Hi fellow Nexians, this is my first post.

I tried cannabis when I was 16 (with hindsight / knowledge I would have waited 'til I was at least 21); have had some experience with LSD & Mushrooms (≈ 10 times or less each); I abused ecstasy / MDMA from 19-22 years, but these days I use it few and far between.

I have also used DMT approximately 10 times now, all within the last few months. So with my bad experience from using too much MDMA for an extended period of time, I asked my fellow traveller (who got me on the Nexus) how often is "too often" to go for a journey into orbit?

I am curious to know whether one notices any downsides if they do it several times in a session, or once a day, or once a week or whatever frequency?

I think that just as there's a limit to how much caffeine one wants, what's your limit for use of spice?

I am curious to know about any of the entheogens discussed on the forum, routes of administration etc.

Thanks

Ive set myself the structure of travelling once a week. I figure this is an adequate time to be able to reflect on your journey before embarking again.

I've smoked it 8-10 times in one night (between 1 and 3 hits each time). For me these are the best and most rememberable experiences.

The first time usually a moderate dose, it can really drain away stress, after I always let of 5 or 6 massive yawns (really wakes you up). Sometime on the 2-3 time (usually a moderate/low dose) I can activate the 3rd eye but not always. Then if all systems are a go, I go for the break threw etc etc.. Then a few more moderate to full doses just because.


The only downside imo is the effect that it can have on the lungs, I dont see any other downside to this.

When you get hyperslapped, it was one time too much.

I went through a phase of smoking dmt maybe 3 times a week to start with (the honeymoon period)until it slapped me right in the face!! From then on I have respected it and only trip maybe once a month.

Welcome!


Once or twice a blue moon, same as my limit for other psychedelics. I like my visits to the strange world of psychedelia to be special occasions, each one a cherished memory .

Personally, I don't "limit" my use. It tends to limit itself. I just smoalk whenever I get "the calling", or the urge to do so, which on average ends up being around 2-4 times a year.

When I get the call. For awhile i was dosing once a week or two weeks. During that period I always dosed twice in a row. After dosing a wee bit too big I have since been on a break.

What is the 'slap' you both refer to?

https://wiki.dmt-nexus.m...rspace_lexicon#Hyperslap

Hyperslap
The often traumatic and extreme "negative" trip that one can receive, seemingly as punishment for some transgression on the part of the psychonaut. Often it is due to repeatedly blasting off when one has not processed or integrated the previous lessons, or desperately trying to get past a shut-out. Generally a hyperslap is not a single blow, but a full on beat down... and one that is designed to teach you a lesson in respect.

When you start feeling more estranged from normal life than usual, when you become obsessed with the substance or something that occured to you in one of your trips... that's when you should maybe take a bit of time off to integrate.

Using psychedelics should be a process that moves you towards positivity, either because it's fun, or because you are learning, exploring or healing, or all of the previously mentioned. Once none of these are present in your use, once you start feeling it's not helping, not doing it for you - that's the time you should take a step back. This can be a permanent thing, but it can also be something that lasts a week, a month, a year. Who knows.

If you are a sensitive person who listens well to their insides, if you are in touch with the windings of your mind and the longings of your spirit, you might feel it. If you are not quite in touch you might not get a heads up and you might pass what is the healthy limit for you at the time. This may result in bad trips/hyperslaps but worse it might send you spiraling into delusions or thought patterns that are not constructive to you.

So as an advicie, try to listen, try to reflect upon your use and ask yourself every now and then, if what you are doing is bringing you in a positive direction... or not.

I may have unknowing avoided my first hyperslap. But you guys have me rethinking things.
