There's a bit of a learning curve to smoking dmt, and it's easy to waste the fairly expensive substance. The carts make it super easy, but like with thc vape it can be a hit and miss getting a good one, and I find sub-ohm tanks to be much better. You could also mix the juice yourself very easily. As for the substance itself, I don't think it's as serious as many think. It's intense for sure, and it can be scary the first time, but it's really lovely, and nobody I know have ever regretted taking it, in fact they all wanted to do it again. Set and setting is key as with all psychedelics - you want to be with people you trust, and ideally people who are gonna take it as well. It can be a great bonding experience amongst friends. You don't want to be in a place where people are coming and going, and people should not be touching you or talking to you, or at all preferably. If it gets too intense, you will still be able to hear your thoughts, so just remind yourself that it will pass and try to relax, and then it will feel amazing.
I had a bad bike accident as a child, my arm broke and I was knocked unconscious and the first experience of my first trip was waking up where my past self went to sleep and I was in a ditch with ambulance personnel standing above me and I had a respirator on and the personnel kept telling me to stay down. It was proper freaky, but I remained calm and the trip progressed, and by the end I was ready to go again. It's truly a wonderful experience and I'd recommend it to anyone.
