DMT - what?

[wordspeak2]

I really look forward to trying ayahuasca. Can anyone here try to put words to how it's different from smoked DMT? I know that words and this stuff don't always mix easily.

"I think that the main value of smoking it is to understand that there is much more to reality than you thought was possible."

Yeah, like the existence of an entire other dimension right here all around us! Or something like that...

Hearsay: I was recently told that nausea is the biggest difference. The key is not to get upset about barfing, but to try to hold it down long enough to make a difference.

(Sounds like a lot of work to me)

You can choose a cup of a drink that tastes like shit / stomach acid / vomit mixed together, or you can smoke / vaporize a bowl of plastic. Those are the choices. Ayahuasca lasts 6 hours instead of 2 minutes, and also has shown promise as a medicine for cancer. The natives use it to purge intestinal parasites that are common in the jungle. It is often hypothesized that the natives originally began using the vine and other plants for this purpose. It is a lot easier to swallow a small cup of very concentrated ayahuasca so that's one reason it's good to find a person who knows how to make it.

^ That Just Sounds Nasty.

Right, you poops, I know all that (including the nasty part, obviously). I'm wondering how the *effect* is different/similar. I've smoked DMT maybe a hundred times, and I'm having a hard time imagining a 6-year DMTesque trip.

Reality is nasty. Native medicine man say: white man's medicine makes you feel good now, and bad later. Native medicine makes you feel bad now, and good later.

I have heard that a lot of people poop, but I don't think that necessarily has to happen. It's probably because they don't fast for long enough. Traditionally you are supposed to fast for 3 days and abstain from sex for at least one month. There are emetic plants that are taken in the days before the ceremony to avoid diarrhea while you are tripping, which is a real bummer.

Well, I can't wait.

Heard about the diet stuff, but never the abstinence part....
