Last night I had the following dream:

I had experimented quite a bit with smoked 5-MeO-DMT many years ago
but never was particularely interested in trying it again. My current
interest was geared towards "alternate routes of ingestion", more
explicitly insufflation and oral ingestion (with and without MAOI's).

I decided to try insufflation first - after trying (and failing miserably)
to find some reports from people who had tried this route - I weighed out
10mg which I figured would be a good starting point.

Let me tell you that this material burns like hell! I had expected it would
be more tolerable than let's say 2C-B but that was not the case... the burn
was more intense than any other I had experienced (which includes 2C-B, 2CT-2,
2CT-7, MDMA and many others). I definitively wouldn't repeat the experience
due to the intense burning and the extreme bitterness but psychologically
speaking it was a very enjoyable experience.

I never found smoked 5-MeO-DMT particularely interesting from a spiritual
point of view since I find it simply too aggressive and short-acting to
be of much use. Insufflation provides a much gentler take-off and much more
time to spend in the altered state of consciousness (ASC). The effect reminded
me a lot of my with Anadenanthera colubrina seeds and a little bit of Ayahuasca
analogues.

Music was simply phenomenal, taking a whole new dimension both acoustically and
emotionally. Colors were greatly amplified and everything seemed much brighter
than before. The snow which was falling outside started to look distincly surreal
and ego-boundaries were strongly loosened.

I started feeling very cold at approx. T+20 and had to lie down for about ten
minutes due to the intensity of the effects. At this time I figured (correctly)
that this was the beginning of the peak. After 10 minutes the effects had
stabilized sufficently to focus on the exterior world again and I somehow managed
to read the last pages of Cocteau's "Opium" which were particularely interesting
in this condition.

At T+75 I felt a very definite drop of intensity and figured it would be a good
moment to get back to writing about the experience.

In concluding I would say that insufflation is a very effective route of ingestion,
providing a very useful ASC. However, due to the intense burning caused by the
material I would NOT recommend this route.
