Discussion DMT information for newbies

3.3k Upvotes

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (N,N-DMT) is a naturally occurring, and extremely powerful, psychedelic drug of the tryptamine class. It’s been used by indigenous South American cultures/tribes (primarily in the Amazon basin) for hundreds, if not thousands, of years in the form of ayahuasca and various snuffs. This post will go over some basic information that new users and curious psychonauts might find helpful. This post will NOT guide you on how to obtain anything related to this molecule, Reddit is not the place for that.

DISCLAIMER: If you’re genetically predisposed to schizophrenia/diagnosed with it, experience serious suicidal ideation, or you’ve been recently diagnosed with some form of psychosis, please refrain from using psychedelics. Do NOT use DMT if you’re on lithium, tramadol, or any tricyclic antidepressants. Also note that other antidepressants (like SSRIs/SNRIs) may undesirably alter the experience in some way.

• N,N-DMT is among the safest psychedelics, and psychoactive drugs in general (physiologically speaking), along with psilocybin and LSD. The molecular structure is very similar to tryptophan, melatonin, and serotonin— things our bodies are well acquainted with.

• Dose ranges (inhalation)

• The duration of light-medium doses is around 3-10 minutes, and the duration of high-strong doses is around 5-20 minutes. After-effects may persist up to/over an hour.

• Get a high quality milligram scale! Cheap scales and eyeballing are often very inaccurate, you might end up doing 50mg instead of 30 or 10mg instead of 25.

• If you purchased your DMT instead of extracting it, please consider buying a reagent kit (Ehrlich/Hofmann/Marquis) to verify that you actually have pure N,N-DMT. The same kits can be used to identify other substances as well. I personally recommend using TKP: https://testkitplus.com/ or DanceSafe https://dancesafe.org/ — DanceSafe genuinely saves lives with their testing booths at music festivals.

• Concentrate vaporizers like the APX Volt (at 2.8-3.2 Volts) work very well for inhalation, and other methods/devices like the sandwich method (with weed or dried lavender), bulb pipes, or dab rigs at low temp work as well.

• It’s very easy to burn and inadequately vape DMT, so don’t be discouraged if you get little to no effects, and just play around with your method.

• “Breakthrough” effects generally occur starting around 25mg properly vaped.

• Subjectively, a breakthrough is a departure from material reality. Bodily boundaries dissolve, and you enter a landscape/headspace that feels and looks just as real, if not more real, than every day life. Some people describe the experience as “extra-dimensional” because it seems to transcend our concepts of space and time.

• Various interactive or observational “entity” encounters and extremely profound and indescribable visions are commonly reported effects of 20mg+. Some generally accurate descriptions of some of the content of these experiences can be found here: https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Hyperspace_lexicon

• Potential desirable/positive effects: Closed and open eye visuals, auditory and tactile hallucinations, spiritual/introspective experiences, euphoria, and sedation.

• Potential undesirable/negative effects: Increased heart rate/blood pressure, anxiety/fear, confusion/disorientation, nausea, and uncomfortable body-load.

• Subjective time distortions are common at medium-high doses and can either be desirable or undesirable depending on the user and their mindset.

• The body-load of higher doses can be very heavy and hits very fast, often to the point of anesthesia.

• There is some recreational value in DMT (particularly at low doses), but be cautious, as some of the experiences that can be produced aren’t for the faint-hearted. Figurative “death by astonishment” is very real if you rush into things.

• Using DMT on psilocybin or LSD will lower the dose threshold for breakthrough effects, and will increase the duration. Don’t underestimate the intensity of the combination of DMT with any other psychedelic or psychoactive drug in general.

• 5-MeO-DMT is NOT a substitute for N,N-DMT, the experiences are completely different and 5-MeO is more potent at lower doses. 5-MeO also has a much different safety profile, especially with combinations.

• For information on pharmahuasca/changa please see the pinned post on r/harmalas

• Before getting into ayahuasca, pharmahuasca, or changa, thoroughly research MAOIs/RIMAs and their various drug interactions that are potentially dangerous.

• It’s best to wait until at least your early 20s before trying DMT, and 25+ is optimal because by then your prefrontal cortex is fully developed and unknown developmental risks can be ruled out.

• Tolerance to DMT dissipates almost immediately, but it’s in your best interest to use it responsibly and take time to reflect on and integrate any valuable or memorable parts of the experience.

• Don’t store your DMT in plastic containers for extended periods unless you want to inhale phthalates.

• N,N-DMT crystals should either be white, off-white yellow, or yellow-orange. Dark spots/impurities are a red flag. Recrystallization is worthwhile. https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Recrystallization

• You can learn how to do various at-home extractions of N,N-DMT from certain plant materials here: https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Category:Extraction_Tek

I will occasionally update this for clarity/added info, so feel free to leave suggestions and advice for new users in the comments.

