I snorted 90mg of DMT for the first time ever at 7:10PM, within thirty seconds I felt like I was on a rocket ship flying in the sky. I quickly grabbed myself to hold on, shapes became indescribable and the colors were flowing so fast I couldn't comprehend. I was no longer in my office.

I have read "if you have to ask, you didn't break through." However I seen many small yellow aliens riding school buses, I don't remember talking to them but they all had cartoonish smiles and were looking at me circling me extremely fast. From what I have read this falls into the breakthrough to DMT land. I shot out of a rocket ship, I met aliens. However they were not showing me or enlightening me at all. Which was what I was expecting with a breakthrough.

I am also kind of skeptical this was a breakthrough as it was my first time taking DMT. I read it takes many times to breakthrough, however with this being an above average dose I may actually have.

This trans lasted about 4 minutes and during it, I was completely locked up in my seat. However I felt as if it had been 30 minutes. During this whole trans I heard the helicopter noise the whole time. Once out of this trans I proceeded to trip balls in a bad way, I thought I'd make my way into my room to lay down with the lights dimmed.

I left my office at 7:21. One of my cats started freaking out circling me which was freaking me out bad. I stripped clothes and tried to lay down and he started trying to lay on my head, I grabbed him and threw him in the bathroom. This is odd because I have seen documentaries on DMT and some believe cats can sense DMT and that's why they eat mice's heads first, and my cats was doing all this none sense right after I took it.

I came back and started blowing my nose as the pain was finally setting in, it was unreal. I've snorted my fair share of compounds but this was unlike anything else. Trying to lay down did not work as I kept going back into a trans and that was freaking me out more. So I sat up and felt like I was going to puke, I'm glad I didn't eat before hand. I contemplated beforehand it as I hadn't eaten in hours. I grabbed my trash can and sat back down. I just stared at the clock and continued to trip hard.

My other cats this whole time were walking polygons. I kept having feelings of doors being opened around me and could feel presences around me. Which for me is normal when doing a psychedelic but this was amplified. I stared at my clock and it was 7:29. Time was going so slow, about this time it started going a bit faster. However at this point I was convinced it had been hours since I had taken it. I held out until 7:41 before texting my cousin asking him to level me out. I would have done it sooner but I couldn't have worked my phone prior to this.

I was still tripping bad until 7:48ish and I started coming down. It felt like a heavy acid trip at this point. I was very drained and my head was killing me because of my nostril pain. I continued to blow my nose and at 7:53 I snorted a bit of water to pass the rest of it through my nostril. It all ended up going into my mouth and I could spit it out. I know these last few time stamps because of my text messages. The others are all estimates, besides the 7:21, I vividly remember seeing that. I also know when I first took it at 7:10 as I checked my internet history because I had pulled up a song prior to snorting as I thought I may want to put some music on once I'm tripping(LOL). After I passed the rest with water, that took me down about 10 levels. From here I slowly drifted back into being in this realm.

I'm not sure if it was the above average dose, the fact I snorted it, the fact I was alone, or just DMT doesn't react well with me but it was not an enjoyable experience. I was not nervous going into it, I expected a slow going experience as that's what I read happens when you snort it. However I was blasted off for far longer than I expected to be. I read you could mix the DMT with water or coconut cream so it's not as harsh. However I knew the water would make it pass through and from what I read you want it to stay in your nasal cavity so I snorted it by itself. I want to send the rest to a lab to see the exact compound breakdown to see if I had just DMT or maybe mixed with some other stuff. It came to me as a white yellow/tanish powder. Once crushed up to snort it resembled fluffy brown sugar. A buddy I know confirmed it looked identical to what he has always done. It did not dissolve in water, I tried this test to confirm I received freebase and not salt for anyone wondering.

I also did not bring anything of value back with me. I usually bring some kind of understanding or acceptance after a psychedelic experience, rather it be from LSD, shrooms, 2CB. This was honestly just a bunch of none sense. Maybe I'll try smoking it down the road, I could see 10min of this being "fun" around others who take care of you. However 40 minutes by myself at full blast was awful. I remember most of my experience, which is odd as most people claim to not remember much. With this being said I wrote this after I woke up on the 28th and have revised and rewrote some and it's definitely harder to remember than even this morning. I can't bring back the colors and shapes etc, however everything else about the experience is pretty clear. I feel like I can really appreciate easier to handle/control psychedelics now after going through this experience.

any opinions? super curious of others thoughts. don't have many people in real life to discuss this with.

It would be easier for others to give their opinions/share meaningful insights if you were to break up your mammoth wall of text into readable paragraphs (but please don't be tempted to use a rainbow of colours to 'highlight' stuff. That just wrecks people's retinas and exacerbates the HPPD!)
[Edit: Thanks for sorting it out!]

As you've discovered, snorting DMT hurts. It works, but it hurts. It's also a bit wasteful as the required dosage is rather higher than for several other ROA's.

The wall of text could certainly be broken up, but thank you anyhow for the report.

I may have to try that method sometime if for no other reason than to prove to myself what it's like. I'm not as into vaping as oral administration but I feel that's partially an equipment/technique issue. Even if it is a waste of some mg's I think I'll have to give it a go. Maybe smoke some caapi harmala infused leaf or drink some caapi tea beforehand

I thought it was a really good read! When I read the part about the pain settling in, I could vividly imagine one of my uncomfortable trips being even worse than it was. Occasionally I had put some residue from my finger into my nose to see if I would get any mild effects, but I only received a burning sensation.

I'm curious if the coconut oil, water nasal mix method is effective at reducing the pain.

Yea from what I gather, you didn't break through. At least by the terminology I adhere to. The term breakthrough is used rather liberally, and personal experiences do vary a great deal.


Yea the aliens don't give a damn about you. And having expectations about the breakthrough is a bad idea in general.


It doesn't take many times, it takes courage, a high dose, and a sound delivery method. Apparently snorting didn't result in a fast enough absorption.


Okay look, being in severe pain while on psychedelics is going to leave its mark on the experience. That's just common sense. It's like you'd say you jumped from a tall cliff into the ocean, broke your arm, consequently had a horrible time, so you wonder if swimming in the ocean is somehow incompatible with your mindset. It's probably not, just don't break your arm while getting there. Doing that will surely ruin your day.
