The other day I experimented with DMT for the first time. I first tried with about, 25-30 mg. I was left with a mild body high at best and no visuals. I then smoked two hits of approximately the same dosage consecutively and this time it produced a much more intense body effect, but no visuals yet again. I noticed a sense of body load and it was very hard to think coherently. I also felt a bit nauseous at one point. I attempted a third time, same dosage, one hit, but this yielded the same results as my first attempt. I separated each attempt by approximately an hour. I smoked it via a bowl and the friends I was with all used the same bowl and tripped fine. At first I thought maybe it was my smoking technique but I have decided that that is not a likely explanation. I had experienced friends work the lighter and I was holding in the smoke for long periods of time. Any ideas how to achieve a breakthrough or at least some signs of one (ie. mild visuals, etc.). This is not something I decided to try on a whim and I have been considering it for a lengthy amount of time. For some reason it appears as if I have some sort of natural tolerance to the substance.

Yes. Stop searching for one.

Simply put, if you run up to the door and knock, they don't know you, they won't let you in. However, if you walk to the door, and take measure of your surroundings and the things they show you (it's put there for a reason) then you'll find when you get up to the door, that it'll already be open.

seems likely to me

Put some mullein in a pipe with some spice on top,
melt it on there with a lighter inhale deep and slow.

Make sure you have enough space, whether you are using a machine or herbs, for the spice to melt onto
otherwise it just disappears into the pipe. That could be the case here.

Clear the bowl...
Try 30, 40, 50mg

Try putting some parsley or sage to line the bowl then put the DMT on top of that and than more parsley or sage on top of that light the top and remove the lighter to make sure your not burning any of the product.
Also this could also be a scenario if you believe in things like this there were times when I did DMT and it just didn't feel right and in those moments when I tried to smoke DMT I felt like the sensation was rushing to the top of my head and stop its like I couldn't break through (breaking through in the sense I guess releasing from the top of my head or activating my crown chakra)

so what did you do ? did you stop smoking?

Mullein is really good for starters . Also try to incorporate
An MAOI of some kind into the mix . This will change things dramatically .
Cappi tea is what I prefer. Put some time between attempts
Like a few days to a week, ensure a good set and setting
Get your mind right think about intention .
Keep crappy food and caffeine to a minimum at least a day before
Your attempt or at least the day of . leave plenty of time
To get in the zone don't be in a hurry .
You keep trying it will happen .

make changa

A steam roller pipe with a "volcano liquid pad" in the bowl and careful tethering of the flame is effective.
I am of the belief poor smoking technique is responsible for this situation in many peoples experience.
For example if you were to use a Glass vapor genie, i believe 30mg would most certainly be effective.
Tho this may not appear to be the case, it often is as i have experienced and many others have mentioned.
You should not be smoalking the DMT rather Vaporizing.
Dmt is metabolized very quickly, so three hits immediately will be more effective then 20 hits spread out over time.

thats some great advice

With a lot of my friends, when I oversee them going through the whole process, their technique may be right, as I will see the vapor filling nicely, they clear it, hold it in appropriately and yet there are some who have a much harder time getting any visuals. The only suggestion I can make is to continue to experiment. From my experiences with it, it should seem that as your brain gets kinda rewired from using it more, it becomes more visual. It should seem that those who at one time didn't get any visuals that once they do in fact get them, they're much easier to get. So hang in there.
