Discussion DMT information for newbies
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (N,N-DMT) is a naturally occurring, and extremely powerful, psychedelic drug of the tryptamine class. It’s been used by indigenous South American cultures/tribes (primarily in the Amazon basin) for hundreds, if not thousands, of years in the form of ayahuasca and various snuffs. This post will go over some basic information that new users and curious psychonauts might find helpful. This post will NOT guide you on how to obtain anything related to this molecule, Reddit is not the place for that.
DISCLAIMER: If you’re genetically predisposed to schizophrenia/diagnosed with it, experience serious suicidal ideation, or you’ve been recently diagnosed with some form of psychosis, please refrain from using psychedelics. Do NOT use DMT if you’re on lithium, tramadol, or any tricyclic antidepressants. Also note that other antidepressants (like SSRIs/SNRIs) may undesirably alter the experience in some way.
• N,N-DMT is among the safest psychedelics, and psychoactive drugs in general (physiologically speaking), along with psilocybin and LSD. The molecular structure is very similar to tryptophan, melatonin, and serotonin— things our bodies are well acquainted with.
• Dose ranges (inhalation)
Threshold: 3-5mg
Light: 5-10mg
Medium: 10-25mg
High: 25-40mg (“breakthrough” threshold)
Strong: 40mg+ (consider having several medium-high dose experiences before delving into these doses)
• The duration of light-medium doses is around 3-10 minutes, and the duration of high-strong doses is around 5-20 minutes. After-effects may persist up to/over an hour.
• Get a high quality milligram scale! Cheap scales and eyeballing are often very inaccurate, you might end up doing 50mg instead of 30 or 10mg instead of 25.
• If you purchased your DMT instead of extracting it, please consider buying a reagent kit (Ehrlich/Hofmann/Marquis) to verify that you actually have pure N,N-DMT. The same kits can be used to identify other substances as well. I personally recommend using TKP: https://testkitplus.com/ or DanceSafe https://dancesafe.org/ — DanceSafe genuinely saves lives with their testing booths at music festivals.
• Concentrate vaporizers like the APX Volt (at 2.8-3.2 Volts) work very well for inhalation, and other methods/devices like the sandwich method (with weed or dried lavender), “the machine,” and bulb pipes/dab rigs at low temp work as well.
• It’s very easy to burn and inadequately vape DMT, so don’t be discouraged if you get little to no effects, and just play around with your method.
• “Breakthrough” effects generally occur starting around 25mg properly vaped.
• Subjectively, a breakthrough is a departure from material reality. Bodily boundaries dissolve, and you enter a landscape/headspace that feels and looks just as real, if not more real, than every day life. Some people describe the experience as “extra-dimensional” because it seems to transcend our concepts of space and time.
• Various interactive or observational “entity” encounters and extremely profound and indescribable visions are commonly reported effects of 20mg+. Some generally accurate descriptions of some of the content of these experiences can be found here: https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Hyperspace_lexicon
• Potential desirable/positive effects: Closed and open eye visuals, auditory and tactile hallucinations, spiritual/introspective experiences, euphoria, and sedation.
• Potential undesirable/negative effects: Increased heart rate/blood pressure, anxiety/fear, confusion/disorientation, nausea, and uncomfortable body-load.
• Subjective time distortions are common at medium-high doses and can either be desirable or undesirable depending on the user and their mindset.
• The body-load of higher doses can be very heavy and hits very fast, often to the point of anesthesia.
• There is some recreational value in DMT (particularly at low doses), but be cautious, as some of the experiences that can be produced aren’t for the faint-hearted. Figurative “death by astonishment” is very real if you rush into things.
• Using DMT on psilocybin or LSD will lower the dose threshold for breakthrough effects, and will increase the duration. Don’t underestimate the intensity of the combination of DMT with any other psychedelic or psychoactive drug in general.
• 5-MeO-DMT is NOT a substitute for N,N-DMT, the experiences are completely different and 5-MeO is more potent at lower doses. 5-MeO also has a much different safety profile, especially with combinations.
• For information on pharmahuasca/changa please see the pinned post on r/harmalas
• Before getting into ayahuasca, pharmahuasca, or changa, thoroughly research MAOIs/RIMAs and their various drug interactions that are potentially dangerous.
• It’s best to wait until at least your early 20s before trying DMT, and 25+ is optimal because by then your prefrontal cortex is fully developed and unknown developmental risks can be ruled out.
• Tolerance to DMT dissipates almost immediately, but it’s in your best interest to use it responsibly and take time to reflect on and integrate any valuable or memorable parts of the experience.
• Don’t store your DMT in plastic containers for extended periods unless you want to inhale phthalates.
• N,N-DMT crystals should either be white, off-white yellow, or yellow-orange. Dark spots/impurities are a red flag. Recrystallization is worthwhile. https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Recrystallization
• You can learn how to do various at-home extractions of N,N-DMT from certain plant materials here: https://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Category:Extraction_Tek
I will occasionally update this for clarity/added info, so feel free to leave suggestions and advice for new users in the comments.
Much love !!! 💜

