I have significant experience with 5-MeO-DMT but DMT is still on my list of things to do before I croak. 5-MeO-DMT takes a much lower dose so it's more potent than DMT. I guess you could subjectively say that the DMT experience is more powerful if that is your opinion. The 5-MeO-DMT experience is a very powerful psychedelic trip but you see nothing. You only feel it as a body rush. I will try to describe it but some things can only be experienced. This stuff is not for everybody. Only the brave and adventurous. Only for true Psychonaughts.
When you release the smoke the feeling starts at the base of the spine in the region corresponding to the Kundalini
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini and flows up through the body. Almost everyone is frightened the first time they do it. So a lot of people never repeat the experience. Once you learn how to handle it, the feeling is exquisite. Some believe that the experience has similarities to Near Death experiences and Out of Body experiences. I obviously do not know what it feels like to die, but this is what I imagine it might be like. My little theory is that both DMTs trick the brain into thinking you have died which then frees the soul to leave for the other side. Once the drug wears off in 10-15 minutes the soul gets jerked back as if on the end of a bungee jump. So you get a look at what you will see after death on DMT while 5-MeO-DMT lets you feel the soul leaving the body but not see anything. Feel free to disagree if you don't want to believe that. I've read descriptions of something called the "Awakening of the Kundalini"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini#Kundalini_awakening that sound similar to what I've experienced especially the "infinite bliss" part.
5-MeO-DMT changed my life for the better. I was locked into some negative personal behavior patterns that I was able to break after many years. I've found a new optimism about life. I'm less afraid of death. I know we all have to go sooner or later but I think I've felt a taste of it and, you know, it's not that bad. The day I die will be a sad day I'm sure but it's also going to be a joyous day because I'll leave this meatbag behind and begin my journey to whatever is next. And this is coming from an atheist who does not believe in the bible. The 5-MeO-DMT experience can work during sex. Yes you can feel like you are dying while having sex. Doesn't sound like fun but you have no idea, words do not exist to describe the ecstasy.
If you dump the 5-MeO into a pipe and use a lighter you will waste much of it as the flame destroys the compound. You need a crack pipe or some equivalent. Someone on this forum reported good results with a volcano vaporizer. Next time I get my mitts on some 5-MeO I will try a vape.
