hello! I've smoked spice 3 times, all from very reputable friends of mine, and had incredibly gorgeous positive beautiful visions with it. i'm excited to become more active here and learn more about my new favorite thing. I did want to make a really quick post here though because I've been... not suffering, it's mostly enjoyable, but ever since I started i've been having pretty intense after-effects.

i've had HPPD/sleep paralysis/nightmares up to 2 weeks after smoking spice.. the first time I got nothing, the second time I was going to sleep the same night I spent a couple minutes in hyperspace and I felt like some malicious force was sitting on my back and pulling my arms in the air. I woke up terrified with my arms held under my stomach. The third time, I had a beautiful and positive hyperspace experience yet again, but at night time all I heard when I was in a dead sleep was a woman screaming and a man laughing maliciously. It spooked me out a little bit. the last time I did it, two weeks later I basically dreamt my way into hyperspace, hypersexual hyperspace, uncomfortable noises in my ear and visions of shit in the room moving. I've never had sleep paralysis or weird night terrors like this before spice.

I've had HPPD, i guess, daytime aftereffects too. sometimes I feel like i'm close to imagining myself into hyperspace for a second. walls breathing when I want them to, carpet moving, patterns shifting, it's all totally groovy and enjoyable EXCEPT for the night terrors, and the subject of this thread: A couple times a day, when my heart beats fast or when I run or stretch or do yoga or cough, I taste spice. My mouth tastes like fucking burnt-ass plasticy spice. In the same way if you eat a chocolate cake and you burp a couple hours later and it tastes a little like chocolate cake. I am desirous of many more spice experiences in my life but this taste thing is a little weird and frustrating. Basically, I want to know if any of you have experienced this?

yeah, it's fairly common to smell, taste or even hear sounds that people relate to the DMT experience.

You're actually not tasting N,N-DMT, you are tasting the Indole backbone which the molecule is based off of.
It occurs all over the world in everything from human bodily fluids to plastics, hence why some people think the molecule smells like new shoes...

interesting stuff man, thanks for posting that.

Ya it's pretty cool, huh?
This happens to get brought up a lot, I think this should be in the FAQ ;]

A friend of mine has a similar experience. He smoked some DMT, and now he says everything tastes like DMT to him. Strange.

It's really not that strange when you begin to realize just how much this molecular backbone occurs all over the place.

Does the taste bother you? I personally love & can't get enough of it. :>

I like it too!

I too get indole taste and smell arising from seemingly nowhere. It instantly makes me think of dmt for a moment. I try to see any cause's for this association but often cant. For example crossing the street... ?

same here. I've smelled it out on the street and looked around and thought it was maybe a component of some sort of industrial exhaust.

Ive been tasting it quite a bit at the back of my throat this week after a teleport at the weekend

Your experience sounds v interesting and I can relate to part, not the night thing though.

I have been experiencing some sort of jet lag since my weekend mission too.

In the province of the mind where suggestion and imagination are so powerful I think the spice experience can leave existential shock waves.

I cant get the experience out of my head this week and find that the memory of the event is running in the background all the time. I can easily close my eyes at any point and drift into recollection and analysis. I have a lot of free time at the moment so introspection and analysis always yield more detail than at a busy hectic time.

I'm sure your aftereffects will settle down with time.

H

me too, before i tried dmt a month or so ago i never tasted it, but since ive done it can pretty always taste it in the back of my mouth, even when i havnt smoked any for a while. it seems i taste dmt a good few times a day at least, regardless of when i last smoked it.

Yeah, I know a SWIM who smoked it once and swears every time they get something unstuck from a certain tooth, they can taste it very strongly. It sounds like you mighta opened your third eye a bit more than expected. Go forth if you feel it calling. The start of my trips often have mixed and extreme emotion 'arch-type sounds' of yelling and soothing or something similar.

Brush your teeth

There was a Chinese woman standing a bit too close yesterday.
When she talked a strong DMT odor was coming from her mouth.
The smell didn't appeal to me like it usually does.

I really enjoy that taste of spice. Each time I"ve tried it the smell and taste sets off a good feeling.

LOL, thats gross, maybe she just popped out to the shops for some Naphtha and vinegar : )
