I've eaten LSD and mushrooms dozens of times over the years and continue to do each almost nearly. I've had several DMT experiences. A couple were amazing. One was the most terrifying psychedelic experience I've ever had. Thankfully, DMT's high is very short lived. As good as the "good" trips were on DMT I never felt any sort of introspection with it that I've felt with LSD and Mushrooms. My good trips with DMT: the most vivid visuals I've ever experienced IF my eyes were kept closed; warped sense of time, it felt like it lasted for hours but was over in 10 to 15 minutes. Once my DMT experiences were over it was like nothing ever happened. Zero residual psychoactive experience afterwards ( LSD and Mushrooms can take some time and you can see tracers, shadow effects, etc. as you're coming down ). I'm a big fan of psychedelics. I do not recommend them for everyone. If you're going to do them do a ton of research.

Just to be clear, a lot of what passes for "DMT" on the street is actually N,N-dimethyltryptamine, which (while also a very powerful psychedelic) is NOT the same as 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (aka 5-MeO-DMT), which is the subject of the Forbes article. It would be prudent to find out which "DMT" you're getting, and educate yourself on the difference. You really don't want to confuse the two.

  Thanks for the tip. My experience was decades ago. No idea what it actually was. I'm much more careful about what I put in my body now.

  I'd say it's more than just what "passes" for DMT. "DMT" is well-established shorthand for N,N-DMT, and anyone shortening "5-MeO-DMT" to just "DMT" is probably either not very familiar with psychedelics or being dishonest.

pretty sure you’re describing regular DMT (the stuff in ayahuasca) not 5-MeO-DMT (the frog venom). They’re both short and otherworldly, but DMT is more about the amazing experiences while 5-MeO-DMT is more about the amazing non-experiences. Or something like that
