I have posted here before about DMT, I still have not done it yet, I have experience on using shrooms mostly. I have never done LSD or any other psychedelic besides Molly if you want to consider that a psychedelic. I am pretty nervous about the whole idea and have been doing quite a bit of reading. Never had a bad trip doing shrooms, always a great time, probably have done them 15-16 times in my lifespan so far. I do suffer with anxiety but shrooms seemed to make that 100% better, as a matter of fact I felt free and so happy on Mushies. So I do understand that, this (DMT) takes it to a whole new level. Once again im worried about a bad trip. I was also worried about a bad trip on mushrooms but that never happened.. Ever.
I was considering doing mescaline before trying DMT as it was recommended. I would most definitely low dose the DMT, as I did with Mushies each trip (1g to 2g to 3.5 to 4 to 5 and so on).
So What im asking is, if it's probable for one to get a bad trip on DMT?
I'm sure it is but what's the likelihood?

I understand your trepidation, and for many reasons it is warranted.
If you do enough research/read about DMT experiences, you'll come across a common meme: the DMT experience itself is post-verbal (or maybe hyper-verbal?), language cannot do it justice, "I cannot describe what actually happened", ect ect. I think this is the nature of this substance, and in many sense, it transcends a possible "bad trip".
I have a belief that there is no such thing as a "bad trip" (foregoing physical/bodily harm to the tripper/those around the tripper). I think these substances have a way of showing you, to yourself. What might be interpreted as "bad" "demonic" "insert negative association here" is actually a self-perception or belief that YOU are ultimately responsible for. The integrative model suggests that you actually engage with these feelings as they arise to try and learn from them. It's all what you do with the information.
My personal experience with DMT felt bizarre, possibly uncomfortable, but certainly not "bad". The first feeling I had after blasting off for the first time (by myself, VERY excited/nervous) was an overwhelming sense of "AH HA," and that I had suddenly remembered something that was long forgotten, yet ironically I had always known. The transition is fast, and as soon as I entered the ever increasing colored fractals, I felt connected to a "higher" sense of myself, and all my fears and anxiety concerning what I anticipated the experience was going to be like disappeared.
At this point, my inner "vision" clarified upon an entity, a sort of multi-limbed, ever moving, hindu god-esque creature covered in eyes. The gaze of the eyes was piercing, and I felt totally vulnerable and translucent in front of this being. This wasn't "bad" per se, but wasnt' necessarily "comfortable". The experience tapered off as this crystal vision receded. This experience, for me, fruited many metaphors that I am still unpacking to this day. Powerful stuff.
Ultimately, and if nothing else, it's fast acting. If you find yourself uncomfortable, you'll be down in 5-10 minutes (although the subjective experience might feel like a lot longer.
Cheers mate! Good luck with your goals, I've seen some of your other posts about body building and weight lifting. Psychedelics are powerful tools when used in integrative and empowering ways.

Ive had some pretty scary trips on DMT but must say that 99% of them have been very positive. Usually it is my own fear that gets in the way of the experience by being really anxious of what might happen to me etc. Many times when trying to prepare myself for the blastoff on high dosage >30mg I get a bit anxious and nervous of what might happen but then when I actually hit it and get in there I come back and never ever regret taking a high dose like that, it is many times the opposite to what I expect (and I usually expect the worst). So I come back and get so happy I managed to face my fears by actually pushing myself to smoke it that I want to do it again and again and again. Then endup with a whole day of tripping until I get spooked and dont dare to touch it for some time.
To deal with it go slow and work your way up, get a good scale so you can accurately measure 12mg etc (0.001g scale). Have as a mission to find what dose you need to take for the room to transform into tetris(when reality gets deconstructed) and keep yourself below that and do that for some time until you get comfortable with the whole technique of smoking the stuff. Then look for next step which is the dose needed to transport yourself fully to the other side and then do those trips.