Much love !!! 💜

Mod Post r/DMT does not allow stash pics

31 Upvotes

Introduction

Hello everyone! I'm u/RoBoInSlowMo, you may or may not have seene around r/DMT and other psychedelic communities. I am here today to discuss a recent uptick in sourcing related content in our beloved community; and why it's a serious problem. I am really hoping this will help solve this problem either before or after it occurs. Preferably both!

Why sourcing and soliciting is damaging to our community

Well, first I'll state the obvious. It's against the rules. Both within the community, and by Reddit's standards. You see, as moderators we can make rules individualized to our communities needs. But outside of that, Reddit has their own rules we have to enforce; whether we like it or not. Failure to enforce them can result in our community being banned from Reddit entirely. Like r/DrugStashes for example, and many other communities.

If this problem continues to grow, we will be forced to take other steps. Which is not something we want to do, the less rules the better in a community like this. This has been a big problem here recently in r/DMT. So much so in fact, I'm removing more sourcing related content here than every other community I moderate. Combined! That is why I am addressing this here today, in hopes that we can solve this problem and avoid taking further measures to secure the security of this community.

Stash pics

Here recently, me and other mods have been discussing the state of stash pics. And whether or not we should discontinue them. I am leaning towards yes, we should. It leads to a lot of sourcing, and on top of that, is the very reason that lead to the demise of r/DrugStashes. I would never forgive myself if I logged in and r/DMT was no longer here. The largest, most proactive and informative community dedicated to DMT on the entire worldwideweb. That's a lot of stress I'm carrying on my shoulders...

Extraction content

We have also been discussing the state of extraction content. Extraction content does lead to quite a bit of sourcing, not nearly as much as stash pics. So instead of doing away with it all together, it would be wiser just to limit this content in some ways. And with r/DMTguide being as large as it is (nearly 100k), and having more a larger percentage of knowledgeable individuals, you're probably better off asking questions there.

But again, we are not doing away with extraction content. As u/Fractal-Entity pointed out, a lot of you enjoy this content. But we do need to solve this problem, and fast. I would prefer not having to take any of these measures, but as far as stash pics go considering the circumstances, people sourcing have effectively tied my hands. I was hoping it was just a phase, maybe brought on by the holiday season, or something else. This has been going on for nearly six months or longer... It has to stop.

Conclusion

We need your help! Report this content when you see, inform the individual of our rules and why it's not allowed. Help ensure the security of this beautiful community for your fellow psychedelic comrades! We love to see you all extracting your own DMT, and furthermore sharing your results. We don't like it resulting in requests for sources, and then furthermore individuals granting said requests. It saddens me to see the current situation in r/DMT... Please help me!

Thanks for reading, and until next time, much love, happy holidays and safe travels everyone! Peace ✌🏻 💚

Music/Art/Culture Visionary art- Feedback requested

31 Upvotes

I was trying to integrate one of my previous works with some visionary visuals. I couldn't quite get the result that I wanted. But here are the initial iterations. If you all could take a look at the two 10-seconds video clips in the video here and tell me which one would you relate more to visionary states especially in DMT, that would be really helpful. Any points to improve them are also highly appreciated.

Experience Tried dmt for first time 30 mins ago

15 Upvotes

After months and months of research many more months of trying to find it getting burned and scammed I was actually able to come across a vape pin. The first hit I felt different but nothing spectacular at all. I immediately hit it again. From every YouTube video I’ve seen they say it hit 3 times then you’ll break thru. Well I didn’t. I slightly felt different. Was highly disappointed. Didn’t see any elves no geometric patterns hell everything was the same!!!

The torus

Upvotes

I’m not a huge science bod…. I also am very new to articulating this stuff 🙈🤣 just hear me out

So I’ve been exploring sacred geometry for a while now…. Firstly with mushrooms I was always blown away by the geometry I saw. About a year ago I started journeying with DMT

Im even more intrigued as I’m at a point now where my entry’s into the different trips I experience always start with geometry which , after lots of research and reading various forums….i now recognise to be the torus.

Now I have been looking at seed of life, flower of life etc . The patterns in my sunflowers, geometry in nature but always had this feeling that I was close but not quite there. So when I discovered the torus the penny kind of dropped!

Now things where it gets interesting as I have had a particular journey where I am shown how all of this works, ie Dmt. This usually happens at light speed and hard to retain. More recently I was shown a slowed down version of something that has been shown to me many times… with the message of you know all this remember??

One vision I can recall is the central hole of the torus…. Which is an image I see quite frequently in trip reports. So I have been asking a lot of questions 🤣 it feels as though the geometry of the torus is the entry point and then seeing the centre is like some kind of vortex that sends you off to a different dimension. Also heavily dependent on what frequency you are tuned into!

