Hi

Just wondering if anyone else experiences the same thing.... that sometimes DMT doesn't work for them?

I have some DMT, and some Changa. Both used with stellar results only 48 hours ago. Today - having just vapourised the same Changa with added DMT - I feel the effects of the Harmaloids - but nothing from the DMT... at least no visuals whatsoever.

Not that this is particularly bad, just unexpected.

This has happened before - last year, for a period of months, smoking DMT would have almost not noticeable effect whatsoever.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar, and whether it could be down to something I have eaten, or done differently that may have this effect.... I've had a coffee, a tangerine and a banana today, so nothing exactly out of the ordinary!

Now would you kindly refrain from opening multiple threads?

Also https://www.dmt-nexus.me....aspx?g=posts&t=7412 no one wants to stop any discussion but a quick search for an existing thread is asked.

Both these threads are about Breaking-through. Not about having no-effects whatsoever. Which has been discussed and is a known phenomena. It is strange but it is common. Try meditation, breathing exercise. etc.

Sometimes life itself does not give enough motivation and input to energize the body. I believe that is what it boils down to. The molecule not having any energy to work with. I may be royally missing the point here. I don't know. It usually happens for me if i smoke for a second time in one setting. But it is usually like you said also very unexpected.

Tikhal - I'm not sure I follow you - "refrain from opening multiple threads"?

As Infectedstyle pointed out - the links you posted are about breaking through. I was talking about it having no effect whatsoever. I'm not sure that those churlish responses were necessary, considering you don't appear to have read my question properly, but each to their own I guess.

Infectedstyle - maybe you're right, it's just a gentle reminder from our deep unconscious not to take it for granted...

I read your question before replying first time and the same factors are relevant and apply to all dose sizes.

I think the thread that you linked is worth a read, DreaMTripper. I don't intend to step on anyone's toes or start an argument but OP's question might be a little to specific to do a proper search on.

The user _FOOL_ mentions a nice method for making sure DMT is absorbed more quickly to ensure breakthrough. That is worth a shot, atleast. But I do not think that is of help when there is no effect to begin with. And upping the dose is probably a big no-no. But if for spiritual reasons we can have no effect. That same spiritual force is hopefully a forgiving force when a big dose is accidantilly administered to the ego.

I've been in this predicament ! Are you on any other medication , and how often do you smoke ??

Very true a search probably wouldnt have brought that up I should have worded my post differently so apologies for that macguyver.

Personally I think another main reason for the reduced effects comes from the fluctuations in our neurotransmitter activity. Maybe as an evolutionary mechanism to stop visionary practice during the day? When we should be hunting, foraging or bonking.

No worries DreaMTripper... that's a good point... perhaps our bodies periodically spike Monoamine oxidase enzymes as part of a natural cycle?

I agree with both points. Except if there's a spike in MAO there is a way to break the cycle and that is by practicing mindfullness, thorough living in the moment etc. I do not think that spiking is supposed to be natural at all.

One could postulate this question further and ask why sometimes one does not get effects from Psilocybin, MDMA, and strangely; from my experience one can also have no effect from salvia divinorum for a longer period of time. Or have trouble pushing past the threshhold with salvia even though psilocybin's effect seemed to be undimished.
