Hi Plantvision -
DMT and MDMA elicit far different effects from one another. Personally, I began with MDMA and cannabis long before diving into psychedelics. MDMA was able to open me up and transform me into the type of person ready for the intense experiences DMT can provide. You might want to consider this before jumping off the deep end with one of the most powerful psychedelics you can take.
That said, if you're interested in DMT you might want to start researching changa in favor of its pure form. This will help ease you into the experience. There is plenty of information on this site regarding everything you need to make your first batch.
Many here debate on this thing called 'enlightenment' and I think it would be wise to be critical of this and all experiences with these tools. I've been shown some pretty incredible things; however, it's integration into your daily life which makes these either positive tools in ones' life - or just another distraction.
Be safe in your journeys and best of luck!