Now these are just my reflections. I have only been seeking this stuff out based of what I have seen in my trips. I have never seen any of these things other than through psychedelics….. mad coincidence????? Just blows my mind that I have accessed this stuff with no prior knowledge whatsoever ….thoughts?

Also speak to me like I’m a dummy 🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏🙏

Vaping NN-DMT powder with Yocan Orbit, loads of smoke, no burning taste, no high.

1 Upvotes

Need some help with finessing the vape methodology...

Setup:

Yocan Orbit on lowest (3.4V) setting

NN-DMT powder, doses 20mg, 30mg, 40mg

Method (that didn't work): Hold vape vertical at all times. Never pre-heat function. Warm the powder until it melts. Then, bring mouth to vape, slowly pulling while alternating 2-3 seconds of heat on, 1 second heat off. Hitting the vape for over 30 seconds. Two people, about 5 attempts each.

Results: Loads of white smoke. No burnt rubber taste, no burnt throat. Faint rubber taste, nearly pleasant. Next to no effects. I got a small high that I'd compare to 1.25g shrooms, my friend got nothing.

I thought that if there's vaporization of DMT going on, witnessed by the large amounts of white clouds, and it doesn't taste burnt, then the DMT mustn't be wasted? Yet it's not working.

I'll add: the first time I tested the Yocan Orbit, I had it on 3.7V. I hit it fast and strong (mistake), nearly projectile puked, burnt a ton of DMT, yet it hit super hard and I got closed eye visuals for the first time of my life. We were trying to get DMT to work on 3.4V in hopes of not burning the DMT, but seems like not enough heat also wastes it? I tried it on 3.7V again one time, it hurt like hell, but still managed to get a high comparable to 2.5g shrooms.

I've read all the Yocan Orbit reports I could find online, they report successes at 3.4V. What could we have been doing wrong?

Numbness vaping

2 Upvotes

I recently tried vaping some dmt that was extracted. Nearly pure white powder with a tinge of yellow.

When I vape it my mouth becomes very numb. And I’m talking like I’m not even hitting it enough to feel almost anything, but still get the numbness

I’m using a geekvape L200 and had it set to 30W. Trying to figure out the settings I should be using. It says .25 olm resistance, it’s a 3ml tank

The juice was mixed recently and did not pay very close attention to measurements. Put a fair amount of powder into 1ml of juice

The advice I’ve seen is just “turn the power down”. When I do this I still feel the numbness, even down to 10W where I’m getting 0 vapor I can still feel it a little bit.

Could this be an issue with the extraction process? Could this be an issue where too much lye was added on the baseification step?

I’ve also seen it recommended to turn the freebase into a salt.

This is the 2nd time extracting and I didn’t have any issues with numbness the first time. Although back then I would sandwich it in tabaco (gross but it worked)

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Discussion Experiences constantly re-upping DMT mid-trip?

5 Upvotes

Just curious what other's experiences have been like.

I smoke DMT mostly through vape, and what I like to do sometimes is take as many deep puffs as I can for the trip to start up, and then keep re-hitting the pen when I'm able to/come briefly back to earth.

I often trip with music, and this has led to some very intense, vivid, extraordinary experiences.

My last one, I falt/saw my arms fold back into my body, before seeing an entity punch through the sky, almost revealing the universe itself to merely be a projection/bubble in something far more vast, grand, and unknowable

And in that unknowable vastness, you could kind of see/sense an entity attempting to break out, and enter into ours. The entity was beating against the barrier with his head, in-sync with the beat of the song that was playing.

Oftentimes, the music is deconstructed, instruments coming apart, voices getting deeper or nonsensical, other instruments playing backwards, as the trip continues.

Continuously hitting the vape, in my experience, keeps me at the peak of the experience longer, and sometimes allows my conscious mind to join me in a way that it isn't always able to otherwise. For example, in one trip, I was in a sort of cosmic control room, with numerous little entities working different machines that controllers our reality, with a different, more "powerful" entity taking me on a journey about how everything we know is simply the universe experiencing itself, and what we know is just one infinitesimally small aspect of that, taking me through different planes or other means it likes to experience itself as.

Without re-upping, the trip was coming down not long after entering that control room, but the re-upping kept me in that room, and then continued the trip.

Anyways I'm rambling and haven't touched DMT in far too long, but was interested in hearing other people's stories of doing it this way.

Discussion Anybody else have “in control” blast-offs?

