__NOTOC__

'''DMT''' in its pure form must be administered either by vaporization or smoking. This article covers a variety of different techniques which one can use to ingest DMT via inhalation.

==Vaporization==

In an oil burner or freebase pipe, sometimes referred to as a meth pipe, DMT crystals are placed in the bulb, then a heat source is used to heat up the glass and vaporize the DMT via conduction. The resulting vapor is then inhaled and held in the lungs for a 10-20 second period to allow for maximum absorption.

Often referred to as one of the most efficient and easy ways to ingest DMT, the Glass Vapor Genie and similar vaporizers use convection to vaporize the DMT by passing a heated air stream over the crystals. While the GVG is one of the more expensive tools for DMT ingestion, it is often the highest-rated due to it's ease of use and efficiency.

"The Machine" is made by taking a small glass bottle and putting a copper scrubber in the neck and a hole in the bottom. The copper mesh is heated before pouring the DMT onto it, allowing it to stick to the metal. It is important to heat the scrubber thoroughly before using it to burn off any coatings that may be on it. After the DMT is on the copper, a lighter is used much the same way as the GVG above in order to vaporize using a hot air stream and by heating the scrubber. A straw is often put in the hole of the bottle to make it easier to breathe from.

==Smoked==

The sandwich method involves layering DMT between a herb such a marijuana, an inactive herb, or ash, put into a pipe, bong, or anything else commonly used for smoking. With this method a lighter is used above the bed of herbs, trying not to light it on fire, in order to use the heat to vaporize the DMT between the layers. This method allows for a little room for error in that it will still work fairly well if the herb is allowed to catch on fire, but is otherwise known to be inefficient and difficult to fully breakthrough on without using up excess material.

This method can also be used to create a gravity or waterfall bong to create a larger hit easier.

Enhanced leaf is created by taking a herb (often an inactive one such as mint) and mixing it with a solution of DMT and solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, butane, or acetone. There are many different recipes and mixtures for enhanced leaf, often based on changing the proportions of DMT and herb, but the basic recipe for a simple 1:1 mix is as follows:

Once the enhanced leaf is done, it can be smoked like any other herb. There have been accounts of attempting to vaporize but with limited success.

A note on naming: some claim "enhanced leaf" is a term for adding DMT to something that is already active, such as marijuana or salvia, so perhaps this could be more appropriately called "infused leaf" if an inactive herb is used.

Changa is similar to enhanced leaf in the process to make it, but uses an [[MAOI]] containg herb in order to lengthen the experience. There are also many different changa recipes in terms of ratios and what is used to make it, with common MAOIs being caapi, blue lotus, and passionflower. While the experience is lengthened by the addition of an MAOI, it is also reported to be slowed down, similar to an [[Ayahuasca]] experience, but not lasting as long.

The bottle and tinfoil method works by cutting the bottom of a plastic bottle off and covering the bottom with tinfoil. The DMT is then placed on the tinfoil and vaporized with a lighter under the foil. This method is not suggested due to possible toxicity of the heated foil.

A light bulb can be used like an oil burner pipe, but can be hard to handle safely, and some light bulbs have coatings that can be toxic when inhaled.
