trying to find a ratio of good to bad trips

I am interested in finding out the ratio of good trips to bad trips on DMT. If you've done it, did you have a good experience or bad? If you've done it more than once, were they all good/all bad or a split? This is kind of informal research for something I was talking/thinking about in/for one of my classes.

done it once, was incredible; couldn't stand or walk; let alone talk but it was great. it was rebirth.

What about you guys?

 

I don't think you can qualify DMT in terms of good and bad trips, unless you don't take enough. It just kind of is.

 

interesting...perhaps that is why people haven't responded.

I haven't personally known anyone to have a bad trip...but when I first tried it, I was at a burn and the person who was spreading the love said several people thought they were dying.

thanks dude, i appreciate the input...would you say that it's because it's so overwhelming it's hard to classify?

Because I know during the trip I was ok, but in hindsight classifying it would have been impossible. But after the trip I was overwhelmed with this burning passion in my chest that I can only describe as pure love. For the next few hours and everytime I reflect on that trip I get an ecstasy like feeling. I don't know if that makes sense, but I hope it does.

Perhaps I am curious how people felt post-trip? (with where I am going that makes a bit more sense anyway)

 

This is how it goes for me with vaporized DMT:

Every trip starts out bad. I get filled with incredible anxiety as I start to come up. It's so bad usually, I feel like I am on the verge of completely freaking out. But this initial "blast off" is short and confusing, that I never have time to actually totally loose it. The come up on this stuff is real fast, most of time I don't even know what the hell is going on. Like I've completely forgetten everything. I don't even know what the hell a lighter and a pipe is for, even while starring at it. Everything looks alien.

Once that is over, I'm propelled into hyperspace if I managed to smoke enough. This is an incredible place. Extremely visual. Bizarre. Hard to explain in words really. This is usually a pretty neutral place for me... I'm neither frightened or happy. Just filled with incredible awe. It can be frightening sometimes, but usually I am so detached and so far out there, that my fear is irrelevant to me. Again... its hard for me to explain.

Then I start to come back to earth. This is really the best part. I get filled with so much relief, love and happiness. I feel renewed, just like I would after any intense psychedelic experience. These wonderful feeling can linger around for hours or even days. Its really beautiful. DMT is so awesome.

 

I have never had a bad time on DMT per se. But I have had extremely agonizing times on ayahuasca. Ayahuasca has crucified my ego many times.

 

dmt always has a "bad part" ego death is intense sometime more than u want. its brilliant, godly yet fells like death which is generally no bueno

 

I've had both. My first bunch of times (maybe 10-20) with a good dose, were completely awesome (in the true sense of the word.) Extreme bliss and joy through the whole thing. Even the come up was nice....maybe a little scary, but it was like a part of me was always there saying it's okay...don't worry. (some might call it an entity...but I'm not so sure.)

I have had some bad times. Worst times are when I think I have killed myself, and that my family and friends will find me dead. This had filled me with some of the greatest sorrow I have ever felt...because I felt like I made everyone sad that I died and was being reckless. I also once thought that I somehow caused problems with a friend's unborn baby. I'm not sure how that happened...but I thought that the second hand smoke or just the intensity of my trip killed the baby. The friend wasn't there or anything....it was just some twisted mind thing.

The ratio good to bad is probably still very high...maybe 10 to 1 or 20 to 1.

Also, even after those intensely bad trips, I always came back for more. Both of those times I mentioned above, I tried again that night because I wanted to counter act the bad trip.

I also wonder if it's the batch of DMT. I think the second batch was made with bought powder from a different source, which the first was bought as big pieces of root. I wonder if there could be other alkaloids causing mischief in the newer batch.
