The largest randomized psychedelic trial in history happened in Brazil. Its strangest finding isn’t about ayahuasca at all.

I was offered it from a vape pen once, and I gave it a try, and the only thing I really noticed was that two-dimensional images looked three-dimensional, and I felt really warm, and as it faded, it kind of felt like a rush of heat went through my bladder, which made me feel like I needed to pee.

It was interesting, it was over in like three minutes, but I probably wouldn't do it again unless I was actually going for psychological benefits.

Oh, I just remembered there was one other side effect, which is weird, as like somehow after doing that, I immediately knew I could write with my right hand almost as well as I could with my left hand, and I tried it, and I could, even though it was still weird and awkward, like I was doing difficult math problems in college again.

I feel like if I kept it up I could become fully ambidextrous now.

To get the full effects of DMT it’s best to have it in a powder form (I think) then take a hit from a crack pipe. When I had a functional vape cartridge I had to take 3-5 pulls in rapid succession to get close to the same effects. That’s the point where you start seeing geometric shapes and maybe an extra dimensional being. The one I met the one time I hit from a pipe suggested I lay off the chocolate milk.

Like you suggested, I don’t think it’s very recreational, but it is a very interesting substance.
