yes, about once a week a couple of years ago it and/or the simultaneous daily pot smoking probably triggered mania and/or psychosis for like 3 months or something, it was awesome.
never tried DMT with anything other than pot, no
i don't like acid that much tbh, i really like DMT (or DPT!) though
the machine elves thing i've never experienced, just, to me it sounds like you haven't had a very large dose, now i'm not telling you to up the dose because having a bad trip on a large dose is horrifying and if you're in a bad place mentally it can really fuck you up
welp, i guess you have higher innate resistance than me (though to be fair, the only time i had any real visuals on anything other than DMT/DPT was the first time, the other times it's mostly been extremely changed thought patterns)

i used it as a method to search for the truth, i was not happy with the answer i got, now, was it actually the truth? i won't know until i die but i'm kind of wary of glorifying it too much (even if i've had some great times with it)
i kind of want to, but i probably won't
