Thanks for the welcome!

I have been considering psilocybin mushrooms before DMT to ease into psychedelics, and have been wondering if I'd be able to handle DMT with no prior experience. I've also heard LSD is softer than DMT, but from what I've heard, the experience lasts so long I doubt I'd be able to fit it into my schedule, but it may take me a while to even get my hands on any ingredients, soooo.  A friend of mine says he's tripped before with a few substances, so the next time I talk to him I'm going to see if we could hopefully trip together.

I've seen DMT: The Spirit Molecule as well as Stepping Into The Fire, both of which were very interesting. Do any of you guys know of any recommendable mushroom or LSD documentaries?

I've also lately taken a liking to psytrance music and the like, such as this and think it would be very nice to listen to while tripping, and at night as well.

The small number of studies done on psychedelics such as DMT also interest me, and I'd like to see more of them to know the exact processes the brain goes through while tripping, and whether what they say about the pineal gland and before- death experiences is true.
