5-MeO First Trip?

[kieranperez]

I feel as though this is a question with an obvious answer but realizing that only has me deem this question even more important because I don’t want to overlook the obvious...

Is cutting straight to 5-MeO for a first psychedelic trip just asking for trouble? I see a lot of fear on here from people about “am I ready to take it?” And all this stuff and from my own limited POV seems like ‘why not just cut to the chase and taking all these detours?’ Cause I see a lot of people anxiously ask things like ‘should I take Ayahuasca first? DMT first? How should I build up?’ And from my POV I see a valid reason from both ends of the coin on why one should take their time building up to something like 5-MeO but also I see the case for people who would benefit for just going straight for the Truth and surrender. 

Thoughts?

I don't see a problem with starting with 5-MeO-DMT per se, but you should start at a low dose and work your way up slowly over a few sessions if you do, because it will be very new terrain if you've never taken a psychedelic at all.

I think if you're feeling good about it, no problem. Just get your feet wet lightly at first with it. In my opinion 5-MeO-DMT just cuts to the chase, so if you're down with that, go for it. 

OTOH it wouldn't hurt to try some mushrooms or acid first either. But not necessary at all. I'd actually say meditation experience is more important as a prerequisite than other psychedelics.

I think it depends on the person. I'd say some preparation is responsible. Perhaps do some research and practice meditation for a bit. Then, start with a low dose and work your way up.

And IME, 5-meo is much more gentle than Aya.

 You will have to do the jump yourself,  5-meo is just that friend who will push you really, really hard.
