Happy birthday DPT!
Re: Happy birthday DPT!
Happy Belated Dane! You are the 5th person I know that shares my birthdate.
Re: Happy birthday DPT!
Thanks very much, brothers and sisters, for all the good wishes...I had a nice low-key birthday, and a really great gig yesterday...feeling a little wiped out physically (mostly from moving all that gear), but mentally and spiritually renewed, and ready to carry on for another trip around the sun. And speaking of trips:
"Dipropyltryptamine
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Dipropyltryptamine (DPT) is a psychedelic drug belonging to the tryptamine family. It is found either as its crystalline hydrochloride salt or as an oily or crystalline base. It has not been found to occur naturally.
Hallucinogenic Properties
While dipropyltryptamine is chemically similar to dimethyltryptamine, the effects are markedly different.
The most prominent features of the DPT experience are increased significance or intensity of music, colors take on a new intensity or appearance, the body may have a buzz or vibratory feeling, a pleasant sensation of warmth, complete ego loss, apparitions of faces, and visions of bizarre creatures and alien lands.
While seeing other beings under the influence of DPT is not uncommon, the perspective is more as an observer or watcher, as contrasted to the more personal real-feeling entity contact reported with DMT.
Also reported is a loss of ego boundary; for example, the boundary between the self and a table may not be easy to distinguish. Difficulty distinguishing other boundaries is common as well. For example, different colors may be difficult to distinguish. Other sensory input may also become blended. This is distinct from synaesthesia.
A user may also encounter the feeling of experiencing the life of someone else, or having had all possible experiences simultaneously. One may have the experience of seeing the universe from different locations in space and time.
Visuals are often geometric, wavy, and/or spiraled. Other visual distortions and hallucinations tend to be experienced in the peripheral vision. The self or the environment may take on a stylized cartoon-like look or feel. Pleasant flashes of light and sparkles are also common.
When smoked, the effects of DPT have an onset in minutes and a duration of less than one hour.
Religious use
DPT is used as a religious sacrament by the Temple of the True Inner Light, a New York City offshoot of the Native American Church. The Temple believes DPT and other entheogens are physical manifestations of God."
I think that pretty well covers it...'pleasant flashes of light and sparkles' to you all...

I didn't get where I am today by being on time...
Re: Happy birthday DPT!
Definitely a different form of DPT than that which I'm a bit familiar...
DPT, sometimes known as 1,5-methylene-3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane, which is a secondary explosive used as a substitute for RDX, HMX, etc. in rocket propellants & various gun propellants. You could, of course use it for an entirely different sort of trip...
Happy birthday, even if I'm a bit late...

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dane, my apologies!
Re: Happy birthday DPT!
Thanks, all...I don't feel even a day older, much less a year...of course, my amp doesn't sound as loud, my pick seems to drag slightly on the strings, my drum sticks and kick drum pedal are moving slightly slower, and everything around here seems to have gotten a bit heavier than it was a year ago.
But me? Older? Naaah...
(Thanks for the Sugarcubes clip, Mitch...love that band and that song...)
