Hi all, this is my first post here. Seems like a pretty interesting community you have all established. Anyhow, I have been researching and reading reports on DMT for almost a year now, and recently acquired some from my friend. He recommended I try it with someone who had done it before, and being that he is the only one I know who has done it, I did it right there with him sitting me. I was sitting on some grass on the edge of a river, on the outskirts of a festival. I was skeptical at first because most everything I have read recommends a more calm environment, but he assured me this was a perfect place to do it. So we sat down, and he loaded a pipe with weed first, than sprinkled a layer of DMT on top of it. He told me to burn it as if I was smoking a bowl, which is also something I have read elsewhere is not the proper method to do it.
Nervous and excited, I took three big, deep hits from the pipe, burning and melting the DMt. It wasn't as harsh as I expected, and as I was taking the third hit, I felt it coming on real strong. I was completely blown away and utterly confused, baffled and amazed at what I was experiencing. I had a very very strong sensation that this was meant to happen, that I was meant to smoke it right there. I saw many dazzling visuals which I didn't so much see as I was a part of them. As I was coming down, I was utterly confused. I almost felt as if I had woken up from a dream, and that everything in my life before that point was almost void or non-important and that my life had finally started. As I came down more and more, I felt more like myself. My voice sounded very strange and distant for a little while afterwards.
Anyhow, not trying to turn this into a trip report... I read on here that bubblers work very well for DMT, so I bought a relatively inexpensive bubbler and loaded it tonight with parsley/DMT/parsley, with DMT in the middle. My experience tonight was drastically different than my first time. It was nighttime this time, and I felt fairly uncomfortable during my trip, almost like I wasn't supposed to have done it. Also the smoke burned very harshly this time, even though it was through a bubbler. I felt as though I didn't trip as hard as the first time, even though this time I didn't directly apply the flame to the DMT.
Do any of you all have any tips for me as for how to maximize my potential for DMT and how to potentiate it? It seems strange that I tripped harder off of the direct flame to the DMT as opposed to the sandwich method. Also, what is a good herb to use inbetween the DMT? I am not trying to use weed as I do not particularly enjoy the effects of a marijuana high.
Thanks all
