Doing 5meo-DMT without prior psychedelic (or any type of sober mystical) experience

[bazera]

Hey,

I want to do a retreat where I'll be having 5meo-DMT experience as my first mystical experience ever in my life.

I've dabbled with meditation and kriya yoga but very inconsistently. I've never had a chance to try any psychedelics. I've been contemplating sober and deconstructing many of my beliefs over the years, but now I want to take it to another level and I want to actually experience non-egoic consciousness because I feel like that will have a catalyst effect in my growth and development.

Question for those who have experienced the effects of 5meo, what would your advice be, to go ahead and do it and see what it brings, or slowly build up to it with other psychedelics (mushrooms, LSD, etc)?

Just do it, but don't take large doses.

That's the thing with these ceremonies and shamans, I don't know how much say will I have in that, or how will I make sure that the dose is not too large, even if they tell me it isn't.

I'll just explain to them that I don't want to be taking a large dose so they consider that.

I want to have someone experienced around when I'll be tripping my first couple trips, I have no idea what to expect and the thought that there are people that can more or less take care of me will be soothing.

Also, retreats are easier in a way. I don't want to deal with shady websites and people to acquire chemicals myself yet.

Once I get more experience, I'll probably find ways of tripping alone.
