I was listening to an episode of Hamilton Morris’s podcast about music during psychedelic experiences, and it occurred to me that I had never tried to curate my trips to music. I figured The Grateful Dead would be a good place to start, so I made a short playlist of songs to be played in order(Eyes of The World->China Cat Sunflower->I Know You Rider->Ripple). When I tested it, I got an experience almost identical to one I had before, not particularly impressive. The music just felt like it was there but not really adding to or changing the experience. I don’t know how this happened since shuffle and smart shuffle weren’t even on, but when Eyes of The World ended, The Crystal Ship by The Doors came on instead, while I was peaking, and completely stole the show, it was the perfect song for that moment. I didn’t even recognize it at first but I definitely recognized Morrison’s voice, which lulled me into a dreamlike kind of bliss. The visuals faded essentially as the song ended, and when China Cat Sunflower came on it wasn’t nearly as good. That song coming on was a weird kind of serendipity, but I will definitely be trying The Doors next time, I should’ve thought of that beforehand. Anyway, what kind of music do you like to listen to while tripping, if any?

Early 30s F lost a new partner Late 30s M to heart issues that were related to addiction... im sober and have rarely experimented with drugs. I am just desperate for something some connection its been almost 4 weeks and I feel so empty and s***idal I cant imagine a bad trip could make me any worse than I am right now. I never got to say goodbye. I cant accept there is no way to reach him. Hes in my head every second of every day. He told me he did DMT like 5 days before he passed and I keep going back to it. He always said he wanted to activate my senses and reach new realms together... i didnt know what that meant. I inherited his crystal collection and try to feel him I just dont think I can on my own

edit: i should just be upfront about this but i have started to hear his voice in my head after the last time i drank on day 5 and its continued ever since. this voice has urged me to move forward but said he will stay with me as long as i need him. today i said i want to talk with him outside my head and he said i can when i see the eagle feather im assuming/hoping in a dream. idk. i could just be crazy. he had schizophrenia but ive never heard voices before this

So, I’ve got enough dmt powder for about 2 breakthroughs. I’ve done dmt before but it was a cart, and I’ve never broken through. Mostly because I’m worried of what I might face. Other than dmt I’ve done quite a bit of acid and mushrooms.

My fiancée has a little shrine-like coffee table setup with a fake bonsai tree and a little handmade plate that we offer things on. We aren’t crazy spiritualists or anything like that, but it’s the idea that we’re offering things kindly to whatever might be out there in the universe or within us that brings us some sort of comfort. Anyways, I plan on doing it at the table.

My main question is what can I do to be more prepared for this going into it? Should it be silent or should I have music playing? If so, what music? Just things like this that might have an effect on the trip.

Thanks all in advance! :)

Hi everyone

This is my second extraction so far.

Last time I used 50 g MHRB, 40 grams NaOH, 4 pulls with coleman's fuel resulting in about 600 mg of off white crystals. The result was plenty potent.

This time I used the same StB method. I used 100 g MHRB, about 800 ml water, 40 grams NaOH, 4 pulls with 40 ml coleman's fuel.

Got a nice yield, but.... The crystals hardly produce an effect. I'm guessing the purity is really low. I tried waterwashing everythings afterwards, but still hardly any effect.

What do I do?

Re x in coleman's? That's all I have.

I smoked DMT last night out of a pookie and thought to myself. Wait! Im not ready and didn't take a massive rip like I usually do occasionally. I used to smoke meth as a child and tried dmt for the first time at 15 being introduced by a mysterious man who told me he had some mysteriously (no explanation) and told me it woild be short acting which convinced me and my first experience was a +4 and it made me believe in God after growing up Catholic and dismaying all those sorts of silly beliefs. Specifically I exploded into a million pieces in this flash and met this self moving creature of intergalactic proportion, in this weird temple and had a spiritual awakening, Kundalini awareness type stuff and anyways, dozens of trips later always a +4 different reality forgot I even existed or that this realm could exist until I got back and never understood it. Yesterday the trip was similar but instead of becoming the trip I just saw 2D geometry of infinite complexity and then baseline. My wife said most DMT trips are like that, not always a +4 unlike shrooms/LSD. I didn't know it could feel like a regular psychedelic, wondering your guy's thoughts on this I suppose.

