Glad to finally be a member of this community!
Been interested in these types of things for purification for a long while, after failing with them for recreational use. It's hard to talk to a lot of people about this kind of stuff because of how they were introduced to these things and the lack of people truly caring about their progression on the individual path.

I love helping people when I can, really it's what I base my life around as it helps dissolve my ego.

Love arts, bass music, and lazers....

Oh and I have not had any break through's as of yet, been on the fence about it for a while, pre-flight anxiety gets me everytime, but lately I can't stop thinking about just making the jump xD

Also, hello TreeHouseChemist!!

Howdy D, I'm a newb too.

What methods have you tried? Have you not broken through voluntarily or has it been a matter of not getting enough in your lungs at once? I've yet to try myself, I keep getting everything ready and then deciding it's not the right time. It's hard to approach and prepare for something you have no idea about.

I've just tried the sandwich method in the past, I'd say it was voluntarily because I felt like I almost broke through while messing with low doses but opened my eyes because I was a little caught off guard. Now I have more than enough spice and a dab rig / nectar collector and have been doing the same as you. The best advice I just got from the chat group was to accept those feelings and make the jump feet first!

Going to meet up with a friend later tonight to meditate and dip our toes in the water then see if we wanna go further. I'll post back if I do

Sounds good. I'm going the e-juice route and am sitting here staring at it. I'm pretty sure I'll end up giving it a try so we may run into each other in hyperspace. Have you ever tried salvia? That's the only background I have that I feel I can bring to the table as far as experience goes as I hear they grab you in about the same way. I also hear dmt can be a little "angry" sometimes similar to salvia so I'm prepping for whatever may come while at the same time trying not to expect anything.

How would you describe your experiences so far and what advice would you give for a first timer?

Have you tried little rips of it and felt it out before taking the whole plunge?

I've been looking into make a little time machine depending on how my first experience goes. My ego thinks it'd be cool to have a small portable thing to take around festivals / shows, but that could very well change after the first/maybe last breakthrough I get.

I can vouch for that angry feeling, but one thing I keep trying to remember is that those are feelings that are programmed within us and not really real at the existential levels that these types of things take us to.

My first experiences were just doing the sandwich, and there was no real hesitation as I was on the end tail of a 2cb trip, and I had been saving DiMiTri for the end of the night with my buddy. We sat back and took some rips and it felt like I was being pressed up against a bug zapper (not a bad feeling, not particularly good, just was what it was!) I did this like 4 other times and had pretty much the same visuals/feeling each time which I thought was very interesting.

I'm going to my buddies here in like 30, we're going to do a quick little 30 minute meditation (we practice the Vipassana technique, I recommend it for general purifying of the mind, but it helps in all aspects of my life in my experience with it, especially tripping!) I have some guayusa green tea, the amazonian tribes say it adds a blue hue to their ayahuasca visions but I'm really just going to drink it before because it gets me kind of pumped up and ready for the experience (unfortunately my setting didn't allow me to follow up this feeling.)

I'll be back here in a couple hours with either me saying I goosed out and didn't do it, just did a little, or went full mental

Much love Asher!

Oh man, went full mental. The nectar collector I used just did not deliver a hit big enough. Got out the dab rig and that thing really packed a punch. I love seeing the intensity of this stuff work with the eyes open, I almost reached a break through I feel like but may have backed out of it again?

Completely dissolved that fear of trying this substance however, I can attest it's really nothing like salvia and thinking/comparing it to other things is just a run around of the mind.

Asher, take your eCig and rip that mother f*cker as hard as you can for me <3
