For my very first time I had some red jungle goo that stuck to the dish my first pulls were put into before I poured the solvent into its dish to be frozen in. It smelled the same as the white crystals I managed to get my first time miraculously from acrb...thanks Earthwalker and Cyb.

I only put a tiny amount, not much larger than the tip of a ball point pen, in the middle of a mixture of tarragon, catnip, sweet mint, and lemon basil. I placed the flame as far away as I could without causing combustion and hit until it eventually did and inhaled the entire contents of the bowl in one hit. Nothing.

I wasn't expecting anything but I'm very cautious about my approach to new things and I was testing for hypersensitivity.

Second go around I put twice as much in the same set-up. Simular results. I couldn't weigh such small amounts with any accuracy, due to it being goo, but I estimate the first go was only 1.5-2mg and the second one was closer to 3-3.5.

Finally I put what I estimate was a healthy 5mg in the same set-up yet again. The only thing I felt was the back of my head feel like it was expanding a tiny amount in a pleasant way, simular to feeling a mushroom trip wave but localized in my head. This was when I knew I had done things right in terms of extraction. That funky plastic like smell was indeed the one I had read so much about. Placed on the herbal mixture I noticed no different taste than it usually has.

I tried these doses within hours of one another in the same day.

A couple days have gone by now and I've noticed that upon awakening in the middle of the night I seem to have a much more active imagery overlaying the darkness. What is usually swells of yellowish greenish light through waves of dark broiling has now become a moving and twisted checkerboard of simular colors that slightly shifts and moves as if looking at an optical illusion. It's not a bad thing, nor did it keep me from falling back to sleep. But it did entertain me for a minute before falling back asleep.

When I first got my beautiful white crystals dry I dissolved 10-12mg, weighed on a cheap scale is the reason for the small estimation, in some 91% isopropyl alcohol the other 9% of which was water of course. I then infused an unweighed amount of my prefered herbal smoking mixture of tarragon, catnip, sweet mint, and lemon basil, with said solution. Ther amount of herb I used was a bowls worth in my normal cannabis and herb smoking bowl that usually lasts 3-5 large hits depending on dryness.

I made this up in a very tiny glass jar and kept turning the herb around to make certain it was evenly soaked and left no standing alcohol to deposit the good stuff onto the glass while it dried.

Today I tried this mixture after taking the day fairly easy, spending some time harvesting lettuce, okra, and tomatoes out of the garden. Played some dead island riptide. Enjoyed my day so I figured it was good as any. I also only do these things in my own home or on my own land. I have never done psychadellics outside of my own familiar space and will never.

I filled the bowl with it, which fit perfectly due to me loading the thing by muscle memory so my estimate was perfect for the bowl. My goal was not to breakthrough, or even take a seriously noticable dose all at once. Obviously that is why I tried it this way.

I lit the bowl and took the first two hits one after the other. I held them in for 5-7 seconds before exhaling. I immediately noticed the newly familiar head expansion feeling in the back of my head. I felt, happier. Welcomed into a familiar feeling of well being I've felt many times before on mushrooms although much clearer and less muddled than the feelings which mushrooms seem to give me. I took another small hit and then finished out with another large one.

A spot in between the roof of my mouth and my nose felt like it was slightly expanding also and it felt interesting but very light. I closed my eyes and got what I would call at best vivid hypnagogic imagery. Simular to what I've been waking up to at night recently as explained above.

Also upon closing my eyes I felt things around me bend diagonally. As if there was a slight pressure to the world on two sides, causing it to expand out in the other two directions.

The whole experience was very pleasent and gave me a wonderful feeling during it. It only lasted maybe 2-3 minutes tops. I got a tiny bit shaky afterwords but this is a very common occurance for me and happens at times when there is no cause and sometimes is triggered by simply yawning or other mundane things so I wrote it off as simply my body going "huh." I also felt a nice and happy afterglow for 15-30 minutes after simular to having comedown off mushrooms but much shorter lived.

I apologize for the legnth of this first post but I hadn't had a chance to start this at the same time I started trying dmt. From now on this thread will be updated after every trip.

My next trip will be within the next couple of days, as long as the world seems to agree with it, and will consist of 18-20mg of crystals prepared on my herbal mixture as before thus resulting in a stronger batch. I don't plan on breaking through yet but believe I am prepared as one possibly can be for it if it does happen. Smoking it the way I am though I feel as though I can go a bit slower at it and get more used to its effects before trying to vape straight freebase.

At least that's my goal. We'll see what it has planned for me.

Well I finally got around to another few short sessions. I won't bother with the 2 inbetween the latest one as they were very much like the first to the point of redundancy. I enjoyed them either way. Both were with only 10-12mg at once on some enhanced mint leaves.

Finally, a couple nights ago I was feeling a little apprehensive about doing a full 25mg in one go dissolved on some enhanced leaf so I followed a suggestion I had read here before and stepped up slowly in stages.

First about 10mg. Then about 30 minutes after the effects wore off completely I went for about 16mg. These served their purpose of making me get into a much more comfortable headspace before smoking a larger amount. Seemed to take a lot of the apprehension out of it. Waited roughly 30 minutes after the effects wore off before smoking more. This placed bowl smoking time roughly 40-45 minutes apart.

So I load up the 25mg batch and steady myself. I took one very large hit and held for 8-10 seconds. The second one right after it almost completely cashed the bowl but I was only able to hold it, due to burning sensation, for around 5-6 seconds.

I didn't have a chance to lay down on the couch I was sitting on or put down my pipe before the room took on an interesting effect. You know when a camera looks into the screen it's feeding it's video to and you get that infinity effect...Yeah that happened to the room. As I moved my body it moved as would the video from the camera on the screen but it didn't move when I turned my field of vision, only when I moved my body in relation to the room. Then I put down my pipe. From second hit to this point it's only been 5-8 seconds maybe.

