I'll be sure to check out Cyb's tek, I've been eyeing up Marsofold's but still deciding and I'll be needing to order some more ingredients. I remember the first time I smoked DMT, it was given to me by a friend who I was living with at the time. He'd extracted with a more experienced friend with one of the teks which use lye and you can definitely taste the difference IMO. It will be my first time using lye myself which will be interesting.
I don't remember the dose of my last trip, though it was much smaller than others I've done, the last wee bit from my last batch and some pipe scrapings. Wasn't full blast off but surprisingly strong and pleasant. I've found that with mushrooms, sometimes you'll take a wee dose and be really surprised at the strength while other times you'll try take a larger dose and be disappointed. Psychedelic roulette, adds to the fun
Ketamine is always a safe pick for me. I don't find it as profound and insightful as some of the other psychedelics but I always enjoy it and its never too scary even when intense. I love its painkilling qualities and find it's awesome for tai chi/yoga/cloud gazing. Excellent antidepressant which has benefits for a couple weeks after use and helps unstick difficult emotions. If I have a bag I find it impossible to resist but never have a problem quitting once its gone and I have other responsibilities to attend to.
Acid I find to be high risk, high reward. Love it but rarely use it since it scares the shit out of me. My acid trips always have super scary parts and super insightful, creative parts. I find this one hard to plan since sometimes I'll find myself face to face with something that will make me scream. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but you don't want to find some cop showing up to your door when your on acid... Sorry Mr Officer I was just dealing with some repressed trauma and definitely not getting murdered.
Liberty caps I've done twice, both great, they have a definite DMT kind of feel to them. Liberty caps, mixed experience. They often make me feel unwell in the body which kind of puts a damper on the trip despite parts being quite nice. I remember the last time I did cubes feeling as though I couldn't breathe and being grateful to have learned some controlled breathing exercises to try concentrate on to get through it.
MDMA is great, not sure why I don't feel the need to use it more often (I've been sitting on a bag for a year). I guess the connection scares me a little so I'm always putting it off for the right time.
2cb has been mixed with some really beautiful, bright visuals and not so much head fuck but sometimes I find the body aches way too much and it takes over the whole trip. I've tried some of the NBOME series and AMT too but that was over a decade ago, I remember it being nice but vomiting a lot coming up.
