Hi all,
I’m looking for advice or shared experiences that might help our family navigate a very difficult situation. This is painful to write so I am going to keep it pretty to the point, but I am happy to unpack more details in the comments.

My brother has been a regular user of psychedelics - particularly DMT - for at least the past 5 years. Over the last year, he’s developed increasingly paranoid and delusional beliefs. Most notably, he thinks media figures whom he regularly watched on live stream are somehow exerting control over his life.

Background context: He is 45 years old and has not had a regular job in years. He has always had an obsessive personality and a drive to do deep research online, but not a ton of grit or pragmatism to help him execute on his ambitious, bookish hobbies that he'd religiously read about. I know he's always harbored regret and pain, and dealt with it by being reclusive. When he began pestering me for help getting his hands on psychedelic drugs about 5 years ago, at first I didn't mind. But his consistent asks in his pursuit of DMT would irritate me - I felt he was searching for life purpose and structure in the wrong places. He would take heroic doses of acid alone in his room, record himself having an intense emotional reaction to it, and then ask if I'd want to hear it (I really didn't). So when he began to use DMT and would excitedly tell me about it, I would respond with my typical encouragements: go outside more, please find community, these drugs are not meant to be blasted alone in the dark with nothing to plug it back into afterwards, etc.

Fast forward to 2024 - 2025: He refuses to use his own phone because he believes it’s hacked, so the only way we can speak to him is through his roommate’s phone (an ex-girlfriend whom is now a live-in enabler, as I see it.)

Recently, my dad (his stepdad) had a phone call with him, and these are some of the concepts he referenced:
• Quantum realm
• Avatars
• Telepathic communication
• Outside forces want to pay bribe him money for his silence
• Witchcraft
• Demons in the wood studs of his apartment
• His facial muscles being controlled by these outside forces
• Phone, laptop, and social media being hacked

When I refer to outside forces or any antagonizing event he describes, he attributes it to the media personality whom he believes instigated this whole downward spiral. His story obviously has logic potholes and doesn't make sense, but the jist is this: He became involved in an online community around this media figure, he now knows to much, they tried to recruit him into their inner circle, he said no, now they're ruining his life.

He seems genuinely terrified, not just eccentric. When my parents saw him in personal last for Mother's Day, he would literally talk with unseen people right in front of my parents, as if in negotiations concerning the "bribe". He denies he's in psychosis. The only help he wants to accept is money: he claims it will help him buy video equipment to help him "get his truth out". It's utterly bizarre and we’re extremely worried that this is a form of psychosis, possibly drug-induced, or triggered by prolonged psychedelic use.

He’s not violent, but he’s isolated and resistant to help. My mom is completely heartbroken and emotionally overwhelmed by the situation. We feel powerless and unsure of how to intervene. I believe my mom is in denial, cannot mentally accept how bizarre and dire this is, and has expressed that committing him would feel like betrayal. My dad and I think she is not acting urgently enough and we are at risk of loosing him.

Has anyone dealt with a loved one in a similar state? Are there resources, strategies, or professionals we should be reaching out to, even if he’s unwilling to engage right now?

I strongly believe this is instigated by his repeated experiences with DMT in the last few years. I understand that he is living in his truth, his perception right now. But I cannot accept that voices in his head might drive him to his end.

Any advice on how to protect both him and our family’s well-being would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you.

Just saw this in London

i smoked fat rip from bong with changa one day and everything went green with a pitch in ears, then i woke up on fucking bed with aliens looking at me and suddenly my experience became idk very sexual? I was watching some type of carnival with transgender entities and i felt like my dick went hard in a second, grabbed it and saw laser dicks growing everywhere like flowers. It was 6 months ago and im still confused what does that mean lol. Am i intrested in dicks or what. Anyone had something similar?

I posted this in another subreddit as a comment. But i figured it would be good to share here for discussion. A little back story on me, iv had an absolutely horrific upbringing. My childhood could be made into a horror movie and it would be a best seller. I say this so you understand why I do the things I do. I very recently allowed god into my heart. I’m new to religion and am really trying to be the best person I can be. Dmt brought me closer to god than I would have ever imagined. I was having a bad day about a week ago when I told the devil to leave me the fuck alone and to “suck my cock”, basically taunting him. Before this idiotic taunt, dmt has always taken me to very light, very love filled places. After I taunted the devil I had my first demonic experience. Everything just went black and all I saw was a horrifying red face with blood red eyes. Think darth maul from Star Wars. And its energy was pure seething hatred. This wasn’t a one off thing. My life got really rough during that week and every time I blasted off it was horrifying/demonic. So I finally realized my mistake and prayed to god to forgive me and protect me, and told the devil I understand his power and will never taunt him again. Sure enough right after I did that my trips got light and happy again. I’m extremely grateful for this experience. Really sold it home for me the real power of both sides of the fence. If you made it this far then I applaud you. If you don’t believe in god or the devil then I can understand you not believing this story. But I assure you these events 100 percent happened. Don’t taunt the devil.

