Not everyone should do psychedelics. Your friend is probably one of those people. I'm curious if they had ever tried any other psychedelics before going to DMT?

Not everyone should do psychedelics. Your friend is probably one of those people. I'm curious if they had ever tried any other psychedelics before going to DMT? I think that eating a low dose of psilocybin mushrooms is a much easier way to get introduced to psychedelics, and then if things go well, increase the dose. If the DMT was smoked, then maybe smoking a bit less would be advised at first. Going straight for a high dose of DMT without ever having done any psychedelics before isn't really the best way. I've also witnessed a couple of people take massive hits of DMT and not feel a single thing, which was rather curious. But I doubt that DMT alone would cause the problems in your friend, as NN-DMT is endogenous, it's created in your pineal gland and is thought to have a role in REM sleep. If it was smoked instead of ingested (ayahuasca) then it's metabolized quite rapidly and the trip lasts only about 10 minutes. I'd probably never do the ayahuasca form, as it's a far longer trip and can be difficult to handle (so I've heard). Smoked DMT is really easy in comparison, but can also be very intense.
