Wade, you 'knew' that already but did you put it in practice? Did you take a break when this started getting too much in your mind as it advices there ?
Why do you say 'cult members', dont you think this sounds offensive? AFAIK there is no cult here, this is a community of diverse members with diverse opinions on it. Is it because people react to joebono's posts for example?
Well just think about it, this is the DMT-Nexus, thats what this community is dedicated to. There's many people here that have used and known others that have used these substances for many many years, with no ill effects. So when someone who has taken no care at all for integration and taking breaks, even though he was repeatedly warned and adviced about it, and then this person comes and starts saying that DMT is a bitch, addictive, and senseless, how do you suppose people will react?
Im not justifying anybody's response, but I think action-reaction is pretty clear here. Had he been more reasonable, self-reflective and had some tact, he would have made clear from the beginning (as he seemed to a little bit in other subsequent answers) that the problem with dmt is all about HIS relationship and not dmt itself, and people would have discussed the thread with him reasonably (as many did). But then when he starts calling ayahuasca users as addicts and what not, that is not only untrue but its very disrespectful. It goes to show how many rationalizing defenses we create for ourselves, projecting onto others what we unconsciously see in ourselves.
These substances are not to blame like a knife cannot be blamed for a person being stabbed. Look at who did it and what came before and it will all become much clearer.
I dont think that DMT is an easy-going substance with no risks whatsoever. In fact, just read all that health and safety section and you see how strongly we emphasize that taking it is not a light-hearted decision. If one does take it, he is implicitly signing a contract where he accepts all the consequences of his actions.
If one is using too often while not taking time with integration, is being too fanatical about it, and disregards all sorts of very important advices, then it seems pretty obvious to me its unsustainable and it will blow up at one point or another, just like it did with another member and just like it most likely will in the future again with those who dont take care. Blaming the substance after being the one misusing even when being pointed out in advance so often, is not fair nor realistic.
That being said, I wish joebono and you and all the others in difficulty the best. I think if you guys feel being obsessed about this subject, then maybe visiting this dmt-dedicated website constantly is not a good idea, maybe you should dedicate to other things in life for a while (months/years)..
Just like a big heartbreak when one is sure they will never get over it, it will happen with time that you'll get on with your life. Do consider visiting a health professional as that can help you dealing with the difficulties. And know that if there's anything we can do, we are here. But please, so you are also respected, do your part and have some respect for all members here and dont start calling people cult members, addicts and so on.
See you around....................
