Hey guys! Many thanks for the warm welcomes. I like it here already

Anthimus,

Great links, there is so much to go through. I had to look up the word pharmacognosy - how interesting! I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I expect I'll be spending some deal of time in the extraction section

SmoovPnCali,

Thanks for the advice regarding small scale test extractions, that makes a lot of sense. I wonder if the proportions should be scaled linearly? It appeared that some people had difficulty freeze participating with small test extractions. Could be totally unrelated, but I thought I'd ask.

Safe journeys to you as well! Hope to see you around.

Pandora,

Thank you for welcoming me to the Nexus. I am grateful for this truly wonderful resource, and the people who make it so.

I know experience will be nothing I can compare to. I am somewhat acquainted with it's trace effects after smoking from a pipe that had recently been used with the spice. It gave me a very clear, at peace feeling, similar to the feeling I get from a successful mushroom trip. I know this is nothing compared to a full hit, but still, it felt like a good sign.

I am delighted that you would look forward to following my adventure. That makes me all warm and fuzzy

I'll be sure to contribute my progress, along with many questions, to the site.

Thanks again all, for your welcoming words.

-love & light
