Some will tell you that skydiving or swimming with sharks is an intense and crazy experience, I have to say you that DMT was the most intense experience I've ever had.

I've tried a fair bit [a lot] of psychedelics over the past 3 years since I found out they existed and always wanted try DMT since I first heard about its effects. One day I luckily got hold of a few grams through mutual friends. I was very excited but also very anxious.

I've read a lot about the effects and experiences of DMT and wanted to set a beautiful scene/environment for my first-time. I had a seat with a couple of good friends in the botanical gardens here in CHCH, New Zealand. It was a beautiful warm, sunny day and the sky was clear apart from a few large fluffy clouds.

We started by packing a small cone with a pinch or 2 [I don't recommend doing this at all. We were idiots for not thinking of accurate dosage size] of the yellow-ish crystals in a cone and lite it with a butane lighter.

I had first toke, held it in for the long as I can. On exhaling, I saw the world around me turn into what looked like a massive sand storm rising from the ground. The trees in the garden started falling around me as if they were just huge painted canvases. I closed my eyes and felt myself being sucked away from reality, it was as if I literally left my body and jumped on a roller coaster ride out of this world.

Somewhere, out in the space of my mind and passed all the crazy, incredibly beautiful geometrical patterns, I saw a figure, a human outline. The figure was very blurry, and it was slowly ascending down on a cloud straight towards me, all I could do is stare at it and think wtf is going on.. just before it reached me, I opened my eyes to a sound saying are Ok man?

I felt amazing after I was fully aware of myself again, it was the closest thing to dying I will ever experienced, and I'm glad i did it. It felt like i was gone for hours and hours but I was told I was away for 20-ish minutes. There is nothing in this world that can compare to what I saw!

Of course, I know it was all the just all the effects of a chemical on the human body and deep down during the trip that's what kept me mentally together, but wow what an amazing chemical...
