The interesting thing about DMT is that it doesn't really seem to affect your mind/cognition (that is, if you can observe all the weirdness happening in a very detached way instead of being overwhelmed by it, it is an exceptionally clear-headed experience). Not exactly the same but I've drank ayahuasca hundreds of times (worked at retreat centers/apprenticed) and it's amazing how much work you can do on a light dose vs being blasted to the center of the universe (though, that is good once in a while to get over blockages). It can be hard to get a footing with dmt because it's so fast (and it's really hard to land in the "workable" zone compared to drinking ayahuasca).
