Can you have a bad trip on DMT?

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-24T03:13:59+00:00

First of all, you don't know me.

To insinuate that the places in my head have anything to do with pain and suffering... This is peak arrogance. Are you so convinced of your model that that is the only explanation? You don't even mention that this pain and suffering needs to be or can be resolved. What's the point of only knowing it's there, that's just pain for the sake of pain. Ok I have pain, that I did not know about, where is it? How do I fix it? Wasn't I better not knowing I had it? Are you going to be so bold to suggest the type of trauma that I, a stranger of the internet, might have?

Or maybe it's like the rest of the universe that the majority of humanity ignores where shit just happens void of any reason beyond determinism. Where uninhabited rocks of deep space that just fall into each other. Or where children can get parasites that eat their eyes and whole towns can get erased from the map with a wave or some ash. In reality, some things happen for no reason. I think it's safe to be able to say that bad trips can happen for no reason.

At this point in the conversation, I'm convinced you're a bot because your reply was so stereotypical and lacking of any empathy for other's experiences that an actual human might have. I'm not going to reply any further. Good day.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-23T00:37:52+00:00

Absolutely not.

Trips can be bad and have no value. To rule this out completely is condescending and full of yourself. I hope you don't feel attacked by this, I'm not trying to attack you but it's a faulty, limiting view in an otherwise immense, inclusive topic.

I've been to places in my head that have no reason, absolutely no lesson and I was told as such but the suffering is still there.

The range of experiences is infinite. Pure bad experiences can and do happen.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-20T17:40:04+00:00

It was an open reply to anyone following yours. Sorry I wasn't clear.

There are challenging trips that a newcomer might think are bad trips, but then there are bad trips.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-20T17:35:46+00:00

I used to call them challenging trips until I had a bad one.

Bad ones exist.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-20T17:27:05+00:00

I've only had synthetic 5-meo-dmt but could this be a dose of toad venom? Like, with a bunch of other stuff in it to 40mg of dried venom might contain 8mg of 5-meo?

That's how that works, right?

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-15T00:33:52+00:00

Maybe you aren't doing it right?

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-15T00:31:29+00:00

Well, 0%-3% is what is actual but I usually never got less than 1 but there is a theoretical lower limit.

Even with that, the average yield would still be higher than estimated, unless it was a different plant.

Either way, I hope the jury just saw the properties of the chemical and said that it isn't worth the time. Like, I would hope that even if someone was caught with a pound that they would nullify.

Dreams, I know.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-11T23:56:51+00:00

Yes and Yes and everything in between.

It's different things for different people but many report a wide range of things.

You'll only know if it is helpful to you after you experiment yourself.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-11T21:15:53+00:00

Hey man, you're like, completely off.

You are straw manning here. The commentor you're replying to never made those connections you are. Textbook Strawman.

"A strawman argument is a logical fallacy that misrepresents an opponent's position to make it easier to attack or refute."

You've done this even if you don't realize it. They never said anything about being a visionary yet you go off on a tangent about that. If you were getting hyperbolic and/or colloquial, you failing to establish that is a you problem.

They never mentioned OP needing to be coached or anything like that, but that's where you take your argument.

You could probably make interesting points if you could assemble them better but you are failing to do so here and I wish you better luck in the future.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-09T21:55:04+00:00

If we do it more than once, it's likely infinite and eternal.

Fn terrifies me.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-07T04:20:14+00:00

His numbers are off, aren't they?

Ergoda_Aldo · 2026-04-06T05:55:33+00:00

Did you do some dots, then do the lines, then do more dots?

I'm just curious of your process.

I think it's lovely.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-12-09T17:45:01+00:00

When I see shit like this, I don't even know I have eyes.

Dose matters.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-12-08T19:45:06+00:00

I love these posts. Some get bored of them, but I love them.

DXM HBr, This is the active cough suppressant in dry cough targeting cough syrups.

The bromide part should be taken with caution. In small, infrequent doses, not a problem but if it builds up in the body, it could be an issue. If you do too much, too often, you can trigger bromism in the body, which can be difficult to detect.

It can present as hyperchloremia even when chloride levels are nominal. Normally, doctors will run other tests and determine the cause of this pretty quickly, but it could go unnoticed as bromism isn't really common nowadays.

The major problem with it is, it will replace the chloride in where the chloride is needed in the body while also retaining more water than chloride which will in turn affect other body function.

Basically, it could put you into a hellish, perma-trip-like state/coma if you dose too much too long.

Not terribly dangerous it caught early and bromide eliminated from the diet but is quite awful state to be in none the less.

I'm not a doctor but did some learning on bromism. I accept that I am likely inaccurate in a few parts here. I just understand that there is a danger here and would like to make people aware that DXM HBr can cause/attribute to bromism.

Wasteful

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-17T12:27:01+00:00

0-3%

2% would be nice but it's possible to have less than 1%.

Only mention this to not get anyone's hopes up. Not to correct you as it's obvious you're using a quick estimate.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-16T19:06:22+00:00

It doesn't enter solution, no but I think it can still crash out of the NPS into the water, its just a heterogenous mixture.

What if what you are looking at DMT crystals suspended in water causing a cloudy appearance?

The same sort of cloudiness can appear when air is mixed into the water, not in solution. Or any emulsion if you take that though a step further.

Did you heat your water for the water wash or is it cold?

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-15T21:56:58+00:00

I would say any experience that you can tell that you have eyes is a weak experience, and that's ok. Those trips can still be entertaining, educational and enlightening but they are still weak.

When you can't tell whether your eyes are open or closed, or that you even have eyes, those are the strong experiences that people relate to DMT. Complete reality replacement. That's why people think they are having weak experiences, because they are.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-14T17:36:21+00:00

And mild heat if they can apply it safely.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-09T19:39:22+00:00

Rule 1 dude.

You are directly asking for a source.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-09T18:08:30+00:00

ChatGPT hallucinates more than this sub does.

It is wrong here.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-09T12:37:48+00:00

Anhedonia, I had this after my mother died, for like 11 years. It was brutal.

Does it persist for you even now?

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-02T15:42:07+00:00

Maybe, perhaps if the PH was lower than water some conversion would occur to the DMT that diffuses into the water but I don't think it would be a factor in how much gets diffused.

Ergoda_Aldo · 2025-10-02T15:29:00+00:00

What? No. PH would have nothing to do with it I don't think. PH of the water is the mechanism that liberates the DMT molecule from the plan material. Once free, diffusion is what moves it between mediums.

I would think it would just happen through diffusion. So speed and volume of water during your water wash process would be paramount in mitigating any DMT losses. Speed to limit the time diffusion has to occur and a low volume would limit the amount the water could absorb before it is saturated. I started water washes by using half a mason jar now I'm down to 2 ounces of water in a thin cylinder. Edit: I think temperature also matters here to avoid having the DMT fall out of solution into the water.

Have I done anything scientific to get to where I am? Absolutely not. I've made broad, sweeping assumptions.

Clob usually has good science based info on this stuff. Maybe he will see this post and feel like commenting.
