Hi

My first post new and just thankful that there appears to be a place online where I can read sensitive, sensible and credible info about DMT.

Having experimented a couple of decades ago with various psychedelics I thought that the idea of me “tripping” was long since consigned to an ancient history.

However, through a number of channels I had over the years heard about DMT and, having retained a healthy curiosity on such topics, added the mental note to keep my eyes and ears open should that opportunity ever come round.

Unexpectedly, a few weeks ago a friend mentioned that he had acquired from a friend-extractor that he had some DMT in the form of Changa and would I be interested to try it with him.

With little knowledge of what to expect I did some reading up in terms of how best to smoke it and away I went with the expectation of having an experience somewhat akin to LSD or Wiltshire’s finest Liberty Cap even if that seemed somewhat contradictory to what I was reading of when it came to DMT.

Half an hour later having experienced and comedown from the unexpected chaotic, liquefying visuals and intense vibrations I was starting to nascently understand the difference between the seeming triviality of those previous experiences and could feel myself set on a journey to start exploring this far deeper than I had ever imagined I would in my mid-40s.

Four weeks passed between that first experience and setting the scene for myself to enjoy a whole evening and to my mind a much more controlled session ie more comfortable surrounding, better pipe and vaporiser.

That night (last night) convinced me of how wonderfully powerful, intense, terrifying, enjoyable, unique an experience it is and that I feel at the start of an unexpectedly interesting and potentially amazing period of my life.

There is a huge temptation to describe it but there are clearly plenty of better descriptive writers here so instead I’ll spend my time reading those rather than at this time merely adding to them. Perhaps I’ll manage that at some point in the future, in the meanwhile, “hello” and I look forward to being a member of this forum.

Welcome.
Yes, very important to respect the spirit molecule + ideally ceremony in an environment conducive to having a deep, meditative experience.
In Love + Light

Welcome! Yup, just turning 40 myself and just learning to walk in hyperspace. Hard to prepare for such an experience huh? I don't know how many trip reports I read before I launched, and not a million reports would have given me a clue

Thanks for the intro... Good to have you here

Hello ghf,

Welcome to the Nexus. That was a great introduction - thank you so much.

There seems to be more and more of us psychedelic "re-entry students" showing up here and it makes me very happy. Just another aspect of diversity and depth real-world experience. I first tried DMT at age 41, a lifelong, cynical, burned out, atheist and to put it mildly, I got my metaphysical socks knocked off.

I would love to hear more about your first experience. Sure there's lots of descriptions but the more the merrier in my opinion. I mean part of what we are trying to do here is "map hyperspace." .

The Nexus is in a period of transition currently, with the main plant source no longer being available to us. Lots of hardcore research is being done on finding new plants, teks, etc. as well as growing at home from live starts and/or seeds. Nonetheless, I cannot recommend extracting one's own DMT enough. I do hope you will get an opportunity to do this sometime in your future explorations.

I hope to see you participating actively. I look forward to learning more about you and your experiences. A very warm welcome to you.
