Hello!
A little psychedelic background:
From 2002-2006 I was very heavily into smoking cannabis and found myself a moderate, but frequent user of psychedelic compounds. I have ingested MDMA in varying doses and combinations over 200/300 times during that period. I have used LSD approximately 25 times during that period (with one breakthrough/ego-death and several other high dose experiences). I have used Peyote three times when I lived in Monterrey, Mexico (in the Huastecan Desert) and have approximately 10 mushroom experiences, one of which was fairly profound and mystical in nature.
I have experiement numorous times with various other plants and chemicals excluding DMT and AMT and most of Shulgin's 2c's. As a result of my LSD breakthrough (which at the time I would have described as a nightmare experience), I experienced a decline in usage and frequency and found myself entirely turned off from entheogens in general. I quit using everything (including Caffeine) and spent the last four years of my life exploring other aspects of consensual reality.
Some personal background:
I grew up in 11 different countries, since my father is an executive for a massive MNC. I speak four languages and love all kinds of art and writing. I was born in Ohio of all places given my international background, but now find myself in Boston because of my job.
After high school, I quit using entheogens as I felt that they were detrimental in the way that I was using them, and I also needed some time to integrate many of my intense experiences. I went through college, met my soul mate (we are engaged and planning the wedding for 10/10/10
). I am a practitioner of Zazen meditation and have experienced mainly 12 hour retreats and casual, semi-regular practice. I became a Skydiver and BASE jumper with over 220 jumps in an 18 month period, mainly from various aircraft/balloons/helicopters and bridges in the USA. I did some coaching, did some traveling and exploring and also became a professional DJ/Producer (mainly Progressive and Tech-House). A lot of my MDMA experiences were in the context of the Mexican Rave scene and so I have a powerful connection to music this way.
After time off from entheogens, I am turning my attention back towards the psychotropic culture, specifically in the way of DMT. I have literally been searching for it since 2004 and am now realizing that I am ready to pursue my own extraction and first experience.
Sorry for the long personal essay, I'd simply like to give you my background as I am enthralled with this particular online community. I hadn't realized (especially during my time away from psychedelics) how vast the DMT community is. I am willing to tap the knowledge and resources you have and am reading all the Teks, doing the necessary research, etc. All I ask in return is your acceptance of me into the community and willingness to help out a n00b.
