It's a known phenomenon that other psychedelics, especially 5-MeO-DMT, can dramatically enhance and alter the effects of cannabis, perhaps permanently or at least for such a long time that experientially your sensitivity never returns to what it was before.

Singing, toning, speaking prayer, screaming.

What happens if the 3 criteria are met? You then are "allowed" to pass judgement on others? I'm confused by this. Why is this system preferable to simply letting go of judgement?

A setting in which you are lovingly witnessed, in which you have full trust and freedom to surrender completely, is good for this work. Anything less and there will be lingering concern over whether or not what transpired is appropriate. Really, we see this guilt and shame come up even under the best circumstances, in the most beautiful settings with the most beautiful people holding us. Ask yourself, why might that be? Why might it seem that in that most open state, our behavior or even our very existence might seem shameful? It could be simply the contrast in returning from unity consciousness into a state of non-zero shame in which even a single grain of salt is detectable in the pure water.

I invite you to feel the feelings rather than attempt to medicalize them. There is nothing wrong with feeling sad or negative. If I can be pedantic, sad and negative are ideas, not feelings. One place to start is in bringing your attention to how you actually FEEL in the body when experiencing what you call sadness and negativity. What are these feelings pointing to? What are they trying to tell you? Can you realize them as part of the wholeness of your being? Emotional stability does not come from running from challenging emotions, rather it comes from meeting with them, transmuting them, and integrating then. Healing literally means "to make whole."

Re: how visionary the experience is, everyone is different but the combination of substances you worked with played a large role. I find a well made 5-meo-dmt vape cartridge to be effective for the type of work you're describing. There's no fiddling around with a scale or pipe or lighter. You just inhale and go, or press the button if there is one. It's easy to control the depth of the experience and you can gently re-dose as needed.

Freebase is relatively unstable and and will oxidize and lose potency. Also, freebase will react with many kinds of plastics causing degradation and contamination.

4-AcO-DMT is often marketed as synthetic mushrooms because it is suspected to be a psilocin prodrug. The effects are similar to mushrooms, certainly more so than 5-MeO-MALT or 5-MeO-DMT.

@mpechura converting to freebase will not create more of the active compound, but because freebase is the "pure" compound not bound in a salt form, it is more potent by weight. Like when you step on a scale fully clothed, you'll weigh more because there is a bunch of stuff there that isn't you. The clothes are like the salt bond. Without clothes you're just you.

@manuel bon 5-MeO-DMT is generally considered not orally active in either the salt or freebase form. I've heard some people claim that it is, but without direct experience I can't say one way or the other. 5-MeO-DMT salts can be taken sublingually if you don't want to use the intranasal or rectal route. Orally active options include 4-HO-MET and 4-ACO-DMT, among other 4 and 5 subbed tryptamines. Consult psychonautwiki.

Start with 2-3 grams and work your way up.

Fumarate and hydrochloride are salt forms whereas freebase is the pure, basic form of a compound Salts are water soluble which means they are well suited to intranasal, rectal, and intramuscular routes of administration. Salts By their nature contain less of the active component by weight. Hydrochloride is approximately 98% 5-MeO-DMT whereas fumarate is less, maybe 66-75% by weight. Salts are valuable for a number of reasons, one being that they are more stable and another that the routes of administration come on slower and last longer. Freebase refers to the pure compound without any ionic bonds. Freebase is best suited to vaping but can easily be converted to a salt form on the fly by the addition of acid such as vinegar or a citric acid solution. Freebase is by weight he most potent form of a compound but also the most prone to degradation by heat, oxygen, and light. The reason freebase hurts if you get it in a mucus membrane like your nose is because it is extremely basic. Salt forms are acidic, but the pH can be buffered in solution to something closer to neutral to reduce the sting.

Eventually I broke through into total forgiveness and resolution, recognition that pain is for learning, breaking free from self judgement that I am not perfect on the relative level, but complete and perfect on the absolute level. Empathy for others has always been easy for me. It's is empathy toward myself that is a recurring theme for exploration and mastery.

For me ayahuasca is deeply introspective. Among other things it led me to meet directly with every way I've ever caused harm, through action or negligence, and I had to reconcile with and accept that as part of the totality of my being and of existence. It is also not highly visionary for me, and neither are mushrooms for that matter. It is dose dependent of course but there does appear to be variation from one person to in whether the nature of the experience is primarily visual. I find 5-MeO-DMT to feel fundamentally different from other forms of DMT including mushrooms, aya, or pure freebase

@integral Tryptamines such as 5-MeO-MALT work on serotonin receptors, which are found all over the body and with large concentration in the brain and gut.

Did you crush it into a powder before mixing?

There are many reports of peoples life and outlook being completely and permanently changed for the better after a single positive MDMA experience. That being said, expecting this to happen would be a mistake, and repeatedly using MDMA to lift ones mood may can seriously fuck up one's life. Approach the experience with an open heart and an open mind. Do plenty of research, test your chems, dose responsibly, and let the feelings come ❤️‍????

DMT can be more challenging than 5-MeO because of the utterly absurd levels of novelty and information density. It is the weirdest thing that will ever happen to you. 5-MeO is relatively simple in it's presentation in that distinctions fall away, revealing the singular nature of reality.

My first and lowest dose was 75mg, and that was a full breakthrough. I've done up to 111mg and don't know that it's necessary to go that high. Make sure you have a sitter, and they can help you vaporize the full dose.

My understanding is that 5-MeO is more lipophilic which means it can stick around longer in the fat and organs before eventually being fully metabolized.

Surely you mean 230mcg. That's not a large dose though it's enough to go sideways if someone isn't prepared.

That's not my experience, though there's nothing wrong with crying or feeling sad or depressed. For me the challenging aspects of a trip usually come in the form of being made aware of ways in which I am behaving out of integrity or have done so in the past. Again there's nothing wrong with this and I'm grateful for it. It's simply illumination and invitation as to how I can better conduct myself in this lifetime.

I've never had what I consider a bad trip after using psychedelics for 17 years. Some serious emotional/psychological work sure, but nothing bad. Respect the power of psychedelics, work with the appropriate dose, set, and setting, and be open to whatever happens. In this way you can greatly mitigate the risk of a trainwreck experience.

Probably about a hundred
