I'd love to hear you're experiences with DMT, and how you perceive the world around you and your life after your experience.
The experience itself is difficult to describe, if not impossible. Since there's hundreds of trip reports our there I won't try to go into detail of the experience itself, but I do think it is one of the most intense, strangest, and profound spiritual experiences a person can have. After I came down from my first smoked DMT experience I was so astonished that the only thing I could say for 30 minutes was "Oh my God!" This was after having years of experience with other psychedelics and thinking I had a decent model of the nature of reality. My first smoked DMT experience taught me that not only do I not know s*** about the universe/reality, but that the true nature of reality is so strange I will likely never understand it.
However, I don't find smoked DMT particularly useful for the personal evolution, insights, or epiphanies that longer lasting psychedelics can facilitate. Mainly because it lasts for such a short time and is so intense and strange that it's harder to bring back useful information to incorporate into your life. If this is your motivation I would highly recommend reading up on ayahuasca.
