Spiritual MeO

Original Trip Report on Lycaeum

Substances: 5-MeO-DMT
Dose: about 5 mg smoked

I recently received 250 mgs of 5meo-dmt in the mail. This amount of the substance looked extremely small, and I eyeballed 5 mgs. My first two attempts to vaporize failed miserably, leaving behind a boiling liquid and no smoke what so ever. I was with friends and we were all very disappointed. I then remembered that some people just smoked the powder on ash in a bowl. We smoked a small amount of pot each and left the ash in the bowl. I sprinkled another 5mgs over it, clicked the lighter, and there it was, that plastic taste I remembered from my one time experience with DMT. My friends asked if I had succeeded and before the effects could manifest I knew I had and nodded "yes". I then felt some bizarre changes in consciousness and new it was best to sit down. I started to have some difficulty breathing, and I noticed some extreme time distortions. Within a couple of seconds I had completely overcome the breathing abnormalities, and then a clear white light wove itself throughout all of my vision field. I have a hard time remembering this part of the trip, but I never really felt at all scared during it. I remembering opening my eyes as this stage began to subside and I saw a heron in the distance (we were on a porch over looking a river) moving very slowly through the air, almost in frames. Its movements were very graceful, and it inspired me to move my body. At this point I was in pure ecstasy. I was sort of jumpy and defiantly happy, more than happy, I had been humbled to the point of absolute bliss. It was incredible, I felt like all the energy in the universe was flowing through my body and cleansing my soul. I laughed and I cried at the same time and I then realized my two friends had taken hits of this beautiful drug as well, but weren't having such a great time. I figured they must just be entering those first stages of uncomfortableness, and I coached them on (though I doubt they could hear or understand me). One friend reported extreme hallucinations at this point, he mumbled, "There's jungles over everything, and a drum beat". The other was completely lethargic, lifeless and afterwards reported having blacked out. When we were all capable of walking we were still feeling quite energized and messed up. We all bonded incredibly, and my friend said that this was the first moment in his life he had felt complete clarity, and we all agreed that we felt the same. The group attitude was definitely positive and we walked down to the river and it began to rain. It felt great, and completely went along with the cleansing nature of our experience. We talked a bit, and one friend reported basically the same experience I had, with the white light being his only real visual. My other friend swore that after the light took hold of him he had what he called "visions", not hallucinations, of jungles and such. Another friend of mine, who "doesn't do drugs", sat in on the trip to make sure we were ok. She said that I was by far the most relaxed looking when I went into my trip, and that I communicated with her and the other trippers, or at least tried to, quite often during the experience. In an hour we were completely down, and had slight head aches and tiredness. Personally, I didn't have a fearful moment the whole time, but my friends did report some at the very beginning. One said that about a minute into the trip it got emotionally painful, but when he let go of his ego it was great.

On a scale of one to ten on greatness and intensity I would have to give this substance a 9.5, with ordinary DMT being 10. It showed me so much in such a small amount of time, it blew my mind. I hear all these stories of how it is "chemical terror" but I have never felt so good and at rest with the universe as I did today. I didn't experience any interesting dmt-like visuals though, but that didn't matter at the time. The really bizarre thing about the experience is that even though I had a thoroughly pleasant experience, I am reluctant to try it again. The amount of respect I have for this chemical is beyond words, and because it showed me such a great and harmonious side of existence, abusing it would just be wrong, a betrayal of a trust I have never known with any other substance. Definitely recommended to anyone who has the experience it takes to handle 5meo's power, and wants a truly spiritual and intense trip. My only suggestions are to be prepared to totally let go of your ego, don't get frustrated if vaporizing doesn't work (a pipe with ash works fine), and to treat this potentially beautiful substance with the respect it deserves.
