Hi all!
I've been a lurker here for a few years. During that time I've explored altered states mainly through LSD and mushrooms. Those are challenging molecules and I've had to reevaluate everything I thought about the world up to now. I've also had some experience with DMT, but I've always had trouble breaking through. This site has been immensely helpful in my explorations with DMT, both factual information and the subjective experience. I recently had a very powerful experience with DMT that made me realize there is something to it far beyond what I thought. I'm not sure how exactly, but DMT seems to negate and transcend all the other psychedelic experience I've had, and sober reality, and even the DMT experience itself. So I felt like it was time to join here and explore a little more deeply. Looking forward to being here.
Peace.

Hello cubic,

Welcome to the Nexus. It's great to have another long term lurker sign up for membership. What do you think of the recent changes?

Here's a great link on breaking through and what to do if you are having trouble:

This is a great section https://www.dmt-nexus.me...lt.aspx?g=forum&c=20 especially the smoking and changa sub-fora.

If you wanted to say a bit more about things like dosing and smoking techniques you might get some direct feedback in this thread. In my opinion, the DMT breakthrough experience is well worth pursuing.

So, I'm curious - have you had an opportunity to extract your own DMT?

Okay, looking forward to seeing you around as a participating member rather than just "Guest," . Again, welcome to the Nexus.

Hey,

Almost all the DMT I've ever had has been self-extracted, varying from mediocre quality to what seems quite good. I just haven't been able to get it consistent.

I think the problem may be mainly with my smoking methods. All I've ever had the chance to smoke out of is a regular glass bowl, hovering a lighter high enough above the bowl to hopefully not burn off the DMT. I had one opportunity to try using The Machine, but I must have been doing something wrong, because I thought it was really harsh and I didn't get what felt like a good dose. I've been using 50-75mg as a dose, so there should be enough material to break through.

I'll check out that topic.
