You could use a nectar collector

Yes you're right about that.

@SASAM titrated dosing is where it's at for me. This involves working your way up, for example 1:16, to 1:4, and then 1:2 if you want to go deep. By starting low you give your system time to familiarize yourself with the gradual expansion and release with significantly less risk of energetic overload.

Controlling how much you smoke is a non issue with practically every method if you know your dose. Smoking off of foil has a high learning curve, meaning high risk of wasting material due to either burning or not being able to manipulate the lighter, straw, and foil. Zero benefit over any other method.

@Javfly33 I first smoked n,n-DMT this way. It works of course but there's no reason to do it this way if practically any other method is available.

Sounds like you need a new nutritionist.

Sublingual MAOI salts plus low-medium strength homemade cart. Much slower, more time to explore, incredible afterglow. When people claim nn-DMT is of lower value, I assume they haven't explored it's full potential.

Freshly made pure DMT can range from crystal clear through white and yellow to practically red.

Kratom interesting in that it's effects are dose dependent. At lower doses it is stimulating and at higher doses it is analgesic and sedating. It's been in use for centuries in Southeast Asia and other areas where kratom grows natively. There's almost certainly been people habitually using it all this time, but in the west as always the potential for addiction and abuse is plain to see. What else is there to say?

@Manusia it is well known that it can cause digestive discomfort and constipation. In addition I started having terrible "allergic reaction" type issues due to liver overload. Occasional bad swelling in my face and outbreaks of hives on my neck, back, arms, and chest.

I used it on and off for a year. It was very taxing on my liver and on my digestive organs. This was no more than one dose in the evening, about a tablespoon I think.

Store freebase in glass only. It is highly basic and highly reactive, and will react with plastic.

Exerting any part of the body past it's comfort zone will lead to inflammation, one symptom of which can be pain.

Not dead, never born.

Welcome back from Shoorum

Even a cursory search regarding best practices with LSD would reveal this was a bad idea. Consider l-theanine, magnesium, and 5-htp. You'll be fine. EDIT: This can be a lesson in attempting to escape discomfort "And all this stress made me drink alcohol, smoke few cigarettes & take 1mg of xanax to calm down"

If we're talking about 5-MeO-DMT hydrochloride, fumarate, or other salt, it is extremely shelf stable. Freebase on the other hand will degrade when exposed to light, heat, moisture, and air.

While I appreciate your curiosity this won't work the way you intend. Reagent test kits won't test for degradation which seems to be the whole point of this experiment. For that you would need high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography mass spectrometry etc. Reagent kits are for the identification of substances and possible adulterants/contaminants.

I have a batch like this all good.

Yes what you described is a perfectly natural part of the exploration of consciousness. The nature of enlightenment is the subject of debate and is a matter of semantics and what we choose to believe. Some would say you had a realization, insight or an awakening, with the distinction being that enlightenment is a permanent shift or expansion in consciousness. What we call your experience matters less than how you integrate it. The primacy of love is a valuable and transformational realization.

@Fluran In my experience we can and do create powerful sensory associations, especially when working with altered states of consciousness, such that something like a sound or song can cause a reactivation of that altered state. This is a well known phenomenon with 5-MeO-DMT in particular. https://youtu.be/K0rU_g7q1lc

@Fluran what exactly are you skeptical of? Based on your post it's the relationship between brainwave states and the tones which claim to create those states such as seen all across YouTube. Have you heard of Hemi Sync or the Gateway Process?

Ultimately yes if we go deep into this work we are required to surrender completely. That being said having precision tools and a protocol for approaching more gently is of profound importance. A full release dose for anyone, especially those without any context or experience with altered states of consciousness, can just be too much. A group I've sat with several times serves a lot of 5-MeO-DMT in a "traditional" manner (high dose single hit toad venom) and it can overwhelm people energetically leaving them ungrounded, sleepless, destabilized, confused frightened, and possibly traumatized. It is less about "control" and more about developing and implementing a protocol for maximum safety, beauty, healing, and awakening. More and more facilitators worldwide are moving to a titrated protocol using synthetic 5-MeO-DMT vape pens of varying strength. Risk mitigation and harm reduction are crucial when it comes to seriously exploring these substances, same preparation and integration. These topics just don't get as much attention because they aren't flashy.

Plug and play. No choosing your atomizer or box mod, no messing with settings, no accidentally having your settings wrong and burning/massively overdosing as can happen when you have a full tank and too much power behind it. Especially with draw activated pen vapes, there's nothing to focus on other than the unfolding experience.

"Also, no reason to use cartridges, they are inferior in every aspect to normal vape tanks. Their only advantage is they are cheap and as a drug dealer you can fill them and sell directly to noobs." "Take shorter tokes, spread them over longer time, or grow bigger balls. 1:12 is already a baby concentration, so you can't make it weaker on that front." @Girzo Cartridges are convenient and user friendly, people just overthink/overcomplicate things. Also one can easily make a lower concentration. Myself and many others in my circle use a 1:16, and for those that are extremely sensitive or want to wade in as slowly as possible even a 1:32 is used.
