I've had several sessions in a floatation tank, one on a low dose of LSD, and I can confidently say that it is one of the best environments to be in if you're intention is to break though. Meditation experience really helps too- thoughts, as well as senses can be distracting.

Hmm...but where would you put yer pipe down?

Just a thought : Imagine blowing out of your mouth and into the tank, 50mg of DMT, with scatole as the primary breakdown product.... I am not sure if the smell of poo in such a confined space would be very palatable... or aid in relaxation for that matter

id love to try acid in one sometime for sure, but with a dmt breakthrough, i usualy have no idea were i am on earth anyway, so being in water would only be a danger, not a benefit!

after smoking DMT in the weekend i was talking to a friend how interesting it would be to try floatation tank idea. i would love to try this + with drugs would make it amazing.

Love the idea of floatation tank and will be sure to try it

Wow you're really thinking things through! Hope you actually build it!

Float tanks are amazing! I had my first experience this week, and I'm already scheduled to go again, only this time ima gettin high. I feel like it could get intense quick if you were on some psychedelics...but if that's what you are lookin for, plunge away friend.

I feel like pharmahuasca (particularly with minimized nausea) could probably be the most effective in an iso tank just (for myself I'm imagining anyway) cause on acid or shrooms (especially acid) I feel like I would just wanna squirm around and get out of there the whole time. Pharma can be so immobilizing, that I wouldn't think it to be as large of an issue.

just be careful in these isolation tanks, you could revert into a primordial ape man and start eating local zoo animals during unconscious nighttime rages

Breaking through with a pipe in the float tank would be impractacle for several reasons:

1) No where to set the pipe
2) Risk of pipe sitting in water while you're in hyperspace (you want that salt water as clean as possible)
3) Distracts from the experience of the tank

You would be much better off using a mushroom tincture/tea or pharmauasca, or any other entheogen with mimimal to no side effects on your digestive system.

I don't think he's trolling you, just poking a bit of fun. Trolls don't make it to member status here at the Nexus.

I was gonna ask if anyone here has seen that.

You cannot say what is and is not funny. It depends on the person. I myself found it funny, and kept on reading the thread unimpaired by the joke.

Relax.

And yes, trolls (and hostile individuals) don't make it to member status... trust the system.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny. Lighten up! There's a lot of pranksters and goofballs on this site. Humor is social glue. The only way I have made it through life maintaining what little sanity I've been graced, especially when it comes to my entheogenic endeavors, is with a sense of humor.

As for the float tank idea, I had just been thinking about this! We should have a float tank experience thread. There's a float tank center near me, and I'm planning on giving it a try. I'll go sans entheogens first and later with entheogen. I'll have to see how the place works out, but I'll be doing either mushrooms, or mescaline as I am most familiar with these two.

MomentOfTruth is a solid member. I actually thought his joke was pretty funny.

In fact, Altered States was my first exposure to the idea of psychedelics and float tanks. It inspired me to read Center Of The Cyclone by John Lilly (whose work Altered States was inspired by) and then start messing around with tanks.

I lived in Chicago at the time and had some friends who owned a float tank place. My art was hanging in the lobby, so I felt very comfortable and at home there. I started out sober (or just high on weed) for 60-90 min, but ramped up to 4 hours on 500ug of acid over the course of about a dozen visits.

I never broke through in there. Had some very profound experiences though (tried 3G shrooms too). Stopped time in its tracks. Awesome.

But: minimal visuals. Also, the survival part of the brain remains cognizant of the water factor (make no mistake: you could end up floating face down in one of those). Some variables remain. And it takes a lot of mental work to tune out the much-amplified little things: salt drying on the skin, itching. Tiny messages from the bladder. Elbows floating awkwardly, pulling at the shoulders after a couple hours (rectified this by making elbow weights with socks and fistfuls of coins).

If you really want to try DMT in a tank, I'd recommend vaping while sitting up with the door open, lights dim. Keep a sitter in the room to take the pipe and make sure you lie down in the water the right way, facing up, and then they can close the door and listen for excessive splashing (in which case they should check on you). DMT will erase all sense of what's going on around you, and because of the water factor I think a sitter should be absolutely mandatory for safety purposes.

incredible is'nt it splifey , lighten up

I know it seems like it sometimes...but go outside and study a flower for a while...then look up at the stars...suddenly it transforms into heaven...
Then burn that into your memory banks and recall it when things looks sh*tty...

Worry about your own 'tunnel'...others will sort themselves out...

The Planet will carry on and heal when our species has died out regardless...

We are fleeting...

dude...it was a little funny joke by a member, not a troll. your overreacting big time. chill out

i really recommend not taking a small joke on an internet forum so seriously

"All i know is that if your honest with yourself , you would admit that we're in hell"

maybe your just in hell because your overreacting to minuscule jokes and taking things WAY too seriously?

"your precisely as big as what you love and as small as what you allow to annoy you"

I'm well aware of the extent to which a human nervous system's reality-tunnel can be conditioned and programmed by experience, the media, ect ect. So spare me the lecture.

For all your preaching on love, you sound pretty fueled by anger and paranoia
