19 y/o male. Yesterday I decided last minute to use some of the 250mg I had stored in my freezer for a few weeks. Was waiting for the right time, then it hit me that it needed to be done before 2018. I needed a New Year's revelation not just another resolution. Given that I still live with my parents I took off around 9 a.m. and told them I was going hiking for a few hours, but actually checked into a hotel around 9:30. I got settled in and took about 50+mg measured on a scale orally.
T+0:30: Sounds became slightly enhanced/distorted and tracers began but nothing crazy yet.
T+1:00: Light CEVs start and they are very pretty. Light geometric patterns covering the ceiling as well. Everything is taking on an oily/wet texture and I feel like a slug with organs everywhere. I can hear the juices flowing through my body.
T+1:30: The peak begins. "Shadow nurses" starting to materialize over me, hanging from the ceiling. They were faceless and had large heads with ghost-like bodies. I call them nurses because throughout the duration of the peak they never touched or communicated with me, just watching almost like to make sure I'm OK.
T+1:45: CEVs become more powerful, impossible geometric patterns dance around, carving a space out for me in time. Also was seeing a lot of beautiful abstractions of human concepts. At one point I remember seeing a wall of agonized human faces. I remain calm. An intermittent buzzing/humming noise begins and from what I can best describe it was the amalgamation of all pain and pleasure in the universe.
T+2:00: My animalistic nature is released. I distinctly remember slapping my ass and making incoherent noises/trying to iterate some unknown language. My nose was very runny and I was drooling a lot. Sounds took on a distinctly organic and physical form.
T+2:30: Ego death. It began with me laying on the bed, chilling out from the hysteria. I could hear everything around me: the people talking in all the surrounding rooms of the hotel, children laughing, and the cars zooming by on the highway outside. Every gust of air, every creak and every breath. Everything existed and poured through me. Then I was detached and saw myself break into a million pieces. I entered character customization and was picking random things like my hairstyle. After this I saw myself as a grown man: extremely confident, handsome, happy, strong, and with beautiful children that were little extensions of my personality.
T+3:00: I decided to see what it's like to turn off all the lights. Some sort of giant entity with black tentacles stretched out into infinity and became more imposing the longer I left the lights off. Felt like it was going to "get" me if I didn't make it disappear with the light.
T+3:30-6:30: The comedown was still full of CEVs. Everything on the way home was beautiful, even the ugly cars and roads. All cars looked like they had fresh, shiny paint jobs. The afterglow makes everything around look 100x better. I laid down in the grass and just looked up at the blue sky and smelled the leaves.
Takeaways: Do not take such a high dose for your first time. Buy a gallon of water — you will end up drinking all of it. 4-AcO-DMT is not euphoric at all from my experience, actually quite dark and mechanical. The setting probably had a big impact on that. If you plan on listening to music, make a uniform playlist of similar genre.
