Hey all! So like the thread title says, I've recently come across an "always abundant" supply of DMT (mushrooms also, but that's irrelevant here). It's something I've always been interested in, but have never really sought out. What's everyone's recommended set/setting and method of using? I'm not 100% sure I'm going to explore it, but it's there and I can have it pretty much whenever I want it.
50 mgs in a room with diffused sunlight (I.e. light on a window with closed blinds) either in lotus or laying down, in silence. I do DMT via the sandwich method, the DMT in between a lower and top layer of inert herbs (not weed) in my bubbler with just a bit of water, and light just the upper layer and slowly inhale.
You should absolutely take advantage of an opportunity to try it when it is available. My preferred set and setting involves a hardwood floor with a pillow to recline on, in perfect silence and solitude during the peak moments of twilight, or during the first moments of dawn. It is an experience from which sobriety is fully recovered in under a half hour so nothing needs to be passed over in favor of making a commitment, and this allows for precision in establishing a desired environment. You can also easily and very quickly gauge how far you want to go by approaching it with caution and acute attention, and because you are already familiar with psychedelics you will find it in low doses almost identical to psilocybin visually but having bypassed the introductory introspective phase. Occasionally the low doses will have rather unexpected effects, such as an absence of any hallucinations or visual distortion but to instead induce a most remarkable range of auditory modulation, for example. There is often an alarming and signal high pitched whine that has an impression of ascending in tone, only 'impossibly' so, like a Shepard tone, but what the auditory phenomenon I brought up resembles is something like an echo delay and phasing. I mention this as an aside but because as with all psychedelics, although a familiar and calm set and setting should mollify the various moderate states of discomfort, there is certainly no recourse open to us by which to diminish the bewildering assault of the ineffable once its begun, and there is a specious romanticism around the objective to break-through when even the most seasoned among us may balk once our visions go awry. However, you do not strike me as the type to bring up very much disturbed imagery from the basement, and so I imagine that you will find DMT to be positively astounding. Good luck :cheers2:
Both great responses, and thank you! He always has it in abundance, and has offered to let me try it whenever I'd like. I'm in no rush, but definitely getting increasingly curious.
it depends if you're trying to "break-through" or not. GB advocates for diving right in with 50 mg, and so do a lot of other people. i personally started with ~25 mg or so. it's difficult to vaporize it correctly, you don't want to burn it. but if this guy has an unlimited supply, he likely knows how to dose it better than i do i agree that i silent room with low lighting is the ideal setting. once i have taken it, i generally sit there with my eyes closed. music can be confusing, but i have had it also be pleasant (radiohead).
porkstock: i had one trip on DMT where time slowed down to such an extent that the music sounded like some kind of electronic video game music that aliens might make the music wasn't even EDM, but it was as if i were hearing individual digital samples in the music .. this must be the music that machines listen to
salvia twisted music into the most bizarre experience ever. and one time on LSD i nearly convinced myself that i was able to slow down time, almost to a complete halt, with the help of a particular song.
Protip regarding music or external noise on DMT: Try to avoid an enviornment where undesired music or noise can still be heard even if it's barely audible. On one DMT trip, my roommate was playing Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne in the room next to me and while it was not something I paid much attention to when I was inhaling, as soon as the effects came surging on I picked up the song and it kind of gave me a brief moment of panic and was distracting at the very least. So even if there is like a talk show in the adjacent room or people talking loudly in the surrounding enviornment that very well may negatively effect your trip. With that said, music with the right intention can be absolutely profound while on DMT, it is a strongly synergistic experience with the music influencing the DMT visuals and the visuals reverberating at a pace reflecting the music.
