Wow, that is quite an introduction! Thank you for taking the time to write all that out, it sounds like you've had your fair share of experiences.
I had never heard about people trying to smoke hydrangea leaves before, so that is an interesting little tidbit. I mean, I knew they were inedible. But for me personally, I don't think being poisoned would be worth the high. Thanks for sharing that warning. Harm reduction is important and one of the main functions of the Nexus itself.
Digging into that report, that's a wild ride! It has been a good minute since I've gone down the DMT path myself (been busy with other things and I tend to work more with mushrooms these days than anything else). But every once in a while I hear that calling. Maybe its time again? Who knows.
Anyway, it is nice to meet you. See you around the forum!
