I did not get an overwhelming sense of love and comfort (5-MeO). I got the opposite. The experience is what taught me that I shouldn't personally be dicking around with my consciousness that way.
If you ever change your mind in the future, I think you would have a more positive experience with N,N-DMT. DMT is very similar to serotonin and trytophan so perhaps that's why it's well tolerated by the body.
With a breakthrough dose (e.g. 4 hits), you simply cannot believe what is happening as it's happening. It feels like you are in a dimension of hyperspace with a sensation of intelligent forces communicating with you; laughing at you in a ultra high definition resolution of colors, geometric shapes and positivity. It feels more real than reality. Whatever it is, it is certainly a grand mystery of life.
5-meo-dmt is a completely different beast than N,N,DMT.
For one, while 5-meo-dmt is endogenous to many organisms (Bufo Alvarius/Colorado River Toad/Sonoran Desert Toad being one of them) it is not found in the human brain.
It's also said to be more intense in an uncomfortable direction than DMT.
FYI, DMT production in the human brain is not supported by any scientific studies. There were studies that found negligible amounts in rat brains, but those have not been successfully duplicated. So it's possible that it's there, but it's commonly stated as a fact when in reality, we just don't know.
DMT production (or even existence) in the brain hasn't been conclusively demonstrated, but it has been found in other human tissue, so it is produced somewhere in the body. Dr. Rick Strassman (who has written books on specifically this subject) seems to make a good case for its production in the brain, but you're right that it isn't accepted as scientific fact yet.
as Doug Stanhope once said: "There's only two types of people who are against drugs: the people who have never done drugs and the people who really sucked at doing drugs."
What did he say about the type of person who can't hear anything negative about any drug without trying to turn it into a debate about prohibition? Are they just sort of intuitively good at psychopharmacology? If so, I'll get right on that recommendation.
