DMT, Round 2: A Failed Expedition
    #7391190 - 09/10/07 09:23 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Saturday, September 8th marked three months to the day since my first experiment with the substance known as dimethyltryptamine. The first time I smoked it (you can read about that here) it was out of a chillum-style pipe, with the DMT crystals packed atop a bed of ash.

This time around, I was much more well-prepared, with a proper pipe for smoking the spice. A crackpipe, essentially. I must say - it feels strange to own one. I knew neither of my roommates would be home that night, and that was something I was glad for - I didn't want anyone knocking on my door to see if I was home, and then opening it to check, and seeing me passed out on my bed clutching a, well, a crackpipe.

I wasn't set on smoking the DMT. But I was thinking about it - all day long. I spent the night at home, copying music from my roommate's hard drive, listening to music, smoking pot, just being. 2:30 AM rolled around and I realized there was only one reason I was really still awake - behind the curtain of my thoughts, the possible drama of a DMT experience was dancing in my mind.

I changed my breathing - deeper, slower, calmer - and set myself up in my room. I loaded a dose into the bulb of the pipe, though how many milligrams that dose was I could not tell you - without any sort of precision scale I was left having to eyeball the dose. I simply put in what looked like more than I smoked the last time - though I've come to believe it was probably less.

The first hit was far more pleasant than it had been my first time smoking. This kind of pipe is simply ideal for smoking DMT - yes, I know, it's possible to smoke DMT out of various pipes and indeed a bong, but something about this kind of pipe, a crackpipe or oilburner pipe or freebase pipe as I know they're called, simply lent itself to the DMT quite nicely.

For one, the smoke was far less harsh than out of a chillum. I was steeling myself for a nasty, putrid smoke but I found that I did not mind the vapor one bit. The taste was not nearly as nasty as I had remembered it from the chillum experiment either.

After the first hit I felt I was headstrong enough to continue on with the experiment. I felt comfortable, as if I knew how I had to set my mind to prepare myself for the DMT experience. In fact, I felt psychologically empowered in a way that has often been lacking in my everyday life. I felt driven to go forward.

The second hit, upon exhalation, brought me back to the same place I had been after the second hit my first time smoking. Overwhelmingly beautiful visuals took over immediately. It was almost as if I exhaled the vapor and it bled into all the reality around me to give it that wavy, twisty, loose nature. My heart was racing and my breathing had quickened a bit. I was, to put it quite frankly, overwhelmed.

But I moved ahead. I lifted the freebase pipe, and put the butane lighter to it once, and here is where my fatal flaw was made - fatal for a breakthrough experience, at least. With trembling hands (the body load at this point was becoming tremendous) I held the pipe with my left hand and put the butane lighter under the bulb with my right. I simply did not hold it for long enough at all to create the amount of vapor I needed for a breakthrough.

And the worst part of it was that I knew that. As soon as I set the pipe down (I couldn't hold it anymore, I couldn't smoke anymore...I simply was being dragged down into my mind by the experience) I lay back on my bed and closed my eyes. It was clear to me at that moment, right away, that I would not be "getting anywhere." So I simply laid back, feeling a bit disappointed, but tried to make the most of it.

I saw some of the most stunning visuals I've ever been privy to. Psychedelic checkerboards, undulating lattices, all with a quality that is lacking in LSD and psilocybin. Something about these DMT visuals left me convinced that I was visualizing the inner workings of a part of my own mind that I simply do not have access to during the bulk of my wakeful existence.

Eventually I opened my eyes, disappointed, and rose to move into the living room. I don't know why but I expected to be "better" much sooner than I was - frankly, this halfway-there feeling was uncomfortable and unpleasant, but I knew it wasn't the end of the world. I lay on my couch in the living room, listening to the Nick Lowe record I'd left playing when I went to smoke the DMT in my room.

After a while, the unpleasantness passed, and I drank a lot of water. I said aloud to myself, "Well, that was a failed exploration." And that's how I feel now - like an explorer with the tools at his disposal to go where he needs to go, who simply didn't make it this time. This time. But next time..

heh, it happens.

i especially hate the stalled trips where it was only due to the fact that i didnt load enough into the pipe. ill go for that 3rd or 4th hit, but theres nothing there! that half way dmt trip is quite dissapointing at the time, but its still worth the visual display. as far as visuals go, dmt is IT.

how's your WOW?

The visuals seems much more tangible and real than anything else I've ever experienced. They have a totally "3D" physical quality to them, and INSANE textures.

Something tells me the break between round 2 and round 3 will be briefer than this last one.

dmt crosses that line between hallucination and vision. once the visuals slow down enough to where you can actually make sence of them, it is real. no doubt in my mind while im there... its amazing, and i need to get on top of some root bark with the quickness. need a job first though, lol.

I'm amazed at how everyone (myself included) just knows right after setting the pipe down whether they will breakthrough or not


you aren't actually touching the flame to the glass, are you? just let it sit under there until you see vapors start rising from the now liquefied crystals, then begin inhaling. pull in as much as you can, then re-light if you want/need more...generally I keep hitting as hard as I can/holding in as much as I can until everything has fallen apart around me and I'm shooting through


definitely look into getting a scale (even a centigram scale is better than nothing and can be had for $10-15)

I definitely torched it properly, held the flame under the bulb but not against it, stopped lighting it as soon as the DMT started "bubbling," waited to see the vapors form and then sucked em down.

I'm very intrigued by the description of your tripping experience with that stuff. I've heard lots of crazy stories about it.

Interesting that it forms naturally in your brain.

I don't know how to describe how big it is. It's big enough. I took a business card, folded it in half, and put the DMT on it. Then I put the freebase pipe between two little figurines I have to keep the slot facing up. I held the business card with the DMT in my left and with my right used a paper clip to knock the DMT down into the pipe. I got it all in except maybe 3 tiny flakes.

Good read.

I was interested when you said "Psychedelic checkerboards, undulating lattices, all with a quality that is lacking in LSD and psilocybin."

I can compeltely attest to this. The one time I have indulged in N,N DMT, one the best qualities I beilieve was the crispness, and complete clarity of colors and shapes. So viberant, so colorful. It indeed turns your vision from regular output to HD if thats any comparason.

this kind of makes me wonder if it's pre-decided by the users attitude. i personally haven't done dmt but generally you should leave an open mind about these things, especially substances like that.

So here's something else I was left feeling, after my experience and during my experience as well, that I left out of my initial report.

My first time doing DMT there was a "presence" within the experience, communicating with me somehow. And though I did not report on such a presence in this experience - its absence was notable. I could not decide if I had set myself up to expect a presence, because I got the distinct feeling that "it" felt it had no time for me, if I was going to be messing around and taking a dose that wouldn't push me past the threshold. I got the distinct impression "it" was hiding behind my visuals.

I'm really envious. I have no desire to take psychedelics anymore unfortunately, but I would LOVE to try DMT. It sounds like you had an amazing time despite the fact that you didn't completely get there.
