So to start from the beginning, I fell in love with dmt from my research but i never tried it. I didn't know it was so easy to make so i would look for dealers. Never found one, instead I found a video a year later on how to make dmt. It's the most popular youtube video on extracting DMT (Guy has a boston accent and says he's from peru).... I made the dmt, and did the "meth pipe method" and burned the dmt and got REALLY light headed and sick for like 10-15 min, I have a Arizer Solo 2 and seen methods to smoke dmt in it, i tried the tinfoil method and got really light headed and sick again, and then I tried the sandwhich method in the arizer and got the same result. I got my friend to try it too, he also got the same bad result, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?

Trevor wonders did you make sure your solvent evaporated clean and your DMT was fully dry?

Trevor has felt this sick lightheaded feeling before early in his explorations but never figured it out.

Trevor does get sick in his belly from smoking DMT sometimes. He has concluded DMT in any form makes his feel sick.
He notices that psilocybin and DMT mess with his equilibrium and perception of space. Makes him feel like he is on a boat sometimes.

One wrong thing is to not spend time to search and read in the multitude of thread in this place.

i let my naptha completely evaporate, i'm not sure what the problem is. maybe my smoking method? my dmt looks good, so i dont think its the dmt. I could be wrong. havent got to enjoy the spice even once!!!

This, if it's happening to you, chances are someone else beat you to the punch and asked already, there's tons to search through.

But ime, sometimes I get dizzy, I've verged on purging just from freebase, sometimes I'm fine. Most of the time I chalk any dizziness/nausea to preflight anxiety, and lately it hasn't been a problem since I've developed a preflight routine to calm my nerves

Trevor is now my favorite poster!

Are you swallowing smoke? Whenever dmt gives me nausea I end up burping up smoke shortly after.

Whatever you do don't give up. Making dmt seems easy, But there's little parts you can miss that make a big difference in results.

It could be that the bark you have isn't very good, If it's just a smoking technique issue then you should solve this problem soon enough.

What i do is use a regular pipe, But some tea leaves as the base, Then put in the dmt, Then cover it with tea leaves leaving you with the sandwiched method.

Be careful not to accidentally burn the spice as you smoke it because that will kill it.

For me tea leaves technique - you get the top red and burning and then you remove the lighter flame and inhale.

Good luck

I get nervous preflight jitters too sometimes - what is the routine you've developed to overcome it ?

I sit quietly for 20-30 minute beforehand, at least attempting to clear my head.
I have an incense blend than I find particularly calming that I will light in my trip-space.
Making sure I'm properly hydrated before a trip seems to help too.
Also I've tended to ingest and then immediately find something to worry about, knowing this about myself and doing what I can to eliminate my worries beforehand. i.e. cleaning up the space, making sure my cats can't come into the room, making sure someone else (Mrs) knows what I'm up to.

It's really not as challenging as some make it out to be.
Out of the several methods I've tried, the recommended GVG is my least favorite...

I've had great successwith a sandwich method using mullein, or making enhanced leaf with the same, and using a regular old bong or weed pipe. But lately the "modified crack-pipe" method has been my go to. (That makes it sound like i smoke with regularity, i don't.) The only thing i wouldn't recommend is sandwiching with weed, the two just don't synergize with each other well.

Either using a cheap chillum-style pipe from a head shop (the kind they sell around here usually at the counter in a POP display) or the glass tube from an eye dropper (single-use,disposable- thin glass not suitable for multiple torchings) with spice sandwiched between two pellets of chore boy works a charm. Torch lighter if you have one, but bic styles work well especially with sandwiches.

You'll figure out temps and how not to burn it.

If any of those technical terms stump you, OP, check your googler by typing the term+DMT nexus, works better than the local search.


No matter how much i calm myself-which i do regardless- without fail there is always an "oh crap, i can't turn back" moment when the spice actually gets lit but usually I'm overwhelmed with comfort before panic sets in. My advice: just do it.
