REPORT

This is from my first successful extraction of DMT. When I do things, I always do them well. That is why before my extraction even started I collected the right tools for the job. A GVG and Arc torchlighter, check. From what I have read, it would be nearly impossible to smoke it incorrectly with this tool. This turned out to be very true, besides slight issues with the size of the leaf bed needed to absorb the DMT and how to get it placed in the center of the bed all went smoothly. 3 people (my twin brother, and a friend from work, as well as myself) were able to successfully blast off with no issues and no prior experience with doing DMT. Now to where my questions begin for experienced travelers. My friend experienced what she described as "quite intense visual patterns and hallucinations". My brother and myself taking the same dose had little to no visual change. Just very very strained images. I tried to come into this experienced with no colored taste as to what would happen, I insured my brother the same experience. In his and my past we have both found that we have little to no visuals with any psychedelic. This including very large doses on other psychedelics to the point that all other effects were too intense to think about pushing the envelope further. From my first step into hyperspace, I felt as if I were dropping from one of the gravity rides at Six Flags. Very intense, rushing feeling. It was very a very foreign experience. Very different. I was wondering, if with my dose or if others period, have found DMT to have not as much of a visual effects? This being the case that the vaporization technique is on par, and I am very sure I am getting the full dose I measured. Which could be off by as much as 2 mg or so. How would more experienced travelers advise me to take my next steps?

Thank you for the read, and I apologize for the long winded wall of text. Any and all advice, kind words, or criticism is warmly accepted.

I have some friends who have said DMT isn't very visual for them. I would administer it to them, and I know they had sufficient doses and that they were sufficiently MAOI'd up even, and I could see they were getting giant hits that they were holding in for enough time, but for some reason they described it as little more than a feeling. I think it's inherently more visual for some than others, but I think the more you do it, the more visual it will get. It seems like your brain makes new connections with each experience such that upon repeat experience, it has an easier time easing you deeper and further along. I want to make sure I get this straight. You loaded up 16 or so milligrams for yourself? How many hits did you take and did they look milky?

I felt the same way with some other psychedelics. Like they were testing my fortitude and patience. Yes, 16 miligrams for myself. Or around that much. Every bit was vaporized, au hits were milky. I took one huge hit, then one more. The third hit I took for extra precaution because I felt the impending trip but it was no more than just vapors from the Pau D'Arco bark (which I must say, when vaporized it smells VERY VERY familiar...I believe like mimosa brew or mimosa bark.).
