Here is a Trip Report that may (or may not) be posted to erowid when I feel it is complete; my memory of the event comes back slowly as I try to recall what happened and when.
Age: Young and physically healthy
Weight: ~60 kg
Dosage of 4-HO-DMT (freebase) : 35-40mg
Source: Vendor... (White pure flakey powder)
Desired effects: To see just how far down the rabbit hole goes.
Intensity: (Very Intense)
ROA: Oral in sugar solution to avoid taste - has no after taste - but still strong chemical taste/smell.
Background: I have some experience with cannabis, MDA, LSD, MDMA, 2C-I, psilocybin mushrooms, mood was anxious but good.
Experience Time Line:
The main effects lasted a total of 9 hours, while they peaked around hour 3-4 the Come up before visuals started was just less than an hour.
Mental state was clear until 1.5 hours into the experience when the visuals developed further only to spring to life the un-natural world inside my home.
It might be described as riding a single very large wave and turning out the backside moments before it crashes on the shoreline -if you are familiar with surfing. If you are familiar with psychedelic mushrooms then you know that the mushroom experience comes in waves -building and receding in strength, only to swell to a new heights during the next wave.
Details:
Music kick-started the experience, but was quickly removed because of extreme peace followed by rushes of paranoia.
The music is called "Are you shpongled" by Shpongle. It is a perfect complement to the mushroom state.
Come-up was extremely quick, an ever intensifying wave of emotion and psychedelia persisted until my mental state was broken down to that of a child -innocent and incapable of truly anything- yet the fundamental instincts of survival remained embedded in the imagery that would present itself later in the evening.
The visuals could be described as fun and mushroom-like until the peak of the experience when they began to take a new form. The visuals now held meaning and represented some memory long forgotten of a world forged in respect for earth and her plants.
An out-of-body experience occurred during the peak of effects, it had lasted, (perhaps, but no way to really tell) 5 minutes, during which time my body started to shut down. It did not believe it had reason to remain functioning as it did not detect a spirit within. in effect, I witnessed myself --dying right before my eyes. An experience I don't particularly want to repeat, but will not be forgotten. During the time I spent outside of my body I (tried to) speak to entities that revealed themselves to me. The entities I spoke with did not speak english or any language that I recognized as modern. I remember saying "I don't know what you are, but can we be friends?". It was so amazingly strange for myself, I usually can keep grounded even in the most intense of situations.
Summary:
It was absolutely amazing, but on the next adventure I will stick to the Shulgin recommended doses. Nearly doubling the highest recommended dose made for an extremely intense experience. Although more intense than those experiences included in Tihkal, it fits the description of effects down to the word.

Insights into side effects related to higher does:
During the beginning part of the experience no bruxism was noted where it usually occurs, but my body was clearly shaking (almost seizing level) from the new found energy that is common for me during high doses of any psychedelic substance. Heart rate was elevated more than I would have liked, but that is effectively normal in any dose.

It turns out my spirit form is a rabbit ... this would explain the higher sensitivity to spiritual experiences.
