The Big Wow: A Psychonaut’s Amazing DMT Journey (ComedyOpenMic Round 27)

groovatti (52)in #travel • 6 years ago (edited)

That trip was insanely wowwer than wow, it was the Big Wow! And I mean BIG! Mind-blowingly BIG!
My body sang with celestial wonderment as supernova chakra electrified every atom of my core!

Warning: DMT is an incredibly powerful drug! According to some experts, it can trigger schizophrenia, OCD and PTSD. If you have mental problems or your family has a history of mental problems, do not take DMT! If you are curious about DMT, please read up on it and check out some of the links at the end of this story.

Based on an actual DMT trip.

The following is an excerpt of the story.

HOW IT BEGAN

I’m in Bangkok, Thailand for a business seminar. After it’s over, this fellow attendee named Crux turns to me and says in a thick southern accent, “You wanna get high?” He said “high” with about four syllables.

Next thing you know, we’re on his balcony in the late afternoon at a new boutique hotel overlooking the sprawling city as the rain starts coming down. We are both sitting with our legs crossed on the ground as it begins to pour.

Crux passes a pipe, turns to me and says, “You ever try DMT?”

“No, have you?” I say, itching to know if he's tried it.

“I’m a psychonaut,” he says, smiling like a Cheshire cat.

He’s in his mid-thirties, from Northern Florida and has a crew cut and blond hair. He’s wearing a dress shirt and tie in the middle of summer in Bangkok. The last thing you would imagine him to be is a psychonaut. In fact, he looks more like an accountant.

BACKGROUND

It was really the DMT that empowered my commitment to the psychedelic experience.

If you’ve never heard of DMT or Dimethyltryptamine, it’s an intense mind-altering drug that causes powerful hallucinations and sometimes near-death illusions. DMT does occur naturally in many species of plants and animals including humans. It's a key ingredient in ayahuasca, a psychoactive brew used by shamans in the Amazon to gain spiritual insight. In addition, DMT may play a role in REM sleep and may be released when we die to ease our pain, but the jury is still out on what exactly this drug does in our bodies.

Terence McKenna, a world-renown psychonaut and DMT expert, once stated, “It was really the DMT that empowered my commitment to the psychedelic experience. DMT was so much more powerful, so much more alien, raising all kinds of issues about what is reality? What is language? What is the self? What is three-dimensional space and time? All the questions I became involved with over the next twenty years or so.” Source

My buddy, Rip, is a big Terence McKenna fan and has been sending me info on DMT for years. He's also been dying to try it. So, when Crux turned to me and started talking about DMT, I listened with a heightened sense of curiosity.

Below is his story. He's asked me to change his name and to not provide too many details about him as he doesn’t want his psychonauting to get out and jeopardize his current job.

CRUX’S DMT STORY

(In Crux’s words) I was helping a friend move into his apartment once in Florida and we kept walking by this dude sitting out on his balcony as we were carrying stuff into my friend’s new place.

Eventually I stuck out my hand, just tying to be neighborly, and said, “Hi, I’m Crux.”

He said his name was Vape and before too long, we became best buds. It’s weird how shit like that happens, you know what I’m saying!

THE CHEMIST

Just as you catch your breath and are about to hightail it out of the house to save your ass, the earthquake stops and everything’s back to normal.

Turns out Vape is a chemist. The guy is a man of a very few words, but when he speaks, you listen. You know me, I’ll talk your ear off about nonsense for hours, but not Vape. He keeps his words mostly in his head, but damn if he doesn’t know his shit about chemicals!

It was Vape who first turned me on to DMT. He knew how to make it from scratch and bought all the ingredients online at some Deadhead website.

One day I was over at his place and he gave me just a taste. He sandwiched some DMT between two pieces of weed and had me smoke it. (DMT actually tastes like shit, hence the dope sandwich). I took one hit and I kid you not, the second I exhaled, I was tripping! It was that fast! Lightning fast! Like someone flicked on a switch.

Vape said the body metabolizes DMT instantaneously, so that explains the super-fast high. But almost as quickly as I exhaled it, the trip was over and done with. It was as if a sudden earthquake had occurred and just as you catch your breath and are about to hightail it out of the house to save your ass, the earthquake stops and everything’s back to normal. It was trippy-weird like that.

Vape gave me enough DMT that day for a powerfully hallucinogenic trip and sent me on my way. The only instructions that he told me were to huff and huff the pipe till I couldn’t huff no more.

“Whatever you do,” he said, “resist the urge to put the pipe down and enjoy the ride. You’ve gotta put enough DMT into your system to break on through. If you don’t break on through, you won’t have gone far enough and the entire trip will have been wasted!”

Well, that sounded easy enough. I just needed to arrange a good day and time to take it. I didn’t want to do it on a work night as I had no idea what effects that thing would have on me. Sometimes the effects of shrooms or acid will last well into the next day. Just to be safe, I decided to try it on the following Saturday.

This post is GOLD if you ask me @groovatti! It's very well written and takes the reader along on the trip..
I have only had one small DMT experience, I must admit I was too scared to be huffin and puffin, as I thought I would be scared seeing all these creatures etc lol.. even though I was told that this would be the most beautiful experience in my life if I would do so..

I remember the extreme bright colours though, so HD not possible to explain unless you've experienced this yourself.. Everything turned into a sort of cartoon, and that is about as far as I went.. so hard to process already, while this was only a tip of the iceberg of what was there to come if I had done a good trip..

The reason my boyfriend thought it would be good to do a trip back then, is because it can be of help processing trauma's... But like I said, I have always said no, and was too scared.. once the possibility was there because we were near our hometown last year, things didn't work out as planned.. but only seeing that part made me believe there is definitely a whole world there that we normally can't see...

Again, great post, I enjoyed reading it!

Thanks to @anomadsoul making me "A whale for a day" by following my vote while he is traveling, my vote will be followed directly by his vote with the same percentage. So thanks to this you will receive a much higher upvote than I could give with my own Steem Power.

Have a great sunday!

Thanks @anouk.nox and @anomadsoul, I really appreciate the feedback and the boost! I think if you do decide to do DMT, you have to take it when you're in a good mindset and you have to take as much as you feel comfortable taking--as you did.

This is the best discription of shapy shapersons that I have ever heard.

Listen, we are all divine! We bring light! We are the gift bearers. We are the masters of the universe! Revel in all that is light. Revel in all that is good. Revel in your goodness. Revel in all that is you!

I enjoyed every word, I have only ever experimented with plants, but these realizations are the deepest and bestest and most important knowledge of the whole universe! Thank you for locking this into the blockchain!

Excellent post my man. DMT is in my opinion the most beautiful molecule in the world.

Science even thinks that it unraffles the "junkdna" like a sort of key, and that this is the reason that all humans experience the trip in a same manner. The thing that all humans have alike is that they have dna.

After a trip you just KNOW there is more between "heaven and earth". The "reality" where we live in, is not "real" at all it is just the way our brain processes it.

Congrats with this great experience, it has wisen you up for sure. Even if you would decide do it more often, the experience will only enhance instead of decrease. Welcome to the land of the awake.

The report that you discribe is very detailed and vivid. Excellent work.

Ps. If you extract the dmt the correct way, and if you vape it correctly, there is no smell or taste. The plastic taste described everywhere is because of incorrect use. Forums on the internet can be kind of misleading in this topic in my opinion, people simply dont seem to know how to proper do it.
