My first experience with Changa, which also happened to be my first experience with DMT was a lot less than I expected.

I didn't get any visuals, I didn't break through.

The only thing I did feel, was that I could tell that it wanted to push me over the edge, it wanted to kick off but I must have not done enough.

I had a 50% DMT Changa Blend from a vendor with stellar reviews, and I weighed out about 120mg of the Blend and put it into a Water Bong.

So, at 50% DMT with 120mg, that would have been around 60mg of Pure DMT that I smoked.

The only thing I felt was a tingling sensation throughout my body and a warmth feeling as well.

I could tell that it was really trying, but I must have not done enough.

On top of that, I had this for over a year and kept it in my dresser.

Should I have kept the Changa in the Freezer until I was ready to smoke it to keep it fresh?

Does it lose it's potency if it is not properly stored in the freezer or somewhere cool like a refrigerator?

I think an airtight container in a dark place should keep the alkaloid intact for more than a year, refrigerated or not. But it's very possible yours could have oxidized. That breaks it down into NMT which is more physical than visual, can give you strong waves of energy. I also think some people don't understand the difference between changa and enhanced leaf; I didn't at first. But 120mg of good changa with harmalas should be a blast in a water bong. The full dmt experience can be elusive and take multiple journeys to achieve any way. Maybe you'd have better luck making your own.

Something that is rarely put forth on these forums is that feeling of warmth. I think that maybe that is called "body load" but im not sure. It scared me at first but no it helps me melt into the state of mind induced by dmt which still can sometimes can be a little uneasy due to it being so different from how we normally are.
