Those are all the effects from all my attempts:
- patterns on objects (tiles/walls)
- patterns on 'uncertain' objects (ex. tree branches/leaves seen in the dark from 5-10 meters)
- face feels alien (especially my cheeks while trying to hold the smoke in)
- very uncomfortable body load
All on track, normal things there for the onset, lower level effects typically.
The body load is more or less a part of it, sometimes very unnerving, sometimes next to nothing in terms of sensation, though at any rate it's typically part of the experience, woven into what the experience is and does.
The 'feeling something is wrong' - very common too , especially when you step up the dosage. It's a powerful experience when done right, and the suddenness of the experience on top of that bodyload ..yeah it can be frightening for sure. Learn techniques for deep breathing, maybe even some sort of simple breathing meditation. Learning anything to do with your breath can eventually go a long way to help ime. Some low volume melodic style music can be a great adjunct to propelling you into a good space.
Senses becoming overwhelmed is normal.
Honestly the onset of the experience can sometimes be very off putting. It's powerful stuff when done sufficiently, it's no toy ime.
Though ime there's soon enough a hump you get over, following the steep incline of the experience at the rate that it increases moment to moment - that sharp rise in effects/experience is the toughest part for me, but once you're over that ..most of that will go out've the window [i.e: breakthrough, release, you're THERE, w/e you want to call it]. You'll know when you're over that hump..
Burned dmt can cause a pretty rough taste and feeling in the throat, and i'm sure that could throw someone into a bit of a panic as the experience begins. If dmt is vaped properly you won't have that roughness whatsoever, it shouldn't be harsh if it's done correctly.
If the experience is unnerving to you just work your way up the ladder slowly. No rush.
Also, for many here, teetering on the edge of that realm with one foot in and one foot out - that can be pretty rough and cause panic. Learning to go all-in and not backpedal has served me the least hassle and has given me the best experiences.
**And with above I'm not condoning blasting yourself with a huge dose willy-nilly, definitely work up to it I'd say, get accustomed to how it comes on.
And remember that it's only a few minutes [prior to taking that first toke] and it'll be over shortly after.
And always always smile right after you take it in, no matter what..