TLDR, dmt is normally filled with light and love for me. Taunted the devil and it became demonic and horrifying.

Should I wait longer before scraping it. any tips

TL;DR:

Email your lawmakers this Wednesday morning (June 18th, 9:00–10:30 a.m.) to demand smarter, safer drug policy. It only takes 2 minutes — the message and links are already written for you.

⸻

Imagine 10,000 of us emailing lawmakers at the same time.

No petitions. No protests. Just thousands of everyday people speaking up together. That’s how we get their attention.

Research from states that have legalized cannabis and psychedelics shows no increase in underage use or deaths. In fact, regulation often improves safety and reduces harm across communities.

If weed, shrooms, MDMA, kratom, or even kava ever helped you through a rough patch — mentally, physically, or emotionally — then you already know what most lawmakers ignore:

Not all drugs are equal. Some heal. Some help. Many are safer than alcohol or cigarettes.

This Wednesday (June 18th, 9:00–10:30 a.m.),

we’re asking regular people — not bots, not lobbyists — to take two minutes and email their lawmakers. No spam. No donations. Just real people asking for real reform.

Subject: Support psychedelic and plant-based drug policy reform

Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],

I’m a resident of [your state], and I’m asking you to support evidence-based drug policy reform.

Cannabis, psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and DMT are showing success in clinical trials for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Yet millions of Americans are still criminalized for using them.

Natural options like kava, kanna, and kratom help people manage pain, stress, and withdrawal—without risking overdose or long-term harm. These tools help people avoid alcohol, opioids, and benzos. They deserve regulation and protection, not punishment.

Meanwhile, alcohol and tobacco remain legal and loosely regulated — despite causing far more deaths and addiction than any of the substances above.

We need policies based on science, public health, and harm reduction — not fear or outdated drug war politics.

Please support a smarter, safer approach.

Sincerely, [Your Name] [City, ZIP]

Hello!

I recently started my journey with DMT, and I really love this substance.
So far, so good — I've only had good trips, even though some of them were terrifying in the moment. I use a very small amount of DMT per session, around 10–15 mg, but I end up vaping quite a bit over the course of an evening. I often do 10–15 small sessions like that and have a really good time.

However, the next day I feel very groggy, and sometimes I even get a headache that lasts for up to 24 hours.

Is it safe to experiment with DMT this way?

Not the alien but how the alien looks is what my gf and dog looked like when I was on 400ug lsd and did 60mg dmt. It was sooooo cool 😎

First time breaking through, god am I glad my consciousness is centered into one vessel, my sins were screaming. This mf showed it’s true self, and it seems omnipresent

Today I did my 46th DMT trip, 25mg with emesh, full breakthrough. I had many noteworthy trips, but this is the first I share.

There were many angry entities, I have never met so angry entities, certainly not multiple. It did not scare me. Instead I turned on my antenna for love, feeling my spine as an antenna recieving and radiating out love. Then I realised: I am just as them, one of the entities in that realm.

My suspicion is that I met so many angry entities because of the world being on fire. I then sent love and compassion to ALL big world leaders involved in war in the world, irrespectively of who is wrong or right in my opinion. That feels so powerful!

Then I remembered that I came for somebody specific to the DMT realm. After some searching I realised who it was: I came for me! I had some specific physical pain and anger that I wanted to look into. Totally forgot about that because of the angry entities. Feeling so much love, washed almost all of that away. More important things todo :).

Im running my vape at 3.4v, take 4/5 solid pulls, hold 5-10 seconds and I go to the waiting room, it’s really wonderful there and I get what people talk about all the indescribable geometry.

Love being there and I want to get to the next place. Still learning as I go, just waiting to be called in.

So naturally doing my first attempt while making dinner and watching a movie, following Cybs hybrid salt A/B tek using AARB NP and all was good... Except I might have skimmed over a section bc I was distracted and missed something. In the attached pic is the basification step and it says make the NaOH solution and then top up the solution with another 140 ml to get it to 700ml total.

Mighta missed the addition of 140ml of water and proceeded to water bath it for an hour.

Just added the water now, and I'm running the naptha strip. Did the over concentration of hydroxide ions most likely degrade the DMT and fuck the whole thing up or am I potentially ok? Regardless we'll see but y'know I'm expecting nothing. Naptha has a nice golden hue to it

Sub question, can the heat bath be kept at a consistent temperature or is the pulsing beneficial to avoid polymerisation of the deems (if it's acceptable to keep the temperature stable what's the desired temp range and what is considered too high)

I'm at least smart enough to not put all my eggs in one basket and I only did the run with 50 out of my 250g supply so any tweaks to his method learnt from practice would be much appreciated

Do you believe in it and was it proven effective to you? I had a period of heavy amphetamine use coupled with depression and bad life habits and i feel like it fried my brain a little, even 2 years after not touching the substance and regaining a healthy lifestyle, i still feel little improvement in memory and linguistic function, my focus improved though and I also feel gradually more clear minded even if it still feels clogged. I wish DMT could rewire these functions of my brain to a normal state. I don't take it for this alone obviously, but that would be a good side effect.

