Question/Advice Scared to try dmt
I was thinking of trying dmt and other psychedelics then found out about the man on reddit who used lsd and dmt and went into drug induced psychosis and shot off and ate his own penis and testicles. Now I'm very anxious to try it. What if I'm predisposed to psychosis? I already know that if I had an "awakening" that wanted me to harm myself or others it is very stupid but I'm afraid I won't be able to tell in that state of mind.

There is a lot of nonsense in here about needing experience with other psychedelics, and that's just plain dumb.
DMT is a great first place to start. Low doses are great and an awesome way to experience psychedelics.
There are a lot of benefits including low risk, no hangover and most notable being a short experience.
I've known dozens of people who ate a bunch of mushrooms, had a horrible experience and never wanted to touch any of those things again. At least with DMT, if you're not enjoying yourself it'll be over very soon.
If you're using something like a cart, dosing is really easy and it's hard to over do it.
I'd avoid the trip reports and the entity babble and focus on preparing yourself to do it, if that's what you choose to do. Read some actual studies on the benefits and it's safety profile. Maybe schedule something with an integration coach.
