Welcome to the forum!

I too originally used mushrooms while with others and before trying them always envisioned dmt as being several steps beyond it.. but i learned that they're essentially oral dmt (psilocybin is 4-PO-DMT.. and psilocin is 4-HO-DMT) and after my first experience realized that i could explore the mind with that ally several lifetimes over in the comfort of my own bedroom and still be continually baffled

And as endless said; this ain't no kiddy pool! Some of the most deep and thought provoking threads spring up in this section of the forum quite often :d
