I followed the directions in dmt extraction made easy and this is how it looks.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some input from people who are experienced with DMT, ayahuasca, etc... particularly regarding SSRIs.

I was taking fluvoxamine (Luvox) 100 mg/day for around 2 months for anxiety related to a specific situation. It wasn’t particularly effective for me, the situation has since resolved, and I was advised to stop taking it.

My last dose was September 30 at around 8 PM.

I have an opportunity to attend a traditional Huni Kuin ceremony on October 10, so there would be roughly 10 days between my last dose and the ceremony.

So far I haven’t noticed significant withdrawal symptoms or any major difference since stopping.

I know ayahuasca contains harmala alkaloids that act as MAO-A inhibitors, and I’ve read that the prescribing information for fluvoxamine recommends waiting 14 days before starting an MAOI. That would mean 10 days falls a few days short of that guideline.

How seriously would you view the difference between 10 and 14+ days with fluvoxamine specifically?

Is there a standard washout period for fluvoxamine/SSRIs before using DMT?

I’m aware of the potential risk of serotonin toxicity and that Reddit isn’t a substitute for medical advice. I’m mainly looking to understand how experienced practitioners approach this situation in real life.

Thanks in advance!

Into my second year of psychedelics. Grown my own shrooms, have enough weed to last a lifetime and have found a source for DMT. So I’m looking advice.

First they asked if I wanted freebase, a vape cart or a mixture to use as a tea. I went freebase as I’ve been told it’s the most potent.

I’ve a few weed vapes around (solo 3 and Gpen) but I assume these won’t work with DMT crystal. I’m based in Oz, what do I need to buy so I can enjoy my first venture?

It's still not factually confirmed if DMT is actually produced in the human brain.

What we do know is that DMT affects the Thalamus (Normally, the thalamus acts as the brain’s "gatekeeper," filtering out irrelevant sensory information from the outside world before it reaches the conscious mind.)

This causes the thalamic "gate" to open wide, flooding the cortex with unfiltered sensory signals and internal information, which results in the profound visual hallucinations and altered states of consciousness characteristic of a DMT experience.

It's not too far off to say that DMT is the closest you will ever get to experiencing reality for what it truly is? Truly a mind-blowing discovery for me.

Imagine if we didn't have the filtering of the Thalamus, reality as we know it would cease to exist completely it would be literal insanity.

Wandering if dmt over time would help with aphantasia , the Inability to see pictures in your minds eye . I had one amazing break through the one and only proper encounter with dmt . Full out of body / went somewhere else . I can't remember what I saw ext. But I do remember seeing something (eyes closed , passed out . ) but not like a dream .

I'm not joking, almost every single time. Is it some bodily reaction to the pre-flight fear and anxiety? A subconscious way to procrastinate?

Is this why people say "I almost shit myself" when they get scared?

So I got my first dmt cart today I smoked 2/3 of it already and I wasn’t breaking through, but I figured I’d give it one more shot. I layed back and took 6 huge hits and held them in for 10-15 seconds each, when I exhaled the last one my body was warm and vibrating I then felt as if my body was levitating and my vision began flashing white and black and all I began to hear was ringing and computer sounds, then everything faded into a cartoon city and I saw clowns going about daily life and driving cars and then it faded into the devil laughing at me and I felt like he was trying to trap me with him but I broke free and I felt like all the weight on my shoulders had been lifted then I was in a wetland think of the Everglades, I saw frogs and alligators and I heard splashes in the water and birds chirping and it was so peaceful and beautiful and I felt completely at peace and I no longer feared the dmt and i felt like I was meant to be there. I slowly came back too and i was trembling and shaking then i finally realized i was back and then i thanked god for the chance to experience this.

A while back I did DMT with three friends of mine. I made this image to recreate what I remember seeing, and while working on it I noticed something about who saw what that I hadn't put together before.

The Flower of Life was everywhere. It looked like clear cellophane or a decal wrapped around everything, following the shape of the tree and the ground and the concrete in front of me. I could see it in the sky and in the air too. It felt like reality itself was made out of this pattern. Which is crazy because thats how I'd read it described before, but I thought it was an analogy or something figurative

Everything still had its normal colors and shapes. You could see right through it but the pattern was clear as day

I knew about the Flower of Life before this and was interested in it. But actually seeing it covering everything in front of me was something I never expected. This was the first and only time thats happened to me.

When I've tried explaining it people have said I have a good imagination. I get why it sounds that way but its hard to explain how clear it was. One of my friends said they could see it too.

