Intro, salut.

[Jowday]

Hello everyone,

I'm Jowday (or Judy), I have been exploring psychedelics for almost a decade, mainly LSD and psilocybin (though very sparingly in the past three/four years), and have only very recently found and seized the chance to take the plunge into DMT. I had an opportunity to use it once about five years ago, but felt scared and unprepared to dive so deep into the innards of psychedelia and my own emotions.

My first proper breakthrough was yesterday. I was overcome with happiness, beauty, sadness, awe, every emotion there is to experience save fear. I was surprised at how gentle and welcoming the experience has been, and feel boundlessly grateful and blessed to be here. I'm glad to make the acquaintance of like-minded people, and I'm hoping to take time to learn about extraction in hopes of maintaining a life-long relationship with something as beautiful as DMT, either for myself or those around me.

A bit about myself, I'm pursuing a masters degree in a nondescript social science (I value what little opsec I can practise notwithstanding my limited knowledge of online technology), and I'm deeply passionate about music and film. I do a bit of writing and photography on the side. I'm also working to become increasingly disconnected from the online world in favour of enriching my life with more valuable pursuits, but I figured it was worth joining this community for the purposes of learning more about extraction and other hyperspace-related business.

Cheerio.

Welcome, definitively look at doing your own extraction it's good to know what goes into doing it and lets you know what you've made is safe and unadulterated.

Hi @Jowday, welcome to the Nexus. Glad to have you here. I had seen you on the chat, don't be afraid to say hi there! People are quite welcoming, and always happy to have new users join.

I'm hoping to take time to learn about extraction in hopes of maintaining a life-long relationship with something as beautiful as DMT, either for myself or those around me.

Framing it as a relationship is a good perspective, I think. Indeed, the experience seems to evolve as one evolves too. And as any relationship, it can have its difficult moments and conflict. But it's well worth it.

Extracting may seem intimidating at first, but it's more or less as easy as baking a pie from scratch, only requiring more care and safety precautions when handling some materials. I recommend you take a look at the wiki and the resources section, pick a tek (STB teks are straightforward for beginners, e.g. Noman's tek) and, after studying it, you'll easily extract your own DMT.
