What Am I

IMO this is a really inspired statement. It's one of those that stretches your mind and lets you feel the profundity when you try to follow it through.

LSD has a higher likelihood of producing unified states of consciousness via energetic release. That's not to say it's overall better though. There's plenty of drawbacks in comparison to mushrooms.

Man, I'm glad you posted this, because I'd really like to know too. I've felt insanely ecstatic bliss and pleasure while in deep states on psychedelics, but I'm not convinced I've ever truly experienced divine love. It seems to me from descriptions I've seen that it's one of those things where if you have to question whether you've felt it, then you haven't. If I were to guess on a way to increase the propensity for experiencing it, it'd be something like metta meditation while focusing attention on the heart energy center.

I have no experience with Kratom, but I saw a friend of mine slowly become a fiend for it. Not recommended as an outside observer.

I've heard something similar. Looking at it through the same kind of lense, how would you classify Zen and Vajrayana?

That's a tough one, because my only experience with LSD is 100ug a couple times and I haven't used mushrooms in years. A rough guess would be that 2.5mg of malt is equal to 1-2 grams of mushrooms. It was stronger than my LSD trips.

I haven't taken 5-MeO-MALT at a higher dose than 5mg yet. Regardless though, if I was you, I'd definitely start very low and increase in small increments until you understand how it'll affect you. I'm an N of 1, and there's really nobody to compare doses with for the malt because I've never heard of anyone else injecting it. Much less using SubQ as the ROA. 5-MeO-DMT: 5mg - medium 10mg - almost breakthrough 15mg - breakthrough 5-MeO-MALT: 2.5mg - medium 5mg - almost breakthrough

For someone with an expected reaction to typical psychedelic dosing, I'd suggest 2.5mg SubQ max as a first dose. It's double the strength of 5-MeO-DMT when used SubQ ime. For someone like you, it'd be a good idea to play it safe and start at 0.5mg or even less. It'd be easy to do if you make the vial at a 10mg/mL concentration.

It 100% will. I was able to get the concentration at 3:1 PG:malt, and it's possible you could make it even more concentrated. I haven't found a need to test anything stronger.

I used DXM in the form of Robitussin many years ago. Never again...

Oral DMT is one of those things where there's a lot of natural variability in the dosage needed. I obviously fall on the lower end. It probably comes down to individual factors such as stomach makeup and how it processes the chemical. I've never gone as high as 40mg, but it'd likely be a breakthrough dose for me, so 100mg is out of the question. You can find many other examples of people with the same degree of sensitivity on DMT-Nexus. That really is so interesting how your body handles psychedelics. There's something seriously rare going on there. I'm surprised even vaping doesn't bypass the tolerance. That could indicate it goes beyond just a low bioavailbility due to individual response to ROAs, since vaping is usually foolproof. I've never had a major salvia trip or researched it too much, but I hear it produces some very intense spiritual states. You may find something going down that road that's even more unfathomable.

Have you used 5-MeO-DMT before? Make sure you have a good idea what you're getting yourself into. Even though 5-MeO-MALT could be considered a bit gentler, when the dose gets high enough, it's about as hardcore as it gets. I like it simply for the fact it's one of two substances that are practically a guaranteed ticket to high states of samadhi. Lots of psychedelics do lots of things, but only a couple can claim that. The 5-MeO-MALT mega-thread would be a good one to read through for the basic questions.

Nice report, sounds like a wild time. It's especially interesting how it went so bad and then flipped so good. I feel like that's something that almost never happens. This is blowing my mind. I have a lot of experience with pharmahuasca, and just the mere suggestion of 400mg makes my hands sweat a bit. For me, 35mg of DMT in pharma would be a pretty high dose. And you have a similar amount of insensitivity to the 5-MeOs? What ROAs have you tried? These are all psychs where it'd be a really big shame to miss out on them.

Very cool, thanks much. Now starts the heavy research lol. I'm already seeing a ton of agreement with you on those two being awesome.

Are you a connoisseur of dissociative RCs? I'd love to hear what's good from someone who has a similar spiritual understanding, as you'd probably appreciate the same qualities. I've only used ketamine, and like I posted a few posts up, it gives me a pretty gnarly headache. Though I did really like the experience.

Good to know, thanks. I like the sound of this. That was always a big drawback of shrooms for me. lol that's madness.

Whoa, interesting perspective. I have some 4-AcO-DMT that I plan to try at some point, but I was mentally preparing for it to be practically identical to shrooms. What are the similarities you've noticed that make it like 4-HO-MET? I've tried that one once.

Then for the love of all that's holy, start with low doses lol. DMT in particular has caused me fear of a type I couldn't even comprehend.

That could be correct. I'm only judging it from a subjective short-term perspective, but maybe it would help long-term. My most insistent advice would still be to go for 5-MeO-DMT and DMT and their closely adjacent molecules if you can. It'd be really hard to go wrong with those.

Solid point. I think humans have the mistaken belief that we're really hot shit in understanding how things work. It's funny how the more we learn gives us to opportunity to realize how much we don't know and how complex the full landscape really is.

At least not in my experience. If anything, it seems to have a likelihood of causing additional damage. The mystical states and the resulting spiritual energy that pass through the body are probably restorative, so maybe it ends up evening out. Who the hell knows lol. But from my own and many others' reports, LSD makes you feel not so great afterward. It's one of its largest drawbacks. I've come across some data indicating iboga can help with receptor healing. I don't have any direct experience, but it could be worth looking into. I'm an ex-stimulant abuser myself, so I have an idea of the what you're going through.

Mahasi Sayadaw devised a technique where thought is used for continuous notation of the present moment experience, but I get what you're saying. This method utilizes thought to help target awareness where it needs to pay attention, but the thought on its own can't reason its way to the realization. Like Brahman mentioned above, LSD has some drawbacks that are hard to overlook. Even if it has a tendency towards the unitive experience, it can be a rough journey getting there, and the utilization of dopamine and stimulant qualities can leave you wishing you hadn't done it afterwards as you come down.

@Max1993 ?

There's a certain amount of truth to this. 5meo to me seems more benevolent in its action, even though that action is to dissolve your typical sense of self and show you what you are. DMT and mushrooms can have a very strong tinge of malice that's quite disturbing, and I haven't gotten that to anywhere near the same degree with 5meo. You'd have to apply yourself and gain some understanding of a few technical things, but if you do, you won't have to physically travel to Canada to acquire it.