The room starts having what can only be described as dead pixels appearing. As I looked around more and more of the world was being taken up by these dead pixels. Dots of black that seemed to have hints of maroon around the edge.

I decided now was a good time to lay down seeing as I was barely able to keep stting up. At the 15 second mark.

As I lay down and close my eyes it all goes dark. Not in a grand way, just like closing my eyes dark. Then I start to see lots of complex shifting lines than seem to fold upon themselves and form very interesting 2-d art. Then the 2-d folds a little more and 3-d spaces start to form our of them. Granted, the walls and ceilings are kinda melding at the edges and are kinda made out of folding lines, but for all intensive purposes it was a 3-d space.

I never left my body during any of this. I was completely aware of my body and the room around me. At this point it had been a good 25-30 seconds.

I felt waves of energy sweep through me. I partially wracked my head back into the cushion of the couch because of how intense it felt. All I could do during it was mutter wow and laugh occasionally at the sheer awesomeness of the feeling running through me. It reminded me of mushroom body waves when you're peaking really good only they were much cleaner seeming. More intense but easier on my body and more pleasant to my mind.

As this happened I started getting more intricate designs with the visuals. Eventually the 3-d wireframe melding rooms became a dna like tunnel, of which I've seen described here many a time, which seemed to have little color but was moving very intensely.

At this point a solid minute had passed. The tunnel slowly faded. The body waves faded as it did. I continued to feel very good though and have very dim closed eye visuals for a good 3 minutes after this.

All in all it was a very enjoyable experience. The next time I try this I will be going for 30mg on the same amount of leaf and will be smoking a couple lower doses beforehand to decrease my apprehension as well. I can't say how much that helped me this time with pre-launch anxiety.

So I just came back to reality after a 30mg go at it.

I stepped up. First with 12mg, then with 20mg. With roughly an hour inbetween each bowl.

This time I used my bong that was broken. I decided that getting a whole bowl of enhanced leaf smoked in one hit would be way easier with it. I used some E6000 industrial glue to seal the cracks in it's base that allowed water to leak but otherwise were in the same shape they started in. Waited a couple days for it to dry then gave it a few test runs with some good cannabis.

Worked like a dream. Both the 12mg and the 20 mg hit me much harder than before since I was getting it all in one, much smoother and easier to hold in, hit. Other than that they were fairly similar to my previous experiences with these amounts only a little more intense.

I managed to get the 30mg in one hit. Even managed to hold it a solid 10 seconds. I knew I was in for something more when I felt it hitting me halfway through the 10 seconds. I laid down and started seeing more and more complex geometric shapes. Fractals that opened up into different fractals. Maybe, MAYBE, 15 seconds had passed after exhaling at this point.

Then I started to lose track of the obvious concept of time and at the same time knew what it was. That is to say I started going back and forth from being able to remember what it was and then not be able to remember. I started trying to think about what I was seeing and was met with the sounds of the words in my head being WAY different than what they should be.

Pieces of sounds of words I was thinking were cascading into new sounds. I both knew what they meant and at the same time had no concept of what these new sounds meant. Eventually this cascading musical tonage replaced my entire concept of speech.

I started to feel as if I was being danced with. As if the reality in front of me became a space of dancers that were embracing me and sweeping me around a very intricate tapestry of geometric patterns. They seemed to be showing me around.

At this point I couldn't begin to tell you how long had passed. Time had lost all meaning. Fleeting ideas of some of my loved ones passed through my head. I worried about them for a moment but reassured myself they were fine as was I.

I started to become aware of beings around me. Reality started warping, even more-so, and it swirled and contorted itself into beings. They were everything and everything was they. There seemed to be only 5-6 of them but they took up the entirety that was my visual reality. They seemed very happy. They felt like old friends I had known for ages and talked to for many an hour but had some how forgotten.

These reality people shifted with that landscape and became different rooms and people. Each time things morphed I had the distinct feeling each scene was showing me completely different beings. They were all friendly. Some I felt like I knew and some I felt were just hanging out and cool with everybody. Its hard to put into better words than that. This happened so quickly.

I slowly became more aware of my body. I never lost complete connection with it. I was aware of my very deep breathing during all but the peak of it as well as the occasional spasm of a smile at the feeling of the sheer energies being perceived going through my entire being. I was however, at the peak of the experience, very distant from my body and even saw it a few times from a great distance with an awesome aura around it. I felt like I was in a space ship with a shield on exploring the unknown.

The more aware I became of my body the more the experience turned more into my previous experiences. Less vivid geometry as I came down and less feelings of energy as time passed.

Total time spent from start of hit to the point where the geometry started to come back into things I could draw in real life, given the time, was around 6 minutes. The geometry stopped altogether around 8 minutes in dim light and a further 2 minutes in darkness. The geometry in the darkness is a bit different than in the dim light as well. More organic, billowy, flowing than in the light where they seem sharper and more mechanical. Definitely makes me want to try this in the dark sometime.

I don't know if I'd call this a 100% breakthrough or not. I'd say it's exactly what I was hoping for a first time to be like. I was aware of myself partially but not worried about myself. I met what seemed to be friendly entities. I had no sense of fear or panick at any stage in it. I attribute that to increasing my doses in stages relatively close to one another.

The first bowl I smoke always seems to cause me to have some anxiety regardless of dose but after it the next ones come easier and easier.

Definitely enjoyed it though. Like a rollercoaster that's cheaper than driving to anywhere with a rollercoaster.

Next time I believe I will be going for a 15mg, 25mg, 35mg run.
