My experiences with 4-AcO-DMT have been wonderful. Similar to mushrooms, but a little bit different as well, it's missing a little bit of something compared to a mushroom experience, imo, but it is still definitely a useful tool.
I don't experience any body tension when I ingest fungus, but I did notice there was a lack of euphoria for me with the 4-AcO-DMT. I find if you like mushrooms, you will like this compound. Visually, classic tyrptamine patterning and a beautiful enhancement of color. With 30mg peoples faces were illuminated with jewel like gold balls, cascading from their ears...hard for me to explain. As for most of my experiences, when I wasn't in a trance state, I was very aware of my animal body, and had an extremely positive body image perception, completely animalistic.
4-AcO-DMT is actually my favorite synthetic thus far.
“The most compelling insight of that day was that this awesome recall had been brought about by a fraction of a gram of a white solid, but that in no way whatsoever could it be argued that these memories had been contained within the white solid. Everything I had recognized came from the depths of my memory and my psyche. I understood that our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us, and there are chemicals that can catalyze its availability.”
