When trying any new compound it is advisable to start with a low dose, and gradually work one's way up. In case of very potent materials, such as 5-MeO-DMT, great care must be taken to make sure that the dose is accurately weighed, and this can be difficult if one doesn't own a scale that weighs with a 1-2 mg accuracy. 20 mg would definitely be an overdose for most people.
..
Dosage can vary greatly for different people, but to achieve a full out-of-body experience, I would recommend a starting point around 12 mg.
...
If a dose of 12 mg doesn't allow a release, slowly work your way up in 2 mg increments. Amounts in excess of 25 mg are definitely not recommended, since they can lead to unconsciousness, physical malfunction, and occasionally to vomiting. Serious long-lasting effects have also been reported in some individuals with dosages as low as 15 mg.
..
I consider 30 mg dosages to be definitely too high, and obviously dangerous. Part of the reason I have written this book is so that other uninformed users will not be temped to try such a large dosage as I did!

dva pripady co popisuje na konci knihy v apendixe o negativnych efektoch:
prva bola holka a mala z toho problemy 8 tyzdnov (panic attacks)
a typek co dal 30 mg mal problemy niekolko rokov, ako Ball a Oroc mali Boha/Void, on mal "peklo", najcastejsie slova boli horor a teror a napisal antitezu k Tryptamine Palace s nazvom Darkness Shining Wild: An Oddysey to the Heart of Hell & Beyond
pritom skuseny psychonaut a duchovny ucitel, velky jogin vraj /ako Oroc pise, mozno bol problem, ze typek roky trenoval kontrolu stavov a nevedel sa odovzdat, nechat ego sa rozplynut/
ale vraj mu to vela dalo a dost ho to zmenilo:
Mercifully, he emerged from this long ordeal with a new sense of spiritual awakening, with the view that his traumatic experience had been necessary for his spiritual development. (His book also presents some fascinating insights regarding the close links between madness and creativity.)
aj holka aj ten majster boli na liekoch aby mohli kvazinormalne fungovat a konzultovali s kapacitami ako Grof a Grob

[A]nother friend was going to leap through a third-story window, and I had to pin him to a bed for over ten minutes while he trashed around and punched wildly at invisible demons. He later remembered none of it, believing that he had been lying peacefully on the bed the whole time. This happened on the second occasion that he smoked 5-MeO-DMT; his first trip had been entirely peaceful and was a tremendously positive event in his life.

este pisal, ze dalsi kamos vzdy krici stvrthodinu ako vlk z plneho hrdla, ze ked davaju viaceri po sebe, dakomu z nich sa moze vratit stav ked zadeli niekto dalsi, aj silnejsi nez predtym, pritom tomu dalsiemu stavy nezmiznu, vraj sa to stalo viackrat
..
najvacsia haluz bola ale aj tak, ze dalsi typek mal fajn stavy ale pocas cesty spat ostatnych opakovane ziadal nech urcite povedia jeho zene a deckam velke sorry, potom si to nepamatal vobec a o mesiac tragicky zahynul nejakym banalnym sposobom, ale nebola to samovrazda
..
a este toto:
[R]eports from those who have taken large doses of DMT are strikingly similar to a 5-MeO-DMT experience, such as in this quote from TIHKAL, which describes a 100 mg smoked dose of DMT: "Up, up, out, out, eyes closed, I am at the speed of light, expanding, expanding, expanding, faster and faster until I have become so large that I no longer exist - my speed is so great that everything has come to a stop - here I gaze upon the entire universe."
co v podstate tvrdil aj typek na Rainbow ze zazil na change, hned som mu povedal, ze mi to pripada podobne 5MDE ako to popisuje Ball
..
[T]aking even a very small dose of LSD or psilocybin can result in considerably amplified DMT (and 5-MeO-DMT) experiences.
