Woman's DMT Vision Stopped Mid-Session Despite Drug Still Flowing Into Bloodstream
The Why Files
The Basement: Andrew Gallimore | DMT Didn't Take You Somewhere New — It Unlocked What's Always There
"She was doing DMTX in Colorado, now kind of a private group, and she was undergoing DMTX. She was having this interaction with this entity for, you know, 20 minutes or so, DMT flowing into her bloodstream and into her brain, stable DMT state. And then the entity said, okay, I think we're done for today. The vision's just stopped. DMT was still flowing, the infusion machine was still on, DMT levels in her brain still there, and it was like, we're done. Can't explain that."
During extended DMT infusion trials, a woman experienced an entity terminating her vision despite continuous drug administration maintaining stable brain concentrations. Gallimore stated this pharmacologically impossible event cannot be explained by receptor dynamics or metabolism, suggesting external agency controlling the experience independent of neurochemistry.
