Hello ThinkingBeing,

Welcome to the Nexus.  .  Great to have another person who graduated college decades ago here.  Seems like there's more and more of us all the time.

I enjoyed reading your introductory essay very much.  Sounds like your life may once again be opening up into a wonderful adventure.

Salvia, though very surprising and unique due to the dissociative/psychedelic effect, is in my opinion, a good introduction to what DMT might have to offer.  I only say that because it can offer a "breakthrough," a 3D, immersive/believable experience.

Though you are limited in where you can post as a new member, just log on and you can see the entire contents of all the forums.  This includes a rather rich cactii forum.  Also, the wiki link in the upper right hand corner of your Forum pages will show you extraction teks, including for cactus.

Again, a very warm welcome to you.
