Thank you for the warm welcome it's very appreciated.

How has it affected me..where to begin. To me personally, cannabis promotes the free-thinking, open-minded state of mind that I thoroughly enjoy. It is unlike other psychedelics (in my understanding) as it is not simply an overload of sensation and information with a post-trip reintegration. But over time, daily use has taught me much about who I am, what I want to be, and many things about the world around me. I suppose one way to look at it is bending reality toward the psychedelic world, but still remainly firmly here. Of course every so often, preferably after a short tolerance break, large amounts of edibles can create a mild "trip" so to speak which is awesome in itself. Overall it just helps me to expand upon me if that makes sense.

And then mushrooms come in. It is hard to put into words the way it has affected me as it is on such a deep level. Feeling the essence of everything around me, showing how all is one and the same. Granting the ability to crawl into the deepest catacombs of my mind..and then open my eyes and enjoy the beautiful world that we are a part of..its quite lovely. I remember feeling like I was in on a secret that I just wish I could share with the entire human population.

Tip of the iceberg, and yes there is alot of useful links containing so much information on here. The extraction teks have already proven invaluable and that's because I haven't even attempted it yet!

Pleasure to meet you, and can't wait to meet all the other kind people on here.
