I'm from Australia and I have done DMT 5 or 6 times. Ever since I heard about it I was very excited and wanted to try it. When I finally got to try it, I loved it, and it has stuck with me ever since.
I love the attitude of this forum and how relaxed everybody is. It feels like a very loving community and I'm glad to be able to be a part of it.
Interesting stuff.
I have been reading a good deal about DMT in Australia...it seems it's becoming fairly popular down under.
For me personally, the first time I smoked DMT, I think the first thing I said after was "I'm never doing that again!"
DMT takes a good deal of courage for me, every time, it never seems to get much easier, which is why I always enjoy speaking to those who can use DMT without "the fear"...some can do it, though I don't see the fear as being negative, I think it actually validates the experiance in many ways...
Any way, welcome. I look forward to reading your future posts.
I'll leave with a terence mckenna quote regarding fear and the flash
Quote:One of the interesting characteristics of DMT is that it sometimes inspires fear - this marks the experience as existentially authentic. One of the interesting approaches to evaluating such a compound is to see how eager people are to do it a second time. A touch of terror gives the stamp of validity to the experience because it means, "This is real." We are in the balance. We read the literature, we know the maximum doses, the LD-50, and so on. But nevertheless, so great is one's faith in the mind that when one is out in it one comes to feel that the rules of pharmacology do not really apply and that control of existence on that plane is really a matter of focus of will and good luck.
I'm not saying that there's something intrinsically good about terror. I'm saying that, granted the situation, if one is not terrified then one must be somewhat out of contact with the full dynamics of what is happening. To not be terrified means either that one is a fool or that one has taken a compound that paralyzes the ability to be terrified. I have nothing against hedonism, and I certainly bring something out of it. But the experience must move one's heart, and it will not move the heart unless it deals with the issues of life and death. If it deals with life and death it will move one to fear, it will move one to tears, it will move one to laughter. These places are profoundly strange and alien. -terence mckenna
