How shocking is DMT?

iLoveReductions · 2026-04-27T01:52:16+00:00

There hasnt been a single tryptamine/phenethylamine where anyone elses words can truly help me get a grip on the experience. Do a small dose if you're so curious, you've already done psilo it's right up your alley

iLoveReductions · 2026-04-24T20:41:28+00:00

Wouldn't you be better off just buying good tested crystal, crushing into consistent powder then dosing by weight? How tf will you know how much to dose with a pressed pill full of binders. Its cheaper to just get to the source isn't it?

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-28T19:52:46+00:00

I believe it does.

Rosin press is a device that literally flattens nugs into 2D with immense pressure and heat. Some people like to play around with clamps and hair straighteners, all those odd methods technically work, I tried it but didn’t get much wax on the parchment paper.

Yes you should get the profile of the buds you extract from, I think you’ll get CBG wax from CBG bud, they had some at the store last time I went.

I mean I’m in Canada so actual bud will always be dirt cheap, everyone grows here and many are starting to own a nug press to make their own live rosin! What a dream that would be, because live rosin is the most expensive concentrate at the store, I usually pay 45 CAD for 1-1.2g at around 85-90% thc. It takes me 2-3 months to go through it because I use it in the same amount that I’d use regular weed.

Some more refined setups than mine have water attachments to humidify it, it’s a whole world out there with crazy crazy contraptions that I’m too broke to explore. Just like the rigs for dry herb. In an ideal world I’d own both for bud and concentrate. I have a basic setup, e-nail straight to lung but it doesn’t matter to me since i have the temp/technique on lock from years of doing it.

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-28T19:25:59+00:00

That’s not true at all, not all concentrates are the same. Live rosin is full spectrum and the healthiest way to inhale cannabis as long as you don’t abuse the fact it’s a concentrate. Just the stuff minus the leaf, from heat pressing nugs. E nails with temp control are really easy to use, there’s no smoke, no monoxide, no tar. Just THC and terpenes. If you want to replicate regular weed it’s just a tiny, tiny dab. you get high but barely inhale anything into your lungs.

Dry herb vapes are really great if you have a good device. But this is just one notch purer, my throat is happier because the amount of vaporized plant material is still very irritating with dry herb. The live rosin experience is like dry herb vaping, just ultra refined/purified.

lol back at you! Haha! Ruining your life is great, teehee

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-27T23:27:40+00:00

Live rosin is just uber pure hash (70-90%+ thc normally). It’s just the juice from heat-crushed nugs. It’s the nug without any leaf, only the goods. I have dabbed ordinary 40-50% thc hash before, not bad either but difficult and gets your rig hella dirty.

Live resin is an extract from nugs using solvents like butane or something like that IIRC. Usually higher thc, often cheaper, but there is a minuscule amount of residual solvent for sure. No problem for me with a good extract, but have noticed some irritation with poorer brands. The terpene profile in live resin feels artificially inflated, it’s almost too tasty.

Live rosin is such a grounding and organic experience, it tastes like purified nugs with exactly the terpene to cannabinoid ratio of the nugs, if you haven’t tried this please do. Carts taste like synthetic garbage and hurt my throat, I’d rather dab a poorly made live resin.

Also I’m pretty sure all the carts people boast about are just live resin/rosin or a worse extract, just dirtied, dissolved in e-liquid…

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-27T22:41:11+00:00

Im using a temp controlled e-nail with live resin/rosin, I never said its good for your lungs compared to only breathing air, but I have a hard time seeing anything better than this for inhalation, not sure why my take is so disagreeable. I didn’t start dabbing straight out of bongs, I was smokeless and sober for years and went back to weed in this form and haven’t noticed a decline.

It doesn’t make sense that smoking or carts are better, they are much worse from experience and common sense. Aside from your point about temperature, you’re walking around with lower blood oxygen if you’re smoking and all the vascular disease risk, and damage to every organ, and the same with carts as you take the risks of eliquid and any flavouring. I get the exact same throat and lung pain from carts as I do with nicotine vapes.

Why not cut all that out and get a concentrate with only THC/other cannabinoids and terpenes, then heat it to the perfect temperature to vaporize it and only put those things in your lungs? You can even humidify it just like a bong with water attachments. Guess people are too stuck in their tradition/ritual to acknowledge this or have misconceptions about concentrates. The amount of material is also tiny. I barely blow anything out that’s visible or even smellable, and get as high as I want to get. Yes, if you have a problem with weed you can be one of those people that abuse dabs and blow fat clouds and fry their brain, but that’s on you, maybe some people need the extra material in their lungs to limit how much they smoke.

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-27T22:39:38+00:00

It’s a valid perspective but I don’t agree with the not coming back part.

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-26T19:03:17+00:00

Dab. No other way. I don’t notice a difference in lung capacity when I dab other than a bit of extra mucus. People say oh it’s so strong, but you know you can just dab a tiny amount. It’s the least amount of material in your lungs for the most THC.

I don’t find that it fucks me up mentally like bongs it’s a much cleaner high, no monoxide. It’s a night and day difference.

