Hi!

[goldenpath]

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi

A little about me...

I still have a lot to learn and experience, but regard myself as open and eager! I probably came to the party a little later than most people, and was in my mid 30's when i was first introduced to various substances (early 40's now). LSD has become my favourite over the years and really enjoy the state of mind it induces, the visuals and just the general warm, dancey, happiness as a whole! The downside for me though is the length of time needed for these experiences, and finding full days to explore my head are often few and far between... i distinctly remember when a friend introduced me to LSD saying "its a marathon, not a sprint"

I haven't tried DMT yet and its been on my radar for some time, but the opportunity never arose before now. I have my first journey planned with close friends in a few weeks (the earliest we were all free. Adulting is hard!) In preparation for that I've been spending time online looking at various resources and very keen to read about other peoples experiences, and hopefully share my own.

The tek side of things sounds really interesting as well. Watching a video online was how i stumbled across this site. I plan on seeing how things go next month and if Dimitri and I get along I may give it a try, but even if not I'm still enjoying finding out about it all!

I hope that covers the basics

Welcome to the Nexus, @goldenpath!

Better late than never, right? LSD is also my favorite substance. Apart from quite literally saving my life twice, it has enriched my experience of life to a degree that I would've considered impossible before I took it for the first time. Forever grateful.

It seems like you have quite an adventurous and curious mindset, and this will serve you very well around here, as there's plenty to experience and learn.

Glad to have you here, really. If you feel like it, stop by our live chat and say hi, I'm sure you'll find plenty of like-minded folks there.

Looking forward to hear about your first DMT experience!

Take care, and enjoy our community

goldenpath,

Welcome to the Nexus, . It is never too late to explore psychedelics and in a way you picked a good time of life. You are in your prime and all grown up and that can help keep these things in proper perspective.

I hope your DMT experience goes well. The key with DMT is letting go and utter surrender. Trust the drug, trust your body and let go of any/all concerns.

I look forward to reading more from you.

By the way, is your username an oblique reference to The Grateful Dead and The Golden Road?

Again, a warm welcome.

Hi @Nydex and @Pandora

Online communities can sometimes be a little daunting to approach, i really appreciate the warm welcome

@Nydex, I can resonate with your with comment about LSD having such a positive effect on life. Many moons ago i was taking Fluoxetine (aka Prozac for my American cousins, i'm in the UK ) after finally getting out of an abusive relationship. I came off that naturally when the time was right, but later down the line for me LSD has had such a relaxing and stabilizing influence, and i'll occasionally micro-dose when i feel the need.

@Pandora, my username is a reference to Leto II's Golden Path from the Dune series. I've never listened to The Grateful Dead though, i don't think they were quite as well known in the UK compared to US. I'll give them a go though, any particular album you'd recommend to start with?

Well hello there, fellow journeyer.

What are your thoughts on the oh so magical mushroom, eh? That's where I got my start back in the day.

You hit the nail on the head. I tend to have plenty of LSD, but haven't taken any in years, primarily because I don't feel like I have the time. It's a two day experience for me, as I need a whole day to recover.

Any other psychedelics on you bucket list of experiences? Any phenethylamines you think might tickle your fancy? I am personally a fan of MDMA and MDA in combination with 2-CB (roughly three hours after last MDMA or MDA dose). A pretty fantastic experience.

One love

Haha I should have known that as I am a HUGE Dune fan. I found the Golden Path to be fascinating. Not only the sheer depth of Leto II's sacrifice but the concept of taking such profound control of the most important resource in the galaxy that you alone can control it and create 10,000 years of stability by FORCING stagnation.

@Voidmatrix i've never had the opportunity to try mushrooms or 2-CB, i'd definitely give them a go though. MDMA has always been fun... although the very first time i tried it i was still on fluoxetine and it did absolutely nothing! It was a weird experience being stone cold sober but still not able to go to the bathroom! later tries though were much better, last time was summer last year at a festival.

@Old & Jaded i love the Dune series too and re-read them every few years, each time getting something new as i get older. I like the idea that "peace" is not the same reliable thing over and over again, but instead its about continuous change, development and improvement
