Hey guys! Long time lurker, new to posting!

[Big Jon]

Hey guys,
I used to read some of the stuff on this website when I was a kid, but just didn’t have the ability to carry out any of the TEKs on here for obvious reasons.

I finally invested in some equipment and countless hours of research. I’ve been growing mushrooms for about a year, and about 6 months ago I pulled off my first DMT extraction using the Lazyman’s Tek. This past weekend I was able to get enough balls to heat the naptha and do a recrystallization. It turned out great!

Now, my next mission is to successfully pull of the CIELO Tek. I can only find fresh bridgessi cuttings or dried San Pedro/pachanoi (I want bridgessi). My question is, I haven’t really seen many teks on how to dry the cactus (do I peel off the skin or not, freeze it prior or not, etc) so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it!

I’m really looking forward to learning a lot on here and hopefully contributing to the info in this community. I am just looking to provide myself with good, quality medicine to assist me on my inner journey of healing and be able to spread knowledge through my own experiences!

Really excited for what’s to come in the near future

Big Jon,

What a cool introduction. Thank you so much for this. Growing up with the Nexus. Then sweet adulthood and growing and extracting your own. It truly was meant to be.

Well done younger brother. Give yourself a pat on the back. You deserve it. I do hope you will enjoy the beauty and insights that your products will no doubt deliver.

Welcome to formal membership, .

Thank you so much!

Yes, it has definitely been a journey in so many ways (many that I did not even list). It’s pretty incredible how many different roadblocks there are to psychedelic research. I work a lot better from having some personal experience to go on. For example, it was hard for me to get an idea of what lye was and what it is doing until I worked with it, so I couldn’t really picture what the tek is instructing until recently.
And now it’s on!

Welcome to the Nexus!

I've had the same experience, the first time it's very hard to picture it in your mind, and even photos aren't that helpful. But I suppose that now that you've done it once, you understand it much better and will likely never forget!
If chemistry class at school had involved this kind of practical work I think I wouldn't have forgotten everything so fast
