I have been exploring the possibilities of psychedelic drugs for three years, and spice for the last year and a half. My attitude towards DMT has varied from respectful to occasionally reckless. I am prouder than I should be about my track record of good trips. I've felt the onset of anxiety on the verge of entering hyperspace, but it never lasts long. Who knows - perhaps it suggests a lack of depth in my psyche?

I understand that the environment here is geared around constructive, safe drug usage, and I will admit that my use of psychedelics is sometimes superfluous, bordering on abuse. I have a habit of discreetly smoking spice in completely inappropriate situations - before a test, at parties, and one time at a mosque (I was raised a muslim but I'm a closet apostate). I most certainly would not recommend my wanton drug usage to anyone else.

But it's strange - even after the most brain bending, mind inverting, soul shattering trips I always feel like true clarity has been restored to my vision. I have never made a decision after a DMT trip that I have regretted. I am utterly convinced it has nootropic effects and perhaps even holds the potential for neurogenesis. It's truly a drug like no other.

Put it this way - I have refined my DIY smoking apparatus for DMT several times, coming up with a new improvement after every trip. It's now capable of delivering one hit breakthroughs if used correctly, and even cools the smoke before inhalation. I've never done anything so creative after smoking weed.

DMT. This may sound hyperbolic, but it's improved my life in too many ways to count. It won't do the work for you, it's true, but it will give you a nudge in the right direction. And sometimes a nudge is all you need.

Long-term use of psychedelic drugs is associated with differences in brain structure and personality in humans.

one report was fairly interesting, because due to neuroplasticity, the brain can actually recall these novel neuronal pathways which are generated while functioning in psychedelic states...

In the thread in the link above I discuss mainly cancer fighting abilities of DMT and ayahuasca with specific focus on the sigma-1 receptor, however there are many links included in this thread related to potential benefits of psychedelic compounds.

From being nootropics, cancer fighting agents, promoting neurogenesis, healing mental disorders such as depression, helping terminally ill patients accept death without anxiety, aiding in spiritual practice, traditional native medicines and shamanism and working as aides to psychotherapy, and so on, it seems that these medicines, the tryptamine, phenethylamine, and beta-carboline psychedelics which have been in use for thousands of years, are truly some of the best and most effective medicines known to man.

There have been reports of DMT curing (or almost) curing colour blindness (sometime restoring only a single colour)

I have not found DMT to be more profound than LSD, psilocybin or mescaline personally. I would hold them all as equal.

I can understand that as well. For me there all ewual just different and used for different treatments. But at first (atleast for me) it does seem a good bit more "enlightening" than a couple tabs of acid as far as immediate reaction

Hi Sachi,

can I take your point "I have not found DMT to be more profound than LSD, psilocybin or mescaline personally. I would hold them all as equal." and ask you a question?

I experienced very different "results" with different drugs:
* DMT is very often focused on very visual picture. But...and here comes the "but"...it is
for me also cool, crsytal clear and without deeper emotions. Maybe the reason is the fast
and short trip time?
Mostly emotions did come after the DMT Journey.
* With LSD and Shrooms I feel also a deep emotional connection with everything. The visuals
part is not so impressive like with DMT. (I have do admit that I avoid heavy, heroic doses).

@all:
Is this the case also for others?

My conclusion of it is...next time a little bit more DMT and see what will happen. Or using Changa?

Thx

I have seen people say the exact same countless times. But each person has there own experience no matter what the molecule.
But as far as more dmt or changa?
Making changa with syrian root (harmala alkaloids) or Caapi(harmala/thh) will absolutely increase the intensity and duration of the effects
***Be careful with harmaline . It's effects can be quite"weird" if over used .
There loads of threads on the forum filled with info on harmaline.
