Hello Nexus,
I have been here awhile, although silent. I am a seeker of knowledge and truth, and live with the belief of karma, although perhaps not exactly like karma. I believe we are indeed connected by forces which we cannot see and I intend to try to understand it. I also believe that quantum mechanics and these mechanisms may be correlated, although I have no official post secondary education to really back that up, it just seems to make sense.
Since I was a child, I could walk into a home and instantly tell if someone had been fighting, or if a happy event had just happened. I am very sensitive to other's moods, and I've always tried to understand how and why people think the way they do. I used to think it was normal to grow up thinking like this, however I realized as I grew into an adult that not everyone is so fascinated with the human mind, or social behaviours. This is also why I believe psychedelics have a calling for me.
My life was changed, for the better, when I was a young adult and had consumed 6 grams of dried psilocybin. This trip taught me one of the most important lessons of my life: Social constructions. During this dream like, intense state, many thoughts went through my head. Although I knew that what I had ingested was theoretically harmless, I still had fear and apprehension. The TV was on, and there was a person smoking a cigarette. Continuous thoughts started looping, and I was becoming harsh on myself for participating with "drugs" (even though in my normal state I had no problems with the idea of psychedelics, and was well aware of their positive uses) This experience made me realize how much of our experience can be influenced by others, and society in general. It a was a liberating experience that taught me the power of controlling my own reality.
This experience, and a few other encounters afterwards, gave me the courage and strength to move out of my family home. There is a tendency with my family having "failure to launch" issues, and I attribute my overcoming this problem solely to the perspective and knowledge I attained exploring conciousness with psilocybin. No psychedelics were ingested for many years after as I built the foundation of living on my own.
A request from my significant other at the time to acquire some 3,4-MDMA came by surprise, and without much expectation threw the word out to a couple of friends. This would be my reintroduction to this path, and this time I knew I wasn't going to get away from it. Although my relationship had ended with this woman, what she led me back to did not end.
I know this is an awfully long introduction, and funny enough I came into this thinking I had nothing to say. So to start wrapping things up, I would just like to note that I am moderately experienced with most psychoactive compounds on the serotonin side of the spectrum. I have good armchair knowledge of most psychoactive compounds and their basic receptor activity and actively avoid dopamine centred compounds. I successfully quit smoking tobacco in 2010 utilizing MDMA, as I realized by sheer accident sometime before that my withdrawl symptoms were non-existent for roughly 3 days after a session. After 10+ years of smoking I quit cold turkey with only 1 day of agony (roughly 4-5 days after quitting).
Now I am here. DMT has been something I've always known about, but for some bizarre reason I never looked heavily into it. This changed within the last month or two, and I cannot even explain why. All of the sudden I was beyond interested with it, and I had a rushing feeling to acquire it. Funny enough, shortly afterwards it seems the easiest method of obtaining this has been removed from society. Never have I felt like something has been calling me, and rushing me for such purpose. I get chills when I think that if I didn't do this when the calling told me to, it may of not happened at all.
Introduction is done. The nitty gritty: I've attempted within the last 2 weeks multiple times to have a breakthrough experience, mostly with a standard pipe and sandwhich method. A lot has been burnt and wasted, however there was certainly some successes inbetween, though not of the breakthrough variety.
I would like to introduce something I am attempting, and would of loved to post it in the Smoking section, however I realized I must post in here first. I am going to attempt to use a bong with an ash catcher bowl. The idea is to add the spice to the catcher at the bottom of the bowl, heat it so it melts and will not carry with my draw through the body, and attempt to smoke it that way. My theory is that the ash catcher bowl is deep enough that the flame from my lighter should never touch the spice, but give lots of a room for convection heat to build up (still lighting from the top, not the bottom).
Any ideas on this method would be greatly appreciated, and once again hello, and sorry if I rambled on. It seems it's either all or nothing with me haha!
