My friend SWIM has got his hands on a good amount of DMT recently after a long time of searching and was seeking tips/advice before his first blast off. He is looking to blast off on the first attempt as he does not want to continually use the substance. He has a healthy respect for the molecule as it both completely intrigues him and terrifies him. He feels that he is ready to experience the void, and all the knowledge it beholds. He has questions and seeks answers but doesn't know what his questions even are. He was a 3 year pot smoker but quit for about a year. He has taken MDMA once and had a wonderful experience. However it took a lot to get him high, he took 1 1/2 and pure MDMA crystals before he felt anything. He also experimented once with speed and coke, did an extremely high amount and felt nothing with either. He is afraid that his high tolerance to "chemical drugs" will prevent him from having a blast off.

Any tips/advice on how to blast off along with mental preparation would be highly appreciated thank you

Just smoke it. Pay special attention to your smoking method. It requires a little bit of practice. The dmt melts pretty quickly, and then you can smoke it. The vapor is very easy on the lungs if you don't burn it. If you are coughing , you are either using too strong herbs or you are burning DMT. A piece of stainless steel scrubber is extremely useful. Consider using one.

I am also fairly chemically tolerant. I also need high amounts of DMT to feel anything. But nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of harmaline. (atleast i hope so)

Be prepared to journey and experiment with DMT. When you first smoke DMT is where you start your journey. It's not yet the end

Don't be afraid. Just... Enjoy the ride. If you want to break-through. Fill your pipe with loads of DMT. And hold in the vapor for as long as possible.

Thank you very much I will try to hold it in as long as possible ^_^ what herbs do you recommend using for the sandwich method? and can you buy these herbs at local head shops

I recommend Mullein or some really smooth smoking Marihuana if your going for the sandwich method. Using herbs that are not mind-numbing like marihuana can help in clarity of the experience and remembering the experience.

You can also just stack a few screens and load the DMT on top of used weed. This does not make for a very nice taste however. (actually, i haven't tried it yet but i suppose it will still taste better than burned weed) I still prefer a piece of steel scrubber. cheap and effective.

The issue with sandwich method is that you have to smoke waay more to get the DMT in. 5 hits is not uncommon. But that is something you just have to find out for yourself. And see how you prefer to smoke it.

I heared a break-through is almost garuanteed when you can succesfully smoke 20-50MG of dmt in one single hit. I nearly broke-through for the first time a couple of days ago when i vaped about 35mg of pure DMT. The longer i held in the louder the sound became. And i felt the DMT hallucinations where cheering for me the entire time. And rewarding me for my courageous attitude i had at the time.

No need to be afraid. The only thing stopping you from having a good experience is your own fears. Don't be afraid, ever. In life.

Oh, share with us your experiences please! i'd love to hear how it goes. I myself have smoked about 5 times this week. First time tripping for 7 minutes. All the other times have been 1-2 minute and weak experiences. But enchanting and mystical non-theless.

I figure, i need to take a little break and give some time to intergrate feelings i have gotten from DMT. It has a weird way of surfacing unconscious feelings and thoughts that are lingering. I think i need to get these straight before i venture any further now.

haha that's so cool thank you SWIM will be smoking for the first time in 12 days (it's on his calendar ) SWIM is doing it at a very good friends house where he rolled on E for the first time. He has this large ROOR bong that he fills all the way to the top with ice and SWIM was going to have his first experience with that bong, a torch lighter, and sandwich method with 50mg of N,N. SWIM is pretty excited and has looked forward to this for a very long time )

Whoaaah !!! Sounds fricking awesome! Say hi to the elves for me

Can I suggest that you start with 20mg and work your way up in 5mg increments.
50mg for your first go may well be very overpowering
Especially if you're not too experienced with psys.

haha fingers crossed man !!

Cyb - many people have said to start lower than 50, i might try 30-40 but i really want to blast off my first time. It's the overwhelming factor that really excites me, if you ease into the experience i feel like it takes away some of the novelty of it. I want to just plunge deep into it and experience the alternate reality.

OK...don't say you weren't warned.

Cyb, how many experiences did you have with DMT before you experienced a blast off? and on what dose did you blast off with?

you can breakthrough with 20-30mg

since it is your very first time and you have no idea how sensitive or tolerant you are, I would suggest to go as low as 15-20mg just to see what its all about than you can up it to whatever you want (no point in going past 55-60mg).


and no easing into it will not take away from the novelty factor, a 15-20mg 'trip' can give you quite the sensation but when your completely out of body breakthrough, nothing leading up to that can diminish the experience...not even past breakthroughs

there's no reason to rush this thing, dmt's for real and you'll get there when your there, i have friends that breakthrough on 20mg for several minutes and another with 70mg and only a light headed feeling [with proper smoking technique and all!]

but ultimately your not going to die from it, so go ahead with what you want

Swim will be swimming in clunky antiquated terminology ..........
