Hey guys,

I've been a casual visitor to this site for a long time, but just now have made an account. I noticed I can't seem to post in other forums for some reason so I'm posting here.

I just tried DMT for the first time, and would like some feedback on my method/experience. So I smoked what my friend eyeballed as "a lot" of dmt, or a strong dose, out of a bowl, layered between weed. The first hit tasted like buds, but the second, third, and fourth tasted like dmt, which is an interesting, but not unpleasant taste. I would say by the time I was two hits in I started to feel very "dreamy". I have much experience with lucid dreaming, and it felt VERY much like I was looking at the world through my dreaming eyes. Vivid, yet mystically unreal. There was moderate intensification of colors, and a sort of vibrating fogginess seemed to veil over my field of vision, but no distinct visuals ensued. I felt a very great urge to simply relax. I was sitting cross-legged against a tree, and I relaxed into a meditation and shut my eyes. I was feeling the effects rise rapidly in intensity, and had the intuitive knowledge that if it kept going, the whole of my reality, and my perception would be shattered. It came very near that point, and that is where it peaked. My eyes remained closed, and I simply remember experiencing feelings and perceptions that make absolutely no sense. It was very hard to integrate those feelings, so they are now mostly lost on me. I do recall seeing non-vivid, dream-like images of ordinary things. This lasted for a while, as I was experiencing what I believe to be the deepest and most relaxing meditation I've ever experienced. It wasn't too intense for me, and wasn't scary. It wasn't "neutral, but interesting" like many say. At least at the dose I received, it was a very pleasant experience.

Now, I've heard that a bowl is not a proper way to smoke dmt, and that vaporizing with a crack pipe kind of thing is the way to go, but exactly how wasteful is my method? Based on the description of my experience, how much do you think I really got in milligrams? Is it safe to say that I didn't break through, then?

I would have to say that you experienced a small fraction of what DMT has to offer. If you want some pointers on smoking method and dosages click the link for my vaping guide in my sig. As far as the sandwhich method, which is what sounds like you did, you should POWER hit it once you get the bud lit up. I would recommend putting LESS on if you do that though (or things might not go so well) and you really should be weighing out your doses IMO. If you have a question about scales or anything else, use the search, wiki, and the FAQ.

Oh and you def did not have a breakthrough.

Would like to concur with Arnchy, you definetely didn't have a "breakthrough" of sorts, I would have recommended you have another hit on the pipe.. well that's what I did. Initially I had exactly what you were describing, complete peace with no visuals, very meditative, then upon another hit on the pipe... oh my that changed the game.

Sounds like you had a very nice introduction to DMT and with your already current lucid experience seem to have a grasp of what you might go through although.. you can never really know from what I've gathered.

Welcome to the nexus look forward to see updated trip reports from you

Hello gubidahubida,

Welcome to the Nexus. Always great to have a new member sign up. I would encourage you to also post a formal Introduction Essay in that area . .

I would also like to encourage you to read thoroughly the links you received in your welcoming email . . it explains why and that you are limited to the Welcome Area to actually post, but when you log on you can see what other members have posted in various subfora. Once you are promoted from New Member to Forum Member you will be able to post in the other areas too.

I would echo what other posters said that you did not come close to breaking through. Seems to me that DMT is an ocean of infinite distance and depth. You can find many trip reports here and elsewhere to try to describe what a deep dive/breakthrough is like. But, DMT has a delightful continuum. One can dive deep, one can take a little swim, one can wade around, one can dip their toes in. It's all good in my book and I usually precede a dive with a dip or wade . . sounds to me like you dipped your toes.

So, awesome, much more to be seen . . . hyperspace awaits, .

Meanwhile, take a good look around. You said you had been a casual visitor. . . in that time I hope you checked the many indepth subfora we have here as well as the invaluable links in the upper right hand corner of your screen such as wiki (extraction teks are here), FAQ and Health & Safety.
