I haven't taken DMT, but I've done a lot of Salvia, and LSD, and shrooms (all to extreme points, and when I say extreme, I mean that)... and I gotta say, Salvia has been the MOST intense and the largest mind-fuck of them all, albeit for a far shorter duration.

This Mannny character obviously has some misconceptions and/or assumptions.

And I haven't taken salvia, but of every trip I've ever taken, nothing has come close to rivaling DMT (at least the version I took). It's not even really possible to describe what happens on a DMT trip... you can, but no one will ever understand you unless they've done it themselves. Shrooms, on the other hand, are one of the weakest.

I've had some pretty hardcore trips on shrooms. I live in Louisiana, and in the late 90's, having cow fields around, while being a teenager, I have definitely "over-eaten". 13 or so large, fresh P.Cubensis in my belly. I actually got temporary amnesia when it was all said and done. But even after that kind of trip, a hard salvia trip was more mind-fuck.
I've had some "too intense" acid trips before, which are harder to quantify in dosage amount when you get it off the street, but yea, that tended to have more of a mental mind-fuck than shrooms, but nothing like salvia.


I'm thinking salvia and DMT are in a closer neighborhood to each other than anything else.

Ok ok I'm aware that salvia and DMT are real intense psychedelics. I was only referring to the duration of the trip, because the length of time of a trip on salvia or DMT does not compare at all to the length on shrooms. When I did DMT, I didn't break through and only experienced some visuals for like five minutes (but I'm aware that if you break through it's completely different). As for salvia, I don't really remember too much of the details, but it was really short but pretty crazy. So for me, I think mushrooms is going to be a much bigger step up from these experiences, which is what I initially meant to say. Anyways, does anyone have an answer for my question about the setting? This is the one thing I'm unsure about.

[music_phantom13]

Well... I would think so they are both short, extremely powerful trips. I think the difference is salvia I've heard described as being a much more surreal, dissociated trip while on 5-MeO-DMT there's not as much visuals but you're shot straight out of your body and experience everything you can and can't imagine at once. In all honesty it was actually probably my all time favorite, though I did nearly stab through my arm due to it once.

EDIT:
And to answer your question, I always like to be outside somewhere comfortable when I do it. My favorite spot was a grassy hilltop set back from the road next to the woods in my friend's neighborhood. We'd usually just sit and contemplate the world, smoke, and listen to music for hours.

alright guys tell me what you think of this

Alright so my family owns like 12 acres of land so me and my friends made a huge path out into the woods and we found this gorgeous clearing with a nice view of our pond. there were a ton of weeds and **** so we cleared them all out and probably have a 40 x 40 area to work with here. We made like a nice fire pi and started building a bench and its a nice place to smoke and do whatever we feel liek and not have to worry about parents or anything.

Now what we wanna do is build a house/fort/shed/treehouse thing for us to chill in. Now my family has an old ****ty shed that we are replacing this summer with a nice one and my dad said we could take it apart and put it down there.

Do you guys think we should just take the old peice of **** shed down there and attempt to fix it up? (it's probably 8 x 10) or do you guys think we should try to build our own and make it bigger or nicer? Any ideas of an easy way of building one? ideas of stuff to put in it?

Also how can we keep bugs away?

As long as it's a place that you're relatively familiar with and feel safe in, you should be fine. It's best if distractions are kept to a minimum, too. Half an eighth is a good choice for a 'first time' dosage, I think. You'll get a good feel for what the mushroom experience is like without feeling too heavily 'out of it'.

Oh, and this is MusicBanter.... so I doubt you'll need a reminder, but make sure you've got some music to listen to. You'd be surprised how much putting a nice, mellow song on can relax you when you're tripping. Plus it's just fun to listen to old favourites with a new set of ears.

Happy tripping.

Every time I trip, or hell even smoke a real lot I end up going back to old favorites. Unless of coarse its so undeniably ****ing brilliant that it must be played.

This makes me want my old record player to work. An old Hendrixesque album through a good sound system and RP is truly brilliant way of listening to old tunes. Not easy or costly but it really is the medium of that musics time.
