Dose: 50mg Harmala freebase, snorted.
15mg ish DMT freebase, smoked.
Last night I had quite a strange experience. The previous weekend I smoked some Changa through a small bong with a pile of harmalas on top and must have ripped it too hard, or had a funny reaction to the smoke, because the following week I experienced some quite serious discomfort in my chest above my solar plexus and on the left hand side of my chest. The day after I found it quite hard to lift things, and deep breaths hurt too. I had been taking Ibuprofen during the day and oral cannabis in the evenings, and was on the verge of going to the doctor. Over the course of the week it got better, but was still quite uncomfortable. I discontinued smoking anything in any form until this Saturday, when I vaporized some kief and a little weed.
Last night I snorted 20mg of harmalas, vaped a little cannabis and did some Yoga for about an hour, then snorted another 30mg harmalas before meditating for half an hour or so with my partner. I had a dose of about 18-19mg loaded up in the GVG, which she unsuccessfully attempted to smoke. I
thought she had got most of the dose, so parked myself next to my cat and proceeded to smoke the dose, thinking it would be a very small 5mg or so just to get me in the zone. As soon as I started smoking, I knew this was not the case, thick plumes of vapor travelled down the chamber and I decided to commit fully to what ever was in store for me.
20 seconds later I exhaled and was walloped in the face

. It was extraordinarily intense. A ball of energy was building in my abdomen and surging its way up my spine. Thinking I was only ingesting a tiny dose I wasn't sat in the right position to take this sort of hit and it crossed my mind that I was going to flop on the cat, so I leaned forwards, kind of like how you would if you were on a crashing plane:

the energy shot out of my spine and out of my crown. Was this what people refer to as a Kundalini rising experience? It was a rising explosion, that's all I know. I had a mini blackout at this point, dropped the GVG in the only thing I could focus on - my emergency spew bowl and coughed up some rather nasty smelling gunk from my chest. With eyes open, the persian rug in front of me had sprawled through the fireplace and was somehow now a stunning 3ft high 4d oscillating hologram. There were snakes crawling up the arm that I had coughed up 'the gunk', and I was quite disoriented but somehow calm and collected.
My partner asked me if I was alright, and I think I grunted at her. Now lying on the sofa, the effects started to wear off and feelings of bliss and relief began to embrace me. Formidable afterglow. Light playing behind my eyelids. Rainbows with eyes open. Lovely. What's this? My chest doesn't hurt.
I resume the meditative position and load another 8mg of spice into the Genie and smoke it slowly over a few tokes, focussing my awareness on my chest. I ask the medicine for the following: Love. Healing. Light. Help. It dawns on me that I haven't been treating my temple with the respect it deserves. Excessive alcohol intake. Smoking cigars. Long working hours. Not enough excercise, my joints often hurt and my flexibility is poor. I'm in my late 20s but at times feel like an old man. Something needs to change. I have been given insight, relief from my pain, and importantly, another chance.
This was by no means an easy journey. The harmalas amplified and synergised with the DMT exponentially. I am thankful that I didn't smoalk my usual 25mg, but as I have come to expect with DMT, it is not me that holds the reigns. There is something 'more' going on with this stuff - self regulating. You get what you need when you need it. I don't mind if it kicks the crap out of me from time to time because I know ultimately that it's for my own good. My cannabis consumption will stay down now. I will not abuse my body with alcohol, and I will repair my temple with Yoga and Meditation. Ayahuasca is calling. This is just a taste. Bring on the future me.