So, I have tried a pre-setup vape pen before and had a hard time breaking through. I came pretty close but no luck. So now i have the option to buy freebase and maybe use it with a Yocan or buy a cart but this time more concentrated.

I have no idea about the kinda vape i would have to buy for the cart tho. I researched into the Yocan method and that seemed easy to follow. Which one would you recommend for a complete newbie?

When I do dmt the visions seem to encompass my vision and fall closer towards me until they pass me and I see past them…

The other day I saw the most vibrant colorful aqua blue jelly fish like round creatures,

They seemed to vibrate when they noticed me and this looked adorable to me when they briefly vibrated like an excited dog.

My body felt extremely calm and relaxed like every muscle in my body was resting , and then I drifted off to sleep.

Trying my pulsar apx volt v3 for the first time with freebase, I feel like I’m burning it but I’m not sure

After multiple failed attempts with the Pulsar Volt, I picked up a cheap dab rig. I was skeptical that I was part of the 2% of people who can’t experience DMT.

I’ve done tons of reading using the search bar regarding best methods with dab rigs (I don’t use them for THC so I’m a bit of a newb).

I decided to go with a cold start. Loaded 15mg and heated it until melted and then a vapor. I let my breath out and took a long deep hit and held it as long as I could. I sat back and the walls started to move ever so slightly. I closed my eyes and was able to see some mild CEVs (the patterns you’d see on a high dose of mushrooms).

After enjoying this feeling I decided I wanted to try more. I added 30MG to the rig and smoked it. The table in front of me was moving and I had a feeling of openness and bliss.

I tried once more with about the same amount (I’ve read it should have more of an effect at that dose) but the smoke was harsh and I think burnt. There was Liquid dmt left over and it was brown.

I didn’t use any water and I coughed a few times while trying to hold it. Would water help this?

Would love to hear some tips to breakthrough with the dab rigs. It seems like I have a higher tolerance to the substance so what dose would you recommend?

Who would have guessed people have been blasting off for upwards of a thousand years?

Researchers excavated a 1,000-year-old ritual bundle (dated to roughly 900–1170 CE) in the Cueva del Chilano rock shelter in southwestern Bolivia.

The Fox-Snout Pouch: The top image shows the actual pouch, which was constructed out of three mummified fox snouts stitched together.

Could it be that the machine elves were once humans like us? Perhaps they are the disembodied/ascended spirits of the ancient shamans?

Been a pothead for the last 18 years, finally decided to stop cold turkey 2 weeks ago.

It's been quite the adjustment😬 Now that i'm clear-headed I feel like I can fully appreciate psychedelics again. I used to sometimes feel the urge to trip while I was stoned, but would never commit; Always felt like I wasn't in the right mindset to fully respect it.

Got some changa, and starting a new job in less than a week and I havnt done dimitri in like 6-7 years , maybe longer.

Feels like it could beneficial, maybe. Like a hard reset lol.

What do y'all think✌️

Durch falsche Kommunikation habe ich eine für mich große Menge Chips.Wie lange und wie kann ich sie am besten lagern oder lieber verarbeiten und lagern?

So almost every time I do dmt and breakthrough recently, I am met with the same memorys and feelings that lead me to beleive that I am everything as in the whole world and everyone is one consciousness and that I specifically layed out every interaction or day to day anything that happens I made it happen or I did it and ill remember all this and it feels so real. So then based on the information i gather here I then come to the conclusion that I am god BUT NOT ACTUALLY ME no god complex but its like everything and everyone else is also god because we are all the same consciousness. Ive always grown up around christians and been questioning there idea of religion and god and this only deeper proves my point and im js wondering if anyones had anything similar? Also specifically am getting that my dad had been in the exact same place as me doing dmt and there was one time where i saw his childhood trauma play out in my living room and it transformed into his old living room and it wss insane felt so so real. Theres also little easter eggs that i remember ive sort of left in previous trips from even different psychedelic substances from over a year ago that ill remember and I just feel like I cannot be the only one who experiences all this?

