Yeah it is definitly intense. Anyone interested in DMT should read Rick Strassman's book, "DMT: The Spirit Molecule" The book is really insightful. Strassman did a 5 years study on DMT, and his findings are really thought provoking. Im not so sure about a snake being seen, I didn't see one. I hear when taking Ayahuasca people have commonly seen a snake. THe only time I have ever seen a snake was the night I took 7 grams of mushrooms, and might I say that night will stick with me for the rest of my life. It was a wonderful, terrifying, beautiful experience. As far as DMT on erowid, they are wrong about alot of things. Even the DMT extraction tek on erowid is wrong. Most people that have bad experiences with DMT, have those bad experiences because they fight it. They won't let themselves be willingly taken to another place. My experience was full of love, laughter, and these crazy little dancing things. Hands down, one of the best experiences of my life.
