Hello, I’m 21 years old and have been eager to try DMT for the past couple months. My first trip is in two weeks. Although, I’ve mainly just watched podcasts and YouTube videos about it, I feel like I should learn more before I take off.

Any recommendations?

    At 48 it’s funny how the comfort of normality has become a thing.

    However, as someone who tried and enjoyed Acid, E, cocaine, speed, weed, valium, mushrooms, ketomine and alcohol in his 20s I admit I’m pretty curious about DMT.

    I’ve just read the Irvine Welsh book Dead Man’s Trousers and it’s definitely piqued my interest in psychodelics, but I just don’t feel there’s room for that in my life at the moment.

    Keen to hear how it goes. When I took Acid I had the best time, but I always knew that I was on it and could therefore explain to my consciousness that it was a trip.

    I understand the DMT experience is more profound and can genuinely reveal things to people about themselves, which lasts post-trip as people process the insights it reveals.

      Done all that but K, not much older than you. Love to experience DMT! Sounds like a short acid trip? 🤷🏻 And yes, “I always knew that I was on it…”. Some people go off the deep end, but I always knew I was simply experiencing a drug.

      I desperately need an acid trip to reset my head. It’s been 20+ years and I’m a fucking mess. Need to at least get back on medical weed.

        DMT is not acid and the experience is vastly different. On acid it’s still mostly you in a modified environment but you’re still mostly in control if you frame correctly while DMT is basically a dream rollercoaster that you just need to sit through. Both are powerful experiences and should be approached differently.

        I’d say do acid instead of you want a gentle reset just make sure you set your environment. Get a sitter and just enjoy nature or the safety of your own home. I wouldn’t just drop into DMT for a reset for a messy headstate. Best of luck!
