Every since I absorbed, "SPICE" into my mind/body/spirit, about two years ago now. There are random days where I swear I smell it or taste it in my mouth as if its right there, its a very interesting sensation because there is none around me and I'm at school or work when this happens or any where, where one would not be doing "SPICE". Has this happen to anyone else?!?

Yeah it happens,

there's a thread on this somewhere.

I had a freind whos roomate tried to smoke the friends spice while he was at work..

He said he could smell it while he was working and he "knew" that his roomate was breaking into his stash.

this happens to me reasonably often

Isn't there a word for this? When you become familiar with something.. then you start seeing it everywhere(or smelling it)

Yeah, I stopped reading after : "It occurs naturally in human feces and has an intense fecal odor."

that' skatole, slightly different from indole

Well, I call it 'olfactory flashbacks'. But that's just me
But I agree, it is a very striking effect. All my DMT-smoking friends have it too. Perhaps even my cat does. I think it's a natural function of the brain, brought out so strongly by the DMT. And I love it!

..this is a commonly reported phenomenon..
i think DMT (or indole) has an archetypal smell (like orange)

I was also wondering this. I get it too. Makes me smile.

I get it.

I get it from electric-coil stoves alot. Also randomly it's like I smell it as if it is on my upper lip...

yes it happens to me also.

so if brain can make us feel dmt in out mouths then it can also make real dmt right ?

or maybe not

Oh yes, over time I've learned to differentiate between all kinds of rc and plant tastes/smells. Wish I had this skill with wine

Ive recently moved to south east asia and I smell it a lot here. I think its from some sort of cleaning fluid they use because I can walk into some places and it is stinking of dmt, same with some bathrooms its great because dmt smells so good. I'd smell it randomly back home like folks are saying, from no apparent source.

I was just about to post a thread about this.
It happens to me everyday.
Sometimes only once, and its usually when I exhale.
Amazing...:]

One time this black chick I know at school smelled exactly like DMT kept freaking me out and I kept having to move in closer for a whiff. But sure enough smelled like it every time!

Because she is black, i'm certain...!

Ontopic:

Yes, sometimes.

smells are closely tied to memory and emotion. this is most true in rodent brains due to high reliance on smell in general, but in humans it is so closely tied that way because of our distant early mammal ancestors, who were similar to modern rodents.

the psychedelic substance psilocybin allows more free association and flow of ideas is to occur, mainly in the cerebellum thinking portion of the brain. deeper portions of the brain are associated with emotions and memories, and in depression this area is markedly in overdrive, while psilocybin studies showed decreased activity with depressed patients, expressed by an overall relief to them personally.

though since they only studied the depressed at that time, there was no way to determine how it affects non depressed patients. this could affect the usefulness of this idea.

but perhaps, since members of ayahuasca churches have lasting positive effects from such substances, maybe a free association of mind is more easily done after taking dmt. and, if thats the case, perhaps a memory was allowed to associate backwards, so that something (not any one thing, but rather a perspective-instant) could remind you of dmt so well that you can smell it.

i think ive strayed from your topic though :/ you said you smelled it just out of the blue?

happens to me fairly often with the smell of weed, but im in a city where im just likely to run into that smell.

...

WAIT.

i just connected now that, since a recent planning for and consummating an experiance with mushrooms, ive smelled the mushroom smell, like once every couple days... im sure it started after a day-or-3-before test dose, rather than with the larger amount (during the recent eclipse).

and im not sure if im in a city where im likely to run into that smell. the musky fungus-in-hay smell thats just slightly and uniquely off-kilter.

this was a time-limited phenomena though, as it seems to have not happened for a while. but it rained today, so maybe it may again. darn screwy data!

anyway, that might be another piece of evidence for you?

hope this wasnt a waste of your time

Grandma says you get really high if you smoke it on these days PLrrrrrrrrrrr
