Hello All

Migrated topic.

Just joined the site, and wanted to say Hi.

I stumbled across this website totally by chance, and it's a happy accident so far.

I intend to read as much as i possibly can, and will try not to ask 'stupid' questions, as i can appreciate how annoying that is, when the information is probably quite easy to find here already.

I have yet to have any kind of DMT experience, but i have dabbled with various other psychodelics during the course of my life, so while i'm a complete newbie where DMT is concerned, i have been around a bit.

I'm not a kid, i'm almost middle aged (depressing isn't it!) and feel it's time to experience more and expand my horizons somewhat.

I became interested in the subject of DMT and it's effects, after watching and being fascinated by a documentary entitled 'DMT - The spirit molecule'..i was spellbound, and knew then that i would be very interested in experiencing what the people featured in the film were experiencing.

Also surprising, was that many high level, professional people were claiming to use DMT for experimental conciousness expanding purposes..frankly, i hadn't expected that University Professors, high profile psychologists and Doctors had not only experimented with using DMT, but their claims of fantastic journey's and felt that what they were experiencing was not only taking place internally, within their minds, but also externally...as if in an alternate dimension!

This i find absolutely incredible, and wish to have similar experiences.

I will try to fit in, and learn without (hopefully) annoying you regulars too much.

Thanks.
 
Hiya Spikey!

Welcome to the nexus and thank you for writing an introduction!

There are plenty of middle-aged people around the nexus. The Nexus is a very diverse group of people, from young to old, chemists to artists, Africans to Dutch, and almost everything in between. And usually people are very willing to help newcomers who show a maturity in their writing and thoughts.

As far as questions go, don't worry too much about annoying the regulars. But definitely read the FAQ and hop over to the WIKI. Both are chalk full of wonderful information. There's so much information that initially it can be difficult to connect the dots but just keep reading and clicking on different threads, eventually things will start to make more sense.

Also, if you get stuck looking for something, often times its easier to use Google as the search engine for the nexus. For example, if you're looking for information about tetrohydroharmine, type "dmt nexus tetrohydroharmine" into Google and browse the threads that pop up.

Another fun place to start reading would be clicking on links in people's signatures (especially moderators who have a golden shield symbol by their picture). There are some fun links in my signature below.

Again, welcome and I look forward to seeing ya around!

Love and light,
Wearepeople
 
Thanks for that wearepeople!

I expect i will be going cross-eyed with all the reading i intend to do, but i won't be afraid to ask questions.

Good tip with the Google search method, thanks.

Cheers.
 
Yes, some people believe that DMT actually transports them to another dimension. But many people have been believing nonsense for thousands of years. In reality, DMT is a hallucinogen. It causes your brain to act differently than normal. It is not a multi-dimensional transport vehicle. It doesn't give you telepathy, or allow you to fly or give you magic powers of any kind.

I drink vodka, but I don't theorize that it causes the world to shake or increases tectonic activity. It just makes my equilibrium poor.

Welcome.
I wasn't impressed with the film: spirit molecule.
Would you be so kind as to share your entheogenic experiences?
@Jonnexus - I don't agree. I see by your use of the word 'hallucinogen' what your view might be on these sacred substances. I tend to agree rather with those that feel the spirit molecule space is a dimension that may be able to be mapped. Some ayahuasca shamans say they have a long-standing relationship with the plant and follow in the hyperspace paths of those in certain lineages that have gone before. In the west and rather dealing with the extract, the approach is sort of similar, with a modern ceremony ideally sanctified by intention, an experienced sitter + ethical sacrament extraction. Peace.
 
Hello spikey,

Welcome to the Nexus. What a great Introduction Essay - thank you so much for sharing.

More and more of us middle aged "re-entry students" (to psychedelia) are showing up here. It makes me feel very good. You are going to be pleasantly surprised (I predict) for how DMT can wake one up out of a midlife crisis. It sure did for me, 😁 .

I would highly recommend you read Dr. Strassman's book "DMT The Spirit Molecule," as it is MUCH better than the movie (typical). It has the subjects and experiences but also a fascinating progression of how he gets his research authorized. And then in the end things go a bit Leary-esque. Highly recommended.

I love your attitude towards reading and research but don't be afraid to ask questions as they come up. You can post them in the open area, first time extractions or even jump into chat for some quick answers.

Great to see you here and I hope you become an active members. A very warm welcome to you, :)

Spikey,

Are you looking to extract?
Do you have friends with experience with dmt?

Just curious,

Ultimately, i (or should i say 'swim'?) will want to try an extraction, going by what little i've learnt already, i'm leaning towards a STB type of tek, with freezer precip.

Frankly, i don't like nor trust 'dealers', so i have tended to avoid them as far as possible when 'experimenting' and such, so extracting will be the only method available to me...once i get through reading all the literature here!

I don't personally know anyone who has tried or regularly uses DMT...i'm a family man (and relatively financially poor too), so i don't go to pubs and clubs etc., so rarely have the opportunity to mix with like-minded people, except online of course.

I don't expect to be jumping in feet first, at least not anytime soon...there's just so much to learn and digest...then there's the legality issues to contemplate and weigh, so i feel i will be grounded for the forseeable future...but i'm certain that at some point, not too far off i hope, i will experience what you all have.

I'm especially interested (in a pseudo-scientific kind of way) in common experiences shared by those that manage 'a breakthrough'...it would be pretty far out, if our conciousness was actually travelling ( as opposed to our simply imagining it had) to an alternate dimension / reality, and making contact with beings that reside there..for want of a better term.

But..all in good time i suppose!

Cheers.
 
All in good time indeed... if you intend to add the experience to your path, eventually you'll make it happen. I waited for quite a long time, and in many aspects, I keep on working and waiting, watching the flow attentively. We all do.

Just don't let that keep you from questioning and sharing ideas and experiences, whether they are related to psychedelic experiences or not. You got a nice attitude and that's the hardest thing to get if you don't have it already.

Welcome to the Nexus.
 
@Jonnexus.

Hi Jonnexus, thank you for your post.

I'm not sure i share the same thoughts as you do regarding what people tend to experience..i don't have enough information to firmly believe one thing over another...yet. Hopefully, i will add my experiences to the record at some point, and i'll have a better understanding of what may or may not be happening while affected by DMT.

But if i indulge myself, i can imagine that something else, something in addition to the purely physical responses of our bodies to the effects of DMT (or LSD, Mescalin etc.), i'm not sure what yet, but i'd like to find out.

BTW..Vodka has that effect on me too. ;)

Cheers.
 
Hi ObsidianKnife,

Thanks for the welcome.

My experiences to this point are fairly limited frankly, with DMT being zero, but firmly on my 'will certainly be trying that at some point' list.

Years ago, i dabbled with LSD, this was back in the 80's but i remember that i liked the experiences a lot.

Cannabis had featured quite frequently, with it being more of a relaxant and insomnia cure for me more than anything else.

But that's about it...not really a psychonaut!

Cheers.
 
Hi Pandora, Thanks for the welcome! Very nice of you.

I will make a point of reading that book, i agree that books often are better than films on a subject.

Thanks again.

Thank you Vodsel, that's nice of you. You come across well too!:d

Thanks for the very nice welcome, all of you. You seem like a highly happy bunch (intended, sorry).

Cheers.
