One thing people talk about is the short-lived effects of DMT, and how they would like more time in the the DMT space. But as I understand it, your body doesn't build up a resistance to it. The DMTx [0] project is seeking to exploit this property and created extended-state DMT experiences using some basic medical techniques. Also, they are looking for volunteers.

That sounds awesome. I wish I could pay to lie in a hospital bed and have a medical professional administer intravenous DMT just for a short period (at least initially). Hopefully this work will bring us closer to a world where supervised DMT voyages are available to the public.

They're looking for volunteers in the UK for psilocybin experiments:

Adding hamalas a rima Will prolong the experience to around 1 hour if smoked. Using hamalas eg putting it under your toungue first Can prolong it to several hours. The changa trip is Also much more benefitial and feels nicer.

Why can't they just use an intravenous drip?

I think they are [0]:

> "Using pharmacokinetic modeling and DMT blood sampling data, we demonstrate that the unique pharmacological characteristics of DMT, which also include a rapid onset and lack of acute tolerance to its subjective effects, make it amenable to administration by target-controlled intravenous infusion. This is a technology developed to maintain a stable brain concentration of anesthetic drugs during surgery."

edit: I guess that isn't a drip. I know nothing about this sort of thing :)

IV drip doesn’t have the amount of fine regulation and monitoring necessary to keep someone in the DMT state. Last I heard they were planning to get a dialysis machine to do it.
