How to take 5-MeO-DiPT

Administration

The best way to take the substance is orally on an empty stomach.

You can also smoke, snort, or plug 5-MeO-DiPT but there don’t seem to be any extra benefits of using these routes.

Dosage

Never take over 30 mg or 5-MeO-DiPT. Taking this much isn’t necessary and could result in a fatal overdose!

To measure the substance properly, make sure to use an accurate, 0.001g scale or a micro scoop to measure your substance. Micro scoops are cheaper and might be more accurate.

3 mg = Threshold dose
3-10 mg = Light dose
10-15 mg = Regular dose
15-20 mg = Strong dose
20+ mg = High dose

Many psychonauts recommend starting with a light dose (around 3-5 mg) but this isn’t necessarily the best way to go.

If you start at lower doses, your ego will learn how to control the psychedelic states. Because of that, it’ll be harder to let go once you move to higher doses and this can easily lead to bad trips.

You will also not get as many benefits from the drug as if you were to start with higher doses. It’s been shown that mystical experiences can deeply change your identity and the higher the dose you take, the more intense they will be.

Do not, however, start with a strong dose if you don’t have a trip sitter nearby.

A strong/high dose can easily cause you to reach a breakthrough where you lose sense of the physical world. You will become so conscious that you will “go unconscious.”

The last thing you want is to be lying on the ground for hours in nature, let alone on a street or in a club.

So keep in mind that the higher the dose you take, the more important it is to be in a safe environment.

Also, remember that doses that are too high can be fatal.

Safety checklist

Maximize the benefits

Keep in mind that integration is even more important than the trip itself. Taking psychedelics would be almost useless if you didn’t retain any lessons in your day-to-day life.

What will help you the most is contemplating about the experience – be it by journaling, thinking about the trip, or sharing your memories with a trusted friend.

Distracting thoughts can get in the way, which is why you want to spend the day after your trip without TV, social media, and other distractions.

If you can, spend time in silence and solitude. Meditate, go for a walk, contemplate the experience.

Should you listen to music on 5-MeO-DiPT?

Music can make the trip more pleasant and greatly increase the benefits. That is why it is used in most psychotherapy sessions.

However, not all music is created equal. Listening to N.W.A. and 2Pac wouldn’t be so helpful. Even positive, relaxing music with lyrics can be a distraction.

If you decide to listen to music on psychedelics, choose calm, classical music with little to no lyrics.

This playlist used in Johns Hopkins psilocybin studies is proven to be extremely effective:

The author of the playlist, Roland Griffiths, went over hundreds of songs and only chose the best of the best based on how his patients responded to the music.

The music should be loud enough so you can hear it clearly but not unpleasantly loud. If you can, play it in your headphones.

Duration

Onset = 20-40 minutes
Come up = 30-60 minutes
Peak = 2-3 hours
Come down = 2-3 hours

You should notice the first effects within 40 minutes after you take the psychedelic
You will reach the maximum effect around the 2-hour mark
The whole trip usually lasts for 4-8 hours
At heroic doses, your trip may last for even longer
If you eat before your trip, the substance will take longer to kick in

What does 5-MeO-DiPT feel like?

Unlike most other psychedelics, 5-MeO-DiPT causes little to no visual effects.

The substance is almost always mentally stimulating and energizing. This effect is comparable to that of LSD.

Compared to LSD or psilocybin mushrooms, 5-MeO-DiPT doesn’t give you as many insights.

5-MeO-DiPT is also less confusing than most other psychedelics, though it can be confusing at higher doses.

Even though the drug is sometimes labeled as a “tryptamine alternative to MDMA“, 5-MeO-DiPT isn’t nearly as entactogenic. It does, however, make users more empathetic and loving.

The drug acts as a potent aphrodisiac and has a big impact on sex drive.

5-MeO-DiPT comes with a strong body load that tends to feel uncomfortable. Because of this, many users become anxious and concerned about their physical safety on the substance.

Other common effects include:

Euphoria
Music enhancement
Increased creativity and open-mindedness
Mindfulness, being present
Higher capability for love and compassion
Pain relief
Feeling one with all that is
Seeing life from a different perspective
Appreciating small things
Higher energy
Increased awareness
Stamina enhancement
Feeling your emotions more intensely
Memory suppression
Time distortion
Inability to sleep
Visual effects (enhanced colors, seeing patterns in everything, distortions, …)
Getting stuck in a thought loop
Confusion
Nausea
Headache
Inability to focus
Increased body temperature
Increased heart rate
Worse thermoregulation
Difficulty urinating
Anxiety, paranoia
Vulnerability

The higher dose you take, the more intense these effects will be.

