Granted, have next to no experience taking dmt concoctions, but have a lot with other plants.

Started experimenting with mushrooms and cactus with different herbs after realizing that the idea of pleasing our ears through music and such is really no different than pleasing our other sense via all kinds of things.

so with those 2 plants mostly and later more things tried doing things that would alter a sense somehow, mostly scent.

seen as visual is pretty much taken care of, as is that inner love feeling (is there a name for that sense you get right from your inner core?), and hearing is often taken care of by people if they want to via singing, drumming and what have you.

so we have touch, taste and smell. I personally get sick easy, so i try not to put things in my mouth after taking anything. So I focused my attempts on scent. I also tried things with touch. Massage, skin rubs (like things that warm the skin, stinging nettle which gives a tingling/warm feeling with an itch etc. those were super cool, and worth getting back into, but I have not personally for a long time.

So scent. Also taken care of by many with sage on the floor, incense etc. But i have been finding that a trip can be significantly altered, and this means the vision "theme" can change
" when different scents are introduced. Ad i am interested to know if anyone else has tried this.

A fun experiment we did one time with mushrooms was have 4 herb pillows (little fabric bags that you can smell through but cant see though). 1 had lavender, one had spearmint, one had jasmine flowers and the other had cinnamon. And not just me, but the others all had jolts in their trip where it took them other places.

Aside from perception alteration from scent (not sure if thats whats happening, but seems to be through thought changes associated with a smell?) there is another thing i am now looking to experiment with. In group sessions sometimes there is a person or 2 that gets upset and has a "not as intended trip" and I got to thinking using scents to try and spin them back up the vortex. Some herbs are incredibly soothing and relaxing for0 many people, like lavender. So I am wondering if anyone has any experience, or is willing to try, and use scent to0 somehow alter a trip in some way. Lavender seems a great one for soothing a distressed person, and I keep a bag of lavender on hand at all times just in case someone does start going down hill, and we can try it out.

Had some other theories on a trip a month ago, but they may sound a little crazy/weird/stupid, so lets see how this pans out first
