    Summary TripSit PsychonautWiki

    thumbnail Changa (or xanga) is a blanket term for a smokable blend that contains the psychedelic substance dimethyltryptamine (NN-DMT) infused onto a MAOI containing herb such as syrian rue or banisteriopsis caapi. Changa is usually made by pouring a DMT solution (such as DMT that has been mixed with isopropyl alcohol) over a chosen blend of herbs and letting the solvent evaporate. The final product can then be smoked in a manner like tobacco or cannabis.

    The Flower - DMT (Changa) Breakthrough It is a late spring afternoon and I'm sitting in a small wood of pine and oak trees. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I have already experienced sub-breakthrough doses of changa, but this time I want to vaporize some more. My curiosity is stronger than my fears.

    [DISCLAIMER: This is my experience and my opinions. In no way am I trying to force my ideals on anybody not am I implying that what I go through, everyone will. If you don't like what I write, fair enough. But I'm just telling my story.] I sought inspiration or guidance to take hold of my life.

    Led Through the Splendors of My Psyche neutral exp #114304

    Preface: I tried DMT several times, though none of the experiences were particularly noteworthy. Just a mild psychedelia, visuals begin to creep in, it builds like a plane ready for takeoff, just for a minute, then- the engines sputter, it brakes on the runway and rolls to a stop, everything’s faded back to baseline.

    Once on a Blue Moon neutral exp #97520

    This was a very intense, full circle spiritual experience. The DMT was smoked in the form of changa. I had smoked a few hits of weed about an hour before. I don't smoke weed very often, so I was quite high while I was preparing the jar you will read about. I wasn't high anymore by the time I moved to the window.

    First Changa Experience _ DMT Lesbians ~My most vivid and authentic encounter with DMT entities~ I had less than half a gram of some changa and was sitting on it for months, waiting for the perfect time to take my changa virginity.

    Warning: The Breakthrough You Don't Want cautionary exp #114293

    Let me explain a bit about myself. My warning about DMT must be understood from someone who hates warnings about DMT. Hopefully the most adventurous of you will recognize yourselves in me and take it seriously. I am quite experienced with psychedelics: took high doses of shrooms and LSD over the past 10 years.