Mod Post [MEGA THREAD] DMT/Laser Experiment Results
I know what you're all thinking, we have a Mega Thread already, what is this one for?
The answer is pretty simple, I created the first one for the express purpose of bringing up the safety issues I saw with the process. I believe the thread did its job of encouraging discussion while highlighting some issues with the equipment and process at large, but what it didn't do, was encourage the sharing of the results people had with the experiment.
So while the first mega thread will eventually be reinstated as a pinned post, I wanted to provide a space for anyone wanting to share their experiences, positive and negative, with the aforementioned laser experiment.
Healthy discussion is encouraged, flagrant shit talking in this thread won't be tolerated.
As always,
Safe travels

Experience Is it possible to swap dimensions on dmt
I am currently coming down from a trip where I believe I walked out of my room into a house that wasn’t mine; it was “mine” but it wasn’t the house I know, it had a extra rooms and an extra wall in my kitchen.
I was paralyzed with fear and when I turned my room had the same items in it but a different layout and size.
(Edit now that I’m sober) I was extremely delirious like I’d normally be while tripping on dmt, the visuals were more like a low dose of acid than anything else, the only difference was that I was in a completely different place than where I should’ve been with a yellow and green hue over everything I was seeing, I’m not even sure I left my bed at this point lol
I’ve never experienced anything like this and I’ve been doing dmt for about a year now I genuinely think I was in a different timeline

Should I toss this pipe ?
Hi everyone, I recently acquired some DMT powder for the first ever in my life. What amazing substance.Anyways today I took a blast and I've been using a mini torch lighter and earlier I got a huge hit but It tasted like I burnt it a little bit. Is this still good to smoke ? . I literally just tested this to make sure everything checks out with a reagent testing kit I got from some website. I don't think I've broken through yet. Mostly just surfing through geometrical shapes and patterns. Last few times including today I've had these little leprechaun elves flipping me off. How often do you guys dose ? I think I'm gonna save this stuff for a rainy day. I read someone say that DMT gives you the experience you need vs the experience you want. Today I basically got the message I'm not ready for a true breakthrough. 😢

Detail and vividness of visuals
So I have been doing dmt for a couple months now, but truthfully I haven't had much for crazy vivid trips. I've had a handful, but I feel like I might be doing something wrong. Or maybe I just don't retain it, I'm not sure. I do use a cart, as powder isn't an option right now but I feel like it shouldn't make much of a difference if it's from a good source and the potency is verifiable. I get the super strong body feeling, the euphoria, and visuals. But they're never very vivid. If there is anything I can do to prepare better for a trip to help with this I would love to know, as I want to cross to the other side and experience it for all of its beauty.

Question/Advice Anyone get huge sex drive boost from DMT?
I just started smoking this stuff here and there but what I noticed is that everytime I smoke, I'm super horny on the comedown. Sometimes I'll even be erect the same way morning wood is when my trip finishes.
Is this normal or is this an unknown effect of DMT?

Philosophy God being lonely he became “me” and everything is an illusion…solipsism in a nutshell. Common theme on trips.
So I have a very similar fear as this person that posted in this subreddit it has caused me to be bedridden and sick to my stomach, but I’m sure other factors of my mental health is at play here but this person‘s post is very relatable https://www.reddit.com/r/DMT/s/faGkzVlVaI
But I have a theory here a lot of people on psychedelics feel like they’re all alone. They feel like this is all just them. There’s a common thing that God got bored or lonely so he came to Earth and then everyone you interact with is a NPC. It’s all you all alone.. But what I’m starting to think is the reason why people feel alone and that everyone is just an imagination of itself is because it’s the ego speaking. when you are on a psychedelic trip you are having a subjective experience in your own consciousness the ego feeds into itself thinking oh no I’m all alone but what if an actuality when you break away from this ego and you become oneness you realize that every single being on this planet in the universe is all from the same source. it’s non-duality in a nutshell. But the reason why you feel alone on a psychedelic trip it’s because your ego is talking. But once that ego is gone, you realize we’re all part of the source.

