I've always been very interested in psychedelics, I've been doing them for almost 10 years now. I've mostly done mushrooms, I used to keep a small grow going all the time so I could supply myself and my friends with a little treat every 2-4 weeks. Although I was interested in other psychedelics (DMT and Ibogaine especially from the trip reports I have read), I only really dabbled with LSD, 2C-E, and Mushrooms...until now.

Within the past few months I started getting interested in DMT extractions, but never had the time to find a site that actually has MHRB in stock, go out and get the supplies, etc. but I started asking around to see if anybody I knew had any...no luck for 2 months or so. I figured I would just have to get on the ball, research more about extracting it myself, and buy the supplies.

Then, a little more than two weeks ago I made my way down to Bonnaroo. I was really hoping to find some there. For the first two days I asked everybody walking by with doses or what have you if they had DMT...I pretty much just got a bunch of funny looks. After the second day I stopped worrying about finding any.

From the 2nd to 3rd day, I had just slept in a pop up chair under our little 10x10 pop up canopy because it got so hot in our tents. I wake up the morning of the 3rd day and there's an unfamiliar guy shaking my arm, trying to wake me up. I looked up at him, and he said "hey buddy do you need any DMT?". I don't think I've ever been so happy so early in the morning. He had changa, so I got some from him.

I tried it with my friends that I went to Bonnaroo with, none of us had ever done it before. I loaded about a tenth of a gram into the bowl and hit it. One of my friends reached out his hand to grab the pipe from me, but by the time he took it I didn't even realize he was there anymore.

Although I had read plenty of trip reports, it was still the most unexpectedly intense rush I had ever experienced in my life, the body buzz and intense vibration made it feel as if a tidal wave just came crashing down over my whole body, and I started experiencing very geometric visuals - they were like honeycomb fractals, hexagons within hexagons within hexagons all interwoven into honeycomb formations - and just brilliant, the brightest blues and yellows and oranges I have ever seen.

But all this didn't even compare to the emotions I felt.

I felt everything at once - literally, everything. Happiness, joy, sadness, fear, on all levels and in all senses of each emotion - my felt like my soul was just oozing out of my body.

Honestly, the rest of the details are very hard for me to remember...I started coming down, and as I got closer to baseline the only thing I could say was "I can't believe it" for about 5 or 10 minutes. My friends all tried it after I did, and all reported having amazing trips.

So I get home from Bonnaroo on a Monday...Tuesday, one of my best friends calls me asking if I need any doses, apparently some very strong blotter was going around while I was in Tennessee. I said I'd take a strip, and then he throws on at the end..."Oh yeah and this kid has DMT too". I couldn't even believe it. I ended up getting another gram of crystal from this guy, which I quickly found out is much more potent than the changa, but thats a story for another time, this story is just about my first time.

I've got a few trips left from the crystal I got, but its about time for me to start thinking about doing some extractions myself...this is by far the most powerful, enlightening, just amazing chemical out there and I'm so glad that I've been introduced to it... I have a feeling DMT and I will be meeting many more times in the future. This website seems to contain a wealth of knowledge, and I'm glad to be here.

I agree the trip reports don't quite capture DMT, even if you were to record the visuals it wouldn't come close to capturing it. The bizarre feeling that starts to come on, the intense pressure and almost feeling as if the visions have been shoved into you, they are so close almost uncomfortably close, but not in a painful way. No psychedelic has ever quite compared, i've had similar feelings on LSD, but not to the same level.

Several times i've came out just laughing, or with the biggest grin on my face, even after being scared shitless, just because once my brain starts re-integrating reality I realize the absurdity of the thoughts or lack there of being able to actually collectively gather my consciousness.

I personally lean towards not believing in hyperspace but a massive 'misfiring' of the brain, similar to some theories i've seen on LSD. The bizarre Deja VU feeling that is quite common on LSD (loops) i've seen explained through theories of short term memories being nearly instantly stored as long term, causing the brain to get very confused because something that is happening is already considered as have happened.

I kind of feel the same oddities with DMT, the brain seems to be struggling desperately to make sense of information, which I feel the DMT is causing the filters of your brain to be severely suppressed, so things that would normally be not even thought about become the focus. Minor signals normally suppressed become your world, and your brain not being used to such visions tries to extrapolate it causing the fractal like patterns. This seems to kind of correspond to how normal vision happens, we see a fraction of what we 'see', the brain interpolates and extrapolates vast amounts of information, the details you see are usually constructed by the brain, not by what you are seeing. The eye tends to focus on differences, or new information, to learn it and add detail. There are huge blind spots in the human vision that we are completely oblivious to because the brain 'fixes' it. Our brains are pretty amazing at what they do.

Anyway, i'm rambling at this point, and without getting into writing a full book on this I don't think i'd ever be able to express my thoughts completely

Hello and welcome to the DMT-Nexus! It's great you've found the spice and came to the Nexus to learn more about it.

It's the general consensus her on the Nexus that obtaining DMT through other means than extracting it yourself should be avoided. DMT shouldn't be bought off some drug dealer who possibly did a sloppy extraction or could even cut the DMT with stuff you don't want to inhale.

Since you're set with a nice stash of about a gram of spice, why not take take a look at the Supplier section here on the Nexus to see what US based vendors of mhrb(mimosa hostilis rootbark, the preferred source for DMT extractions by most people on the Nexus) are trustworthy and purchase 500g to a kg of MHRB and do an extraction yourself.

Doing your own extractions can be good for several: it grows a 'bond' with your product. You know it's a clean and safe product to use and that gives easy of mind during your trips. Some people say the bond repays itself during the trip. And last but definitely not least: you're not stuffing someone's pockets who shouldn't be stuffing his pockets in this manner.

Safe travels and (hopefully) good luck with doing an extraction!

The strong emotions was what surprised me the most on my First DMT trip as well.It made me realize how it took me most of my life to get control of all these feelings and emotions(from being a child with very little control,to being an
adult and having control but just having to keep it in check)to having this drug not only take away my control of these feelings,but to amplify them to levels I didnt think possible.