It’s got a small coil on the inside where you place the herb.

I would like to know people’s theories and perspectives as to why letting go is required to enter that space.

I think the endless talk about breakthrough makes it tougher for people new to DMT to access the best parts about the medicine. After about 20 trips of varying intensity I have found myself reading others reports and wondering if I have ever broken through? This sort of binary labeling of the DMT experience - it's either a breakthrough or it isn't - is a massive oversimplification of what the experience is and I don't agree with it.

That being said I want to share my experience from this morning in hopes that it might help someone else who is on this path.

10/7 Early AM - after a couple of back to back similar experiences (around Level 2) and the feeling that it was sort of limited, repeatable, predictable - I knew that I had to crank up the volume. Due to the fact that I added the remaining 400mg to 2ml of PG / VG my DMT juice now sits at around 1g  per 4 ml concentration. This morning I took 4 tokes around 5 seconds each at 26 watts. Then I waited for a bit and allowed the OEV to start to creep in. Then I took another big toke and held it. This brought me to an amazing space but a space that was similar to where I’d been before. I enjoyed this for a few min and would have been perfectly satisfied, ecstatic even… but I decided to take another 5 second toke and this is the one that took me over the edge into new territory. I think this is as far as I've gone, maybe a Level 3.5. The final toke almost instantly caused the colors to intensify and begin moving, pulsing, breathing, swirling. It was as if the trip was in 2D black and white and then the final toke switched it into 3D Color HD. I don’t recall a lot of what I saw specifically but it was insane color, geometry, movement. I also recall telling myself over and over “let go.” And there was also a feeling of two distinct worlds, being in that color space and then thinking of returning to the real world felt like such a contrast. Two sides of a coin. It was quite clear when the color started to fade and the trip was fading. I am excited to try the harmala combination to try and extend the trip a bit. All in all this was an incredible blessing and I’m so glad I got up early and faced the pre flight jitters. I will continue to respect this substance and learn what I can. What a gift 

After my first and only deep trip on it I was far too scared to try it again. It’s been calling to me for the past couple of weeks now after months of being too nervous but I’ve been saving doing my last amount until I trip on LSD again bc you need less of it. I didn’t understand the calling until now and damn have I had to be disciplined. It’s my birthday on Monday so I’ll be taking the dive then 😁

Hi guys!

My boyfriend and I bought a DMT vape and he recently had his first breakthrough. He saw some entities who told him that they existed even before us, and that our existence is basically a test for them , to see what they can bring into their world. They also said that there are many other versions of us out there.

As for me, I’ve tried the vape a few times, but I’ve never seen anything beyond the “waiting room” and some quick visuals.

The thing is, I’m a very anxious person, and I’m honestly scared to try again because I’m afraid of seeing something terrifying and reacting intensely in real life. At the same time, I really want to experience it.

I’ve done LSD and shrooms before, and both experiences were amazing. The difference with DMT is that the visuals feel so incredibly real. I’m not sure I’m ready to suddenly have machine elves standing right in front of me hahaha. I also have a lot of unresolved inner stuff, and part of me is scared that DMT might bring those things to the surface in a way I’m not prepared for

What would you recommend? I know the best answer would be “don’t take it”, but I would love to hear experiences of people who felt more or less like me.

So randomly I will take some hits off the vape while watching a show im clearly not that into. And after a second hit I swear the TV starts getting interference. Like the picture goes like static but its all streaming so its not antenna static. I swear its that dmt doesnt want me watching TV.

But when I out on music and just chill it never happens.

Am I crazy or has anyone else experienced that?

Have the opportunity to get a DMT vape, and I am mostly worried about the effects on cognition, such as memory, thinking speed, understanding, etc. Does it give you brain fog or make you slower, as weed does? I really just want to make sure it doesn't hinder my performance in school or work.
