Hi! I am glad to see a wonderful website here. One that is not a waste of time and has a majority of scientific and responsible people. I look at some various posts and my interest is peaking more and more!

I have interests in chemistry, botany, (maybe even biochemistry), and human biology. I plan on pursuing a botany related major, and at least furthuring my chemistry knowledge if I do not choose a chemistry related career. Anyway, I see myself having a botany research related career in the future.

My interest in entheogens and psychadelics is extreme. Basically, I cannot wait to grow some beautiful dmt crystals! As I have read from some of you, I am very sure I will enjoy the extraction process and creating a crystal product more than actually ingesting the substance. I cannot(but i really can) wait until I have the right conditions and circumstances and material to find out wlhat dmt will show me for the first time. I have experienced many mushroom trips, the largest amount being 4g of caps only, and my gosh that was amazingly visual. I even experienced ego loss with that shroom experience. Questioning who I was, my eyes watering for no reason. It was amazing and I handled it well. Other substances I have experienced:

-LSD(may have been and acid-like substance. Not sure. All i got was kaleidoscope visuals and there was a finding nemo dvd menu on that had a few stationary-when-sober bubbles. Well, when i started tripping, those bubbles were floating up the screen ever so naturally and looked so natural it looked like that was how the dvd was or should be. Based on those two things I think it was some actual acid, I could be wrong)
-Mushrooms(About 7 times.)
-DXM(1 time. Got to the stage where everything goes by frame by frame. It was very enjoyable.)
-Salvia(4 times. The first time i smoked it it was a 40x extract, ya know the purple sticky stuff, out of a wooden sherlock pipe. As I felt reality slipping away visually and mentally, my body was forced to the wall beside tohe bed i was sitting on. I then started having unusual visuals that were based on what i was looking at beside the tv stand. The main thing was this little statuette that included a red and white striped candy cane. Soon everything I could see was red and white striped and there was a large red and white striped candy cane sticking out of my red and white striped space. The strangest part of this was when this entity(i call it the candy cane entity) peeked out from behind the candy cane at me and walked to the side and it giggled kind of then disappeared back behind the candy cane. This was very intriguing, but all this may have originated from the statuette i was looking at.)

I look forward to hearing any input or questions about my experiences. And for sure I will let you all know how it goes once I am able to experience this DMT mysteryia!
 
Hi solidus65,

welcome to the nexus. Seen as you are interested in botany, perhaps you may also enjoy growing your own mushrooms. It involves some interesting techniques and gear if you really get into it, which can seem daunting at first, but reading your intro it would seem to me you would rather enjoy it. For me it was just as you expect your extracting to go: growing them was more rewarding and interesting than ingesting them in the end :p

The LSD experience you describe sounds like it might have been a very low dose. For me those are usually more frustrating than anything but I've heard many people find them enjoyable as well. I guess it depends on what you're after.

So... what is it that interests you concerning psychedelics? Do you have any specific areas - spiritual, psychological, evolution, ... - that you are drawn to with respect to entheogens?
 
Welcome, solidus65. It sounds like you have the right approach. Best of luck on this wacky voyage. Just treat every experience with the same respect you do the extraction process, and a whole new world will open up for you. It's an astounding and humbling gift.
 
Hello solidus65,

Welcome to the Nexus!

Thank you for taking the time to write up such a well-thought-out and thorough introduction essay. I enjoyed reading it very much.

Your salvia experience sounded crazy - typical for salvia. Though salvia and DMT don't have a lot in common one thing the do share is the ability to induce a full on breakthrough, 3D+, immersive/fully believable experience.

Please be sure to check the links in the upper right hand corner of your forum pages, including wiki, which has a plethora of invaluable extraction teks.

I hope you will enjoy your time here and again, offer a warm welcome.
 
I enjoyed ur salvia description. I personally have only messed with it a handful of times. Have you ever had a bad salvia trip? My first time was aweful and subsiquent trips were far from positive. Do u feel salvia has helped in your progression? To me it seems salvia takes me to help and sky to heven.
 
Sorry for the long silence, but I was very busy working and being with my 3 year old daughter. That's why this is a forum instead of a chat though, right? Haha

You are right. I will enjoy growing my own mushrooms. I have looked into it and I know I am capable of it. Just need to find the right time and place to do it, as with everything else! ;)
Nice to know what I tried may have been actual acid. I enjoyed it, but I'd rather go farther than just a semi-immersive experience.
I think what interests me concerning psychedelics chemicals is the variety of perceptual changes that the brain is capable of as well as purely the ability for these changes to happen. What do these perceptual changes actually mean? Is there just a small, or is there huge significance to these chemicals.. DMT, mushrooms, etc. I believe that these chemicals(the natural ones as well as synthetic ones) are in nature or naturally possible for a reason. I would like to know why these chemicals exist, as well as experience the ones that are safe to ingest. Do my own figuring out as well as ponder input and experiences from others. Just a very interesting topic with many different aspects, so I am very interested in experimenting/ learning. Spiritual - I am open minded. Pschological - Not sure. Evolution - I don't know what you mean exactly. Evolution is slow, but has to start somewhere. Maybe psychedelics can open doors that can lead to some kind of mental evolution.. who knows? Not me. Maybe Mental Revolution. Haha!

Never had a necessarily bad salvia trip. Closest I've come to that is feeling really uncomfortable and not being able to function in a group of people. Another time I was completely out of it, blacked out for about 20 min. while listening to The Mars Volta's Scabdates album. I came to and noticed how much of the cd had passed and I didn't remember a thing from the blackout. Not a bad experience though, apparently I had my eyes closed on the couch the whole time and I don't remember having any uncomfortable feeling from that experience, so I wouldn't quite consider that bad either.
Now that it has been mentioned, I do feel that Salvia has helped in my progression. One reason being that the completely reality ripping experiences have showed me some of what is possible. With those experiences combined with shroom experiences, and let us not forget that one acid experience, I have realized that I can handle such intense experiences. Another reason being that I now know believe the possibility of "entity" contact. I feel I am ready for just about any experience now. Since it has been long enough since my last major experience, 4g of shroom caps. It has been about 4 yrs, long time. Haha
I like that... if DMT can be "heaven", and I have experienced "hell," I am definitely ready to see "heaven!" HA


I'd like to thank you all for welcoming me! It is good to be here!

Hi Solidus,

with evolution I was referring to developing your self, so yes mental evolution. In developmental psychology a few psychologists have mapped out the different stages of our development from being an infant to being an adult. There are some advanced stages for example that not everyone reaches - stages beyond the rational stage for example. Trying to evolve ones own mind beyond the current stage and mode of thinking, is kind of what I was referring to, but actually I only threw in that word as one of many to give you some options to choose from :)

Looks like you got some nice exploring to do.

Some of the questions you pose probably don't have an answer - like "why do these substances exist". Or at least we will never know the answer. It's kind of like the question "why does the universe exist". But that shouldn'T stop you from learning as much as you can about it anyway.

be well!
 
Honestly my living circumstances don't permit my growing either. Same for extractions. I am eager to get a house of my own! It can and will happen eventually.