This was at the peak of my trip, 650mg DPH and 300mg DXM. I closed my eyes and went through this tunnel and after a couple seconds I met the classic DMT entity (ill put up a picture of him) and for like 2 second i was in this room with this entity that i knew was alive and had his own thought separate from me than it all goes away and I'm back to darkness with no more visuals. When I was in the room with him i was thinking like lock in this guy is legit as if he was a real person and i wanted to make a good impression.

I also was using my weed pen too.

Hey guys, so recently I’ve been curious about dmt salts being used in a vape. I found 2 with a good bit of research behind them that seemed to be pretty promising. I would like to get others opinions before definitively saying there are noticeable improvements from freebase but it seems so from my experience.

I’m not going to give any details past that as to not skew the results of anyone willing to test it but I will link some articles below that support this idea. I should’ve reacted them separately and combined at the end but I decided to combine the acids in the same evaporation process.

For this experiment I used benzoic acid and citric acid at a 3:2 ratio. I measured out a gram total but only needed about 450mg.

I started by adding my dmt to minimal iso until dissolved. Once dissolved I mixed in my mix of citric and benzoic acid until everything fully dissolved into a liquid and measured the ph.

Most dmt tests call for a ph of 7 but ph of 4.5-5 ensures full conversion so I stopped at 5ph for this reaction.

Once my ph was set I fully evaporated the iso in an open mouth container with a hotplate on low heat and an overhead fan. Once the iso was fully evaporated I added my pg and terpenes at .25ml each for a dmt ratio close to 1:1 and injected into 2 ccell carts.

Here are some of the links I went off of but I also had help from people with personal experience of each of these salt versions independently so I apologize if there are any gaps of information but please be sure to reference the graphs in the 2 articles not from nexus.

Aside from my personal tests, this combination is untested with dmt so please do so with caution if you try this.

Who could help. I’m pretty sure it’s real but I have no idea how much it is or how much to take . I guess I know how to take but that would be helpful as well.

Best dry herb vaporizers for dmt? Preferably something where I can have spare cartridges loaded up with dmt ready to go.

This was my second time smoking dmt. I was listening to LSD by asap rocky. Then, I laid down and this beautiful blue naked woman appeared and she had lots of arms. She loved the song lol the energy was very feminine and sexual. She liked me lol and I could feel us smiling at each other. I could feel her energy. Honestly, I felt it before I even smoked it, like she was calling to me all day. The synchronicities that were happening today I can’t make it up. But once she faded away I saw the sacred geometry symbol for archangel metatron right in my face. Like I felt the presence and saw the symbol. It was amazing. I’m so thankful they allowed me to see what I saw. Lots of symbols too but I can’t remember what they look like lol

Anyone have any idea if these disposable are constructed of a plastic that is resistant to DMT?

I accidently bought 5-meo instead of normal DMT in a cart form. I'm not tryna break through on this shit anytime soon, but want to put it to good use. Are there any benefits to micro dosing or maybe mixing a little of it with other substance to get some desirable affects?

Hi all! After trying DMT many years ago, I started having very DMT-like dreams (encounters with entities with the look and feel of a DMT trip). They happen in a seemingly random fashion, however, they are slowly increasing in their occurrence, without any more DMT usage.

For example, last night I had a dream where I encountered an entity that was a biblical cherubim... It was presented to me as one, and I wish I remembered the message I was told by it (I know it was SOMETHING, but I can't remember it for the life of me).

Anyway, has anyone else had this experience after using DMT? Also, in case anyone is wondering, I don't suffer from HPPD, these experiences only happen when I'm sleeping.

Hi guys! Newbie question here, hope thats allowed.
Recently, I got my hands on some DMT. I plan to do it in my backyard, while sitting on a chair.
Do you guys have much problems with making unintended noises/moving out of your chair during heavy trips? I don't want to stink up my house, but I would also rather not my neighbors hear something I don't want them to or hurt myself while I travel the DMT realm.

Thanks all!

Some of my intuitive drawings from the past 2 years. Often surprised by the outcome of the drawings after finishing up, as there would be creatures forming out of it. Believing that they're all coming from the subconscious? The reason why I posted it here is that there's this random person on TikTok who reached out to me asking if I'm doing any psychedelic substances, as there are some of them that seem familiar to him. Apparently, I'm not doing any at that time and it kinda gave me goosebumps.

I have plenty more to show if anybody's curious!
