Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum but if what I read about this molecule is true then I doubt it will be my last. Of course I'm a bit nervous but I'm also excited. So my question essentially is: do you think I can handle it? I'm 18, have done mj, lsd, shrooms, 25i and c nbomes, MDMA (had a 3600ug dose of 25i, I never lost my shit but both myself and my best friend were going "this was too much", it was uncomfortable and confusing more than too visual or distorted. I've had really large mushroom doses (never got that many visuals on shrooms even when I was tripping hard enough to get naked before trying to go outside only for my plans to be foiled by my inability to operate my front door). Now after all that tripping I never had a ++++ experience and I just want to know, if I can handle all that stuff without freaking out, should I be okay to break through? Obviously it's not a black and white answer as a breakthrough will be totally different to my experiences but I just want to make sure everything is right, I'm sure you understand. I'm planning on using a gatorade bong (as it's all I have) and doing the sandwich method (while holding the lighter the maximum distance to start the cherry and then stop lighting it as soon as there is one), if someone has a better idea for someone that has only a supermarket for things to buy then shoot, I'm all ears . I'm thinking of using chamomile instead of weed as I've seen that chamomile tea acts as a MAOI (not sure if technically it is one though) and I've heard from here that I shouldn't sandwich with weed as it can take away from the experience, once again, any advice at all is welcomed and appreciated. I've smoked chamomile before and I liked the taste so that helps too. I'm also planning on having ~40mg(enough for a breakthrough?) and pulling it all in one go and then holding as long as possible. Should I pull normal/slow/fast/doesn't matter? Also my big brother will be babysitting and he hasn't had DMT before so any advice for me to tell him to make it as easy for me as possible? Also music/no music? I've read conflicting opinions on that so an explanation would be amazing. So sorry for such a long OP I just have a lot of questions that I couldn't find a definitive answer on despite hours of research.
Thanks guys .

why do you want to smoke dmt, do you have an intention?

think a bit about that question.

anyway, never forget: you will get down and you will be normal again, no matter what you experience.

good luck!

Welcome, and pardon me in advance for being a little more blunt than I normally would.

Personally Id say you didnt search hard enough, at least on here, because your questions are pretty straightforward and have been answered countless times. There's an entire thread "why you should not smoke DMT" that is several several pages long which has excellent info from a "devils advocate" POV. That would be a good place to start.

Theres a thread on dosage and methods of administration, there's threads of others questioning if it will be "right for them" with similar siutations to yours.

Im sure others would agree, you have a LOT more reading to do before deciding if this is right for you and before actually taking the plunge. If you're comfortable just jumping in, than by all means jump right in and just go with it.

But it looks like you're questioning it enough that you're hoping to hear a resounding yes from other members to justify doing it. If it is something that is right for you, you will have that answer without needing to hear it from others. This stuff should by no means be seen as a recreational type thing.

As 332211 said, think about your intentions. And as HumbleTraveler said, this isn't exactly recreational. Is DMT enjoyable? Yes, but it is also terrifying. Obviously having experience with other substances of this nature will be beneficial, but I feel that DMT is in a class all by itself. Nothing can prepare you for it. DMT is something that you don't just to "do," and if it is used this way, it will punish you for it in the form of a bad experience.

It's understandable for someone with no experience with DMT to not quite comprehend the level of respect it commands, but try to imagine. This is a substance with needs to be treated with respect, almost deified. My work with DMT is generally positive because I treat it like a sacrament. This is the closest thing to a religion I've ever had. It is only employed when I have questions I want to ask, or the desire to sort of get a bird's eye view on my life for a few moments so that I may rearrange priorities. I do not do it for fun. In fact, I almost dread it sometimes, but I know that the terror will transform into positivity when the experience is through.

What kind of experiences have you had on other psychedelics? Did you just take a gram of shrooms and have the giggles, or did you have full blown ego dissolution? Do you want to smoke DMT just for fun? Just for a new experience? What do you find appealing about it? What do you want to ask it?

Also, I would not recommend the sandwich method. I have had very little luck with it in the past. 15-20mg in the Glass Vapor Genie has given me an experience stronger than I've ever had using a pipe/bong in an MJ sandwich. That or changa, but if you do decide that you want to use DMT, I'd recommend starting with freebase.

I have to reiterate what has already been said, make sure you truly understand why you want to try this drug. As Akash said, it's in a class of it's own. I have known about and done heavy research on DMT for about 5 yaers, and only just this year felt I was ready and prepared to take the plunge. Granted, I had a lot going on in my life that made it harder to do and find the time for, but alas that's another story.

I feel that with what you've already taken you should be fine, just remember you will come back down, you will be fine. As someone that has tried many drugs and many entheogens/hallucinogens I feel that DMT and Aya have a mind of their own (though never tried too many others besides LSD). There is a huge degree of anxiousness in it for me. It's one of those things it's so profound, so exciting, and so extraordinary that you can't help but feel a twinge of anxiety/anxoiusness once you get it in front of you and are ready to smoke. It really happens everytime I've smoked it, but I know that when I do it. It'll take hold and transform everything into a positive and enlightening journey. For me smoking the spirit molecule is about discovery, I'm curious and I want to see and learn new things. This is just one more thing that teaches me and helps me majorly in my life, even though I've only done it a few times. It really helps for me to relieve me of my ego and clear me out as it were. Just be open, and when you are ready, you will know, and it will show you the way.

As for a sitter, through my experiences he will be there to just make sure to take the devices used to smoke it away from you as you slip away, provided you breakthrough.

Good luck on your journey, and if you do explore tonight, keep us apprised.
