Report:

It has been at least a month since working with the molecule on normal level doses. After my last experience I realized that I was having trouble letting go due to the sheer intensity, and foreign environment that was being thrust upon me but after taking a bit of time off, I felt ready to start up again.

Me and a trusted friend (one who truly respects DMT and seeks insight) decided since it was Easter Sunday, that we should go to "church" at least once. I packed a light bag with a towel, the machine, and a few breakthrough doses pre-measured with my trusted gemini and we set off towards the woods behind my apartment complex. The sun was starting to get low in the sky and the air significantly more cool when we finally settled down in a nice location and began our pre-launch meditation. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were distracting me and bringing me back, but finally moving forward I decided that the time was right and the "bic was flicked". All 35mg were inhaled in one take, woo!

The onset happened in mere seconds. In an instant my body was "yanked" for lack of a better term and was being stretched in all directions. I lost all sense of time, but not myself. It all started with a geometric lotus at the "bottom" of my closed eyelids. It exploded into a new 3D area made up of the typical grids of a new vibrational feel. The color was grey and a faint green and my conscious awareness was right in the center.

It's funny, I always forget what the style of hyperspace is like until I'm right smack back in the middle of it. "Ah, I remember" I narrate to myself. Across the background of the grid visions slides a white spirit, which goes as fast as it came. The last month I have been meditating and working on letting things go that are beyond my control, and my work did not pay off throughout the entire time I was uncomfortable, but I did make progress as I was not flipping my shit in my head as I was the time before. I was sitting down calmly, but not enjoying anything about the alien world that DMT never fails to bring.

As I opened my eyes I had completely forgotten that they were even closed in the first place. "That was all behind them?" I thought to myself as I laughed and looked around the woods. The animals making sound, the wind blowing through the trees, the pine-cones littering the ground, "we are all one of the same", and it was never more clear than that moment.

Notes:
I have been working with DMT at the sub-breakthrough level for a very long time, I have only had one breakthrough where I left my body to have hyperspace and myself become the same. My favorite sub-breakthroughs are the ones where I have legitimate VISIONS. But usually, I am only presented with the surrounding environment that leads my to say "I don't want to go further, this is enough for me".

After the experience I laughed at myself with a mixture of disappointment, "what are you even afraid of? nothing happened!" and after reaching baseline I am a bit more eager to go back, but I will stop myself and continue to meditate on the importance of 100% completely surrendering to the experience. My relationship with DMT hasn't even started, but I will continue to build it up in good time and hopefully, teach my ego to accept what I really need without the fear of the unknown.

I can relate to many things you have written here. After 4 years and hundred's of dmt vaping sessions I really dislike the blast into hyperspace from freebase. I left dmt for close to a year at one point just no longer comfortable with the rapid onset.

What helped me and gave me dmt back was using heavy harmala and dmt infused changa. The onset is much slower, you have complete control of how deep you go and you have unlimited working time to intake the substance allowing you to be comfortable as you drift into hyper space rather than thrusted in.. not too mention you can stay at your desired level practicly as long as you desire by re hitting the pipe or bong as you come down.

Ill probably wont see a need to vape freebase dmt again. For me changa is IT. harmine or caapi copy, caapi leaves and some dmt. Thats where its at for me. Once I vaped with harmalas I knew i found the best way for me to work with dmt. I cant beleiev it took me 4 years to try it,

Thank for the response, Oly.

Honestly..this was something I needed to hear, people are such advocates of harmalas and MAOI use to change the nature of the experience and it is something I definitely need to begin my work with. I will be ordering Caapi immediately so that my next batch can go right to that. I have only been working with enhanced leaf to better store the DMT because I would always waste spice handling crystals.

The rapid onset is a bit frightening and uncomfortable, but I can not lie the experience itself was pretty uncomfortable. No emotional feelings came with it, just a big reminder of what it is I want to work with.

I am already ready for next time though, just want to integrate and get all that I can out of it.

Thanks brother!

What you can also do is take around 20mg of harmalas sublingually ( I use caapi extract ) 30 minutes before vaping dmt. Some people vape haramalas before smoking dmt. This way it is much more manageable.
