Hello All,

I came upon this fantastic community a little under a year ago, with the intent of finding out more about DMT and to consider if it may be the right thing for me. I've spent a great deal of time learning from all of you, and I'm grateful for all of you and your experiences with DMT. I obtained a pound of MHRB about 6 months ago, and finally took the time to do an STB extraction. It went very well, although I botched the first pull something awful and lost most of it. After I had a little system down, it went much smoother.

I finally completed the entire process and came up with a little over 6 grams of fluffy white crystals with a slightly yellow tinge to a small portion of it. It was good and dry tonight so, not being able to wait until I received the scale I'd sent for, I put a small amount (I'd wager 30-40 mg) in my VG and sat down on the couch.

I bowed my head, said a small prayer to the universe, and took as big a hit as I possibly could. Seems I did the entire bowl in one shot, and damn did it hurt. I laid the pipe quickly on the table and immediately found myself regretting that I didn't have a partner there to reassure me. It came on like a freight train! A high pitched whine, like a machine in my left ear was pressurizing, and the room began to change, swirling all around me, patterns emerging and disappearing, a small, dark figure peeked at me from behind a stereo speaker, and then disappeared. My body was extremely cold and I couldn't move my arms. I started to panic and felt very anxious, but I clung to the knowledge that these experiences are short lived. I could hear some voice from right behind me and it felt as though someone was holding a string above me that was coming directly out of my head. I ws certain of it. Very weird.

This was the most intense 5-7 minutes I'd ever had on a hallucinogen! I'm an older guy, and I've done my share of hallucinogens in my time, though it's been decades. I come away from round one knowing this is a very powerful substance, for a moment I felt as though I was dying. But, here I am, and I'll be trying again. The idea of hanging in there for a breakthrough is completely unnerving!!! But, there I go. Thanks again to all.

Yeah man totally! DMT can be very very overwhelming the first few times you do it; especially at lower doses;

It seems for me The larger doses are more comfortable because there is less time to freak out and think its just so amazing;


I guarantee when you breakthrough and just see the impossible becoming possible it will change your whole ideas about life forever!


When i brokethrough; I Literally thought i had died; and i always tell people do NOT take dmt unless you prepared to literally "die" but then be reborn into who you REALLY are....

I think DMT is the most intense spiritual experience any human can have on this realm of existence

Thanks for sharing your story. I know first hand that giving it another shot after a damn scary first trip is tough. My first trip was a stupidly (long story) strong oral dose. It was full of fear and terror.. and it wouldn't stop for what felt like several lifetimes. All in all it was only around 5 hours, but for most of it I thought I did die and would never again be 'me' or human.

It was hard to decide to go it again at a low dose, but I'm glad I did. Take time integrating what you felt and saw the first go. It helped me a lot to understand that while I was terrified, that terror is what colored the whole experience. DMT tends to show you what you need to see not always what you want to see. It is a great mirror into yourself.

Good luck with it and welcome!
