Freebase is relatively unstable and and will oxidize and lose potency. Also, freebase will react with many kinds of plastics causing degradation and contamination.

4-AcO-DMT is often marketed as synthetic mushrooms because it is suspected to be a psilocin prodrug. The effects are similar to mushrooms, certainly more so than 5-MeO-MALT or 5-MeO-DMT.

@mpechura converting to freebase will not create more of the active compound, but because freebase is the "pure" compound not bound in a salt form, it is more potent by weight. Like when you step on a scale fully clothed, you'll weigh more because there is a bunch of stuff there that isn't you. The clothes are like the salt bond. Without clothes you're just you.

@manuel bon 5-MeO-DMT is generally considered not orally active in either the salt or freebase form. I've heard some people claim that it is, but without direct experience I can't say one way or the other. 5-MeO-DMT salts can be taken sublingually if you don't want to use the intranasal or rectal route. Orally active options include 4-HO-MET and 4-ACO-DMT, among other 4 and 5 subbed tryptamines. Consult psychonautwiki.

Start with 2-3 grams and work your way up.

Fumarate and hydrochloride are salt forms whereas freebase is the pure, basic form of a compound Salts are water soluble which means they are well suited to intranasal, rectal, and intramuscular routes of administration. Salts By their nature contain less of the active component by weight. Hydrochloride is approximately 98% 5-MeO-DMT whereas fumarate is less, maybe 66-75% by weight. Salts are valuable for a number of reasons, one being that they are more stable and another that the routes of administration come on slower and last longer. Freebase refers to the pure compound without any ionic bonds. Freebase is best suited to vaping but can easily be converted to a salt form on the fly by the addition of acid such as vinegar or a citric acid solution. Freebase is by weight he most potent form of a compound but also the most prone to degradation by heat, oxygen, and light. The reason freebase hurts if you get it in a mucus membrane like your nose is because it is extremely basic. Salt forms are acidic, but the pH can be buffered in solution to something closer to neutral to reduce the sting.

Eventually I broke through into total forgiveness and resolution, recognition that pain is for learning, breaking free from self judgement that I am not perfect on the relative level, but complete and perfect on the absolute level. Empathy for others has always been easy for me. It's is empathy toward myself that is a recurring theme for exploration and mastery.

For me ayahuasca is deeply introspective. Among other things it led me to meet directly with every way I've ever caused harm, through action or negligence, and I had to reconcile with and accept that as part of the totality of my being and of existence. It is also not highly visionary for me, and neither are mushrooms for that matter. It is dose dependent of course but there does appear to be variation from one person to in whether the nature of the experience is primarily visual. I find 5-MeO-DMT to feel fundamentally different from other forms of DMT including mushrooms, aya, or pure freebase

@integral Tryptamines such as 5-MeO-MALT work on serotonin receptors, which are found all over the body and with large concentration in the brain and gut.

Did you crush it into a powder before mixing?

There are many reports of peoples life and outlook being completely and permanently changed for the better after a single positive MDMA experience. That being said, expecting this to happen would be a mistake, and repeatedly using MDMA to lift ones mood may can seriously fuck up one's life. Approach the experience with an open heart and an open mind. Do plenty of research, test your chems, dose responsibly, and let the feelings come ❤️‍????

DMT can be more challenging than 5-MeO because of the utterly absurd levels of novelty and information density. It is the weirdest thing that will ever happen to you. 5-MeO is relatively simple in it's presentation in that distinctions fall away, revealing the singular nature of reality.

My first and lowest dose was 75mg, and that was a full breakthrough. I've done up to 111mg and don't know that it's necessary to go that high. Make sure you have a sitter, and they can help you vaporize the full dose.

My understanding is that 5-MeO is more lipophilic which means it can stick around longer in the fat and organs before eventually being fully metabolized.

Surely you mean 230mcg. That's not a large dose though it's enough to go sideways if someone isn't prepared.

That's not my experience, though there's nothing wrong with crying or feeling sad or depressed. For me the challenging aspects of a trip usually come in the form of being made aware of ways in which I am behaving out of integrity or have done so in the past. Again there's nothing wrong with this and I'm grateful for it. It's simply illumination and invitation as to how I can better conduct myself in this lifetime.

I've never had what I consider a bad trip after using psychedelics for 17 years. Some serious emotional/psychological work sure, but nothing bad. Respect the power of psychedelics, work with the appropriate dose, set, and setting, and be open to whatever happens. In this way you can greatly mitigate the risk of a trainwreck experience.

Probably about a hundred

@RamPhoenix Because the space is beautiful and I'm using very high doses which are not safe without a facilitator. These are not "psyche" challenging doses" I'm referring to but total death experiences in which I temporarily lose all touch with the material world. In states this deep one has ZERO control or even awareness of the concept of control. It's possible to move around, make noise etc and a facilitator makes sure that no harm is done. I use synthetic on my own and at lower doses.

