Greetings all,
Long time lurker - first time poster here
I thought today was the day i would post here for the first time because today was the first time i had an experience on DMT that was worth a little writing.
I have been experimenting with some 1/1 ratio Changa for the past couple of months, trying different smoking methods, doses e.t.c. Before today i had smoked Changa 4 times.
The first was a small sample i tried at the Psychedelic Trance rave, although it was a little too dark to observe many effects.
The second i smoked out of a pipe in the day-time surrounded by friends. I definitely felt the effects this time, but i knew i had not achieved a breakthrough dose - just some intense visuals, things turning 'cartoon-like' and so on. It was a very windy day and hard to get a proper light (i was using an ordinary lighter).
The third time i smoked i really fucked up. I won't say much about it because it was a severe lapse in judgement on my part. Long story short, i ended up smoking DMT at a party after being egged on to demonstrate its effects to those who did not know what DMT was. Afterwards i knew id gone wrong. The effects were almost non existant, despite the relatively large amount i had smoked, i just had this feeling that i had wronged the DMT itself. It was like whatever strange force behind it was cross with me for abusing such a sacred chemical in this fashion.
I knew i had some 'making up' to do
The fourth time was 2 days ago, i smoked out a pipe once again sat in my garden with some fairly peaceful music playing. It was a nice experience, but it really wasn't a breakthrough dose, but nice nevertheless.
I immediately began planning the best way to use up the last of my Changa, which leads us on to today, and the experience at hand.
I took a walk up to the woods near my house. It was (and still is) a nice, pleasant day. The wind was however strong once again and the sun was hot. When i reached the woods i sought out the most sheltered and secluded spot i could find which ended up being under a large oak and nestled just below a hillside which blocked most of the strong wind. The ground was covered with dry leaves so i sat myself down and got out my bong.
I had decided to use the Changa in my bong (with water) today as i have read many positive experiences from this combination here on the Nexus, and thought it would make a change from the pipe which had so far only brought me mediocre experiences. I decided to put all of my remaining Changa in my bong. I did not measure it, i know many of you would advise against this but as you will see shortly, it worked just fine. I chose out a song on my Ipod which i thought would be intense enough to blast me off. Before i had gone for the more 'chilled out approach, not this time. I chose out 'Shpongle - Divine Moments of Truth' (i thought it fitting) and turned the volume up pretty high and pressed play.
From this point i observed something strange, and i count this as part of the DMT effect itself despite having not yet smoked. The air around me felt different somehow. The wind had dropped slightly and a sudden stillness had rested upon the surrounding forest - almost as if the forest itself was waiting with baited breath for my next move - aslmost observing me.
All eyes now on me (or so it felt hehe) i breathed out as much air as i could and brought my small bong up to my mouth, lighting only the very top of the Changa pile and slowly inhaling. The bong was opaque-white in seconds and i cleared it and held it in. I had burned around half the bowl as i breathlessly glanced at it. I lit again still holding in the last hit and filled the bong with smoke, covered my hand over it, breathed out the last hit and immediately emptied the second bong-full and held it once again for a good 20 seconds. As i breathed out this time i knew this was going to be big. Time had begun to rush at what felt like a phenomenal pace as the music reached a crescendo and i breathed out my second it. As the world around me began to vibrate and flicker i reached for my bong and lit it one final time and made sure i burned everything left in the bowl - inhaled - and then set my bong beside me on the bed of leaves and lay back. As i breathed out one final time i closed my eyelids and began my journey through hyperpace.
The first thing i noticed was some blurred red and green snowflake like patterns that were moving slowly and changing, their edges becoming steadily more pronounced and their corners more defined. I shut my eyes a little tighter and a small ruby red square appeared to open up at the centre of the snowflake. It looked very distant from me. This is as far as i had ever really come before in a DMT trip. This worried me and i thought i had failed with breaking through once again. I forced my mind into moving to wards this bright and clear speck in the distance. It felt as if i was running towards it my legs working as hard as they could to reach this doorway (for it became clear that this was a doorway as i neared it). I pushed harder and before i knew what was happening i was smashing through the door, and all feelings of doubting the trip left me. I knew i had done it this time.
I was surrounded by ruby red spheres in a strange green space. I could feel a strange energy coming from them and looked around from one to the next. I counted seven in total and it was the red light they emitted that i has seen through the doorway. I could hear laughter and chuckling from all directions and small whoops and claps.
"How strange!" i remember thinking and then i realised quite suddenly, the raucous giggling and muttering was coming from these seven spheres and i could feel their presence all around me. I knew they were living beings, so to speak. I felt welcomed, i felt forgiven. These beings seemed welcomed me into their realm and then everything around me changed suddenly. I could see a persons face very close up to my own, although this face was green and had strange purple markings upon it. The face pressed itself nose to nose with me, and then it sank into me. The being was me, or had now become part of me. What happened after this was stranger still, it felt almost like a camera angle change in a movie. My face fell away and I could see myself lying on the ground in a bed of leaves with the 'Camera' sat just by my right shoulder. In front of me i could see a sheet of dancing faces, that could clearly be identified as human faces, swirling around, over and inside each other. They let out the same giggling laughter as the spheres had before. They smiled down at me and i saw myself smiling back to them. The 'sheet' of faces turned rapidly into a gaping maw of tentacles pressing down very close upon me just as the green face had done, and it was oozing. I breathed in deeply and the 'Camera angle' seemed to once again change and i was back within myself. My whole body felt utterly inflated, just like a balloon. I breathed out deeply, and my body sank itself into the soft leaves around me.
At this point i opened my eyes slightly and looked at the canopy of leaves above. The light shining through the gaps in the leaves looked like bright white stars and i shut my eyes once again. The music was still playing on the same track, and in this particular area my memory fails me somewhat. I specifically remember rushing through various patterns and twisting and turning through long brightly coloured corridors with no floor or ceiling, just two walls of bright gold.(picture something similar to the stargate sequence in 2001 - a space odyssey, those who have seen it). The song continued and the slowly the visuals began to fade away. I waved one last goodbye to the entities i had met on my journey and felt their smiling presence behind me, wishing me on my way. The large golden visual sloped suddenly downwards and felt myself become totally aware of my surroundings, the leaves underneath me, the twigs now stuck in my dreadlocks, the air around me, and my own eyelids which i could now see back to normal, visual free.
The song ended and i sat up and brushed the leaves and twigs from me. I had to stop myself jumping for joy as i rose from the ground and considered what i had just witnessed. It was beyond anything that i have ever experienced before and i felt incredible after it. I walked home with a spring in my step, and an indescribable feeling of connectedness with everything around me.
Overall i believe the experience lasted around 9-10 minutes (such is the length of the song i played) and has definitely given me some questions with which to ponder over the coming weeks, maybe even years. I can still hardly wipe the smile from my face.
I am very keen now i have seen the true power of this to take it further. I next plan to use freebase DMT over Changa for future experimentations, explorations and now documentations.
I look forward to whatever the future holds for me.
Thank-you for reading, i hope the above was not too hard to read, i am no great shakes at writing but it is a skill i hope to develop more in the documentation of such experiences.
Peace.
Cameron
