...and I haven't had the compulsion to talk about it until now. It was on a particularly stressful Friday afternoon, and I was going to use the remainder of my spice to gain a different perspective. It worked.
The first dose was 10, maybe 15mg of spice sprinkled onto a layer of cannabis in my GVG. I didn't want a full-blown experience, in the event that I wasn't ready for it with the amount of stress I was feeling. It was a very drawn-out, subtle trip; it lasted maybe 20-30 minutes, but I couldn't really tell where the DMT started to exert its effects and stopped exerting its effects. There was no carrier wave, no massive mind blowing peak, no entities, etc.; as far as DMT experiences go, it was actually pretty relaxing. "I want to go back," I told myself. Prior to this, I had never had multiple DMT experiences right after each other - usually I would wait a few days.
I decided that I wanted to get "there," so I basically jumped my jar of DMT out onto my scale. It was at about 35mg before the battery died, and I would estimate that another 5-10mg came out of the jar after this. I loaded it all up, took a hit, and waited. After the initial exhalation, I started to feel and see threshold effects - VERY strong OEV's and the body high was so overwhelming, I almost couldn't take the second hit because I was shaking so hard. I took a second hit, held it in, let it out. I noticed the distinct absence of a carrier wave, when all of a sudden, I heard the whirring, winding, whining, whatever you want to call it. I started to see "the grid" (imagine an infinite amount of strips of colors superimposing this grid onto your perception; at least for me, it's a common OEV with heavy DMT experiences (30mg+)), as the sound became deafening. "Here it co-"
And like that, I was gone. There was almost no come up or come down. Just the peak. It was the most potent DMT journey I have ever experienced. The only word I can use to describe what I saw is "everything." There were all sorts of diagrams and formulae in front of me, basically telling me the meaning of life. I was "there." I experienced "it." This is the only way to describe it. It's that vague, uncertain place that I've always wanted to go to and have always felt a certain sense of familiarity with, despite never having been there before. It took years for me to get there, but I was there. "I" came back a few times, trying to interpret all this data and information, but every time "I" did, "I" thought to myself "Shh...be quiet and just observe. This is sacred knowledge." "I" heard this maybe 2-3 times during the trip, in "my" own voice, in "my" head, but "I" don't think "I" actually formulated the thought "myself." Apologies for all the quotation marks, but it's really the only way I can get across quite how fragmented the concept of "me" was during this experience.
This continued on for a few minutes, and then I was in what looked like a planetarium. It was a dark room with a domed ceiling with dots of life peppered all over it. I had a distinct sense that I was coming down and that "I" existed again. I had a sense of not being "in the experience" anymore, though I was still there. I looked over and saw a group of cloaked figures standing away from me, in a circle, all facing each other, and I finally understood that I was basically being "shown out" of the experience. Then I started thinking to myself "They? Them? The others? Them? They are real." I opened my eyes and sat for a long time. Once my mind was put back together and (almost) capable of functioning how it normally does, I realized where I had gone: "there." I had done it. I had finally broken through. I let out a hysterical laughter for a good ten seconds, then quieted down and continued to sit. The clear headedness and euphoria I felt after this experience was simply beyond words.
So why did it take weeks for me to want to share this? I honestly don't know. I haven't even been on these boards since the experience happened, or thought about DMT. I have still smoked cannabis daily since the experience, however, which has helped me to keep the experience fresh in my mind. There is a certain burden that's placed upon one who undergoes such a journey, one that can only be eased by the catharsis of sharing. Right now, having typed these words, I feel that I have moved on beyond this journey, whose integration was pretty rough, and am ready for what the future holds.
