Questions for experienced 5-MeO users

[emil1234]

I recently had my first 5meo trip, and I'm planning on starting using 5meo regularly as a self development / realization tool. I do have a couple of questions tho.

1. How often do you guys trip? i know that with traditional psychedelics like LSD and mushrooms, its advicable to wait 1-2months in between trips. However DMT and 5meo dmt seem way more innocent to me, i might very well be deluding myself here, which is why i ask; but the short acting trips, seem way more harmless than a 12 hour LSD trip. whats ur guys say here, how often is it advicable to trip on 5meo, while still keeping it responsible and safe? Like what if i wanted to push it to maybe once a week, but on a lower threshold dosis? im asking because in my experience, 1 hour after ingesting both NN dmt and 5meo dmt, i feel like im completely back to normal. 

whats ur guys say here, how often is it advicable to trip, while still keeping it responsible and safe? Like what if i wanted to push it to maybe once a week, but on a lower threshold dosis?

2. Is it managable to solo trip, if you're vaporizing through a pibe? I know from personal experience, that when smoking NN-DMT, managing to get the third hit of the pibe is near impossible solo, cus ur tripping so hard at that point. However with 5meo, my facilitator told me that a single big hit will do the job. Hence, is it doable to solo vaporize from a pibe, even on large doses?

3. Whats your dose scalings? (speaking synthetic vaporized 5-meo here), im seeing a bit varying information on google. Some say anything above 15mg is an extremely high dose, others say you need to go above 30 mg

4. how many times in a row is it actually safe to smoke 5meo? When i did it, i did 2 trips in a row, but how far can this actually be pushed? and does the dosing have anything to say in this matter?

I currently use 5-Meo-DMT or DMT around 3 times a week, but I only use small doses and I’m not going to be doing this long term. I’m only doing this right now for emotional healing purposes.

I can imagine that if my doses were higher and my trips were deeper, I would get pretty ungrounded tripping multiple times per week. I think tripping once a week is fine, but as the guy above said, listen to your body and do what feels right for you

1. For serious excursions of 5-MeO (medium-high dose, expectations of lasting change), once a week is the maximum responsible frequency IMO. Any more than that and you will hurt yourself. Once every other week is more ideal.

2. Always do psychedelics solo. Learn to plug.

3. I only plug. <10mg = low, ~15mg = medium, 25+mg = high

4. IDK. This shouldn't even be a question, because if you're doing this right, 1 dose will blow you away and it won't occur to you to go back. You know you're doing it right when a week or two goes by, and you think to yourself "Damn, I should do more 5-MeO according to my plan, but I don't wanna..."

ty for the response. the thing is, i wanna play around with low doses at first to kinda get a feeling of my own sensitivity. so going with very low doses, say 3-5mg, im kinda uncertain how frequent my trips should be, since low doses FEEL quite innocent

No. The one week guideline is active past a mediumish dose.

A medium dose is already enough for a "breakthrough"

You will know you hit a "breakthrough" when you come down with a feeling of "life will never be the same"

[emil1234]

@RendHeaven all right man, thanks a lot! nice clarification 

[OBEler]

@emil1234 I can trip multiple days in a row on lower doses without any problems. Just do like you feel there is no rule there.

Medium to high dose is another thing. You want to do it less often. Nevertheless I also would say no rules. Go with the flow.

@OBEler okay nice, thats my initial intuition as well. do you vaporize?

i'm curois if it isnt difficult to vaporize small doses, such as 2-3mg. like do u even get any smoke from that

Edited January 5 by emil1234

@emil1234 I use a vape pen with e liquid. You just grap it and vape. 1:4 is good. Look for thread here there it's explained how to build this 

[Breakingthewall]

My conclusion after many trips is that the utility of 5meo is the energetic liberation, the breaking of the energetic barriers that form what they call the karmic structure. With 5meo you can do decades of spiritual work in months, but you have to be skeptical (in my opinion totally skeptical) about "realizations". There is only one real and absolute realization, the infinite being, the absence of limits. This is not a realization because it lacks content, it is the total liberation of conscious substance, total expansion.

Everything that is below this, whether it is you creating reality, seeing that everything is "good", that the universe is cyclical, whatever, is a mental creation of the ego in a "5meo drugged" state. If in your normal state things do not seem that way, believing that reality is like when you are drugged with 5meo and not like now sober is a mistake and the path to entering a messianic mental loop. The only perception is what happens now, the only use of 5meo is the breaking of the "karmic" barriers so that perception can now be open, unlimited. Anything remembered is false, since reality is not conceptual, concepts occur in reality. So be careful not to enter this mental mode.

[RendHeaven]

@Breakingthewall @RightHand Wow. Excellent inquiry from both of you.

I don't find these perspectives to be mutually exclusive. I think you both have a strong point.

If you were an ant and got transferred into a human body for 20 minutes before returning to your ant form, would you dismiss everything you experienced in the "human state" as false simply because it doesn't align with the reality of an ant?

The ant structure is different from the human structure, but both are structures. Total reality is structureless, so structuring it is just an idea within the structure of reality that you are taking now. Any structure is relative, so human and ant are in the same category: relative. The other category is absolute, and can't be remembered or thought because any remember is relative

I wish I knew this information before sending messages to everyone in my phone contact list in a messianic mental loop 🤣

@RightHand So basically 5meo is another experience, not enlightment, but it has lots of fireworks and explosions and that can break some things for some time which can be useful to clear the road ahead.

@emil1234 Vape pens are very safe and convenient.

Be careful with tripping to regularly especially in the beginning as it can lead to user error, and even instability that can negatively effect other areas of your life.  

It's important to do a holistic approach to this work with the frame work of Integral Meta Theory imo for mature integration of the higher state.

It is an enlightenment experience and a highly consistent tool for the experience.

Guys, do be careful with this substance! Especially if you are a newbie. It can lead to a lot of weirdness.

I took me awhile to integrate the experience maturely. Since then, and I know what it is I can do it more often (which is still rare).

Anyway, when you break through to a full realization remember I said hello and thank you.

That's just nuking yourself and being left with nothing. Don't do that.

Can you tell a bit here what happened and what was weird and how the integration worked?

(I don't had a breakthrough yet so I am curious)

@OBEler I have talked about these things in the past and don't want to talk to much about it. The risk for me was my body moving around, looking around the room and being confused in the higher state. It ruined an important relationship with my old best friend and roommate. I hugged and touched him not knowing what he was and it scared him. @OctagonOctopus and I could have hurt myself on other occasions by moving around, knocking over the pipe and cutting my foot on the glass, running down the side walk when I had one of my deepest and scariest breakthroughs.  I honestly had a lot of fantasies as well that had to be ironed out about liberation and God.

Unforunately my early explorations, though mostly safe and successful had some sloppy falures. Years ago.

I share these failures from a place of vulnerability and trying to promote that being careful, mature, no moving around, not taking super high doses, not taking it every day, etc.... 

I am pretty mature and safe now days. I understand the experience and relax through it. Follow protocols.
