I was surprised to see that no one had written about DMT on the forum yet as I’m quite sure some of you must have experienced this ‘drug’ ‘medicine’ or whatever it is you wish to call it. I've talked to several people that have taken DMT and there are some similarities in what people experience during the trip but the one thing that repeats itself in everyone that I have talked to is that they have a hard time articulating the experience. Over and over again I hear people say the same thing “It would be ridiculous for me to put it into words” I know I've been guilty of saying this. It may sound like hippy bullshit but the reality is that if you haven’t experienced it then you just won’t understand it. But I’ll do my best to explain a little about it and share my own experiences.
What The Fuck Is It?
N,N-dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is an illegal, psychedelic tryptamine compound found in the human body and in many other forms in nature. It come in a powder form and is ingested by smoking. It has been described by many as the most powerful psychedelic known to man.
As it is still considered an illegal drug the amount of reasearch conducted on it is somewhat limited, but we are learning more about this molecule. What is known is that it’s released when you dream and when you die. It’s theorized that it’s released by the pituitary gland and this is the mystical ‘third eye’ many ancient cultures talk about. The jury is still out on this one
Where Does It Come From?
Human brains, animal brains and many plants including wait for it GRASS. Yes that’s right the most powerful and illegal pyschadelic known to man can be extracted from grass. So why you ask isn’t it more available, because the concentrations are so low that it makes it a lenghly and difficult process.
Where Can I Get It?
Like any illegal drug preferably from a trust worthy source that you know personally, but that probably won’t be the case for you. The average street vendor probably won’t even know what your talking about and your better off. In my opinion if can’t get it from a reliable source then don’t. If your still feeling adventurous however I have heard that the Silk Road is back online and you can find it on that. I was lucky as a mad scientist friend of mine took it upon himself to make his own. The recipe and step by step process can be found online, it took my friend about two days to make around five grams. Which is enough to get the village seeing God

What Is The History Of It?
The use of DMT in Ayahuasca ceremonies in ancient cultures especially in the Amazon can be traced back thousands of years. Whereas the first documented eveidence of a concentrated amount of DMT can be traced back to the 8th Centuary

Is It Like Ayahuasca
Some of you may have heard of Ayahuasca which is used in Shamanic rituals throughout the world namely in tribes in South America. If you want to know about this here’s an article on Return of Kings.
http://www.returnofkings.com/28495/the-s...-your-life
DMT is the main ingredient in Ayahausca and it’s what causes the shamanic trance that people receive. The difference between Ayahuasca and DMT is;
(1) method of ingestion
Ayahuasca is ingested by drinking a special brew made by your local tribal medicine man and apparently tastes like ass. Whereas DMT is in powder form is smoked and subsequently smells like ass.
(2) duration of trip and
A DMT trip is very short and typically 5 – 15 minutes depending on the dose. Personally all of my trips were under 10 minutes. Whereas Ayahuasca lasts for several hours, usually peaking at around 2 – 4 hours
(3) intensity of the trip
DMT being the shorter trip is also significanlty stronger although this is akin to saying an automatic rifle will do significantly more damage than a pistol, at the end of the day both will fuck you up.
How Illegal Is It?
Very fucking illegal, it is considered a Schedule I or Class A in most Western nations.

Although it should be noted that there are exceptions for certain religious practices around the world, most notably in Brazil

What Is The Chemistry Of It?
I am by no means qualified to explain the molecular breakdown of DMT or how it crosses the blood/brain barrier. If you want to know the science behind it, read this

What’s The Trip Like?
I have ingested DMT three times in one sitting and I’ll do my best to describe what happened during each of these, although as noted it’s like trying to explain sex to a virgin, you really need to experience it to be able to comprehend it. Each hit I took was subsequently stronger than the last and each one was more intense and lasted longer. I’ll break down what I experienced during each.
A little about the scene, I was in a mates house (he was the one who made it) with him and one other lad. His woman walked in during one of my trips and the scene that ensued with me trying to act normal was embarrassing to say the least but I digress. We took it in his living room with the curtains closed and the Two that weren't tripping kept silent. This helps the trip, the key is to sit back and close your eyes in an environment with very little sensory input.
First Hit
I won’t lie I was nervous as fuck. I had taken psychedelics before, most notably Acid and Mushrooms and had my share of bad trips (I once went partially blind while on a combination of the two, but that's a story for another day). DMT is considered the Mac Daddy of psychedelics I was about to take off my training wheels and I was terrified. Being Irish I had a few pints to settle me jangled nerves and was drinking a cider in between hits.
I inhaled it from a bong which my friend lit while I held it. It doesnt burn like tobacco or weed so the key is to make sure the bong is full to get a good hit. The first thing I notice is it smells like death, make sure to crack a window. As soon as she was ready I inhaled and laid back on the couch. We have lift off. I immediately felt as though I was moving through space at incredible speeds all the while seeing intense geometric patterns of indescribable colour and beauty. Eventually I could feel myself coming back to Earth so I opened my eyes.
I was met with one of the most magical and comical experiences of my life, I could see the room and my two friends. But everything had taken on a new clour and dimension. The best way I can describe it is the scene appeared as though I was in Super Mario. And every time something moved it was followed by a trail of light. I found the experience equal parts amazing and funny and after a few more minutes I was completely grounded. No God like transcedent experience just some cool shapes and colours. I needed to conduct further research.
Second Hit
Same process as before just a larger dose. I closed my eyes and this time I’m blasted through space at an even higher speed than before and the patterns and colours I perceive are even more intense. Eventually this wears off and I open my eyes to be met with the same scene as before only this time my friends girlfriend walks in. And I proceed to do my best to make small talk with a Super Mario character. Eventually I’m completely sober again
Third Hit
This is turning into a real fun night but I want to go deeper, I want to have the ego dissolving experience that so many people talk about. So once again I increase the dosage. Immeditely after I exhale and lie back on the couch I get hit with overwelming fear and I know I’ve gone to deep. This time I’m blasting through the universe even faster and it’s not like before it’s terrifying and out of control. I panic I want out, I want to leave, I want to go back and that’s when it happened.
Something started to communicate with me and let me know that I had come to far. I communicated back and let this 'being' know that I wanted to go back. That’s when it started laughing at me and that’s when I had my revelation. I couldn't go back because there is no back, no forward left or right, up or down, it’s all just nonsense. These are simply words we use to describe things because we still have only a rudimentary understanding of what space and time is. Everything is made up of the same thing and everything is connected.
This is not exactly an awe inspiring insight, people have been spouting this mantra for donkeys years. But I got to experience it not just have it described to me. So that’s what I got from this, I wasn't a different person after or any of that bullshit but I did take something positive from it. If anyone else has taken DMT share your experience.
P.S.
The last hit was by far the scariest experience I've ever had, I can’t even begin to describe how terrified I was. But well worth the price of admission
