realname: Thorn substances: DMT report: A number of years ago, I smoked an unknown quantity of DMT with marijauna. The following is my experience: I sat on a bed, a circle of friends doing DMT with me taking turns. It being my turn, I took my seat, a Bartok string quartet playing in the background (quite haunting). I lit it and inhaled slowly, a large acrid hit which hit me almost instantly. As I held in the smoke, I noticed a loud whine increasing in pitch, much like the sound of a jet engine spooling up for takeoff. I looked up at my friend Jay, who was grinning at me. I still held the hit, looking curiously at Jay whose face now stretched down to about his stomach, and he had somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 pairs of eyes arranged vertically stretching down his face. As I exhaled, I heard the distinct loud ringing of chimes, accompanied by a violent visual shattering of the room around me. It was as if the chimes were the sound of the reality surrounding me shattering into pieces. I was no longer "here". I know there was a blue and a green light in the room, and my hallucinations initially at this point were bizarre fractals in those colors. It is difficult to describe, but it seemed "fourth dimensional". Meaning I was in a place at once both outside and inside the 3rd dimension, and I could see all sides of everything (and the inside) simultaneously. Layers of these fractal patterns kept peeling outwards and inwards at the same time (very confusing) and this continued for some unknown period of time, getting more and more intense as though I was flying through a tunnel of these patterns at an intense velocity. Suddenly I shot out into "space". I say space because it was black and void, and I looked down and saw myself falling onto an IMMENSE planet from high above. I mean it was BIG. REAL BIG. The most fascinating part of it all was the fact that the planet itself was the head of a blue and purple lion. It wasn't a planet that "kind of looked like a lion", it absolutely WAS a lion's head so immense as to be a planet. I kept falling and falling towards it, and as I fell closer, it opened its mouth and let out a ROAR unlike anything I have ever heard. Risking sounding cliche, it was like the roar of God. Mighty and awesome and triumphant. It's teeth were literally the size of entire mountains, and I saw that I was falling into its abyss of a mouth. Strangely, I felt no fear at all, because "I" was not "me". I was completely detached from my ego. I fell into its mouth and the teeth started that strange "peeling outwards and inwards at the same time" pattern again as I became totally enveloped by it and was deep inside it's "mouth". This continued for some amount of time, and I don't recall much after that except suddenly coming out of the trip, very disoriented. I remember asking, "Am I back?" and my friends responded, "Well, you must be, you're here talking to us". I was very disoriented and couldn't recall much for about 15 minutes, and then it came back. I would caution anyone who reads the above and thinks it sounds "neat" or "fun" that in my experience it was certainly not "fun". It was not recreational, and I had NO idea that any experience could be so intense. I have never felt even the slightest urge to do the drug again, personally feeling that "meeting God" (note I am not religious, really) once in a lifetime is quite enough thank you very much. I cannot stress enough how EXTREMELY INTENSE this experience was. Absolutely NOTHING can prepare you for this. Nothing. I had alot of previous experience with LSD, mushrooms, etc. We used to say that taking Nitrous Oxide during the peak of an LSD trip was a "DM Tease" but even that was laughably benign by omparison. I can only say it is like being shot out of a cannon into space and coming onto a 20 hit acid peak in about 10 seconds. User beware. Approach this with the utmost respect.