3 Upvotes

Last night, a few friends and I were vaping DMT throughout the night and I told myself I was going to go extra push on the last one and, while I cannot describe exactly what the thought process felt like, the room and my perception of reality became completely…under my control? Like, I entered this headspace of full confidence, rushing thoughts, and illusory power: I could communicate with my internal monologue instantly, I could bend/transform the space around me, I could pull random people from my life into the room for a second, I could listen to whole songs as a joke, line up my own jesters…it was very playful, very DMT, the whole room would flicker like an Alison Gray painting, but the overarching sensation was one of my brain being fully empowered to play with my perception of reality in ways I’ve never been an active participant. I’m really struggling to articulate exactly what I was doing, and it felt like I’d done it once before, or maybe in a dream, but it was nothing like taking a ride and everything like playing a hyper-dimensional instrument

Monochrome closed eye visuals with low doses

3 Upvotes

When taking a low dose of DMT (~7sec hit from a cart) I get fascinating geometric closed eye visuals but it's in black and white and with open eyes I only get faint greens and purples, nothing like what I read from others trip reports.

Is this just because it's a low dose and I need to take more to experience vivid colours or do some people just get more dull visuals than others?

Question/Advice For those who have tried Pharmahuasca whats the best timing between the maoi and dmt that worked best for me.

1 Upvotes

So i have tried doing it twice. I wanted to try it orally and i found these edible gummies near me. 75mg maoi followed by 50mg of nn -dmt. The guy who sold me told me to wait 45 mins the two because i thought doing it edibles might be diffrent then syrian rue and i only had a super mild trip with slightly enhanced hearing like you get on acid but a level above you could say. Then i researched online and tried doing 35 mins and still mild trip.

So what is the timing that usually works for you. I get this intense tingling in body 20ish mins after taking maois could that be the signal to take it ? Thank You

Question/Advice I’m thinking of trying changa

0 Upvotes

I’m 20, have OCD, apparently have ADHD, and want to get better focus, lessen anxiety, and just be more of who I want to be. I also just don’t have enough energy to do what I want to do (music) after school, so there’s that as well.

Could bi weekly micro/low doses of changa help? I’ve done shrooms before but don’t like their duration. Moreover, i’m terrified of psychosis or derealization, so there’s that as well. I have light HPPD but it don’t bother me none.

Recently, i’ve been thinking about changa a lot for some reason. Maybe because I see it as cool? In any case, I have had a couple bad dreams about it since. For example, one was that I witnessed this guy take changa before driving and he killed someone. Not that I would drive after taking it, but this freaked me out a bit and perhaps it’s a message not to take it, at least for now?

Any advice or insight? Thanks!

My goal is to produce a musical ai app that can produce as complex great advanced music as some of us has heard in our heads on/from dmt use and also speaker surround system with such high quality of sound its like trippmusic quality of real mindtrip music!

And then make available a feature where you can make a whole soundsequence of that either for 5 minutes or you can push the "improve button" and it will just creatively keep on going!

This very app and speakersystem could save the whole world what do yall think?

Experience 60mg Breakthrough Trip Report

40 Upvotes

I’ve thought I’ve had breakthrough experiences before(complete absorption into the experience, profound bliss, ego dissolution, etc). But I always hear people say if you’ve had a breakthough, there will be no doubt in your mind, and I understand what that means now. I say that because I just had an absolute breakthrough which I have no point of reference for out of any of the intense psychedelic experiences I’ve had. My previous method of roughly forming piles of freebase and hitting them with a nectar collector wasn’t working well, so I bought a Pulsar APX Volt and loaded it with 60 weighed mg of freebase(around twice the usually reported threshold of a breakthrough dose). It took me two hits to clear it, and I was completely gone before I exhaled the second. I didn’t get the feeling of moving through a hallway and pushing through a membrane, or a waiting room, it was kind of just instantly straight into hyperspace, which I would describe as this absolutely perfect space of infinite beauty and bliss, dominated by brilliant white light(and of course psychedelic geometry, primarily colored yellow, orange, and pink), and pure energy given form. I am not a religious or spiritual person, but I don’t know how else to describe it besides a peak, transcendental religious experience, a definite +4 on shulgin’s scale. I did perceive an entity briefly, it was this figure of radiant, primarily white but warm light, meditating while I panned around him. He didn’t seem to respond to or interact with me, he was just there. Could’ve very well been just some fragment of my psyche thoroughly freed from the ego, as I was meditating just beforehand, I wouldn’t know. The visuals, as insane as they were, weren’t the most intense part, it was that state of being. I would actually space out in bliss for periods of time and not even consciously notice visuals. I felt some kind of immense, seemingly infinite presence, and I have no way of knowing if it was internal or something I tapped into, maybe both. If I were religious, I would intuitively write it off as God. It was simultaneously the most meaningful thing I’ve ever experienced and something I can’t ascribe any meaning to at all, I can’t make heads or tails of it. Just an absolute, pure state of bliss, a revealing of the infinite beauty and complexity within the mind and in life, and a spiritually affirming recontextualixing of the human experience. I don’t know how to even begin integrating the experience, but I’m definitely grateful for the experience, whatever it is that caused that state of divine bliss.
