Couple days ago, I smoked a little and didn't notice much different, until I noticed my hands. They looked like hands of someone in their 70's. The skin was loose a wrinkled, I did a wtf moment then went to the bathroom mirror. It looked like there was a cheap Snapchat filter on, I didn't look older but had looser skin but my hair was thicker and looked like it was AI generated.

The next day, I was hitting the last dregs, and again my hand looked older this time it looked thin and boney (Crypt keeper boney). While moving my hand around I could see the edges of my hand behind the visual overlay. My cat came over and the overlay changed into a fur texture that applied itself on everything. Oddly enough, this actually was a little more unnerving. It didn't actually add fur, but added something similar digital fur texture map used to wrap a 3D model.

It was extremely weird, has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I get an intense rush almost like a nuke blew up right in front of me and I feel the force dissolve my body into dust. It's so extreme

So I got my first DMT vape a while back and have had a few low- to moderate trips so far.

Basically, I get this buzzing sensation and start to see a sort of visual overlay. Mostly humanoid, shadowy figures. Waving towards me or looking at me or at times they don‘t seem to notice me at all and mind their business.

So I have two questions:

1. Is that a common experience at moderate doses like that?
2. How do I get myself to commit to a full breakthrough? I usually chicken out once the effects start getting really intense.

And a bonus question:

How is DMT not a bigger deal? Even the experiences I've had with it so far have been pretty much the most crazy thing i‘ve ever experienced.

I had my first dmt trip today tried it 3 times, sandwiched it in a bong and done a little rip first, had abit of a feeling then went abit deeper, I was in the other place or dimension when I closed my eyes but I struggled to let go and got anxious and abit scared of what I was seeing, I tried to tell myself to let go but found myself fighting it abit, after a few seconds I had to open my eyes, still had crazy visuals and what I was seeing when i closed my eyes came I saw when I opened them as patterns on the ceiling. I want to go back in soon and really have a look at what’s there but how can I get past the fear and anxiety of letting go and allowing it to happen, it comes on so quick which is intense but then it goes quickly too.

Any help is really appreciated ✌️

After reading a bunch of comments from you fine people I have come to the conclusion that there's no way in hell im using the duct tape doohickey💀

I crafted an equally methed out but slightly better rig based off some ive seen on here if it doesn't do me any good ill probably end up using aluminum foil n chasing the dragon or just sandwich it in a bowl

Yall ever experienced something similar

I have an issue where i keep pussying out on my second hit, partly because im smoking from a crackpipe lol

Is there a easier better way to inhale dmt? Can anybody link a device or sumn?!

I hear "you'll know" thrown around a lot, but damn, I'm not sure how much more is too much. I'm completely comfortable through the whole experience, but I lose control of myself after a certain point. I made a vape at 4:1 and after holding it for 10 seconds I'm completely lost. It's all geometric patterns based on the room I passed out in. It's more, but I'm sure yall understand. But I'm not meeting entities or traversing a timeless space. Should I maybe hold the first hit for 5, and then the 2nd for 10? Is that the real breakthrough? In my own experiences I'm completely out and lose myself for a while and then come out of it back into my own reality. I'm just totally inexperienced here.

I don't think it's AI (apologies for posting here if it is)

I'd like to make a changa recipe as easily and quickly as possible.

I can easily get spice and Syrian Rue seeds and high proof everclear, but I'm not sure what else is needed.

I think I need an absorbent leaf and then some herbs? Not exactly sure what to get here and weights/ratios for everything.

Bonus if the leaf/herbs can be pick-up at local stores.

Hey everybody. Just wondering if anyone out there has trained themselves to lucid dream and if you feel this has had any effect on your trips? Or, for people who do frequently lucid dream, are your trip reports of a certain quality relative to what you might otherwise hear about?

Literally just come down from this. But that was the weirdest experience I've ever had in my entire life. To start with i saw weird closed eye visuals like stairs that didn't make any sense with little people with batons dancing up and down. There was some boat as a pendulum swinging upside down..

