Hello, I'm 21 years old and have been eager to try DMT for the past couple months. My first trip is in two weeks. Although, I've mainly just watched podcasts and YouTube videos about it, I feel like I should learn more before I take off.

Any recommendations?

You don't need to do much preparing and it's a short experience. Don't do psychedelics when you're stressed out if that's something you deal with.. Wait for a lull in monthly life, IMO. Not that DMT can go sideways as easily as Mushrooms can for example.

Have a tripper sitter with you so you don't choke on your own tongue.

Vape is much better than trying to smoke. It's hard to heat it just right without wasting it or not taking a big enough dose. You take what you can where you live of course.

Put on a relaxing song you like. It won't do anything for you if you're feeling nervous, but man. It's a lesser experience without auditory hallucinations involving one of your favorite songs in the background as you fade into the black void. Or uh sorry, machine elves and fractal patterns? Wouldn't know since I have Aphantasia :(

Being nervous / anxious before I hit it didn't harm the experience for me. Was just good anyways. Come down was pretty emotional.

This one isn't complicated.

Totally agree with the music point. 'Everything I It's Right Place' still takes me back to the creek of neon organisms I was floating along. It lulled me into that place quite nicely.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Floating too huh cool. For myself the music seemed to be on a row boat bobbing out of sight behind ocean swells on occasion while slowly getting farther away. Then my furnace kicked on and turned into a positive feedback loop of blower motor reverb.

Any suggestions on how to vape it? I usually put it on a bowl of cannabis to smoke it. I would love to find a different way. It’s my preferred hallucinogenic and I love the shorter trip, but my only complaint is it tastes like ass. Does vaping help with that or do I just have to deal with ass mouth? lol

[–] Angelevo@feddit.nl 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The taste will always be.. special. Using a high-end vaporizer, you can set a very exact temperature to ensure the molecule is vaporized, not incinerated. Using direct heat like a lighter is less precise, more prone to burnt product -- which negatively influences taste.

[–] dkppunk@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Thanks! I’ll give that a try next time.

Ideal temp is 160°C - 200°C. Where I live I can safely buy disposables online lol.

But you could also do it with a dry vape, the toaster chamber type. You'd need an accessory glass pipe that fits into the toasting chamber of the vape. The good models usually come with them.
