Vaporisation is getting the most efficient effects from the smallest amount of alkaloid..
in some ways i find 'enhanced leaf' both a waste and a cop out to be honest..
could you explain in more detail why you feel the latter nen? I have heard people say this for two reasons.. the first is potency, which I don't quite gel with as I think it all comes down to vaping technique, the second is the experience of a more pure plant expression which I do however gel with
..enhanced leaf is perfectly capable of being used resourcefully it just needs to be vaporised properly...it works when smoked, yes, but only due to a larger amount of alkaloids present in blend...for example you may be burning a small amount- but since there is more alkaloid present in the dose one may still be achieving a 50mg intensity experience .... this is a waste in terms of the destruction of alkaloids but I don't think the experience could be labelled a waste. It is definitely more resourceful to vape properly but this this doesn't only apply to freebase.
I very much enjoy soaking my alkaloids onto acacia phyllode and always break through in one hit if i make at a 1:1 ratio... a lot of enhanced leaf/changa is made in weaker ratios which is the reason why people dont achieve such deep experiences (or at least "deep"in the sense of a completely out of body breakthrough)...full spectrum too can easily be evapped onto a bit of herb and all of the effects will still be there if vaped properly, just slightly modified due to the presence of the plant matter... and if made strong, the amount of plant matter used is minimal.
I feel it depends on the intention of soaking the dmt onto the plant matter.. mine was so that I could use bong as it is an easy way to administer a high dose. I have been connected to the ritual of smoking from the bong for a while so I geuss that manifested into my dmt experience. Others make blends with the intention of having more chill and recreational experiences (i see this a lot in the doof scene over here).. which I think is an odd way to use a chemical that requires such deep surrender -having said that I think weaker doses have a role to play in having a more bodily aware experience
..anyways I've just built my first "machine" so I will be exploring the realm of pure (in the sense of lacking other plant presences) extracts for a while.....vaping pure alkaloids is not an area I really have experience as I have always been keen on the idea of using my beloved water pipe, but I have received deeply powerful and meaningful teachings from enchanted phyllode and wouldn't at all call them cop outs... they were experiences of earth shattering intensity and very much shaped my relationship to plants, bringing me much closer to them
