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?

I have extracted quite some DMT myself and have experience.

  • Get somebody with some experience to make sure you're alright. It's not required as the trip is extremely short and wouldn't really put you in dangerous situations, but it could help you relax, and you'll have somebody that can manage any external stuff that could be happening.
  • If you are using any sort of pipe that gets hot and can burn you, get a person to take the pipe from you or be sure to have some place to easily put it down when the concept of reality starts to fade. The first few times you might not understand what's happening and you could burn yourself by holding or dropping the pipe.
  • Don't look for a special spot to smoke. Just make sure you are in a comfortable position in someplace you'll not be disturbed. Looking for a beautiful spot in nature or some place with external visuals is useless.
  • Don't worry about a low dose to start, or not hitting it correctly and only feeling a little. Getting a taste first is still pretty nice. After some experience you can try and hit it 3 times, which me and my friends consider the sweet spot.
  • Tolerance kicks in extremely fast with DMT. We're talking tens of seconds up to a minute. Smoke as much as possible as fast as possible. After your trip - even when it's and extremely soft one - smoking for a few hours will be useless.
  • Try to learn something and enjoy.