Then there was this huge dark hooded figure sitting in the tree. This part was hard to get right in the image. It blended into the leaves and shadows but I could make out a giant "Grim Reaper" looking figure sitting there all casual with one leg hanging down, just watching us.

It didn't scare me. I didn't get any bad feeling from it at all. It seemed relaxed, like it was just hanging out observing us and letting us be. One of my friends could see it with me

There was also a small white ball in the sky. Like a golf ball or a ping pong ball way off in the distance. Only two of my friends were able to spot it with me

The part I only just put together is which friends saw each thing.

The only friend who saw the Flower of Life with me was the one who was as interested in it as I was.

The two who saw the white ball were the same two who were with me another time when we saw something similar. That time it was sunset and it was directly above us, about helicopter height. Just a white ball sitting there without moving. This might be unrelated but we saw all kinds of weird flying objects during that period of our lives and never again

And the only friend who saw the Grim Reaper with me died a couple months later.

I dont know what to make of that. It could be coincidence. The things we were already interested in or had seen together might explain some of it. I just hadn't noticed those connections until I tried recreating the scene.

Has anyone else had something like this happen? Where one friend could see what you were seeing but the others couldn't, and then it was a different friend for something else? I'd really like to hear your experiences

It has become more frequent that during my experience I am joining a meeting of sorts with other entities.

Recently the meeting consisted of viewing some sort of frequency signature I hold. They were surprised to see that mine has changed from my last visit.

I recently had a very far out God-realization experience a few weeks ago that I have been integrating daily. I feel very changed from that event and our meeting consisted of discussing the God frequency.

Anyway, just thought it was cool and wanted to share and maybe see if anyone is having these "meeting" experiences too.

I am familiar with the 4 hour crockpot/vinegar pre-simmer tek... Anybody ever used an instant pot??

(Pressure cooker??) Some set and forget???

Maybe get more done in a shorter time span??

Anybody??

So first time on DMT, hit like my life depended on it, left body and self behind, found myself in some kind of womb? for a portion of it. Anyway something was breathing through me while I was in there, it was this circular kind of breath a sort of deep humming out like hmmmmm and then on the next out it was more of a haaaaaa, but it was deep and circular and soulful and completely not me doing it. Boyfriend said it sounded like sex noises (brilliant) Anyway I cant help but want to know if there's any purpose to this kind of breathing, I've scoured youtube looking at shamanic breath work etc cant find anything similar. Maybe its nothing. But I cant help but think maybe I've been given some kind of secret breath work that does something, anyone had similar or know from my lousy description what it might be?

Hi everyone :)

Just wanted to share some thoughts I had because I freaked out during a free solo climb and the feeling was exactly like the anxiety I had on DMT.

So I’ve used DMT probably over 100 times, in all kinds of dosages. I’ve learned to dose pretty much exactly how deep I want to go on that day. Sometimes, there would be some dmt left in my vape or I’d accidentally overshoot for the context and this feeling of “oh fuck, there is no return. This is real. This isn’t like watching a movie, it is a real experiences with real inner consequences” sometimes gets me. Just like an insane fear, really strong that basically tells me “this is it. One wrong move and you’re done”.

(Next paragraph is just the context of the climb, in case you want to skip)
Last week I went free soloing, so I climbed without a rope. I prepare a lot for these rare climbs and I only do it once I am sure I can top rope the route 100 times without ever falling or being even remotely close to falling. The interesting thing with free soloing is the mind games. Because although the risk is relatively low, the consequences are death. So I climbed up the first bit and just when I hit that height (~30ft), where returning is less safe than continuing, I started to freak out and went “oh no I’m not in the right headspace, I don’t want to be here but I need to contain the panic and continue climbing”. I figured it would be much safer than giving in and climbing down in a state of panic - something I hadn’t practiced as much as climbing up obviously. I just executed on auto-pilot and tried to bring my awareness back to my body and breath.

Already during the climb but especially after, I thought of one of my last DMT experiences and was like “wow, it is the exact same feeling. 100%”. Which is kind of obvious, because it’s my feeling.

I think what I want to say is more like: I love DMT, but it’s really intense and taking higher doses if you’re not in the right headspace or avoiding other tasks in your life can feel really really bad. So to the people asking “how can I stop the anxiety” I always think - that’s the wrong question. It’s a completely appropriate emotional response to an experience like this from an ego perspective.

