5-MeO-DMT Experiences and Testimonials / Re: Over usage

« on: July 25, 2022, 07:32:50 PM »

I had a friend who experienced this kind of pattern of use with 5meo.

She had to take a long break from it before doing it again because it was serving more as a distraction than a tool to help her do what she needed to do.

For some people, 5meo can be really pleasurable and a nice escape from the mundane. This could be similar to some people reporting that kind of use with DMT.

Thanks for sharing this powerful experience here with us.

Have you considered reaching out to a therapist to help with the integration process?

Even if that is not something you’d want to do, I hope you’re able to take good care of yourself and practice grounding as much as possible and take the space you need to be present with yourself.

Wishing you all the best,
HV

Ethics and Ecology / Re: Calling out / Calling in

« on: April 11, 2022, 01:29:09 PM »

This is a great question, and an important one to ask.

Thanks for bringing this here.

I think perhaps a good place to start is to check in with the practitioner themselves and give them feedback. If they are not open to feedback or unwilling to engage in a process of repair with harmed parties, the next step would be to engage with community leaders or community members who may be able to prevent further harm to others by informing members of the community of the problem. If both of these steps are unavailable, then it would be important to find a public space or forum such as social media, email lists, or otherwise to inform the public about the individuals' unethical practices.

In general, it is very difficult to call in or call out practitioners that are not necessarily part of any specific communities. I would recommend that people only work with practitioners who have community ties so that there can be call in/call out processes in the case of harm caused.

I have gone back and forth about creating a space on this forum for practitioner call ins or call outs, but I think that it is a rather intensive process requiring significant moderation and/or mediation and I haven't felt like these forums have those resources currently available to handle that sort of space.

What thoughts do you have about it?

General Discussion / Re: storage and conversion

Hello and welcome!

The change in color is likely due to some oxidation of the freebase, but probably not a significant decrease in potency.

You will probably be able to vaporize it and experience effects without any noticeable differences.

You can definitely convert this into a salt form, but that isn't necessary unless you wanted to.

406-410 F is the temp where it will completely vaporize.

As always, it is best harm reduction practice to ensure that you have the correct substance. Consider sending a sample to DrugsData.org in order to get your sample tested.

Please check out our Preparations subforum, as there is some information there about various extractions. It's always good to expand our knowledge of different plant sources and methods of extraction.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Please do come and use this community for support to talk about your preparation and integration and questions about 5meodmt.

But please know that this forum is strictly NOT for the discussion of finding facilitators or ceremonies or acquiring any illegal substances.

Psychedelic.support may be a good resource for finding prep/integration professionals in your area.

Welcome!

Just a note that on this forum we do not discuss sourcing of illegal substances nor facilitate conversation about ceremonies/access points for the substance. As a harm reduction forum, we focus on people sharing their experiences with others and create a safe space to discuss topics thoughtfully.

Welcome alphabe!

Most of the connection that happens on this forum is usually in the experience and other sections, since this section is mainly for a quick introduction.

Definitely share your experience if you want to in the Experiences section and I am willing to bet you’ll get some responses in there

Cheers HV

Welcome, and that’s great you have had such a powerful and positive experience!

I would encourage you to take your time before jumping to serve medicine to others. The jump to serve medicine to others is really common among people who have taken this substance for the first time. Consider how you can use the insights from this experience to deepen in the things you are already very good at. Channeling what you have learned via the medicine into your current crafts and disciplines can be far greater service than serving or sitting for people.

That being said, perhaps with more time you decide that you do really want to hold space for people. In that case it is important to ask why and to think critically about whether you are adequately prepared to be responsible for the well-being of others both during and after such a powerful altered experience.

Glad to have you here and look forward to supporting your growth and progression as you integrate this experience into your life.

Welcome!

Please feel free to share your experience here on the forums.

I would discourage emailing, as that defeats the whole purpose of being part of a forum community.
