Had some good reading. I’m not seeing much of a down side? DMT sounds like a great tool to help with trauma. Worse case is a bad trip. Which no one really wants, but the odds seem low.
It’s not good for trauma. The reason is because it is extremely short acting (within about 10-15 minutes depending, you are back at baseline) so there is little to no time to do the work and to do the integration of the experience. Psilocybin remains the gold standard for psychedelic assisted therapy and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Also, a lot of people freak out on DMT because it hits so quickly and so incredibly hard. Lastly, it almost always leaves people with some varying level of amnesia about the experience, so even if you did manage to have a breakthrough or work things out, you would almost certainly forget as soon as you were sober again.
This happened to me.
We were sharing a joint after a pagan ritual and he whipped out a real pipe.
He looked at me and started to ask “do you want? Nah, not you”
And I appreciated it because I’m not sure I could handle something harder than nicotine or caffeine.
That might have actually been DMT…
Nope, never did DMT.
It’s just the rest of the pagans were too square to smoke a J

I had a horrible experience with changa / DMT
Yea, it’s more of a positive trip than any other psychedelics. It’s a great meditation tool for me.
