It's an uplifting experience hun! Tea is the way to go. If your shaman ever gives you the honey, it is quite something as well.

I've done DMT the Chemical also many times.

I can tell you that with DMT the chemical there is no comparison to doing it the right way (AYAHUASCA). It smells like mothballs, tastes even worse and if you don't get a nice white it will really only be a body high like smoking crack. When you do get a nice white, it comes on so powerfully and quickly that it can be scary. It really kills the lungs also, in a very painful way too.

Seeing a group of people smoking DMT is much worse. From third person it does not look good, it looks and feels dark when looking in on a circle of smokers.

However, all that said... It is definitely an experience worth having a time or two. There is nothing like the feeling of a 10 strip of LSD hitting you at peak faster than you can count to 3. In fact, if you can count to three you did not get the proper hit. Gone very fast also. Personally, I never suggest this experience to people however it is one to know about.

From my experiences with it, it was the only hallucinogenic experience that just never brought enlightenment of any kind.

In my personal an spiritual opinion there is something very wrong with smoking DMT. I don't believe great spirit is not very happy that we have done this with such a perfect plant.
