A warm welcome to the Nexus!
As the others have posted before, check the Wiki and the FAQ.
I think it is essential to find friends - Humans always used to live in Herds!
Find some folks who have experiences with mushrooms and enjoy a few (heavy) Shroom-Trips.
Read, learn, read some more and in between reading, find some good friends.
Learn to meditate - why not in a Group ?
Take small steps toward DMT. I take psychedelics since 25years, a lot LSD, Mushrooms and some
Exotic stuff. I still have a huge respect with psychedelics but when i am about to do DMT, i am still full of Angst
and without the perfect Set and Setting, i will cancel it and meditate. Psychedelics are NO Picnic !!
I wish that you'll find what you are looking for! Hyperspace will wait and will still be there for you when you
are ready!
