do you guys agree with my consensus I've made that once I've reached happier times in my life I'm ready to try dmt again. I think I'm ready, the people around me say otherwise. I will be living in a car seeing how things go after I finish living in the house I live now with my faimly only concerned about themselves. I don't have the cash to sleep in some shitty car and pretend its a house thats my only life goal rn then after that ill eat some ass or somethin. i have an nice relative i might be able to go to but ill lose all my current friends the only thing i care about.

No one can tell you if you are ready but you. I have been practicing a lot of classical yoga, various limbs, changed my diet, changed behaviors, I have not had a bad day at work in over 2 weeks, I feel vibrant, my skin feels cool and electric, and life feels easier and easier every day. I recently made an incredible batch of changa that I am dying to try, or would be if I let myself think about it too much, but I do not feel ready to try it. Maybe deep down I just have no desire to visit that space right now, or maybe I still need to work on something, maybe there is one little piece of a lesson that I still have not figured out, and so I have a certain spark of dissonance that I can feel and has me a touch uneasy to face the void again, or maybe something else requires my attention. Who knows? Something isn't quite right for it though, for me, and so I'm not even thinking about it because I will drive myself crazy until I decide to jump and then will probably just shut myself out lol.

I don't know what makes it the right time for another, or for myself even, not really. I do have a pretty keen sense of red flags though and when I should probably being doing something else with my mind and time. It sounds like you have some things to work out in the everyday waking world and maybe attend to that until you are in a comfortable enough place that you can give your attention to the medicine. But then again, maybe not. I think for harm reduction's sake, the best advice you are going to get around here is take some time to work on you and your circumstances. The reality is that we just don't know, but it does sound like there are pressing matters to attend to and maybe hyperspace can wait while you handle that. It's definitely not going anywhere.

This pertains to your "set:" mindset.

I find that "being ready" isn't about temperament, affect, or mood, but rather, "is one ready to do the work?" Are you prepared to engage with what may come up for you? Are you prepared to ride and handle a potential difficult experience? Is on ready to hear or see difficult meaningful thinga? Is one prepared for the necessary integration of the experience that may be needed?

Best of luck in your difficult times my friend.

One love

Maybe the time you most need DMT is the time you think it would be least fun to take it... Except maybe being chased by a tiger, or in a dark alleyway.

Not a suggestion, just food for thought. Personally I feel like waiting until your life is perfect kinda:
1: will leave you waiting forever
2: makes the DMT superfluous

Very good point and could also have something to do with why I am less and less willing to fly as I do better and better in life. I don't need it so I am not pursuing it, maybe. Also another example of how only you can decide when it is right for you.

I think another important question to ask is "what is the intention?". What would be the purpose of visiting that space? Curiosity, adventure, exploration, healing, learning ... what is it that you want, and what are you willing to do to get it? Those are big questions that can lead to intense experiences if you focus your intention toward them.

I can't recommend you, yourboi, to do the one way or the other, but here are some thoughts on the subject.

For me the deciding factor in whether to take dmt or not is the question am I ready to take in the lessons it gives. Taking DMT impulsively or just to feel excited is usually a bad idea.

In order to learn from the lessons you need to have relatively peaceful phase in your life so that you can calm yourself and have time and energy to reflect upon the experience.

What I usually do is I set some date in my mind and when the day approaches I remind myself to stay on the plan if nothing urgent pops up. I try to sleep well, eat healthy and tidy up my home to be physically prepared. Then I think of my intentions. Why I think this is a good thing to do and what is it that I seek from this experience.

You don't need to be in especially good mood or feel especially well-prepared, but I think you need some determination. The more clear your intentions are, the more focused you can stay during the experience, even though what you get might be different from what you expect. I think it's good to exercise focus and determination by setting a plan and then following it through. After the experience you may need to adjust something in your mindset or setting, but it's part of the learning. Sometimes the answer is that you need a break.

One adjustment I have made in my use is that
I have switched from vaping dmt to taking pharmahuasca. This is also something to consider: does the ROA I prefer suit my intentions?
