Hello geniedog,

Welcome to the Nexus.  Thank you so much for taking time to write and submit an Introduction Essay.  I enjoyed reading that.

I wish I could give you advice regarding acacia, but I'm sure it will be coming.  As a matter of fact I already see more links as well as the great advice to start by doing a small, test extraction.  In case anything goes wrong you'll be able to try again.

I believe if you are successful in extracting and smoking/vaping DMT you are going to be in for quite a surprise.  And yeah, it has definite ego loosening to shattering tendencies.  I found my 7 gram P. Cubenis trip to be somewhat like a low to medium dose DMT experience in it's characteristics and intensity. 

Please take a good look around.  I do hope you will become an active member of this community.  I would look forward to kind of following your adventure, through first extraction to experience to potential breakthrough.

Again, welcome to the Nexus.