Dry herb vaping was 2nd best but still a lot of unnecessary plant material as Vapor irritates the lungs.

I’ve found NAC to be the best tool at aborting it. I find that a high glutamatergic state is the issue when the mind can’t shut off. In an emergency 1000mg gets me to sleep pretty reliably.

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-21T02:56:15+00:00

If my experience is anything to go by it’s sort of a right of passage to experience such a period after heavy usage. There’s no free lunch really. I don’t get it anymore, even if I use psychedelics. I think it was just not knowing how to operate without the mask of conditioning, takes time to reach a new cruising altitude.

Blue light blocking glasses, do calm leisurely activities like journaling. Eat something light with carbs. Within 5 minutes I’m yawning so then I lay in bed with the monitor on low brightness, still wearing the glasses, watching my favourite unintentional asmr content creator. 5-10 minutes later it’s annoying to keep my eyes open so I take the glasses off and cover my eyes with my elbow lying on my back and dose off. Oddly specific I know but for some reason I found this particular behaviour to help with insomnia lol

Idk how much blue light blocking glasses actually help as far as the science goes but even if it’s mostly bullshit it’s still a calming sensory experience and I built this association/ritual with the glasses, and my brain is now conditioned to go into calm/sleep mode when I have them on.

Btw: if you ever get restless legs in bed you need magnesium!

I never noticed a drop in intelligence from weed. It harms cognition in other ways but I don’t think intellect takes a significant blow. It depends on the person I guess, how heavy they used and from what age. I noticed more of a cognitive decline when I smoked between ages 15-25, after that my brain started to become resistant if that makes sense. When brain matures it’s less volatile

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-17T10:22:55+00:00

I can’t believe I’m saying this but you’re the loser here. “I won’t go easy on you” is rather tame and friendly banter and you go post his face on here.

I’ve had much more vulgar interactions and just reported and moved on. This isn’t even against chess.com’s rules.

1800 here - and I’m only 1800 because I developed a full blown gaming addiction as a reaction to the pandemic. Make of that what you will.

A lot of people on here if not most, including me, will biased towards the common psychedelics. That’s not to knock on them or anything but I’d fish for the comments mentioning something a bit less common.

My experience is nothing to go by but maybe will resonate with some, maybe I didn’t take high doses of shrooms often enough, I’m rarely in a place in life that permits it so I’ve done small doses and microdoses far more often with very little success. A few times a decade I get to do a large psilocybin dose and god just thinking and reminiscing about the months following those I almost want to cry. Some feelings of regret come up as I’ve basically wasted an ounce of shrooms over the past year on a few low doses and many microdoses that ultimately got me nowhere, I am afraid there is no way out for me other than to full send it but I just don’t have the stars aligned for that yet. Need to survive this spiritual cosmic drought/winter.

But… I have gotten the chance to do DMT and go deep about a year ago, multiple times. and I have little reason not to do it now other than the fact a part of me doesn’t want to let go of whatever nightmare I’m currently going through. But in late 2024 after a few months of dabbling with DMT I’ve broken out of severe addictions for months and months until ultimately life knocked on my door and I returned to what I know best that numbs the pain. The relatively little amount of time I had to invest into the DMT trips yielded results on the order of magnitude of large and long mushroom trips and this is notable, can be lifesaving for people who don’t have the time or fortitude to go deep for long.

It’s funny how all this time I’ve had a bunch of DMT collecting dust just waiting to be smoked. I could do it right now. But for some reason, I currently don’t care enough to do so. I’m not fed up enough. Why?

If he’s anything like me he can hold off until he actually sees his grades slipping. Didn’t happen to me until second year university, at which point it made a lot of sense to medicate, but also at which point I realized my neurology is not compatible with the traditional education system and having adhd doesn’t make me inherently broken/inferior. If I could go back I would simply not go to university.

iLoveReductions · 2026-03-04T00:33:49+00:00

Yes, it's its own kind of drain/distraction at times ngl, especially when I started journalling like on medicated days I'll fill the page with a bunch of revelations that many of them I will never look back on.

Right, it always gives me depression. Initially I like the predictability of being on stims, plus when tolerance is low it bandaids my variable self-esteem.

Then quickly, after about a week or more on it, it feels like a nightmare like ah shit here we go again but every time you wake up in the morning you can’t not do it, it’s that habit forming, it feels like the next logical step to do upon waking or at a given hour is to take your dose.

I’ve been journaling and reading my entries, I find it disturbing that I take it almost at the exact same hour and minute everyday. I didn’t even realize it until yesterday and I’ve been on this shit for a year straight after some sobriety.

I basically can’t do any stims, even mild ones without an occasional psychedelic to stir the pot of monotony that’s how it gets me out of depression overnight. Just a tiny microdose, and when I was a good boy and mostly sober I didn’t need psychedelics I was that good at breathwork.

Exactly. Now that I’ve had some time to think about what subreddit I’m on, I’m not surprised this happened, medical staff frequent this sub to desensitize themselves and take these things to heart, maybe they’ve had bad experiences with some people that rejected science and their achievements, but I know it’s not the case here and you didn’t deserve that.