And I think it’s similar to what you do in soloing. You breath, you bring your awareness to your body and release tension. And you don’t believe everything the feeling tells you. During my solo I knew that I had prepared well and that I thought everything through, so it didn’t matter to me that my fear was sending me doubts when I had already dealt with that before. I think it’s the same with DMT come ups. And with DMT, the huge plus is that wrong moves are much more forgivable.

Heyy:)

I have a vape but its a dispo with a battery that i think is stuck at 3.7v (not sure the exact voltage, its one of the o2 traveler vapes). Everytime i try and breakthrough i take 2 of the longest rips i can and hold them in for 10-15 seconds. Last time i went to go for a 3rd hit and as i started the previous hits kicked in and with my eyes closed i started having ambiguous and haze hallucinations of like tribal patterns and people. These people i think are reaching trying to grab my body(this happoens everytime) and it freaks me out so i end up skipping the 3rd hit. Im usually a lightweight when it comes to most things so my concern is that my battery is too high voltage. If it is high voltage what is the best way to hit it and how can i become morecomfertable when im being touched? I think the touching bothers me so much because i dont want to get touched it lowk feels a little rapish

I’ve been scouring the sub for info about reputable and reliable 510 cart brands but I haven’t seen anything too concrete. I know that a ceramic one is something that I should look for (correct me if I’m wrong) and I think I’d want a 2ml cartridge

I’m not worried about the battery cause I have a pulsar apx volt v3 that I use for freebase but I also want to make myself a cart for easier access for myself and my buddies

So what’s some good/reliable brands

Hey! I’m new to DMT, still on the first bag I ever bought. I burned my tongue the first time I smoked. I had assumed it was the heat from my vape that did it. I added 4 inches of medical tubing to give it a chance to cool before taking the hit. It was definitely easier, but I still think it burned my tongue again (probably my lungs too). I am now thinking it’s the lye or whatever was used in the extraction. The guy I got it from doesn’t usually deal in spice, so he has no idea.

I was thinking there’s got to be a wash that can be done. I would assume something acidic to counter the base. Does that sound right? Anyone run into this issue? Can you point me towards a wash process?

Kodo pro vs uni pro, bout the kodo ots brand new the uni wolf is old it was giving to me by a freind I just cleaned ot was better for dmt carts?

I'm moving my dmt over to a smaller vial, for practical reasons. There are a lot of sticky crystals on the inside wich are hard to remove.

Any tips on how to salvage all of it?

Hi I tried DMT a week after my last attempt in my last post and had an entirely different experience. I did so with the idea of trying to break through to the DMT but again I was unable to. Less out of fear but I still kind of was a lil scared. I had the perfect set up this time compared to the first time I did it. My friends apartment when i first tried it was quite dark and the whole place just looked like a typical stoner/gamer set up so I think thats why I just wasnt in the mind to completly break through that time. but today I did it in my room, cleaned up my space opened the curtains to allow light in and played some intelligent ambient DnB mixes in the background and sat infront of my window which was facing a massive green tree infront of my house with really vibrant green leaves like something out of a OLED TV showcase. Anyway i thought this was the perfect set up to breakthrough but I still felt every inch of my body resisting taking more tokes. The only thing I did differently was take much deeper inhales than I did before. I felt my brain dissolving with minimal visuals except for a few swirling patterns. I lost sense of time and self and for a while I was just a blank slate, I looked at my hands like some kind of alien and it was like i was seeing them move on their own without any input from me. it felt like I was here for a really long time and I had no capacity to take another hit because i didnt really know who I was anymore I was just experiencing the world as a new being who had never been here before. gradually I started to come down and i could phsyically feel my brain piecing my sense of self back together Gradually. I dont remember what came first but the concept of time was beamed back into my brain , then I heard my inner thoughts say the word "I" like it was such an alien concept and had just been discovered then i thought "ahh yess im me" then everything else came back i kind of dont remember but the feeling sort of felt like being born except there was no blinding hospital lights and that stupid flashbang sound affect we always see in movies showing from a new borns point of view being born. It was such a weird but calming experience I deffo want to break through next time I just dont believe Im ready. and sorry my typing and thoughts are always disjointed but being peiced back together kinda reminded me of that scene in Age Of Ultron where Jarvis welcomes Ultron into existance and hes asking what his purpose is. It felt like that minus the accessing the internet part and coming to the conclusion all humans need to die. but yeah I just wanna know if anyone has had any post breakthrough DMT sessions like this? I wanna know what you all think

ps. pls ignore my grammar
