A decade later, back where it all began

[swimmk]

Hello everyone,

I don't know if anyone here remembers me.. I first posted in March 2016 with a thread called "Asking for permission to enter the nexus."
I was pretty new to all of this back then, had only tried cannabis, and was here mostly to read and learn.

A lot has happened since.

In 2018 I had the chance to experience 5-MeO-DMT with a facilitator in a safe setting. I wrote a detailed report about it here on the Nexus. Those sessions remain a reference point for me.. they changed something that hasn't gone back. I also sat with psilocybin mushrooms in a traditional context around that time, which taught me a lot about letting go.

Since then I've continued exploring quietly.. microdosing, cannabis, reading, integrating. Life moved on, work kept going, but the pull never really went away.

Now I find myself back here. I've been lurking again, reading threads on the new forum.. impressed the community is still alive and well.

I'd like to re-engage. Some things on my mind lately:
- Harmalas and their interaction with DMT.. pharmahuasca has caught my attention
- How extraction knowledge has evolved since I was last around
- Hearing from others who took long breaks from psychedelics and what the return felt like

Not in a rush. Just glad to be here again.

It’s really lovely that you decided to come back, and it’s wonderful to see that the little flame has apparently kept burning all this time. I think many of us here go through periods where we get temporarily swept up by other things in life, or where the need for this place fades for a while.

We have quite a few members who simply return again after some time. So I’m truly glad that you made the decision to join in again and be part of the Nexus.

A very warm welcome back to you, and I wish you a really good time here.

Take care

swimmk,

Welcome back home!

Funny how one can grow and change, one can grow too old for DMT use to be safe, one can become swamped with real world responsibilities, . . . and yet, one really never outgrows DMT.

I hope you will choose to extract and dive back into the tryptamine seas again. Regardless, welcome back.
