Welcome to the dmt-nexus!
That's quite interesting that you had such intense and visual experiences on space-brownies. They say MJ is hallucinogenic but I've always felt that aspect of it was too subtle compared to the blurriness of being stoned. Were you doing any special meditative or other technique while under the influence or did these trips *just happen*?
You say you are interested in trying the spice, do you have a preference concerning administration? vaped or oral?
Either way you will probably never be fully prepared for the experience. Even with acid or shrooms I never feel I am, it always hits me with a surprise, feels novel and staggering. And dmt is quite extreme in this way, because it is severely unpredictable. This does not mean that one should not at least try to prepare.
One thing that helps tremendously in all situations is to remember that it will be over soon... staying calm even when it hurts, even when the panic is choking you... Well basically you have to be able to adapt to inconceivable situations in the flash of a moment, but the rewards are great. The depths that you can explore are endless, hence our fascination with it, and the myriads of views on it.
I hope I haven't been stressing the *hard* side too much, but I feel this essentially what people are afraid of when they consider *preparing* first. But aside from basically training yourself to accept strange and otherworldly experiences by using other entheogens, preparation should also consider having yourself in the right state of mind and being, finding the right moment, creating the right space. A seemingly simple thing like an open closet door, an untidy desk or an unwritten letter can initiate very negative processes during a journey and while they can be overcome if you're lucky, you can prevent them by sensible preparation. For this you need to follow your intuition.
And finally, start low, work your way up. Low doses of spice are pleasant and shouldn't be frightening. If you are planning to use oral dmt make sure you know what harmalas are like on their own...
Nice meeting you.
Much love
Enoon
Buon viso a cattivo gioco!
