Hi! I'm just your average college dude who fell down the rabbit hole.

I have had three DMT experiences so far, two breakthroughs, all leaving me with more questions than answers. I have also had five LSD trips, 3x100ug doses and 2x200ug doses, all of varying degrees of intensity and insight. LSD is a very strange substance that I can't seem to learn very much from, aside from my very insightful first experience. I seem to get into one large thought loop, but I digress.

Soon I will be trading some of my homemade changa for a friend's homegrown mushrooms, so any recommendations for the experience would be highly appreciated! I plan to do a smaller 3.5g trip to get comfortable, and eventually move into a 5g trip in a dark room.

I am a pretty heavy cannabis smoker, have been for a while, but I keep it to the nights and the weekends so that I can focus on school.

I joined this forum to get advice on my own psychedelic experiences, help people who are new to psychedelics, and share and gain wisdom from like-minded individuals!

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to more discussion!

Welcome!
It has been my experience that a cannabis habit can dampen the intensity of psychedelics (I have no experience with DMT though). You might want to try pausing it for a while before a trip. But if you do that, be careful when smoking up while on a trip - it can boost it enormously if the tolerance isn't there anymore, it's not always pleasant.
Smoking on a trip when you're used to smoking up anyhow should not be so intense, though. Your mileage may vary, of course - this is how it was for me.

Safe journeys!

Thank you! My first breakthrough was under the influence of cannabis and I most definitely agree, I felt as though the experience was much foggier and more "dream-like" under the influence of THC. My most recent breakthrough was after being a full day sober and it was a much more vivid and intense experience.

It seems counter intuitive, as I have found cannabis to be incredibly helpful with guiding and steering my LSD trips. I find the cannabis to make the LSD experience much more grounded and interesting, but everyone's different.
