My 1st experience

[MHermes]

Hello I would like to talk about my experience with 5-MeO-DMT, 1st I want to apologize for not being poetic or philosophical
I decided to begin a long term journey with this molecule but my 1st experience was unprepared and almost on a whim,
this would be far from the 1st time I taken psychedelics ...so I have a scale and weighed out .0020mg using the pyrex pipe I received a few days before, I sat down on the couch chuckled to myself and said ok let's go, I took a big hit and instantly saw grey compact tetris style fractals, then I felt as if every neuron
was activated at the same time I felt a panic and vaguely heard moaning ... the next minutes could be described
as what it must feel like to die though some sort of horrific exhilaration... when I started to come back I felt nausea and found myself crawling on all fours, everything was like a stop action movie, finally I was ok, also my legs and lower abdomen were spasming as in waves as if I had gone into hypothermia and continued for about 45 min, long after the effects had subsided ...

 .. so it's been 2 days now and I feel weird, I feel as if my heart has took a stress, I never had a panic attack but almost felt l need to go to the emergency room this morning, I didn't know if I was on the verge of a heart attack or panic attack, my heart rate was normal about 58/60, yesterday I almost felt I was going to start crying, you see I am separated from my wife and haven't seen my 2 daughters for some years now, I think I might be experiencing what some would call heartbreak...  anyway all that aside I ordered some supplements to fortify the heart, stopped by the side of the road and picked some hawthorn berries and ate those, I read they fortify the heart and are high in phenolic acids good for the heart and in the olden time were taken for heartbreak ... so next time I will prepare and hope the experience will be less harrowing... even though this sounds harrowing I consider it a positive in the feeling something has started to change and something deep inside is trying to come to terms with it.

That sounds like a pretty high dose (looks like you might have taken 20mg?) of synthetic to start with. You could take as little as 5-10mg and have a powerful experience. I’m really sorry to hear about your heartbreak. Sometimes the medicine can amplify somatic sensations in different parts of the body, especially the heart. See a doctor if you need to but most importantly keep in touch and if you decide to try again, use a much lower amount and hopefully with a friend.

I definitely measured out .0020mg (about the size of very small pinch of salt) of synthetic...
yes, I'm definitely going to do it again, I just think my body and ego need to adapt to the shock,
what I'm reading often are reports of others of and their parallel reality experiences, I would like to know this.
I am planning on doing it again and will report my next experience

Unless you have a very expensive analytical scale, it would be impossible to measure .0020mg, which is 2 micrograms (see attached image below). 2 micrograms would not look like a very small pinch of salt. It would be pretty much invisible to the naked eye. I think what you meant to write is that you measured .002g, in which case you would be saying that you took 2mg of 5-MeO-DMT. I am doubtful of that though, because 2mg would not have likely given you a "big hit" as you described nor would have elicited a 45 minute experience where you were incapacitated for some time. That is more typical of a 20mg dose, which would show up on your milligram scale as 0.020g.

The only reason I stress this is that 5-MeO-DMT is an incredibly potent substance and it's really important to know how much you're taking and how to read and report dosage from a scale accurately.

yes you are absolutely right , I just checked my milligram scale, it shows 0.000 so it was definitely 0.020 mg not 0.0020 mg, I wrote the measurement from memory, I want to do it again, I have it waiting but I experiencing some sort of anxiety ... I have to figure out how to overcome this.

It makes a lot of sense that you’d be terrified. If you were to try again, I strongly suggest you start with a much lower dose. Like I said in my first response, 20mg is a massive dose for most people. Consider starting with 5mg (0.005g) and then consider working your way up from there. There is also no rush to overcome the anxiety, the anxiety is there for a reason. You scared the shit outta yourself!

[MHermes]

yes thank you for your advise ... this is what I'm going to do .. start with lower doses
