Title: DMT. The Pros & Cons
Post by: tankak47 on April 23, 2012, 09:01 am
Hi SR Community!  ;D   Being a new member I figured first I should introduce myself. I hail from Las Vegas and I am one of those try anything once kind of people which leads me to the point of this topic, I've never tried REAL DMT(freebased what I thought was DMT once but that wound me up in the hospital, which is another reason why this community seems so wonderful.) So I'm making this thread to ask the questions I feel are necessary and hopefully it will help other people who are as curious as myself.

1. What are the different types of DMT and why? is one better than the other?
2. What are the methods of consumption? does it make a difference?
3. How much is enough for a single persons first time?
4. Where should it be done?(I.E. - Alone, with friends, etc.)
5. What should I expect to feel?
6. anything else I should know?

I'll give a quick explanation of why I personally want to try it. I heard it was eye opening and can change the way you see the world. I am a workaholic with EXTREME insomnia, I used to rock about 12 xanax a day, it helped, but wound up messing me up in the long run, So I quit everything and detoxed for the last year, I feel its time to give dmt a try for real. I'm looking for the best possible way. price is not a option.
Thank you everyone and I look forward to contributing to this board as much as possible.

1. What are the different types of DMT and why? is one better than the other?
DMT is a chemical (N,N-dimethyltryptamine, specifically).  There aren't really "different types" as much as different purities and different ways of consuming.

2. What are the methods of consumption? does it make a difference?
Smoking (vaporizing, really) is probably the most common method, and is the method I recommend to beginners.  It has a somewhat short duration when smoked (<20 minutes, usually), and is generally very intense and quick to come on.  DMT can be vaporized by laying the crystal between a bed of herbs (or ash), with a globe (crack) pipe, or with other devices (research "the machine" if interested).  There's also the option of smoking DMT that has been laid onto some sort of herb; this is generally called "changa."
DMT can also be taken orally, but it is normally destroyed by monoamine oxidase, so it must be eaten with some sort of MAOI.  This is often what ayahuasca is, though there are many varieties of ayahuasca containing many different plant alkaloids.  Oral dosing will be significantly longer acting than vaporizing (a few hours), but less intense and a slower come up.  You could also administer it via injection (IV or IM) if you so desired, but that's more for a clinical setting with an experienced injector/sitter (you'd be gone before you could get the needle out).

3. How much is enough for a single persons first time?
~20mg might be a reasonable first time dose (smoked).  See erowids DMT dosage page (erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/dmt_dose.shtml) for more information.

4. Where should it be done?(I.E. - Alone, with friends, etc.)
It should be done in a comfortable, familiar, safe setting that you can lie down in, with a friend who is experienced in psychedelics.  That friend should be someone who won't freak out when you lay there acting all weird, won't try to bug you while you're deep in the trip, and will make sure you're safe or talk you down if necessary.

5. What should I expect to feel?
It's not easily describable, so I'll leave that to others.  Erowid's vault of experience reports is a gold mine, though (erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_DMT.shtml).

6. anything else I should know?
It's not what you expect it to be.  It will be intense.  It will be moving.  Don't go into it light-heartedly.  Respect the strength of this chemical, and it will afford you great experiences.
Also, invest in a good, sensitive mg scale.  There's not much difference between 10 and 60mg...

Just like every psychedelic, it will be absolutely 100% not how you imagine it.

All the words like oneness, god consciousness, LOGOS.. they are all complete and utter fucking shit when it comes to the reality of the psychedelic experience.
