DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

deep into the nasal cavity. The person who received the first hit must
quickly blow a dose into the other person's nose before falling into a
tryptamine trance, "trypping."
Elsewhere in the Amazon, DMT-containing plants like Psychotria veridis
are included in brews known as Ayahuasca or Yage. These brews include
Banisteriopsis caapi, which is a source of Harmala alkaloids, and
occasionally plants from the Belladonna family. The combination of
Harmala alkaloids and DMT is amazing. The Harmala alkaloids intensify
the DMT "tryp," and in my opinion produce a deeper, more spiritual
experience. The Harmala alkaloids which are MAO inhibitors, also allow
the DMT to be active when taken orally.
How the natives discovered this combination boggles the mind. The healers
and shamans that work with Ayahuasca claim that the spirits of the plants
talk to them, telling them which plants to use in their brews, and which
plants will heal various diseases. I believe their claims, since they certainly
didn't have modern technical knowledge to predict the results of such
combinations. And it's unlikely they could have tried all of the combinations
of the thousands of plants growing in the Amazon jungle. I've also noticed
increased synergy with plant consciousness in my own DMT experiments.
DOSAGE and ADMINISTRATION:
The dosage for 5-MeO-DMT is 5 to 10 mg. The dosage for N,N-DMT is
about 40 mg. Smaller amounts will produce some perceptual changes but
will not bring one to the unique dimensions normally reached on DMT. The
entire dose of DMT needs to be consumed in a short amount of time. If one
doesn't get enough within the first 60 seconds they won't get much higher by
smokmg more.
Synthetic DMT usually comes in a crystalline form as an off-white to
brownish or yellowish powder. Smoking DMT can be tricky. I load the
DMT into a glass pipe with a fine mesh stainless steel screen. The flame
should be kept about 1/2" away from the DMT. Toking very slowly, I draw
in enough heat to melt and then vaporize the DMT. The flame should never
touch the DMT as burning it will destroy some, as well as producing a nasty
taste. I've found that the slower the DMT is vaporized, the more I seem to
get out of it. I've also found it helpful to place a small amount of ash in the
bottom of the pipe bowl. This will work to hold the melted DMT before it is
vaporized to prevent it from running through the screen and down the stem
of the pipe. One can also use a hash oil pipe, but it's easy to burn your
mouth with a concentrated hit of hot vapor. The smoke has a harsh,
plastic-like taste, and tends to make people yak. I've had to train my lungs
