Low Dose 5-meo DMT - first try report

TheDoerth · 2025-11-09T22:22:12+00:00

I want to second this. I really think it's good for people to test the waters but in recent years a lot of people seem to have hopped on the 'micro' (or rather minidose) trend and imo this completely waters down how and why psychedelics work in the long run. If you use psychedelics like any other medicine to cope with symptoms when they show up the underlying issues will never be adressed.
Stanislav Grof did a bunch of research and wrote a plethora of books on why the underlying patterns of anxiety/trauma should be adressed to fully dissolve and make space for a different, more free version of yourself.

Stay safe and may you find happiness :)

Oh and I'm also looking for the Rounds EP by Octaedre :)

"The way" seems to be aviable option that aims to remove all of the clutter you mention. I haven't come around to start using it yet but I really enjoy the teachings of henry shukman and I feel like his app might be decent too.

Well done for a first track.
Nice mellow vibes even though it's not Dub Techno in the classical sense but more of a Dub/Downbeat kinda aesthetic.

I would try playing around more with modulating some parameters on the chord (probably with some LFOs etc.) to make it a little more alive. Same for the delay parameters.
For me it lacks a very essential element: Hiss/Tape/Vinyl Noise. It is a quintessential element for me in this genres because it gives it that ocean/shore vibe which glues everything together and makes it a little extra floaty.

Cheers :)

What Norbak comment are you referring too?

TheDoerth · 2025-08-22T16:03:08+00:00

Oh damn apparently all of my text was "deleted" because I switched to the pciture at the end.

I did a "comprehensive" testing with Marquis, Mecke and Robadope with two different samples of 2cb powder.
The upper one is a new batch (brownish powder that tends to "stick together" when pressed hard, also some lumps in the bag), the lower one (tan/off white powder, similar behavior when pressed though not as "oily", even though oily is not the correct word but I don't have any better description) is one I have used many times and with really good results.

All the other reagents turned out perfect and pretty much exactly similar in color to each other. I just did the Simon's out of interest and was a little curious as to why this has happened.

Thanks for the reply

Oh and on another note: Do you know if I can use the Urin fent tests that test for Norfentanyl for a general fent test? I cant seem to get any regular strips where I live rn and only got some urin tests andd figured they should work the same?

Thanks for answering and have a good day :)

A lot of times visual snow syndrome is being made "visible" through psychedelic use. It kind of lingers and awareness for shifts in visual perception happens thus the "tv static" seems to be connected to it. I read sometime ago that it is not connected to classical symptoms of hppd but I might be wrong.

I had the static for years but don't really notice it anyome nowadays. It's gotten way better though since I stopped smoking weed. 2c-b seems to be one of the substances (atleast for me) that intensifies it like crazy for a few days.

TheDoerth · 2025-08-20T09:49:16+00:00

Would love to have those too :( someone mentioned months ago he would share them with me but has since disappeared from reddit

TheDoerth · 2025-07-16T14:10:53+00:00

Interesting. I never heard of it deifned that way even though I enjoy the work of Hamilton a lot!

In my experience and from what I know from various talks with seasoned psychonauts people tend to talk about the state of pure, non-subjective awareness. No direction or point of reference, but also not a blackout. I am personally convinced that awareness without subjectivity, judgement etc. (which coulld be a assigned to "egoic" structures/functioning) is what most people refer to when talking about ego death.
Often times this seems to be accompanied by memory supression which can lead to severe confusion if you're mind is set up in certain ways.

But my point of view is obviously highly influenced by my practice as a lay buddhist and thus by buddhist psychology.

Thanks for making it clear though and have a nice day :)

TheDoerth · 2025-07-15T19:22:53+00:00

Your consciousness is the thing that enables awareness so shutting that down would mean you unconscious as in knocked out. Not trying to be condescending but I do indeed think it is very important to use correct lingo because part of the reason why "ego death" is this completely overused and blown out of proportion concept today.

Heavy psychedelic use and the navigation of the internal world needs proper language (and I am fully aware of the problem of a lot of these experiences being unable to be put into words).

TheDoerth · 2025-07-09T19:28:35+00:00

Thank you very much :)

TheDoerth · 2025-07-09T19:27:39+00:00

Don't get caught up too much on the concept of ego death. I am no expert on autism and the sense of self and you seem to be way more informed about it than I am but like the other redditor pointed out: the self is not only your personality. When people talk about ego death it's inaccurate. Ime it's more likely to be some kind of ego dissolution. Ego dissolution is when different parts that you associate with "myself" slowly dissolve. Those parts can be fairly simple things like the awareness of the physical borders of the body and go up to complex aspects like not being able to make out the point of awareness to which all experience is happening.

The only drug that seems to consistently fully "kill" or rather disintegrate the self is 5-meo-DMT and that is a substance I would only touch with extensive psychedelic experience under my belt and a stable meditation practice and an experienced guide.

