Hello everyone, oviously I am a new member here but have been lurking and coming here for information for quite some time now. I am 22 years old and live in the States, specifically in Baltimore , Maryland. I am interested in all types of sciences and social studies including, but not limited to, Organic Chemistry, Astronomy, Physics, Pharmacology, Sociology, Philosophy, Photography, Psychology, and many other things that I would love to keep learning about. I am here specifically now to learn more about the D-Limonene extraction for cacti, it is swims first time doing that extraction due to the fact that he was not happy with the extraction using Sodium Hydroxide and Xylene, and then salting out with Citric Acid as the Mescaline was hard to precipitate from this mixture making it impssible to seperate the citric acid from the mescaline. Swim has also been doing DMT extractions for over 2 years on MHRB, doing mostly STB and then doing solvent washes and recrystalizations on some of the pulls, leaving others the yellow color because swim likes it sometimes. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you know that I will never be a pain around here, I am very respectful and courtious and will go out of my way to help others. I have memberships to other sites of this nature, I'm just surprised it's taken me this long to get mine here due to my extreme interest in the topics here. I would just like to start posting in other forums as soon as possible so swim can get some help with an extraction question. Thanks, and I hope to be questioning and answering questions for all that come here. 
Oh I also forgot to put my experience with substances. I have been experimenting with all types of natural, semi-synthetic, and fully synthetic chemicals since I was 13, that was with mary-jane, which I still use to this day. I started at 16 with ecstacy and then started doing drugs that don't expand the mind at all like Cocaine and Opiates of all sorts. If anybody lives in Baltimore you know what I'm talking about, dope is everywhere, and I gave into temptation, I I.V. cocaine and heroin everyday for over 4 years until I finally got sent to jail for a couple months and was facing 30 years in prison. Since it was my first charges I got off with 2 years probation and 10 years of back up time, along with mandatory treatment. That treatment led me to Methadone, which I have now been on for the last almost 3 years. I have been completely clean of all addictive substances, besides my methadone for over 2 years now and feel better than ever. In these last two years I have come back to hallucinogens, I always loved them but when I was doing the heavy drugs I could never really get anything out of them. Now I have experience with all types of tryptamines, phenethylamines, and dissociatives. My favorites as of now are 4-AcO-DMT, N,N-DMT, 2C-E, LSD, and Mescaline. Of course I do really like Mushrooms as they were my first psych ever used, but I find they have to be used in a very controled setting, on the kinda lines as with oral DMT. Anyway, thanks for taking time out to read my into. Take care.
