Hello Nexus, I am clouds and I am glad I have found this site. English is not my natural language, but I can read it pretty well.
I have been reading this forum as a guest for almost 6 months and with this account less than a week. I am amazed at how knowledgeable some people are here in matters like chemistry and philosophy in relation with psychoactive substances. I have experienced several other psychedelics like wild mushrooms in Oaxaca and Peyotl in San Luis Potosí which sparked my interest in psychoactive compounds, especially "psychedelic" ones. I now know that MHRB is what people call "tepescohuite" here in this country, which mostly is used for different purposes than extracting NN-DMT.
I have never smoked NN-DMT but I have the intent to perform an extraction some day, right now I don't really feel the "urge" to enter this kind of hyperspace but right now I am more like in the process of learning as much as I can from your experiences and some points of view.
Yes I know what McKenna and Strassman and Shulgin had to say about it in general terms, but I think its also very important (if not more) to hear what some experienced psychonauts have to say about it. I do know reading and experiencing are worlds apart, but I think learning as much as a I can from this special molecule is what I "should" do first, under the actual context, of course.
At this point I'm not really sure if "hyperspace" is a place that our spirit can visit or such a profound and intense hallucination that our mind can perceive as a place, but not really being a "place". Mushrooms and Peyotl have never taken me somewhere I could recognize as a "place". The implications of knowing the answer to this in scientific terms has, I think, very important social consequences. What do I mean?
I know our governments have forbidden us to search truth / pleasure / happiness / or whatever in psychoactive substances (I know it's kind of unfair, but I guess it a little more complex than it appears), but... if what NN-DMT is offering us is a "place" in physiological terms (including our spirit as part of our being, of course) then this is a real problem and it bothers me.
It's like if literally, it was prohibited to move from a place to another. From point A to point B. And from what I've read... it would be like if "space exploration" was illegal. Science hasn't recognized the "spirit" as part of our being yet, I think psychoactive substances like NN-DMT and some derivatives can help to change that. I do believe we have a spirit. I know someone could say "Who cares about science? I'm smoking this and it delivers the most amazing experience." but I think science is important because it can reach most of humanity, and I am the kind of person that thinks that truth should not be kept secret or underground.
Finally, I would like to congratulate the Nexus community for its initiative to start a hyperspace lexicon and trying to map this different spaces of reality that, I think, need to be looked at and in some way shared with humanity.
