Hello! I've been a member on here for some time now. I've spent countless, countless hours reading thru here as well as a few other sites (though this has far surpassed every other one combined in terms of quality content from A to Z) and learning about the intricacies of DMT, from the scientific end to the psychological end to the spiritual end. I was first turned on to the concept of DMT after doing some reading on the pineal gland for one of my psych classes; reading one article briefly mentioned DMT, I did some further reading and everything simply snowballed from there and Ive been fascinated ever since.
I literally have zero background with any other forms of hallucinogenics/psychedelics or any other form of drugs for that matter, hell I don't even drink alcohol and I don't even like taking advil for head aches. But DMT is different as we all know. Ive always been the kind of person to be pretty blunt with what something is, and while DMT is technically considered a "drug", I don't think it should be regarded as such. Ive always said that drug use is ignorant because so many use it as a means to escape reality because theyre trying to run from something that they simply should get figured out WITHOUT using drugs (or alcohol). Face reality head on rather than hide/mask the bad. But, DMT seems to me as though it opens a door to a truer reality or a sort of super-reality. A reality that lies beyond what we simply wake up and see every day. It is a natural tool, and depending on the user, that tool can be put to use.
I have let a couple of my closest friends in on the concept of DMT and the say it sounds amazing...but they simply dont get it. I personally have yet to experience DMT. They say...dude, why not just smoke weed? I say, because Im not trying to giggle and get the munchies. The point is NOT to get high. Despite my total lack of experience as to what weed can do, I feel the point of DMT is to explore and travel somewhere that weed could never even take you in a billion years (to my understanding). We're talking the difference between bunting a single to get on first base versus hitting a grand slam literally out of this world. And I dont like baseball, but thats at least an easy way to relate the way I see the two.
Anyway, that's my story, and I look forward to continuing my stay here for some great information. As I said, I am a TOTAL 100% noob to this realm and never in a million years did I ever think Id have an interest in something like this even with my love for psychology and cognition/perception, so some questions will certainly seem elementary, but with all the reading Ive done I feel like Im leaps and bounds more in the loop than I was a few months back.
