Serious question. Just wondering why people do it.

Same reason I get out of bed in a morning. There's just so much out there

What a question...
Obviously because people want to heal themselves and to grow spiritually.
That's at least me.

smoke some and find out

The molecule calls, it sings to me the story of life. The molecule confirms my place in the universe, the molecule confirms my existence, not as Joe the plummer, but as part of all that is god. I am the universe and I am alive forever through eternity. I do DMT because of the teachings of love and the loving thought and care that I am welcomed with every visit.

Because plants have interesting things to say.

Why wouldn't you....if you could?

more important:

Why asking that question?

importantly more:

Why do you do it.

People definitely do it for different reasons. My reason is that I'm just madly curious about the nature of consciousness and like Coatl said plants have interesting things to say
I just love to see things that are out of the ordinary. And I think nothing is more out of the ordinary as DMT.

the quest for knowledge.

the doorway to eternity

to receive teachings about the nature of existence..
and to learn about universal love, the creative force of the universe.

why not?

So you just do it cause youre bored on your couch?

Yea, pretty much

I mean, when I look at what most people do in general, it seems aimed at filling the hours between dawn and dusk. Growing, extracting, exploring and researching entheogens is something that I both find fulfilling and occupying. So, for that reason alone I could say it interests me enough, I'm curious, why not explore it?

It wasn't so much a question of why I was going to do dmt as when. For me, the why of why do DMT lies somewhere much deeper than DMT, along my own curiosities about existence, nature, and reality. The question posed is answered by the reasons I'm so fascinated and awed by the psychedelic experience in general.

Besides, I think we can all agree, with a little spice you're definitely no longer "bored on your couch"

Referring to SWIM's preferred method of sublingual THH and vaporized DMT: SWIM thinks of it as sort of a neuro-supplement. Generally he considers it in a somewhat transhumanist sense, but then there's also a very primal level to it. It's incredibly irrational and intoxicating and full of energy, but it also seems to augment SWIM's inward perception. For SWIM, it's like experiencing the beast-like and god-like aspects himself to a far greater degree of awareness than normal.

Straight DMT's a bit different, for SWIM it's like a glimpse at the primordial encoding of his mind in it's most raw form, devoid of rationality, yet somehow beyond or even within the irrational. Sometimes SWIM can catch a glimpse of archetypes, but it's usually difficult to know what to make of it. Yet, somehow SWIM feels that he's rearranged something in his mind after strong experiences, though he can't quite explain how or what.

So overall, it's a venue for enhancement, exuberance an exploration, and perhaps it instills a sort of veneration for our world, our origins, and the enormous complexity of our inner-workings.

swim does too and your second response sums up the why pretty good

Not doing so, once one has the knowledge of it, would be akin to not opening up the greatest book you could ever read, or should I say feel

So beautiful, and so true.

Why do DMT in my words?

Do DMT to explore that which is already in you. Do DMT to explore that which is amongst many living things. Do DMT to comprehend the beauty of existence instead of the pain of narrowed visions.

Because it's amazing . It's incredible what the human mind seems to be capable of doing, or what the other universes have got to show us . I just love exploring what the brain can show to us or make us think/feel.

No possible way I could say it any better than that.
