first off ide like to say hello to the dmt nexus comunity. SWIM is really interested in trying dmt soon but he still has a few questions, but first let me tell you a little about SWIM, he is pretty new to tripping and has only smoked salvia once. SWIM thinks dmt may be a spiritual and life changing experience and possibly help him overcome a troubled childhood. what do you guys think? Is it okay to smoke dmt while on SSRI's, i understand aya or taking an MAOI is out of the question. Would it be okay to just smoke in your bedroom? or should i have a better setting? and what do you guys think about music on your first experience? sorry for all the questions im just new, Sean

Welcome to the Nexus. You should be fine to smoke DMT on SSRIs, though some report that it may dull the experience a bit. My bedroom is the main place I smoke. It's a great place to smoke, but it can be nice to get a change of scenery every now and then. Just tidy up, maybe create some kind of ceremonial space for yourself. The music is up to you. It's a pretty complex topic when you really get into it, and I wrote a whole essay (that's somewhere) in regards to listening to music with DMT, but to make a long story short, if it's a song you typically enjoy, then it'll probably be good with DMT. What music did you have in mind anyway?

im really not sure, i was thinking trance/techno. is it uncommon to take a xanax a bit before blast off to relax?

A couple things,

Dub step is pretty heavy, I feel, for a dmt journey. The best experiences I've had are in silence or with very mellow, calming music.

Also, the feeling of complete detachment from your body is a common theme in dmt trip reports. Feeling as though you died can definitely occur.

What happened during your salvia trip?



Warm regards,
Wearepeople

okay, just simple relaxing music then, when i smoked salvia i was not told it was going to make me trip, it was a very uncomefortable experience. i took a HUGE toke of 20x salvia from a rather large pipe with a blue butane lighter. after i took my toke my cousin took the pipe. i started walking backwards a few steps not really knowing what was going on, i ran into the fridge. i stopped walking but it seemed like my vision kept panning out until i left mybody, saw myself standing there. my vision kept backing up at a steady rate, everything around me was white and i saw the room and myself getting farther away and smaller and smaller until everything was gone and i was in a pure whiteness, i was very terified and kept saying "am i going to come back? am i going to come back?" i started coming back from my trip, my aunt was holding me by my sholders a few inches from my face saying "sean, your going to be okay. its okay sean, your going to be okay" but really all she was doing was scareing me, her face and the wall seemed to blend together in a 2 dimention form. she let me go and i looked at her huge white wall that i had been looking at. and started feeling like i was in 2d with the wall and i had to pull myself out. as i was coming back it was like me slowly pulling myself from the wall back into my body, overall it was very intence and scary. i wish i was told what it was going to do to me and also should have asked. i thought it was weed at the time it was given to me by a relitive that just said "becareful" and lit it up..

How old are you? You write like a teenager...

im 19, but does age matter if its given proper respect and used for a spiritual experience?

Age matters if you are a minor on the site. Glad to hear you're not.

"i thought it was weed at the time it was given to me by a relitive that just said "becareful" and lit it up.."

Sounds like a real piece of shit. Just saying.

im sorry if i explained my salvia trip poorly, its really hard to explain an intence trip.

i no longer talk to this person and felt i had some pretty negitive side effects at the time being rather young when it was given to me

No. Please read the forum rules before posting further.

If the only thing you've smoked is Salvia, you may want to consider other experiences (LSD, mushrooms, etc) before jumping straight into DMT.

witch tek would you recommend for your first extraction?

SWIM can absolutly not find mushrooms in his area, and the LSD is dirty. Mushrooms seem to be a bit much to grow

Do NOT discuss 'finding' things on this site.

And who's SWIM? He's not needed here.

Again, read the Attitude before posting further. There's a link in my signature.

thankyou, just read that. should have earlyer

Xanax would blow or greatly impede any tripping you would want to do. If you have too much anxiety before trying a substance start REALLY LOW dose and work your way up.

I agree with others who said you should try mushrooms or LSD before diving into DMT. Become acclimated with the effects and experience. Overcome your fear from that botched salvia trip and then MAYBE dive into DMT if you can overcome your fear without taking benzodiazepines before or during tripping.

Taking benzos for a trip should be a last ditch effort if you REALLY need to escape. But, many would say that there is something to learn from a "bad trip" and you shouldn't avoid it, I would agree.

No rush, work your way through the fear on less intense psychedelics and you will move on to DMT when and/if the time is right.

Many of the members here seem to think growing them is easy. Try ordering some spores and start your own grow box (assuming it is legal where you live, of course). There is plenty of info here on the Nexus, and from what I understand it is safer/easier than extracting anyways. If you're willing to put in the effort to extract, growing shouldn't be out of the question.

DMT is the (or close to the) pinnacle of experiences you can have on psychadelics. Just as an amatuer rock climber is not ready to tackle Mount Everest, no one with only 1 trip under their belt is ready for DMT. Start with a different substance and work with that first (I would recommend mushrooms. Very beginner friendly IME). Start low, do lots of meditation. Write down your thoughts. Gain knowledge and wisdom from other plant teachers.

It may be that you are not able to work with anything for a while. Be patient. These things take time.

I think I may wait a bit longer before trying dmt. I'm going to look into mushrooms as I've also wanted to try them. I've just been very interested in dmt an felt the spirit molecule has been calling to me for a few years now
