A 5-meo-dmt Account

[outlandish]

I've found 5-MeO-DMT to work just like it is purported to, and wanted to share a bit of my experience in case it's helpful to others. It's still fairly new to me, and I plan on continuing to work with it in the future. I have a fair amount of experience with all kinds of psychedelics, and in my opinion 5-MeO-DMT is a holy grail for it's ability to deliver the experience of kensho/god/monad/void/whateverthefuckyoucallit. 

I'm not a very dedicated meditator, but I've been doing it for a long time, off and on. My recent experiences with 5-MeO-DMT have definitely motivated me to get back in the saddle (or on the zafu as it were).

I've been working with the HCL, which is best for insufflation rather than vaporizing. I've tried vaporizing the freebase, but that rubbed me the wrong way, so I abandoned that route of administration for myself, and now am sticking to snorting it.

My own dosing regime went: 1mg, 8mg, 12mg, 20mg. I'll probably push the dose a bit higher yet, but I'm not in any rush. For now, I'm content to let the last experience sink in, or permeate my life a bit more.

Smoking it just didn't feel right, my body didn't trust it. I found it hard to accept it into me when I don't trust that the vapour isn't harming my lungs etc. Might be irrational, but I decided to not bother with that ROA. I've found snorting works fine for me.

I think it's fine that you didn't get a specific meaning from your 5-MeO-DMT experience. Everyone experiences these things in a different way, and a specific meaning kind of misses the point anyways. But if you are seeking a spiritual experience from it, maybe you should try insufflation, it does give more time to adjust to the altitude and take it in. I also think that this substance would complement a spiritual/meditation practice very well and give you the tools/skills to be able to get more out of it or navigate the space well. 

I don't mean to be speaking like an authority on this because I'm really new to it, just some ideas.

What was the difference between your 1mg and 20mg doses (was it just a matter of intensity and duration or did the 20mg dose feel clearly different, was 1mg enough to go cause ego death?)

Yes 1mg was wildly different from 20mg!

1mg insulf. gave just a tiny shift in perception. Almost placebo.

20mg was a deep, transcendental experience. 

Size of dose doesn't really affect duration so much, it mostly affects the magnitude of the effects.
