Tried DMT for the first time tonight over two attempts. I didn't achieve 'breakthrough' but it was a very interesting experience and I thought I'd share it here particularly since there are a few others from the UK posting and I know of nobody who has heard of the stuff let alone tried it! Previous experience with psychedelics is fairly limited, LSD four times and 2cb three times.
Attempt 1: Loaded up around 20-25mg onto a copper wire ball for my homemade machine. I found it really hard to get the DMT onto the ball and then stuffing it into the bottle without spilling any so probably lost a small amount. Did some deep breathing to calm myself and then put the flame to the bottom of the ball. Very quickly the bottle filled with smoke and I took a deep toke through the bic pen tube I'd duct-taped into the hole in the side of the bottle (my machine really isn't the most aesthetically-pleasing piece of drugs paraphernalia). It didn't taste too hot or harsh and I was able to hold the smoke in for around 20 seconds. At the 10 second point the room suddenly pulled into hyper-focus and I felt myself begin to vibrate. Not shaking, vibrating. And then I heard the 'tone' that steadily got louder and then my hand went limp and I was unable to take a second toke. Suddenly my vision was overlaid with a kind of honeycomb pattern and I closed my eyes. I could see a long - very long - tunnel made up of purple and pink segments that was rotating slowly. Each segment looked slightly inflated almost as if it was a bouncy castle. I felt no fear at all and just enjoyed the lightshow.
Suddenly I was became aware of myself again and was back down to earth. I felt my jaw was incredibly tight, and then felt a tightness in my right temple that moved down through my cheek and across my jaw, and then was gone. I felt very awake and happy. The trip lasted around 3-4 minutes.
Attempt 2: a couple of hours later I loaded the ball with around 35mg, again having difficulty getting the DMT onto the ball. Same deal as the first attempt: I was only able to take a single toke before the world disintegrated. I have no idea how you are supposed to take three! This time I was back in the purply-pink world with my eyes closed. It was noticeably more intense than the first attempt and I was momentarily confused as to what the hell was going on: had I taken a drug, where was I? etc etc. The tunnel was still there but this time it kind of 'shifted' over and other purple, fractal images came into view. And then a very weird thing happened. Arms seemed to emerge from 'underneath' the colours and started caressing me. They were female and yellow, like a person clad in a yellow lycra body-suit. I could sense the rest of the person but couldn't see her, just the arms. And the arms were suddenly to my left, then to my right. And then the purple fractals seemed to open up briefly - very briefly - and through the other side was black space filled with millions of twinkling stars.
Once again I became aware of myself and started coming back down to earth. The trip lasted around 6-7 minutes. I think I got some sense of what DMT can do but don't feel like I 'broke through' although perhaps I had a glimpse of it. It was very cool, very interesting and not half as scary as I feared it might be. That's not to say it won't be in the future, and I certainly intend to experiment further. I didn't have any profound spiritual revelations or anything like that, sorry if my report isn't as exciting as others' - just trying to give an honest account of what happened!
Thanks for reading.
