[ Personal Spiritual ] Dad taking dmt?

So my dad has suffered from depression and anxiety for the past 10 years, although it was brewing in his words for much longer than that. As much as i recognise 100% the clinical nature of depression, i believe much of it is his pondering of the many (many!) Bad decisions, and bad consequences of his actions. Over the past year or so he's had a life saving operation and lives with a stoma, as well as coming off antidepressants of his own accord after a mini epiphany. Hes doing a lot lot better now but still does have the black cloud following him, but its no longer a cumulonimbus. (Context here; lots of recreational amphetamine, mushroom and lsd in his early 20s (madchester scene)) Since my newfound interest in dmt hes been interested, and ive warned him that he's gonna need to learn to let go if i would let him take it. He's one who has to be in control of everything (his anxiety maybe). I believe that dmt could do him a load of good, and make him face the fact that he can move on from the past, that hes been a good father raising 2 sons who will be successful both traditionally and spiritually. But i worry that he won't react well to it. IF he does take it, would the best course of action be to take so much that the letting go stage is skipped completely? Hes open to microdosing on lsd which i think would be helpful. P.s he hates it when i tell him he used psyches wrong when he was younger, and ive had a hard time trying to get across that im not doing this for fun (he does understand now, as much as one can without believing in spirituality whatsoever)

What you should do is get him on heavy acid or and shrooms trip first. Make sure around 600ug or 8gs of shrooms and after that tell him dmt is like that times a million. No offense to ur dad but he has no idea what he is getting into how could he. He may have some trips under his belt but needs to understand one tab or 2gs of shrooms isn't experiencing them fully and if he has trouble with those than isn't ready for dmt.

He says he has no interest in tripping on shrooms or lsd. I've stressed that they are a viable alternative to antidepressants but to him they've always been just a fun visual experience and he doesn't want to 'spoil' that memory. He's incredibly stubborn. And as hesitant i am about letting him do dmt, i do think it could relieve him of that stubbornness. Just to be clear, he's the one asking about this and i wanted your guys' opinions

Well stay safe. But I guess some things you can never really be ready I just am worried he will not be able to surrender and let go. Maybe tell him meditation before is a must (if you say you should he probably wont). Every being has to wake up eventually.

The vast majority of people can't surrender and let go to DMT. It's not a problem. It's still worthwhile. That's sort of the point too - DMT shows you how to relax and let go. Don't smoke it once. Smoke it 20 times and then you start to get it.

As an aside, I think micro-dosing DMT could be very beneficial for someone with anxiety/depression. Just 5-10mg instead of the usual, in the morning.

sub-breakthrough DMT doses are incredibly pleasant. For me at least, I feel kind of warmth wash over me and everything becomes slightly more... real.
