First off, welcome!

And best advice (coming from someone that was in a similar boat to you, and similar age) is to read read readdd!

This forum is the biggest trove of information you'll ever come across to ANYTHING related dmt....and then some. On top of the superb wealth of information, this is a community of people that have walked the path for MANY years and know ALOT in regards to this substance/experience and then there's people much like you that are just beginning this path, so the comfort is there..to know many are in a similar spot to you. A truly amazing place...to say the least.

In regards to "why we're all obviously here"...the dmt "experience"....all I can say is..it's one of the most beautiful (and at times terrifyingly so), intense, eye opening experiences a human being can have in my opinion. As a vetted member of the forums once said..."I can not erase the things i've seen".....for the experience is truly that astounding. You "sign your name on the dotted line" so to speak". Sign away I say!....sign away.

We hope your stay is a long one! :thumb_up:
