Who is this strange little rodent who has crept onto the Nexus during the night? I recognise some names and avatars from other forums, so I guess some of you might know me already, but for everyone else…
I am...
...a scientist
...a cynic
...a recluse
I have...
...a fascination with altered states of all kinds
...a background in pharmacology
...an interest in harm minimisation, especially in the areas of accurate drug information, researching drug interactions, and identifying wild fungi.
As for why I chose this place, rather than another drug forum? Well the answer is in two parts, the first quite simple: I like the Nexus, I like it a lot. I was especially impressed by the emphasis on quality over quantity. I like the structure which allows all members to participate in their own way. I like the amount of science being done! I like what is being built here and I want to be a part of it and help if I can.
And the second part, well it seems big and complicated to me because it's personal, but I guess it's really just as simple: this is where my path has led me. A combination of chance & choice has resulted in me being interested in aya at this time, and deciding to come here to discuss it, and learn more. I've had many good experiences using psychedelics therapeutically, and am interested in aya in this context. I am ill, and feel myself falling into quite a dark place at the moment. In the past when this has happened I've found it useful to have a good hard look inside my brain to see what's going on, but I'm finding this difficult right now - I think a catalyst is called for. I have heard that some people call the DMT-containing component of ayahuasca "the light". I think I could use a little light in my life…
…a harsh spotlight on my flaws
…a sparkle in my eye
…a light to guide my way…