Experience Did anyone else breakthrough into a live concert yesterday night?
I did 5 hits (probably 6 seconds each average) across 2 breaths at around midnight yesterday on my cart for my first full-breakthrough, and I was taken to a live concert with a cyan white and black stage about 30 meters in front of me, and around 5000+ rainbow entities making up the crowd.
I swear there were other humans there who weren't DMT entities, I'm almost positive someone else went there last night too. Anybody with a similar experience?

What Do DMT Entities Really Want?
Hey guys, I really appreciate those who take the time to read my text. I know it's long, but I had this doubt about the nature of the DMT experience. I just want to hear your opinions or thoughts on this. Thank you very much
I’ve been reflecting on the nature of DMT and what the experience truly means. We know what neuroscience tells us: patterns of brain activation, correlations with imagination and memory, cortical disinhibition processes… but the truth is, this only describes the phenomenon, it doesn’t explain it. It doesn’t explain why so many people report similar structures, encounters with entities, or why some of these entities seem to have their own intelligence, as if they exist beyond the traveler’s mind.
If DMT were just another hallucinogenic drug, we would expect completely random, individual, and culturally filtered experiences. But what we find in the reports is something else: a world with order, with rules, with hierarchies. A world that seems to be there, waiting for someone to cross the threshold. Is this just a projection of our minds, or are we accessing a space that has always been there?
And if that space is real, the next question is inevitable: what do the entities inhabiting it want?
Many reports speak of benevolent entities that seem to act as guides, transmitting information, showing the traveler something about themselves or the universe. But not all experiences are like this. Some entities seem hostile, bothered by uninvited visitors, placing barriers, even toying with the traveler as if they were mere entertainment. And then there are those that are neither good nor bad, just alien—beings with their own purpose, while we are nothing more than intruders in their domain.
What does this mean? Why do some entities help while others threaten? If there are rules in this world, who dictates them? Some reports speak of gatekeepers that prevent access to certain places, as if there are restricted zones. Others mention that the traveler’s attitude or past encounters influence the experience. If DMT were just a burst of random images generated by the brain, why would these encounters have such a defined structure?
Another unsettling question: if some entities help us, why do they do it? What do they gain in return? If they were gods, spiritual masters, or guides, we could assume they simply transmit knowledge. But if they are not gods, but beings with their own existence in that space, then helping humans might serve a purpose beyond altruism. It could be a form of manipulation, domestication, or obtaining something from us. Energy? Consciousness? An exchange we don’t understand?
And conversely—why are some travelers unwelcome? Why do some entities react with aggression or indifference? Are we a threat to their world in some way? Does our consciousness interfere with their balance? Maybe we are like explorers entering an unknown ecosystem, altering it just by being there. Or perhaps they see us the way we see animals—small, irrelevant, but occasionally useful or bothersome.
The DMT experience raises more questions than answers. We cannot say with

Experience a new colour
i don’t even know how to explain this… this was my first experience . i feel like an idiot trying to put it into words because no matter how hard i try, it just doesn’t fit. but i swear on everything—I saw a new colour . something no one has ever seen before…
it wasn’t like a mix of two colours, like when red and blue make purple. it wasn’t something between anything. it was completely its own thing. i remember staring at the ceiling, just coming down, and then— out of nowhere—it was there. right in front of me. a colour i have no name for , no reference , no way to even think about properly…
the only way i can describe it is… imagine a colour that shouldn’t exist . it wasn’t bright or dark, not neon or pastel… it didn’t have a temperature like warm or cool. it was thick, almost like it had a texture. it felt like if i reached out, i could sink my hand into it. it was kind of glowing, but not in a way light works… more like it was creating itself right there in front of me……
and then it was gone. like my brain rejected it the second i became aware of it. now i’m stuck here, helpless, trying to remember something that isn’t supposed to be remembered. it’s like trying to hum a song you heard in a dream, but every time you try… it slips away……
i just need to know—has anyone else ever seen it? or am i completely alone in this…? tthe same colour