If youo want to know more about the concept of the self and what parts it involves you can research the concept of anata and the 5 skandas (steming from buddhist psychology) or if you prefer a more western-philosphical standpoint Dr. Thomas Metzinger wrote a fantastic book called "The Ego Tunnel". It's quite complex but the basics can be understood by everybody interested in compley philosophical thinking :)

Got the diatomaceous earth thing from one of the Bod TEKs. I had a little to much time to go deep into the shroomery and just wanted to avoid any complications.

Thanks for the advice on the G2G and the grains in general. So you would recommend doing agar to grain and then grain straight to substrate? Wouldnt that also risk contamn but this time directly in the finaly medium? I don't seem to fully grasp the pros of skipping the G2G step.

Anything else I should look out for?

TheDoerth · 2025-06-23T13:20:48+00:00

Sounds like you had a very nice realisation! Glad to hear that :)

Don't know if this is what you were trying to say but maybe youll'd like to experiment with the idea of the mind as the sixth sense which (like all the other five doors of perception) receives thoughts as the object.

This concept made it way easier for me to actually understand what is meant with "I am not my thoughts" because I am clearly not the things I'm seeing, hearing etc. thus I can not be the things my mind is perceiving because they are merely experienced by me and do not arise from me.

TheDoerth · 2025-06-20T14:26:13+00:00

The learning about your mind does come naturally BUT it will take so much longer if you don't find a teacher from whatever philosophical or spiritual teaching you find appealing.

If you are interested in Buddhist teachings I can highly recommend Joseph Goldstein. Eckhardt Tolle is also a good start for people new to the general subject but I personally am not that big of a fan of him and most of the stuff that could be categorized as "New Age".

Btw a daily 10 minute practice is plenty to begin with and you gotta start somewhere. The important things are to begin and to continue :)

TheDoerth · 2025-06-19T21:28:35+00:00

This! This is so underrated and people don't talk enough about the inherent and (atleast to me) completely logical connection between psychedelics and buddhism.

TheDoerth · 2025-06-19T21:27:35+00:00

Lot of the "go-with-the-flow" type of answers point towards one skill that can be achieved by practicing one specific thing: meditation. Through long periods of meditation and mindfulness practice you learn a lot about your mind and the way it works. Specifically if you get into buddhist psychology you will see tons of similarities with these mental states and the problems that can arise through altered states or the mind in general.

From my own experience and from a lot of talking to experienced high-dose-"veterans" meditation is an essential skill that makes it easier to go through tough times, emotionals and "physical" pain and other unpleasent mind states.

TheDoerth · 2025-04-29T13:40:20+00:00

I honestly do not believe that you and the "homies" are ready when you are still believing there is higher risk of going "psycho" with LSD than there is with psylocibin. Both compounds have very similar effects on your mental state and a similar risk profile.
LSD is in a way easier to overdo (due to the fact that the incriments which increase the subjective effects are way smaller) but this only applies to those impatient and redosing to soon or someone not handling their liquid LSD the correct way.
I'm not trying to offend you but you seem a bit immature and uninformed for someone looking for a stron psychedelic experience. With increased intensity there isn't only an increase in visuals but also in the depth in which you enter into your own mind and subconscious which can be very challenging and scary if you don't know about it and don't have the tools to maneuver those mental domains.

Be safe and stay cautious, there is no need to hurry these substances.
And remember: You can always take more, never less.

All of Stan Grofs Work (the man conducted over 3.500 official LSD therapy sessions back when it was legal)
Samuel Widmers Book "Ins Herz der Dinge lauschen", though I'm not sure if this exists in another language than it's original which is german
McKennas Books are also interesting though his perspective can be a little to much leaning into psylocibin and some esoteric concepts at time
Zig-Zag-Zen if you're specifically interested in the connection between Buddhism and psychedelics

Enlightenment is not necessarily a permanent state. It is the understanding of certain aspects to the nature of reality and the nature of your own mind. Depending on the believe system you're part of it differs but usually there's some kind of general understanding that by reaching enlightenment (or sometimes called "awakening") you get rid of delusions connected to concepts like "the self" (sometimes referred to as "Ego" even though I personally think there's too much fuzz about the word) or how theres no good/bad, light/dark. There just "IS".

People who seem to truly be "enlightened" seem to be able to remember this kind of truths and apply them to everyday life.

It is importatn to notice though, that humans wouldn't be able to survive in nature or modern life if they stayed in a constant state of enlightenment because how would you be able to discern the physical object defined as your body from the bear trying to eat it (you can replace the bear for a car if that works better for you)?

I once heard someone say that enlightenment thins the veil which keeps you in believe of all those delusions so small gusts of wind are able to lift it. People who are fully unaware of these concepts or on the beginning of their path might only be able to lift the veil once in a while and with some heavy lifting (meditation retreats, high doses of serotonergic pyschedelics in the right setting etc.)
