i don't understand why so many people describe their DMT trips as bad trips feeling terrible, etc

for me, every time I take DMT I feel very very very excited, the more I take the more euphoria I get, even like very high doses

OK, maybe worth mentioning that I have a huge psychedelic(and not only) experience, like hundreds of acid trips, and like in my life i'm very accepting and chill, lived around the world

OK, i answered my own question, when people describe their bad trips, they always mention that they try to fight against "it", but like I realized that you don't fight "it", this "it" always wins, and the harder you fight "it" the header "it" will beat you

everyone have a good trip ❤️

Most people have to deny a part of their psyche to function day to day. That accountant has to suppress that once childhood dream of inventing a solution to global warming. That real estate agent is constantly turning from the pocket of their brain that imagined becoming the next great sculptor.

For people who have built their entire means of survival by denying a part of themselves, experiencing the death molecule can lead to the realization of a life unlived. For them, accepting that misstep can feel like a threat to their source of food and shelter. So, they fight the trip. Their struggle is the nightmare.

No struggle, always give up, the god of psychedelics can even be merciful and become your friend

p.s. your speech is inspiring

You answered your own question, Mr. I'm very accepting and chill.

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but like, can they just stop fighting "it" and love it and accept it

I think it comes down to how you live outside of the experience like OP with their positive experiences and having a positive view of things. I'm not really into the psychedelic thing, but have been using ketamine troches for mental health issues and my experiences are very emotional with pretty heavy crying. My life outside the ketamine is pretty sad so when under its effects it all comes out. Ideally I'd like to give psilocybin a shot due to its very powerful effects on things like PTSD, but ketamine is all I can get here legaly.

The potential for a bad trip personally is #1 shrooms by a wide margin if it's anything over a single gram. Definitely the worst because they're more emotional imo.

LSD is my go to. Most stable on it, especially if I'm outside just walking around.

DMT despite making a bunch of it, only used once so far. I had a great time. Euphoria afterwards was amazing. I enjoyed ego death, no fight. So intense though and I hit it properly first try. Haven't worked up the nerves to revisit. Even though I get no visuals in general closed eyes. Aphantasia even DMT can't override.

Now that we got DMT vape carts in Canada I'm wanting to revisit because I can control dosage way better and experiment. I've always heard the opposite: that DMT is hard to have a bad time with.

every post and every video i see mentioning says or has one person saying that their effect was terrible and DMT taught them to love your life because they're happy they're alive and not on DMT

for me mushrooms are very fun, the reason why I don't take them more often is that I start being mean to people xD like make a lot of clever risky jokes as in life, but the clever part gets lost in shrooms, and the risky part I fail xD

also, the aftereffects, good point, I really love DMT aftereffects. I'm still shocked about what just happened, euphoria, beautiful, interesting. i even think for me the aftereffects last much longer than should because I enjoy them (like because I embraced the cosmos, and now cosmos wants to stay with me more)

I complain about my lack of DMT.

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

you can make it in every part of the world pretty easy, and you should 🫵 it's a very important human skill to make dmt

I enjoyed it, though my experience was so intense and profound I don't really have any desire to experience it again. Plus, smoking it was very unpleasant, but far less so than, say, eating mushrooms, and the flavor lingers far less.

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

about smoking.. yes.. smoking changa or doing from a vape feels very heavy like nothing else

doing acid is very pleasant, mj food is awesome, mushrooms are OK but better in tea, lemon, other foods

The thing is everyone has varying experiences with life and psychedelics (or lack thereof). It has more to do with where you're starting from than how you react, think, or act on the psychedelics sometimes.

[–] Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i really don't understand how it can be possible, every time a trip starts and finishes I laugh a lot from confusion that some people feel bad from DMT

like when my room breaks down into realities and parts of my body start to disappear from the history of existence my thoughts are "this is beautiful and interesting, what are those people talking about"

[–] degen@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

The weird part of experience is that we can't truly understand an experience that is disparate from our own in the first place. It can be so unreal and ego piercing in both directions, and everyone has a different baseline and propensity for freaking out.
