Introduction
In this article, I will share my personal experiences with DMT and mushrooms, detailing the sensations, visual effects, and emotional responses I encountered during my journey. This account aims to provide an honest reflection of my experience, including the preparation and the moments of introspection that followed.
First DMT Dose
Preparation for DMT
Before I began my journey with mushrooms, I had made the decision to try DMT. To set the mood, I sat down at my computer, put on my headphones, and selected some music to accompany me. I adjusted my vape mod to 30 watts in anticipation. With a mix of excitement and anxiety, I took a deep breath, held the fire button, and began my first attempt to vape the DMT. I held the vapor in for about 5 to 6 seconds, almost trembling with nerves.
DMT Experience
As soon as I released the vapor, a harsh coughing fit overtook me. The vapor was intensely harsh, and despite the discomfort, I took a few more hits, totaling about 3 or 4 attempts. After these attempts, I decided to set the vape aside and closed my eyes. Almost immediately, I felt a wave of relaxation wash over my body. As my eyelids closed, I entered a space of complete darkness, where I began to perceive white dots zipping past me.
This visual experience lasted for roughly 2 minutes. When I opened my eyes, I felt relatively sober, though there was a distinct body high that lingered. Initially, I felt disappointed with the outcome, attributing it to my hesitation in holding the vapor in long enough and not taking sufficient hits. Nevertheless, I resolved to continue with my planned dose of mushrooms and consider another attempt with the DMT after adjusting to the shrooms.
Shroom Dose
Preparing the Shrooms
I had prepared a bowl containing approximately 2.5 grams of mushrooms, breaking them into swallowable pieces. I started consuming the mushrooms piece by piece, which took about 10 minutes. The taste was quite potent, causing me to gag and almost vomit a few times during the process.
Onset of Effects
Once I had ingested all 2.5 grams, I returned to my computer and began browsing subreddits like /r/shrooms and playing trippy music. About 50 to 60 minutes after ingestion, I began to feel the effects of the shrooms. The body high was unlike anything I had ever experienced before, reminiscent of the body load I felt with 25i, but it felt heavier and more encompassing. Although it was slightly uncomfortable, I managed to adjust to the sensation.
As I continued browsing, I found myself laughing at nearly every post I encountered. I had to stifle my laughter, mindful that my parents were asleep nearby. The visual experience intensified; I noticed waves moving across my computer monitors, and the images on the screen appeared more vibrant and psychedelic. Words seemed to breathe, changing in size as I read.
Visual and Sensory Experiences
When I eventually looked away from my computer, I took in the walls surrounding the heater room in my house. To my astonishment, they appeared to breathe in rhythm with my own breaths—bulging outward as I inhaled and contracting as I exhaled. This sensation filled me with euphoria.
I also became aware of the light from my monitors, which appeared to morph slightly, adding to the overall surreal experience. My three-monitor setup created an immersive environment, enveloping me in visuals that felt almost three-dimensional. I could sense that I was going cross-eyed, but I couldn’t help but smile at the captivating experience. While I stopped laughing audibly, I maintained a smirk throughout the remainder of the experience.
Conclusion
This detailed account of my experiences with DMT and mushrooms captures the essence of my journey, highlighting the complexities and nuances of both substances. From the initial nervousness of my first DMT dose to the overwhelming sensations and visuals of the mushrooms, each moment contributed to a profound experience of exploration and self-discovery.