With that said, it is impossible to accurately describe the experience through human language.

The psychedelic affects each individual differently and no two trips are the same. Therefore, there is virtually no way to know what your trip will feel like.

The only way to truly know what 5-MeO-DiPT feels like is to try it.

5-MeO-DiPT will most likely give you a pleasant experience. Bad trips can happen but you can prevent them by following the tips below.

Bad trips

Bad trips mostly happen because people take the substance irresponsibly. If you take this psychedelic the right way, there is virtually no chance you’ll get a bad trip.

In case you still do, that’s good! A “bad” trip isn’t always bad, it can actually be the most healing and insightful moment of your life!

During a “bad” trip, negative emotions are coming up from your subconscious mind. They have always been there whether you are aware of it or not. They have been damaging your life and a difficult trip is an opportunity to process these traumas and unpleasant feelings and let go of them.

The more painful the experience, the more you can heal.

So instead of calling bad trips bad, call them challenging.

If you understand that bad trips are awesome in the long run, not only will you feel more comfortable diving into these challenging states, it will actually excite you!

Why they happen

The most common reasons for getting a bad trip are:

Tripping in an unsafe environment (in public, at a party, even nature doesn’t feel safe if you take higher doses)
Facing difficult times in your day-to-day life (a break-up, death of a loved one, …)
Rejecting to let go and trying to hold on to your ego and control the state
Being afraid of the trip (either because of the stigma around psychedelics or because you are not sure how pure your substance is)
Mixing the psychedelic with alcohol, weed, or other drugs
Expecting a bad trip (it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy)

How to cope with a bad trip

Do not perceive this experience as something bad, remember that facing these difficult emotions is extremely healing
Fully surrender to the experience, do not try to feel good
If you’re alone, call a trusted friend to come over and keep you safe

How to end a bad trip

In case you are not ready to face your inner demons yet, there are a few ways to end a bad trip.

One possible way is to put on music that is familiar to you. Another way is to switch up your location and move from one place to another. This can completely change your train of thought.

In case the trip becomes extremely challenging and there is no one around you to keep you safe, consider ending your trip with a trip killer.

Using a trip killer usually is not the best idea because the bad emotions will stay unresolved and you will get little to no benefits from the experience. With that said, using a trip killer is smarter than harming yourself.

The 2 best options that you have for ending a bad trip are Phenibut and benzodiazepines.

Phenibut is generally safer. The downside is that it can take hours to kick in.

So to end a trip, use benzodiazepines but only do this if you completely have to.

FAQ

There is no such thing as tolerance to 5-MeO-DiPT. Technically, you could take it every 2 hours.

However, if you’re taking the substance with an intention to grow spiritually. you want to incorporate all lessons from the trip before you take the substance again.

If you take the drug on a regular basis, your trips will get more and more intense and you will naturally not want to trip so often. Becoming addicted to toad venom is nearly impossible.

Most importantly, you need to trip in a safe place where there are no strangers around.

Whether you should take the drug at home or in nature will depend on your priorities.

Tripping at home is safer and better for personal growth while taking psychedelics outside will help you develop a strong connection with nature.

Try both and see which one you like more.

If you are a mentally stable individual who does not suffer from psychosis or have a predisposition to schizophrenia, there is virtually no way you would develop any mental illnesses because of taking the psychedelic.

The drug can be detected in your urine for around 24 hours after you’ve taken it.

With that said, you do not have to be afraid that anyone would test you for 5-MeO-DiPT.

Keep the substance in a cold dark place, preferably with no air.

If you don’t do this, the drug will lose potency within a few weeks or months.

When you store the substance well, it will last for years or even decades.

Eating before you take 5-MeO-DiPT has some advantages as well as a few disadvantages.

One reason you’d want to eat before your trip is because people sometimes lose appetite on psychedelics.

Preparing and eating food can also be a distraction.

If you don’t eat anything and become hungry during your trip, it can make you feel fatigued and irritated.

However, eating before your trip can cause nausea and even make you vomit.

The substance will also take longer to kick in, sometimes up to 2 hours.

So the best way to go about food is to eat a little bit 1-2 hours before the trip and have some snacks prepared next to you.

Yes.

Do not, however, stare at yourself when you’re going through a bad trip.
