Hello (Introductory Essay)

[thebrownbandit]

I am 18 years old and was born and raised in the USA. Growing up in the south, I was raised in a semi-christian family. As years passed I realized that christianity was not for me. I've spent many years of my young life constantly searching for answers that keep me up to this day. Why am I here? Where is god? How big is the universe? It has to end, doesn't it? I share the belief system of Buddhism however, do not confine myself to any specific religion. I learned about dmt from a Joe Rogan during a podcast. Dmt simply amazes me, I haven't tried it yet but I've been doing constant research on it. I've read there's a possible extraction method using mimosa hostilis and some other chemicals such as lye but I'm not sure of the exact safety precautions so I'm a bit scared of making it right now. I've always been obsessed with dreams. Just thought concept of them baffles me. I used to meditate quite a bit and tried astral projection but to no avail. I have a generalized anxiety disorder and take 200 mg of generic Zoloft and I've never smoked weed, did shrooms, lsd, or even cigarettes. My decision to look into dmt is strictly based on a spiritual journey. I'm not 100% sure if dmt will interfere with the medicine I'm taking or what.That's all I can think of for now, if anybody has any answers/suggestions as to health/safety precautions with taking dmt, I would greatly appreciate it

Hey there.

Welcome to the forums. Your search for knowledge and understanding is a common theme among basically everyone here, but it sounds like you have quite a bit to educate yourself on first. Much of the answers you seek are found within not only these forums, but the Wiki site as well. I would suggest first by starting with the Attitudes page, followed by Health and Safety if you haven't already. They contain a lot of information and links to additional information that will likely answer many of the exact questions you're asking now.

As far as suggestions concerning your health, especially as it relates to your GAD and medication use, there are no qualified individuals on this forum who can legitimately advise you on what to and what not to do. Even medical doctors cannot diagnose or advise you over forums without face to face contact & examination & assessment. This is detailed more specifically in the Health and Safety section.

The journey to spice extraction and use is one that cannot be taken half-heartedly. Caution is of utmost importance. You really need to take the time to read, learn, and familiarize yourself with a plethora of subject matter concerning DMT.

I wish you the best from here on out
