Today was my first time trying dmt. I read all about it knew what was going to happen (roughly). I made whats called the machine and used about 50-60mg of dmt, the machine was supposed to vaporize the dmt but instead it set the dmt on fire I must have done something wrong in the smoking process. Anyways, the dmt caught fire I decided to smoke it, I inhaled the putrid smoke for about 5-10 seconds after which I almost threw up. Almost immediately I felt the effects and went into a full blown panic attack, I saw the walls morphing but my adrenaline kept me grounded, I hyper ventilated, my thoughts were everywhere I thought I needed water, I thought my throat was closing up so I needed to call 911, no I just needed to lie down, after 3-4 minutes of panic I finally realized that I was panicking and needed to lie down and catch my breath before I pass out from hyperventilating. After I did that the dmt trip was over and I could only see what was left of the visuals. The only other drug thats ever given me panic attacks has been weed and synthetic weed. If I try this drug again will the same thing happen? What is a way I can try it without panicking?

dont smoke so much your first time

No wonder that you paniced. Imho your way of approaching this substance wasn't the...uhm...most intelligent. For a good experience one should be calm and relaxed. Hard to imagine while sucking on this suprisinlgy burning glass thing to inhale a substance which effects you can't really predict, right?

My advice would be, read more! And _if_ you will approach this substance again, use much lower dose. I'd advice not more than 20mg. Then you can get a feeling for it without being completely overrushed by it. If you make yourself comfortable and feel confident before the experience and smoke it more or less the right way, there's not really a need to worry about panic.

I 2nd that for sure .
I'm growing weary of constantly warning about the power
Of this stuff . I feel like a broken record , I've said it so many times and yet again.

Be careful this stuff I unlike anything you've ever encountered .
I think the problem is these words are meaningless and start to sound like preaching
To people just trying it for the first time .

Believe it !! This shit is no joke !

Seems like pure foolishness to me to load that much for a first run .

Take a look at this thread next time you want to journey.... good luck!

I didn't plan on taking the whole 60 mg but I didn't want it to go to waste when it caught on fire, my thought process was to vaporize just part of it to get to where I wanted to go. I have social anxiety disorder and found it just about impossible to ease the anxiousness of trying it. I figured I would just do it even if I was anxious.

Ummm...dmt doesn't 'catch on fire' (not unless it's swimming in naphtha)
Can you explain further please?

Try a cup of passiflora tea beforehand to calm you before launch.

the machine is a bottle with steel wool stuffed in the neck of the bottle and a straw at the bottom, You hold the bottle bottom up sucking through the straw while heating the steel wool. Dmt is placed on the steel wool so that when it is heated it will melt and vaporize. The steel wool was packed but not very tight as I found out the dmt was falling through the wool. The powdered dmt caking the steel wool combusted? idk it burnt up pretty quickly to the point where I took off the lighter and it burned all the dmt without my control

Well you don't use steel wool in a machine for precisely this reason. Wool combusts.
Steel or copper ribbon should be used.
You probably inhaled an unhealthy dose of burnt steel fumes.

Hi there,

I´ve also been trying dmt since about a month. From all i read, the best way to get acquainted with the effects is to take it slow and don´t try to force anything.

This has been going well, no breakthroughs, but i get much less anxious from putting the lighter under the machine then the first time.

Another tip would be to try Changa. I haven´t yet, but it´s what i read a LOT and i will be trying it soon.

This should get you excited about Changa:

Because it caught me off guard..I experianced a near panic thing with my first effective dose of DMT just a little short of a break through.. but soon realized most of my anxiety was from within me and not all the fault of the DMT..
I learned to let it leed me and go with the experiance and i would be fine..
Also i believe a large enough dose to break through may be better than messing around with little doses because once your there ..your there and must experiance it...
