but not been able to breakthrough yet. So I've had a lot of light and medium trips. The weird thing is: all of my DMT trips have the same structure and I'll try to describe it here.
Levels
There are different levels based on how much I take. These levels are mostly follow the same rules.
1) light open-eyed visuals, bleak shapeless close-eyed visuals, no entities
2) a bit more open-eyed visuals, colorful CEVs, some entities appear, improved cognition and memory, mindfullness
3) translucent "scene"
3.5) colorful "scene"
4) physical "scene" (characters can interact with me physically)
4.5) same as 4 but world becomes distorted (not 3d anymore)
5) out of body experience
6) probably breakthrough here
I don't know the exact dosage, so I'll measure it in 10-seconds puffs with my old KangerTech vape without MAOI. One puff is level 2-2.5 (and a 5 for my friend), two puffs is 4-4.5, three puffs is a breakthourgh I guess. The problem for me is that starting from some threshold dose smoking more doesn't work. So if I make a 10 sec puff, 15 sec hold, 10 sec puff, 15 sec hold, then I'm already at the threshold and I can't get to the higher levels.
Scenes
A "scene" sometimes feels like I'm watching a movie. It has characters and a script. Often it is based on what I'm looking at or where I am. For example one time I've smoked looking at the tree outside the window and the scene had two tree-human-creatures that looked like the characters from the game Don't Starve: a man on the street running around and a woman inside my room looking at me and smiling. Sometimes characters speak but it's really hard to concentrate and understand the words.
Entities
Almost every trip I can feel the presence of some foreign mind. And almost every time I cas see some geometric pattern right above me. Sometimes these patterns repeat and one of them appeared in at least 10 trips. It looks like a twisting pyramid. I think these patterns represent which entity is currently here. Also low-level CEVs are different depending on the current entity. Pyramid-guy often shows multiple images twisted into one point or a white space with some twisted geometric shapes. Some entities are hostile. Recently I had a few trips when I felt threatened like the situation is dangerous to me. Also there were CEVs with the pyramid-guy's space but the shapes were puking at each other (wtf). I had multiple trips in which after I smoked I felt extreme bodyload and I knew that I needed to lay down. After that bodyload always had disappeared. In these trips the geometric pattern is always the same. I think it means a cleansing of my mind or something.
Reality altering
For me this is the weirdest part. Starting from the level 2 any object can be altered and will be perceived by me in a new way as if it has really transformed. I mean not only visual but I can feel it with my hands. Most of the time it happens with my vape when I get to the threshold. In one of the attempts to breakthrough at the third hit my vape transformed into a gun, shot a bullet into my mouth and then some flags appeared inside the tank celebrating the victory.
Interactions with other drugs
If I smoke the weed before DMT, then the next 2-3 days I have more dmt-like visuals from the weed alone. LSD + DMT is much more interesting. It looks like most of the dmt visuals get recorded and stay for at least an hour after the entity is gone. Last week I did a medium LSD dose + pharmahuasca (300mg moclobemide + 100mg DMT). Event before I took pharmahuasca I had a record of the pyramid-guy playing mixed with some lsd visuals. It was really weird for a lsd experience because it was stable for the whole trip (usually I see some random visuals changing every minute or even in the matter of seconds) and I could feel it with my hands. Then after DMT kicked in I had a very NSFW level 3 experience. Dicks everywhere and stuff. Trees, pictures, cartoons, movies, games - all filled with dicks. My wallpaper was a masterpiece depicting sex in various art genres for at least 3 hours.
P.S.: I bought a new vape (aegis solo + uwell crown 4) recently and managed to smoke too much. I've had a blackout for 10 minutes. I guess it was a breakthough but I don't remember anything. I had a timer opened on my phone and it showed that I was away for hundreds of years
