i acquired 2 50mg doses from a friend, and me and my friend decided to try it today. we smoked it in a chillum, putting a layer of tobacco on the bottom and then sprinkling the dmt on top. we didnt torch it, we made sure to keep the flame far enough away that it wouldnt burn directly. took probably 6-7 big hits each. neither of us felt anything super crazy... for me it was very much like taking a hit of salvia. there was a moment for maybe 20 seconds or so where it was pretty intense, just in a dissociative way and not in any kind of hallucinations or anything. i didnt hallucinate at all really, no more then i have on low doses of acid or shrooms. so what was the problem? from what i've read, 50mg is plenty to get to the breaking point i've read about. did we have some flaw in how we smoked it? could it have been less then 50mg and we were unaware? we didnt have a way of weighing it out, i was told from the person who gave it to me what the doses were. i'd like to try it again if i was sure that i would reach significant effects. for me, the awful taste wasnt worth the small, 5 minute long "trip" i had.
You may have burned it instead of vaporized it, which would explain the bad taste. Or, it might not have been real DMT or good DMT. Or...like you said, maybe it was less than 50mg.
ive read that three hits is enough, and i took like 6-7 hits just to smoke all of it. i have no idea how someone could smoke all of that in just three hits. i also spaced the hits out pretty far, like it was over the course of 5 minutes or so that i actually took in all the hits, because i was starting to trip and wouldnt be able to take another hit, but after the first initial real dissociation i didnt really get it back, even though i still had like half the bowl left. should i have smoked it faster?
To fully experience DMT, you have a short window to get it all down. It is sometimes a challenge. If it takes too long to get it all down, then you won't breakthrough. I'd say 2 minutes or less would be good. 5 or more might be too long. Try using something other than tobacco, and maybe something other than a chillum. Mullein is much less harsh and burns at a good temperature so that it does not heat the DMT too much. Put the herb on top of the DMT too, so that it helps buffer between the heat source. With a chillum, you can't really see in the bowl while smoking, which might make it harder. At the perfect temperature, without anything else, I think it's possible to vaporize 50mg in 2 or 3 big hits. But when there's tobacco or mullien in there it might take more.
Yah just echoing peacegrow put a layer of herb on top of the DMT as well, unlike Salvia DMT burns at low temperatures so you don't really want to torch it. It's usually recommended to smoke in a oil burner pipe but it can work really efficiently in more traditional pipes if you just don't try to torch it like weed or Salvia. Also really deep and slow inhalations are most effective and you don't need to hold it in like Salvia.
you vaped it too slowly. gotta get those hits in QUICK. back to back until you are done also, you might wanna close your eyes after you're done smoking. at least with sub-breakthrough doses, for me, everything looks pretty normal with eyes open, but with eyes closed there is the most detailed, beautiful geometry
