SWIM's first smoked DMT experience.

[Lazarus]

Sweet Jesus.

SWIM extracted around 3 grams of DMT from 1 lb of M. hostilis. He loaded about 140mg into his pipe and fired up. He pulled one enormous lungful of thick white smoke, and then..

There was a smell, like burning plastic, which quickly changed frequency and became sound.. The smell sensation smoothly melted into sound without any break, some sort of synesthesia. The sound/smell rose higher and higher in pitch until it seemed to break through any realistic pitch detedtable to human ears, yet it was heard nontheless. The sound was of a perfect crystal lattice vibrating, a beautiful sound, very vaguely like the sound one hears from injecting cocaine, but much more pure and beautiful.
This sound was represented as a vision as well- a sinuous Escher-like mosaic of bright reds, oranges, greens, and gold. The pattern twisted and vibrated in what honestly looked to be 4 dimensions.
At this point SWIM's thought was, "Ahh, yes, I've been here before. Salvia." (SWIM's experiences with Salvia were certainly akin to this one, yet qualitatively and quantitatively different. DMT is much stranger and more potent, in SWIM's opinion.)
SWIM became aware of an entity of massive power and intelligence. This entity was glimpsed behind/within the sinusoidal pattern. The entity recognized and was recognized by SWIM. He tried to get SWIM to come with him, wanted to show him.. something. (The entity spoke in a language that sounded like chimes or tubular bells with lots of harmonics, and SWIM could understand him because the entity's words became visions in SWIM's mind.) The entity wanted to show SWIM *many little children/elves laughing/giggling manipulating matrices of matter and energy many strange machines and crystal structures connected in novel and unlikely configurations my god are they manipulating space/time? can this be the true nature of the universe? with bubbles and strings and solid beams of light the children/elves tweak and feed the machines that hold reality together* No, SWIM had seen enough on this little voyage, and tried to communicate this to the entity, who *shrugged?* and released SWIM from the trip.
SWIM experienced trippy effects for another 20-30 minutes, slowly dropping in intensity.
When he was younger, SWIM set out to sample every psychoactive chemical known to man. He has done LSD, LSA, DXM, Psilocin, Amanita, PCP, MDA, MDMA, 2CB, STP, mescaline, ketamine, torbotrol, nutmeg (don't ever try to get high on nutmeg), dozens of combos with syrian rue and other MAOI's, coke, crack, pot, meth, opium, heroin, salvia, and a whole list of pharms, and has never ever come close to this experience. The closest was several years ago when SWIM took LSD, chewed a wad of fresh Salvia leaves, and after getting a good trip going, shot up ketamine. Yet even this came nowhere close in intensity to SWIM's first DMT experience.
