[Erowid Note: Two samples of powder (even of the same chemical) with equivalent volumes won't necessarily weigh the same. For this reason, eyeballing is an inaccurate and potentially dangerous method of measuring, particularly for substances that are active in very small amounts. See this article on The Importance of Measured Doses.]
Ash from smoked cannabis was packed into the bottom third of a dry water pipe, which had been previously used twice for smoking DMT. Before adding more ash, DMT crystals were added with an eyeballing measurement. [Author estimates 50 mg of substance was used during this experience.]

Picking up the bong, ensuring a finger was on the carb, I flicked the lighter and hovered it above the bowl. I inhaled strongly for several seconds, trying to vaporize the contents of the bowl without burning it too hot. Pulling my finger off the carb, I inhaled all I could and held it in for 5 seconds. I repeated this series of actions twice more, inhaling hotter smoke in greater amounts.

After the second hit, I began to feel pressure in my ears. An alertness - muscles were observed to be lightly tensed, senses were observed to be awake.

After the third hit, smoke remained. I realized then as now I could have, and probably should have, burned it all until I couldn't burn any more. However, the pressure in my ears grew very great. I began to hear something I used to hear upon waking in the middle of the night as a child.

I call it the silence - the deadening of all sounds and things. It is called the silence, but it is one of the loudest things I have ever heard, because the longer it persists the louder it gets. Images and ideas flashed through my mind. My body felt tight. I experienced the sensation of being unable or unwilling to move my body even as the more intense effects began to wear off.

I decided to open my eyes. All things seemed recognizable, but alien. I could feel a split in my mind, or my vision, like a mirror. I also felt inhabited, or rather that I was a spirit inhabiting a lump of flesh. I thought I should feel powerful, realizing that I could do many things with this body, but I did not. I still do not.

The preceding events occurred in a time period of roughly 5 minutes, with psychedelic after effects persisting another 10 minutes. At the moment that this is being written, about 2 hours later, the alertness of the mind remains.

I will be reporting future uses and interactions.