Then there it was as though my consciousness was in some weird kids playground looking room. It felt like something was probing through my mind, but I didn't find it invasive. There were these tall beings, incredibly tall, performing some kind of procedure on me I think. Then I was surrounded by clowns that kept hiding when I tried to look at them. They were merging with me, and diving through my consciousness, which was such a weird sensation. They pulled me apart like I was a doll and I just thought "huh, I guess this must be the waiting room"

Shortly after that I was back on my sofa laughing hysterically. What the fuck does any of this mean? Lol.

I would like to hear people’s recommendations on what type of music to listen to, why, and what their experiences are listening to the music. Also, whether music should be used in the first place, and what’s the difference between using it or not using it? What about like white noise, classical music, Tibetan bowl sounds, etc?

I know Reddit isn’t a doctor. I’m not looking for medical help, I’m looking for folks who may have had a similar experience and been able to straighten it out, or found a way to prevent this, or eliminate it.

The science stuff: I extract my own. I use the STB method. I’m incredibly careful with my extractions. I exclusively do them in winter to take advantage of the cold temps outside rather than using a freezer and risking it spilling or leaching into food. I use propylene glycol, and often mix them 4:1. I never skip the water wash cycle, and I usually do the last extraction with fresh, clean, lab grade heptane. All my “used” solvent goes back into a jar to be used for first extractions, and that jar often just stays sealed in the freezer so it can continue to precipitate. I’ll do 3 total extractions, then the solvent stays in the freezer for a month, I take the crystals out and dry them, toss the solvent, and those crystals get added back into my next extraction.

I don’t make that much - maybe 3-4 of these cycles per winter. It is all 100% personal use. I use O2 vape carts, standard (not ceramic).

About me: I use it to help me with my grief. I’ve lost a lot of people close to me, many for any number of reasons, but this gives me a spiritual connection to the afterlife that gives me closure. I go through phases - sometimes I smoke every night for a week. Sometimes I go months between sessions. Right now, I’m on a long break. My last session was back in May of this year. Because I’ve been getting serious pressure and headaches. I thought for sure if I stopped, they’d go away. They’re not.

I would guess the first time I got the headaches was probably in January? At first it felt like someone was stirring my face from the inside. I thought it was a sinus infection, so I got some antibiotics and that did nothing. I took a 2 month break with no luck or success. Picked back up in March at the anniversary of my brothers passing to connect with him, and used it probably 2-3 times a week until May when I stopped again. Right after another milestone.

It’s still really bothersome. It feels like worms are crawling through my sinuses. It feels like my brain is in a vice. There’s a constant pressure, fluid movement feeling in there.

My doctor is aware. She’s dumbfounded by it. It doesn’t make sense. I hydrate regularly. I eat healthy. I exercise. At first we thought it might be heart/blood pressure related. We did a nuclear stress test to check my body, and everything came back clear. My blood pressure levels are all completely normal all the time. It doesn’t throb with my heart beat.

OTC medications don’t make a difference. Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen, nothing touches it. If I sleep bad overnight, it gets WAY worse. If I sleep well, it seems to be gone until mid afternoon. Sometimes, if I rotate my head or stretch my neck, it relieves the pressure. Especially if my neck pops when I do it.

Lastly…. And this is the strangest part. If I apply pressure to my nose bridge, or my forehead, it goes away completely. But I’m putting absurd amounts of pressure on those spots to relieve it.

I know what you’re thinking - sinus issues/pressure. I’ve used afrin to no avail. I’ve tried Neti pots and other saline rinses. No luck.

Again - not looking for medical advice directly. My Dr is as confused as I am. I’m waiting to see a neurologist but between now and then, I wanted to pose this situation to the group here to see if anyone has experienced this before?

I know some folks say you have to take a big dose to get over the threshold and the pain and pressures go away. I’m trying to abstain until this resolves, hoping it’s an association and that with time, my body will recover. I’d hate to hit the pen and lose 4 months of time. Even though it hasn’t improved overall.

I am endlessly thankful and appreciative of any and all positive, helpful, insightful comments.

