REPORT


Once upon a time I decided to try an experiment. Now, most of the time when I smoke I go for the full breakthrough. However, I wanted to experiment with low doses administered over the course of approximately 2 hours.

It all started with my girlfriend and I sitting in our bedroom. I love playing my guitar so I wondered what it would be like to take 1 generous inhale of enhanced leaf and just jam away!

Obviously, jamming is not so easily achieved and even impossible to play when travelling deep. Normally, I'll play before and/or after but during? This would prove to be interesting indeed!

Now, I did not measure the doses. I simply loaded up our changa/enhanced leaf bongs to the brim and prepared ourselves.

I was not aiming for a breakthrough. My goal was to take a decent sized toke and ride it out while strumming away!

3...2...1... We start! I felt it almost immediately. Sort of like feeling the air pressure change as that twinge of nerves and excitement crept up my spine. It is always a pretty significant physical feeling. Almost like being submerged into a thin layer of water. I don't really know how to describe it properly.

At this point, I was staring at the floor and it started crawling. Literally crawling as if it were alive! I was fixated on it! It was as though I was resting my feet on a bed of dirt free night crawlers. Yes, squiggly worm-like creatures had become the entire floor! This was intense but not overwhelming. I didn't even look anywhere else. The floor was where it was all happening!

I carefully removed my feet from the floor only to realize I still had my guitar in my hands. Sometimes while on psychedelics (at least during intense peaks) my guitar will feel completely foreign to me. Almost as if it is the first time I am picking it up. This, however, was different. I felt empowered! I felt inspired! All musical possibilities were right in front of me. I felt as though I had the power to play anything. It was such a gorgeous feeling.

So then I played. I didn't have to think, the notes just came. It felt right. I felt connected...to everything somehow.

6-8 minutes or so go by and we start returning from the more intense portion of visual distortions but I continued to play through the diminishing effects. While this was not a breakthrough, it was still a bit stronger than I had anticipated but ended up being quite rewarding.

So that was just the first of many but the first one was perhaps the most memorable. We continued to take one hit at a time approximately every 10-15 minutes, never letting ourselves return to baseline. We perceived no noticeable tolerance. Every time was around the same intensity.

Taking one large hit and playing is beautiful. I highly recommend it to any musician.

Now, to describe each and every ten minute experience would take ages so I will cut to the chase. The last one we did was nearly 2 hours later and I put down the guitar and prepared ourselves for a full experience this time.

This is where it was the most intense.

Ready, set, go!

I took 3 large rips from the bong having reloaded it with some fresh enhanced leaf. Once again, the effects were felt almost instantly. The upsurge of energy. The weightlessness. The feeling of being completely removed from your physical self.

The room completely changed. I was sitting in a peculiar place with what I can only describe as alien hieroglyphics being written all over the walls. Some strange written language that was constantly changing and distorting whatever my bedroom used to look like. At that point I forgot I had a room. This was my room now, or that is what I thought. What was the writing? It seemed as though I needed to read it but alas, I had no way to decipher it! I also realized that I had forgotten to lay back in my bed which brought me back to reality just a bit as I climbed backwards and lay down.

I closed my eyes and I was in what could only be called a fractal tunnel. I was travelling somewhere. Where? I don't know. I never made it there. Some part of me wanted to see how my girlfriend was doing so I opened my eyes and saw her staring into space, slack jawed but smiling. This brought me immense joy. Seeing her smile. It warmed my soul!

As my soul warmed up the effects started fading. That was fine though. The past two hours had built up to quite a magnificent ending! My girlfriend and I had a long conversation afterwards about our experiences and it always amazes me how different everyone's trips are in comparison to one another. And yet sometimes there are unbelievable similarities.

All in all, low dosing and playing an instrument was quite an incredible experience for me. That and having it build (well more like sustain) over the course of two hours and then have a breakthrough
at the end was indescribable. Beautiful!

We ended the night with a bong full of green and slipped into a most restful state of sleep!

Thank you for reading!

Yours Truly

-The Grateful One-

Sounds like an amazing day! I have yet to play guitar while on DMT, but I do play before blasting off sometimes. Something about playing before going deep calms that preflight anxiety and has a meditative quality to it. I have played on mushrooms and that was such an incredible feeling. It was similar to how you described playing on DMT... not too much thought went into what I was creating and everything just clicked so nicely.

I'll definitely try playing on low doses of DMT after reading your report. It's one thing to hear music on psychedelics, but to create it yourself is an amazing experience and feels so therapeutic.

Thanks for sharing

I played guitar during the experience both on my first 5-MeO, and a DMT experience as well.

Losing my 5-MeO-DMT Virginity (link to a recording somewhere in that thread)



As you can see, back then I couldn't find the thread either, and still can't

Very well put, Global!

Music is very important to me and integrating it into any journey is equally important! I love it!

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the great experience report and inspiration. I play guitar and will be trying this myself.

Nice!!!

Great report Grateful One!

Thank you for the kind words, guys! I hope to post some more experiences once I fully integrate them. Then there is the problem of finding the right words!

I guess that is part of it though. It is so profound that words hold no value. We do our best though not to mention I do love a good challenge. How do you describe something indescribable? Simple. You try.

That is one of the main reasons why I love music so much...One can express things with music that one has a difficult time putting into words.

Much peace.

Absolutely! I can say more in one articulated note than I could with 1000 words! My journeys inspire constantly. That is why my guitar is always within reach. If the words won't flow(annoyingly common for me) I know that the music can and will. It is the greatest form of expression!
