Hello Nexians!

Hello DMT-Nexus! Long time lurker, first time poster. I would like to give my respect and gratitude to those responsible for the hard work and dedication needed to make this information available and most importantly, progressing. Most special thanks to the staff and those responsible for the endless physical efforts needed to obtain this precious data. I am honored and humbled to learn and share with this community.
I am a long time psychonaut with many years of experimentalism. I am 32 years old, Married with two beautiful boys. I live in central Florida and was raised in a family of farmers. This community has revived my love for these ancient and sacred entheogens. I am most excited about cultivation and propagation and potential for preservation, then modification.

I meant to post this in the welcome discussion. Here's my introduction essay.

Some time in the summer during the late 90's my curiosity coupled with AOL dial-up led me to Erowid, A site that would change my life forever. Living on a active nursery in the middle of no where, it didn't take long for my curiosity and new resources to turn into dangerous experimentation fueled mostly on getting high. Most of my early experiences were carried out alone and started with the easiest to obtain in my area, Brugmansia. Despite the obvious warnings, I ingested multiple flowers which led to one of the most disturbing experiences that landed me in a hospital. Despite the third person living nightmare of brugmansia I continued experimenting with morning-glory brew, salvia and even nutmeg. This ignorant experimentation soon turned into addiction and I spent the next few years self destructing on narcotics. Nine years ago the birth of my first child and the support of my wife gave me the clarity needed to realign my focus. A few years ago the rising popularity of MHRB and cryptocurrency brought me back full circle to experience DMT, only this time with an open mind not just trying to get high. My first three experiences were my last. It was prolific and still effects me everyday. Simply reflecting on the experience gives me peace and assurance.
Recently I have been researching the legal struggles and cultivation of tryptamine containing plants. Since I no longer have workspace for teks or extractions and I don't feel comfortable ordering any plant materials except seeds online, I have felt an urgency to procure and cultivate any and all species that can adapt to my climate. MHRB has brought a revolution but it has caught the attention of the DEA and has slowed the progression in focusing on a self sustaining resources for every continent. The work being done here on the nexus is groundbreaking and will play a role in human history and evolution.
I am currently compiling a list of species I would like to import into two categories. One is species that will acclimate here on their own, The other are ones that would require emulation of their native environment to survive. From my research I have concluded that Florida could sustain many known active plants but finding one for propagation could be difficult. The prairie bundleflower has my attention and Phalaris aquatica but many published articles claim otherwise. Hard to believe though, Some roadside ditches here in Florida have a dozen or more types of grass in a 6 meter area.
I will post my list and other ideas as soon as I can. I would love input on strain selection and ideas on the current and future legality of seeds, ordering of and cultivation of.

Welcome to the Nexus!

I´m happy to hear that you have found a better balance in your life regarding substance use Though the substances I experimented with early in life were different than yours, I can definitely relate.

Congrats on your kids btw !

Regarding plants and growing them, I highly suggest you join sharetheseeds.me , its a wonderful forum where people trade or give away seeds for free, of these plants we are interested in. Join with a different name than your Nexus nickname, though, for your own safety

Be well and best of luck!

Welcome! I am in the same region as you and would love to hear more for sure! I have grown Desmanthus Ill. successfully but not enough to use for an extraction, i was just testing them out anyway. I'm curious about what Acacia, and what Mimosa's could grow here.

Thank you for the reply endlessness, your contributions and hard work are humbling. I am looking into shartheseeds.me as we speak. I ended up ordering 50 m. hostillis and 50 a. cofusa via traditional eCommerce site. I hope to successfully germinate and catalog those two for a proper intro to sharetheseeds.me with some trading buffer.

@ Muskogee Herbman I have been on a few hiking trips recently, Now many species are flowering here and it makes identifying easier. I have no doubt that many active species grow here. Think about the guys 35 years ago messing with entheogens in FL. Most are lawyers or retired but I have personally been to the coops in Tallahassee and can only imagine some of the species imported here intentionally. I have no doubt seen the bundelfower in northern FL. There are so many gorgeous species here that resemble active species, good field notes are essential!