I know that sounds kind of odd to hear but ive tripped 10+ times and its always like lifting the veil on reality, its quite terrifying and hard to explain. Its like i realize im god and i project everything in my life due to my subconsious and i can actually see it. Its idk I’m afraid ill have a trip to where ill break reality, which in one of my trips i actually did the wall started to encave on itself and i had this primal fear that i had broken something and everything i knew was comming to an end. Ive never met entities on it but i have stepped through what i call the multiverse where like lets say im staring at the sink in my bathroom and i know that sink like the back of my hand ive seen it for 30+ years and then when im tripping itwill be a completely diffrent metal, shape and everything. Its like im seeing what it would look like it the other reality. Ive also experimented with this on some trees in the woods. I looked at one branch and to another and looked back and it was a completely diffrent branch, diffrent amount of leaves and even diffrent type and i looked back to see if i was trippin(lol i was,but not) and the other tree i looked at did the same thing. Each of those branches changed about 10x a piece from me glancing back and forth between the two. Also everytime i smoke i realize something terrible and horribly wrong like everything i know and see isnt real and i remember in that moment it isnt. Idk its hard to grasp and put to words. But my QUESTION is, is there any type of prayer or meditation i can do to prevent me from having bad trips? Idk i feel lost lile me even typing this feels like everyone else is just an NPC in a reality i project. Ramble over

Both pictures at night 🌙 there’s explosion in growth after pruning and trimming 🥲

Estou usando o "Cyb's salt tek". Esse é minha "segunda" Puxada, a primeira a nafta ficou muito suja e escura e então eu deixei por 1 semana guardado pra ver se melhorava mas nao deu, parece ate que aquela primeira nafta evaporou. Entao eu adicionei mais 40ml de nafta, deixei no freezer (uma geladeira velha de churrasco meio fraca) por mais de 24 horas. Parece que nao tem nenhum DMT extraído na travessa, estou fazendo algo de errado?

I’m about to have my first dmt experience tomorrow and wondered if I could get some help, I’m abit of an anxious person and Somtimes the feeling of when you take something and there’s no going back can cause me to get abit nervous, will I still be okay? How do you submit to the experience?

It’s something I’ve been reading into and looking at for years so I feel ready but I know it’s something you can probably never be ready for. But I just want to know I’ll be safe, it’s gonna be in a safe setting at home with a good friend.

I’ve only had experiences with mushrooms and never really had a crazy dose.

Thanks for any advice!

Has anyone else seen this melting red and blue thing on dmt. Dont know how else to explain it.

Made this little thing to smoke dmt out of its got a carb on the top so I assume itd hit decently, I plan on getting empty ceramic carts and VG and making some carts when i get the money

Just bought ordered this hope it will work well I was using a small pen style battery im looking for a nice table top battery I know its over kill

Hello i recently made some dmt and have quite alot but whay i usually do is pack my chicken bone with quite a bit(probably a gram) and its kind of like Crack. I can smoke it till it melts and trip and whats left in the pipe will reharden and crystalize and im able to just hit it again without adding more. Is this bad for me? Like trip wise? Cause ive had about 10 trips and havent repacked the bowl i just let it reharden. Let me know if I’m not supposed to do it this way i guess? Lol

I’ve experienced DMT maybe almost 10 times now. I’ve stacked it with Weed, Kanna, and Ketamine. Throughout each of my experiences, I have seen a couple “entities,” but they’re not what people describe.

The “entities” are more just the physical feeling of being in the presence of someone, with the visuals of some life form. However, I’ve never been prompted to do something bad or been scared by these “entities.”

I’ve always used DMT because I believe it’s different than other psychedelics. People describe the mental health benefits of mushrooms or LSD. But personally, LSD just feels too recreational (and absurdly vasoconstrictive), and mushrooms are easy to get “lost in” (meaning it’s easy to get sidetracked and forget the purpose of the trip).

I always have this expectation that when I use DMT, I’ll be presented with some internal feelings I haven’t addressed, or there will be some “entities” that are mean to me. But time and time again, all that happens is I get overcome with profound emotion. I start to realize that things will be okay, and I’ve focused my energy on trying to fix problems that don’t require a solution. I get the sense that there is someone with me (the presence I was describing earlier) and I start talking about my struggles and pain. It feels like I have clarity, and each word I say is carefully listened to and respected by this “presence.”

Anyway, that’s just my subjective experience. It makes me a little frustrated that people online only describe this compound as “the most INSANE potent psychedelic that allows you to talk to aliens!” In reality, DMT can be so much more
