Thanks for the welcome. Regarding MAOI's, no I don't have much desire to use them. I have the ability to dive right in, as it were, and that is what I intend to do. My guide is a trusted fellow, and has considerable experience in the world beyond LSD and psilocin. I have never found a psychedelic experience even remotely disturbing or beyond my ability to handle, but then again, dimethyltryptamine is said to be another realm entirely. In either case, I have resources and expertise enough that I'm not concerned. Maybe I'm just arrogant or ignorant?