Friday January 20, 2023 Yesterday I sat with bufo for the third time. I know, there's hardly any bufotenine in it and the toad has been renamed, but the label stuck. It was an overcast day in Malibu and a light rain fell as I drove up the coast listening to Zen koans. While driving I imagined inhaling the vapor with such clarity that it had a physical effect on me. This impromptu rehearsal expended any nervous energy I had surrounding the experience. I arrived at my destination at 3:00 pm totally at peace. I was greeted by the assistant Cam who welcomed me into the space. Despite my familiarity the interior is no less spectacular, and the view of the ocean is awesome in the literal sense of the word. Downstairs, I smiled to see Luna and we welcomed each other in a warm embrace. It's been almost exactly a year since my last bufo ceremony and a lot has changed. Focused medicine work with ayahuasca, kambo, and hapé has shifted my life in profound ways, for which I am deeply grateful. After catching up for maybe 15 minutes we found a dose, 80-85mg, and the space was prepared in the usual fashion. Once again I was given the offer to receive the medicine while standing, which I was happy to do "Inhale, good, nice and slow. Keep going, keep going..." I draw the unctuous vapor deep into my lungs, raising my arms to the sky. My vision is wavering, electric thick and fluid "A little bit more. Good, now some fresh air." With that I close my eyes and fall back. I feel Dan catch me. No one is laid down lovingly on the floor. No one has a silk scarf draped over their eyes. No one hears the sound of a hand drum or smells the burning incense. . . . . . . . No one. Nothing. . Everything. All one. . . . . . . . As soon as one Planck of awareness asserts itself, it is fucking ON. The entire play of creation revealed itself. It is perfect, complete, and whole. Between absolute negative infinite and absolute positive infinite is This. An unbridled orchestral storm explodes in the field of infinite awareness as every piece of information ever to exist or not exist, real or unreal, imagined or unimagined dances the impossible dance. Everything, and nothing, one and not one, beyond description and ever present. This is total enlightenment. Simple as that. Done. "What the fuck!" I open my eyes and sit bolt upright, shouting at the top of my lungs. "WHAT THE FUCK!!! THIS IS IT!!! ENLIGHTENMENT NOW! FOR EVERYONE!" I scream, I howl, I sing, the full range of my voice swinging and ringing out in the cathedral-like space. " @Leo Gura!!!" I call out and laugh. "Jeremy!" I call out my fathers name. The name of my father feels like the sonic blueprint for creation in a very curious way. It is the pattern of creation, and my mother is the matrix of creation. At this point I'm back in my body, writhing in ecstatic liberation and naming all that I love about life. It is color and sound, music, movement and beauty. It is cozy, having a body, stretching, fruit, beach, play, sex, family, community, caring, sharing, loving, freedom. I felt very strongly, and still do feel, that this is the shared experience around which a new community is being born. This experience with it's unfathomable depth and profundity serves to dramatically recontextualize all of what is happening here, beckoning us to redirect our energy toward our own vision for what it means to live in harmony, both inner and outer. It presents an alternative investment opportunity so that we can withdraw our energy, physically and metaphysically, to whatever degree practicable, from those ways of being which do not interest us and do not serve our vision of the highest good. I continued to roll around, whistle, stretch the body and feel the deliciousness of life. I snacked on some tangerines and chatted with Luna and Cam, where they helped fill in some blanks. I was fully in the medicine for 15 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes having passed since I regained body awareness. I felt exceptionally clear minded and open, inspired, grateful, and on purpose. We continued in this way for about 20 more minutes, at which time I packed up my things and drove home. I arrived home around 6:30 pm, and was joined shortly after by my lover Michelle. We met years ago on a hike she arranged for everyone that's part of this bufo community. After reconnecting at the end of last year we fell deeply in love. We're still falling, and continue to do conscious medicine work together. She was eager to hear about my journey, and we agreed beforehand that she would take a small sip of vaporized synthetic 5-MeO-DMT as we lay in bed together. We did just that, and rejoiced in each other's company for some time. The night went on, the two of us hung out with my sister and eventually ordered takeout from a local Peruvian restaurant. We ate, Michelle drove home, and I was happy to crawl in bed early. Luna mentioned that the third session is special. The first time, no one knows what to expect. The second time there may be significant hesitation at meeting the Absolute once again. The third time, there's some degree of familiarity, with a different level of clarity and embodiment. I'm inclined to agree. Though my written description may give the impression this ceremony was identical to my last two, the felt experience was different. There was a more pronounced sense of importance, hope, purpose, and joy. It feels like my life purpose is to work with this medicine, embody the wisdom imparted by it, and perhaps one day to share this medicine with others. I am deeply grateful and humbled by this experience. As always I'm open to questions, comments, anything. Thanks for reading. Blessings and gratitude to you ???❤️‍???‍♂️

You can use many concentrate and dry herb vapes such as the XMAX Starry, PAX, or APX Volt

This is a correction to your original post?

Conversion is a relatively simple process. You can also purchase freebase 5-MeO-DMT instead. Both have their place, HCl is useful for nasal, intramuscular, and rectal administration.

One suggestion is to convert HCl to freebase, which is much easier to vaporize. Either that or choose a different ROA. However if everything is working more power to you.

I like to make a nasal spray which delivers 5mg per pump. This makes accurate dosing and redosing simple.
