I made my first extraction in November last year. I followed Cyb's Salt tek with no de-fatting. There were many mistakes and I was left with goo and white crystals. I also probably should have waited a little longer for the naphtha to continue evaporating because the smoke was harsh. Here is a chronological list of my experiences with the spice I've created. I hope you enjoy.

Day of Completion
Attempt 1: I'm sitting in a chair in the TV room, something is on... I can't remember what. Tracers, things are wavy and neat.

Attempt 2: Everything turns into a pastel. Shapes get simpler. Effects don't last long. But as an artist this was completely unreal and amazing It reminded me of "What Dreams may come"

Throughout this entire process I'm extremely giddy, grinning ear to ear, repeating to myself, "I did this." It adds a fondness to the experience.

A couple days afterwards
Attempt 3: Blast off. With the help of a friend. I burnt the DMT to crap, terrible terrible smell, terrible taste. I turn my head the the right and the world lags behind. I close my eyes and I see a being reminiscent of Alex Grey's artwork very briefly and then I am in a hallway.Music: Group Therapy - Above & Beyond

Months afterwards
Attempt 4: Blast off, again. I didn't burn it as bad this time but I think I burnt my throat. This was my most mind altering experience. I don't remember the details and I contribute this to the music playing. I feel it sets a good tone but it makes it more difficult for self reflection. I lost sense of myself during this visit. I remember trying to swallow and being confused why I had to swallow, why I had to breath. I'm rolling my head around, what is a head? It sounds silly and almost frightening but it was enjoyable. Music-genre: Psy-Trance, something from BOOM festival


This last Weekend
Attempt 5:I just got done using Earthwalkers tek to extract some more spice. Extremely successful. 1.8g give or take. I also tried changing up my method of ingestion. Two methods, a beer bottle sized "machine". Successful in creating tracers, probably wasted a lot of spice, nothing else special about this method.

Attempt 6: Using an oil burning vape cigarette with coil. I placed a wad of steel wool above the coil hoping that would prevent it from burning. I was wrong. I pulsed it a few times. I don't remember much of the CEV's because I was so distracted to the fractal pattern on my sheets dancing to the music I had in the background. The smell of the burnt spice was putrid. Stained my fingers for two days even after repeated scrubbing, could have been a phantom smell or something though. :/Music: Group Therapy - Above & Beyond

Reflection:
With the new year I have retaken up an interest in Lucid Dreams and meditating so I have been working on that. I feel that I truly be able to achieve something spiritual from DMT once I can properly use meditation to calm myself. I feel I need to visit the spirit world without music in hopes that a clearer picture is presented to me.



I understand that I went into great detail with my intro essay and this is kind of just an extension of that. I hope that's ok. Additionally, if there is anything that people want me to extrapolate on further I would be more than willing to provide additional information.


Cheers,
One With Everything
