After a bit of mucking around trying to establish the best way to smoke the spice SWIM had extracted, I loaded up my new glass pipe with some ash and then spice then burned around the bowl to melt it .
After a couple of goes I was experiencing some fairly nice tremors and mild hallucinations but it wasn't until I realised that after the spice had melted a bit and seemingly gotten used to the flame a bit I could carress the blob in the bowl, gently with the flame itself, I took a hard hit of this and immediately the room began to not just melt but literally come alive.
My hands that were holding the pipe took on an orange/reddy glow and my fingers seemed to duplicate and grow eyes. They appeared to be made out of some sort of plasticeney like substance and even though i held the pipe in my hand I could not feel it.

I sat back in the couch and felt as though the room had gotten darker and all of a sudden the faintest whiff of panic crept in but a voice inside told me not to be afraid and these were the words that stayed with me as I gently came back down.

The second trip was intense but this time the room seemed as though it was trying to communicate with me and I got the feeling taht there was some other entity in the room that was not showing itself. I felt as though this was because I was not ready to meet him but I kept expecting him to show himself from behind every cushion in the room or from behind the television,
I hit the pipe again and all of a sudden the room became illuminated with an ever changing spectrum of colours that cascaded effervescently around the room in the form of elongated pineal forms and waves and pulses of light that were peppered with geometrical patterns and numbers.

Everytime I had a good strong trip it always began with me focussing on the pipe and as I would look at the smouldering crystals in the bowl, the small brown product seemed to be resting at an angle that made it look like a fetus that was gestating.

It is without a doubt the most incredible experience of my life but I still feel as though I did not break through fully and that there is more to be explored.

I am eagre to travel further.

Peace x

Congrats on a positive experience Jeff. Once you get over that first step, it almost draws you in, I to want to see how much deeper I can go. Enjoy your journeying jeff

Sounds kinda like my first couple experiences. Once I started smoking from "the machine" they became much more intense, mystical, crazy, peaceful and terrifying in the way DMT only can.

Good luck and just cause smoking technique is mentioned I feel this page could help

Cheers
