I've been loading a set low amount, I'm now up to 10mg, at a time and going crazy with it. This is probably good practice for technique but also I don't have to fear going too far because even if I hit it all at once 10mg won't make me lose myself. It is enjoyable and a learning experience, for example a recurring theme I'm dealing with is learning to love myself and I realized that I shouldn't hope to luck out and magically love myself after taking a drug. It is also easing me into ego-death, at my peak I noticed myself slipping away and then I was briefly flirting with giving it up while that phase lasted. While sober I don't know why I would be afraid of real death but when ego death is around the corner I tend to not like it and resist if it comes too forcefully.

I listened to Shpongle the whole time and after the first few tokes I just had fun dancing while toking the rest whenever the buzz started fading.

Just saying, I highly recommend.

Lots of good stuff happening and a good example, that you do not have to start with crazy dosages from the start. Do what feels best, there is lots to discovers!

Yup. Very good method. I was too doing the same for a couple of weeks. Then upped the does to who knows what and got shocked! So I am still just playing around with small amounts until my scale arrives! The only thing about the easing in to it thing, is I have heard there is a point where your ego and breakthrough clash and you kind of get stuck in a loop. Thats what happened with me. I got in some paralized loop stitting up (after laying down) and just stunned with visuals and some weird puzzle type thing that kept making me jerk whenever I tried to do anything to it. Very strange. Kind of scared me a bit, so I have backed off, for fear of getting looped again.
So maybe its to get comfortable with smoking and profecting the method. Then load up 20-30mg and blast off! Then maybe 30-40 down the road. Whatever feels right I guess. But People say DMT unfolds its true powers when in higher doses of 30 or more.
