No need for apologies, I learnt some Ancient Egyptian =) I actually recognised “ankh”, but disregarded it. Ancient Egyptian not being something that often comes my way!

Yup, this game is a very personal one whatever, it seems you are going round things the right way with what seems to be an interested and thoughtful approach. For me I would not have dared to go that route early on in my experiences, DMT is so extreme in a short experience, it took me a long time to build up the courage to work with oral DMT in pharmahuasca.

I think you are right there, the experience of oral ingestion seems to work at more of an understandable pace and it seems to be easier to recollect and think about what happened afterward. Not being too experienced in that area maybe it is not always like that, but that is how it feels in my limited experience.

I don’t think you should let that scare you from undertaking an extraction at some point if you feel drawn to it. It is fairly simple to extract if you read up and can follow instructions. Sounds like you have your initial path laid out in a different direction anyhow!
Good luck on your journey!
