Greetings, I'm prepping for my first DMT experience. All i have left to do is build the machine vaporizer. I have never tried any psychedelic drugs before. I heard one user say to start small. My question is how small. I was thinking 1 mg, or to just try to experience only minor effects. I am not completely positive if smoking N,N DMT is for me, or any psychedelics for that matter. I haven't enjoyed many recreational drugs in the past and I am a bit worried of a bad trip.

I would suggest 8-10mg, anything below that and you may not even feel effects. Especially if not vaped properly. You probably wont even get visual effects, just a slight body feeling. If you think you can push past that, try 15mg.

Keep bumping it up by about 5mg at a time until you reach your comfort zone. Just remember, dont burn the spice. This will diminish its effects and will require a larger dose to be used. It needs very little heat to vaporize. Just pull the flame into the bowl, but not far enough to actually touch anything.

If no previous desire to do any psychedelics or enjoyment from recreational drugs, why even bother with DMT of all things. I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm extremely curious as to why you would want to try it. I say that because most people that don't do drugs are usually ignorant to what psychedelics can off you if prepared correctly. Most think you'll die or go insane if you eat shrooms or LSD. At least that's what a guy I work with thinks will happen.

If you're trying trying to ease into I'd suggest making enhanced leaf or definitely some changa, especially with no prior experience. Freebasing at first for me was kinda overwhelming to say the least.

Also don't worry about a bad trip, with DMT they are really just a rough ride, sometimes very difficult to handle but good in the end regardless.

It's all a part of life. And it's all a learning experience. My hardest trip was also the one i learned from the most and has changed me the most. Don't go big though.

My girlfriend just months ago was a psychedelic virgin as well... and her first trips were with dmt at low doses and she was fine and actually found the experiences really interesting. However, she didn't go into it with the mindset that it was a "recreational" drug. I made sure she knew that this can be some serious stuff and that it isn't to be taken lightly. That said, I believe I started her with about 10mg at first. Then 15mg. Then slightly over that... she's only had a few trips with dmt so she hasn't gone deeper than that yet, but definitely start with about 10mg I'd say. 15 if you think you may damage some during the lighting process.


If you go into a dmt trip expecting a "recreational" experience, then you're most likely going to be surprised, but that's not for certain because sometimes the lower doses can seem to be "recreational" but imo even lower doses have hints of a deeper, serious tone to it. This is powerful stuff not to be taken lightly so just remember that and respect the molecule. If your trip is "bad," then when you come down integrate it, analyze it.. ya know? Why was it bad? Ask questions and think about the experience.

Report back and let us know how it went

10mg is a good recommendation. Journey safely.

Well for starters, I'm not sure that I would recommend DMT as a starting point for a person who has no experience with psychedelics. But that's only my opinion. Every time I have introduced a new person to this particular molecule I have always started them with 10mg. Many people don't feel much of an effect from this dose, but you will definitely feel something. After that, like others have said, work your way up in 5mg increments.

On a side note, I would recommend waiting between doses when you are working your way up. I think it is important for a person to allow some time to fully integrate and interpret (as much as possible) their experiences before catapulting their soul back into the depths of hyperspace.

Use caution, but not so much that you create anxiety for yourself. Best of luck to you.

10mg would be comfortable and give you an bit of an idea of what psycedelics are about. At low dose dmt is pleasant stimulating and refreshing with enhance awareness of your surroundings
