Where to begin with this? I feel like I've lived so many lives already. Growing up in a medium-sized, low income, high crime city in the midwest; I did my best to stay out of trouble which I mostly succeeded in. I had a mostly good family experience, and dabbled with substances as an irresponsible teenager.
Fast-forward an awful lot of life experience into the future - and over a decade without any 'drugs' - and I was given the opportunity to be present with a best friends first experience with MDMA. I wanted to be there but was nervous about trying anything again. It was a beautiful experience, and vastly different than what I had experienced as a teenager. I suppose being a different person will do that to you. That was really the kick-start of my new exploration of self and consciousness. Since that time, I have become quite partial to psychedelics. I have a special bond with LSD in that my first experience with her was 500ug in silent darkness. I highly recommend it.
I'm still learning the ropes with the various levels of DMT and have not yet experienced a full break-through, but so far it has all been pleasant. Most people know me as being very stable, both mentally and emotionally. This is sometimes seen as indifference, but I try to express empathy whenever I can.
The biggest change for me has probably been letting go of my staunch atheism. I thought I had it all figured out. I thought I had all the answers. In spite of all that, I have learned to be much more spiritual these days. Not religious, but spiritual. The more I learn, the more I realize just how much I don't know. I'm looking to continue my journey of mind, body, and spirit with like-minded people around these parts. Hopefully adding substance to the conversations wherever I can.
