Hello Elegua,

Welcome to the Nexus.  Thanks for submitting an Intro Essay - I enjoyed reading it. 

Great to see another (for lack of a better term) experienced middle aged member join the fray.  More and more folks seem to be coming back to psychedelics after significant breaks to live, work, raise children, etc.

I had a good  reading about your youthful folly.  Reminded me of some male family members of mine, one of which is now missing a couple fingers.  Buncha pyros in their youth, :lol: .

But, yes, I agree, with age comes, well not necessarily wisdom, but more a willingness to take the time to do things right.  To read the directions three times slowly and carefully, to ask all questions before beginning, to never hesitate to reach out for help.  You can post extraction questions on the forum or drop into chat to try to get some quick answers. 

I suspect that if/when you choose to extract or brew at home that all will go well and that safety will be your first and primary focus.

Please take a good look around - this place is huge and packed with all kinds of resources.  It's great for information addicts, .

I hope to see you around and that you will become an active member here.

Again, welcome to the Nexus.
