Tricky game...

I always find it hard to give DMT to friends. First because nobody really know if he is ready for this... if one can be ready at all...
The difficulty is mainly for the first timers; We do have a part of responsability, as we give them the product. Many people "wait for the moment to come to them" - meaning, I choose for them when they will have an opportunity to smoke. I go mostly with intuition, and i always reminding them some basics ( S&S, dosage) ; DMT is physically safe - it's good to remind it too. I make a small briefing generally, explaining the best i can what they gonna smoke...

Ideally i make the ceremony with them, holding a space of love and care. But some people want to smoke by themself and it's good too.


Sometimes i feel good to ask for a trade - so the people give more value to it, and show they really want it.
I never encounter any problem with DMT - or only once, a friend made eppileptic crisis - but that was kind of a special case.

For the dosage, it depend. some first timer are really sure of themself, and i don't deny them a full breakthrough.
But in many cases i would do a 3 step initiation. 1 microdose, just to connect with the subtle feeling of it ; 2, medium dose - to experience the quick rising up, vibration and intensity of it... and 3 the full dose.

i never got anybody ever complaining about the effect of DMT.

Idealy, people should be responsible for themself. So it's good to remind them somehow, to examine this choice for themself. This trip is an ultimate journey. But the journey itself can be tricky. This is why i don't insist too much on the "sacred" aspect of it, or the "truth" , holy, divine, spiritual nature of this experience. Of course, for me it is, but i also know how to take distance - all of this is the ultimate Mystery - and all i understand of it is just my own interpretation of it.
I say this because some people will meet aliens entities or have all kind of experiences. Their experience is real, but how they integrate it is their choice - the trip doesn't impose any truth to you.

The Tricksters , for me and many others, is a common teacher in the trips. He is not always explicit, he is playing a joke on you, and educational joke. Keep discernment and balance is exactly what is needed to get the jokes...


Back to the practice ;
Ask them "Why" is indeed a good why for them to become aware of their intention

note :
in group ceremony, we don't smoke together, so one i able to channel anyhing during his experience without interfering with the trip of the others. It helps to give freedom, knowing that evrybody , especially as you just smoke DMT, will let you experience fully what you need to experience, holding the space.
Once the person come back, he can share his experience, or remain silent and pass the pipe to the next
