I think a simple Yes is in order.

I can't say *yet* - but I think a Yes is most probably the answer.

I'd also like to say I think that including Ayahuasca but seperating pure Caapi brews from Light-containing brews is a bit... unfair?

I understand that you're coming from a DMT standpoint - BUT I really think that the healing power of Aya brews lies much in the Vine. As they say, the "light" containing plants are generally considered Aya's helpers.
Although I dont doubt the healing powers of pure DMT, or Aya analogues, my experience thus far has been only with Caapi brews (both pure and with chacruna) - and I consider them to have had similar effects, though admittedly I would say that the Light definitely adds whole new dimensions to the experience and helps in integrating and remembering.

Really ?

What method and solvent SWIM used for extraction? ILPT used DCM in STB sort of extraction
He doesn`t remember much about the bark apart it was purple-pink

Hay kemist

It was the naturally extracted spice using d-limonene, water, lime and vinegar from Mimosa Hostilis root bark. I havent had the unaturally extracted spice before and i dont intend to as im a pure naturalist. What i can see of the naturally extracted spice it seems to be stronger but not as harsh at the same time. If your bark was a pinkish purple colour im geussing it was Mimosa Hostilis root bark but is hard to say without a picture off some kind.


Much Peace

Thinking it a bit over SWIM would have to agree with the majority here that say that ayahuasca or oral dmt + maoi is more effective for life changing experience. I'd have to agree because smoked dmt is just too short to really think things over. It can still change someone for sure but SWIM thanks oral dmt methods are more deep and rewarding.

teehe, yeh man it was me that voted for the worse.

its white spice thats done it for me. one journey especally which put me on to an
even higher level of understanding of the love i have for my children and the love they have for me.
man that 1 will stay with me for the rest of my life.

No, but I HAVE CHANGED MY OWN LIFE after experiencing it

After experiencing it you changed your life - your life changed because of DMT. So that's a yes?

I would definitely have to say YES! ... although there have been other substances that have had a more significant paradigm shifting effect on my psyche... DMT has definitely reinforced my beliefs and affirmed my current perspective on reality.

It does surprise me that there are 2 no's in this poll. I would be very interested to understand why.

The 'yes for the worse' was a mistake and meant to be a 'yes for the better'.
I presume one of the 'no's was Mattimus, who says it didn't change his/her life but he did change his life himself after the experience... which some people might count as a yes!
I have no idea who the other no was.
The important thing is that there aren't any deliberate 'yes for the worse' votes yet.

Yes it most certainly has. It has changed my life in that it opened my conciousness even more so than lsd or mushrooms did. DMT has enabled so many things inside of me that I do not believe would have been possible without it.

I will expand upon it further if anyone wants to know, but I would say a giant yes, yes yes dmt changed me and my life for the better.

Smokey my point was that we ultimately hold the power to change our lives the entire time with or without dmt... you can learn some very valuable information but without proper reflection and meditation from within nothing would change

NO DMT did not change my life per-say but it changed the way I looked at life and objects on this earth (living and non living, pretty much every thing) things seem more fake and I often question why the **** are we on this earth. I feel as if humans are just animals that have been faster in developing basic skills opposed to other animals. I often think about the theory's of life and death and why things are they way they are and/or if everything i'm seeing is just an illusion, which helps build personality and characte, and when I die I live the real world.

(Many of these ideas you may find far fetched or totally wrong. And i'm not saying they are right in anyway just how I see and think about things after a lots of STRONG dmt trips)

The only thing that I could say changed my life would be the people I now associate myself with opposed to the people I used to.

DMT help in the sense that It gave me a reason to hang out with this certain group and then I just started hangin out regularly which greatly improved my sense of humor my social skills and I have had many many many exciting adventures since then. And whats great about it is we all LOVE and RESPECT Psychedelics!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!

DMT has pretty much conveyed the idea to me that anything is possible. (which might not be true but sure seems like it when your on the come down of a complete breakthrough lol)

I would say I LOVE DMT because its so pro found and unique which is how i like to live my life unlike the previous two years which sucked.

In then end DMT was one, among many, reasons my life changed completely for the better

I love the nexus AND all of you! peace out. much love and good luck with life.

Hello, I've never taken dmt before but I do like hearing others stories how it it (and other psychedelics) have changed peoples lives. I've never done any drugs except marijuana once, but I may try psychedelics at some point in my life. How has dmt (or any psychedelic for that matter) changed your life? We're you depressed before taking them? Were you an atheist? I would really like I know thanks.

the question have been ask probably a 100 times. Search on this forum, you will soon find your answers

As many of you will agree, DMT changes you, there's no getting around that.
Just wondering how DMT has changed you, and what you perceive life as?

Dmt has changed me in a lot of ways, as well as cemented things about myself that were always there, but that i might not quite have understood. I feel that i have more perspective towards my life and what I am doing here now. It has shown me that I am eternal and divine by nature and that the meaning of life isn't something hard to grasp.. it is merely to learn, experience and grow. there are certain things about consciousness that I believe the physical realm helps shine more light on. through physical boundaries the deepest aspects of consciousness can be learnt in a more real and consequential way and this experience helps us get to grips those aspects of ourselves.

Dmt has not made my life any easier, in fact it has probably made it a lot more difficult because there are a lot more dimensions to my thought and the way i see the world now, but I don't regret anything and I am eternally grateful for the experiences this compound has gifted me. On the other side of the coin, I see beauty in things I never would have imagined. I respect and empathize with people far more than I used to.. I still have problems being a little judgmental at times though and this is something i definitely need to work on.. but i feel i have improved myself a lot over the years, and strive to perfect myself in the way that i treat myself and others

Yes without question. It has introduced me to new, like-minded, lifelong friends as well as provided a convenient medium to continue consideration of the "hard" questions that science and mathematics throw our way.

Yes! In so many ways. Even when it tells me to stop for a while. It has become a tool, it helps to see how to apply what I learn spiritually, and seems to give a boost to my understanding of spirituality.

It acts as a filter also, no matter how beautiful or horrible things seem, I know there is something else happening too. Even if I'm not on a hyperspace journey, these dimensions are as real as what we think of in everyday life as real.

"It" has, "they" have helped my physical health too, pointed out things that, had I not had them worked on could have killed me--cancer. But I'm ok now.

Now they sometimes show me what to work on physically and in meditation. They have helped me access other dimensions without having to use drugs of any kind. They have boosted my understanding of the self and consciousness.

that's it for now.

I've been humbled and transformed by what I consider to be the most powerful medicine on the planet. It has and will continue to rip my soul, spirit, mind, and beliefs to pieces so I can work on re-building myself in a better way.

I just completed a changa session, and am still on the verge of of another dimension, so in short: YES

Much love to all of you <3
