First 5-MeO-DMT trip

[RightHand]

Psychedelic Background:

I’ve had approximately 20 LSD trips, ranging from 100 to 350µg.

I recently acquired 100mg of 5-MeO-DMT freebase with the goal of experimenting using the plugging method. Here’s a summary of my attempts (it all happened the same day):

First Attempt: Plugging (15mg + Vinegar)

• Dose: 15mg, following Leo's guide.
• Result: A very mild experience—just a light buzzing sensation in my head, but nothing substantial.

Second Attempt: Plugging (22mg + Vinegar)

• Dose: 22mg, same method as before.
• Result: Absolutely no effect. I suspect this was due to inserting the syringe too deeply + the dose being too low.

Switching to Snorting

After two underwhelming results with plugging, I decided to try snorting and save further experimentation with plugging for when I have more 5-MeO.

First Snorting Attempt (15mg Freebase + Vinegar):

• Preparation: Dissolved 15mg of freebase in 3ml of vinegar to convert it into a salt.
• Method: Snorted the solution directly from a scoop.
• Result: No effects. Likely due to snorting too hard, causing most of the liquid to drip behind my nose.

Second Snorting Attempt (18mg Freebase + Vinegar):

• Preparation: Dissolved 18mg of freebase in 3ml of vinegar.
• Method: Used a syringe to snort the solution very slowly.
• Result:

           Light visuals (blurring and whitening of surroundings).
           A melting sensation in my body and ecstatic sensations, especially around my heart.
           My mind stopped thinking, and I felt a profound sense of lightness and bliss.
           Absolutely no fear or terror, maybe due to prior experience with surrendering on LSD.
           Enhanced perception of details, e.g., looking at my hand and noticing its scale was distorted and hyper-detailed.
           No God realization or profound insights, "just" a state of no-mind, lightness and bliss.

Reflection:

It was very tilting having no trips for 3 consecutive attempts, but I’m thrilled to confirm the molecule works for me. The last attempt was especially promising.

Next Steps:

Continue experimenting with snorting next week when I have more substance.
Adjust the vinegar ratio (less vinegar to reduce the burn, the last attempt burned LIKE HELL).
Snort even more slowly to minimize loss of liquid into the throat.
Aim for a solid 25mg trip.

I'll probably try again plugging in the upcoming months and start experimenting with vaping. 

Thanks for reading, I’d be glad to hear your questions, advice, or any tips you might have for improving my technique or deepening the experience.

Have you done any other psychedelics beyond LSD?

I tried weed once and experienced time dilation and time loops. 

But nothing other than that.

Hi guys, quick update:

I persevered with plugging. Turns out I just needed to up the dose—25mg wasn’t nearly enough for my body.

Thank you, Leo, and everyone else—I’m still at the very first words of the introduction.

Cheers,
Youcef

Nice!

Yeah, plenty of people need more than 25mg for a full trip.
