I think you're taking this the wrong way parallel. Oftentimes caring comes in many different forms. The caring of a parent may be expressed as anger towards their child when they do something that puts them in a compromising situation. They're not angry because they don't love them. They're angry because they do love them, and want them to stay alive!

I for one did read your whole post. The two things that concerned me were that fact that you went out in public and used it and the fact that an unknown plant was smoked. You can say it was okay because it was four in the morning and there was no one around, but I feel like that's a risky situation to put yourself in. Smoking an unknown substance: risky.

We don't promote that sort of behavior around here. Bottom line. Is that elitist? I don't think so. This is a community and we have to think about it as a whole. We don't want negative public opinion. We have a responsibility as a community to promote safe use and mitigate any negative perceptions of DMT. I really don't see the argument here. We don't want to see anyone getting hurt and we don't want any heat brought onto this community.

No one is mad at you parallel. We just want you to come back from your journeys. Stop taking it so personally and move on. These are the rules of this forum. It is a voluntary community. If you don't agree with them then perhaps this isn't the place for you.

I do agree that perhaps some members were a little harsh in the manners they went about dealing with the situation, but like a concerned parent it's coming from a place of love.

I know that I'm new here but this community by and large is full of intelligent and helpful people, and I respect that and want to keep it that way. Respect is a two-way street.
