Hey Everyone - I think I need to post an intro to get full membership as I can't seem to post replies in the experiences section...
I grew up smoking pot every day in my mid teens (I'm 23 now). Never touched anything else besides liquor occasionally and DXM. Which reminds me, whenever I ask people if they've heard of DMT - many usually say "Yeah man, done that like 10 times. That s*** in Robotussen!"
Anyways, had a bad viewpoint on psychedelics growing up. Very, very dangerous stuff. LSD kills lots of people, easy to overdose and definitely robs you of your spinal fluid. I remember my gym teacher in an alternative school showing a video of his old friend who's an ex drug addict - showed a video of him homeless, having a seizure on the ground - apparently going through an "LSD flashback". Thought it was the 80's and was dancing around in some club. So pinned the blame on LSD even though it was heroin or whatever he was on that ruined his life.
Then one day, I was watching The History Channel (best channel ever)and I think it was on 2012 Doomsday Prophecies. At one point, they started talking about Terence McKenna (my soon to be hero) and how him and Dennis McKenna could communicate telepathically while on DMT (pretty sure they were referring to Ayahausca)and that Terence came up with his Time Wave Zero theory that way as well. From that point on I was hooked. I read Strassman's DMT book. AMAZING. Probably have listened to every piece of McKenna audio there is. Read his Food of the Gods book, and few others on Psychedelics.
So now I have this complete fascination with psychedelics but have yet to have an experience. One day I will, just not ready yet for a number of reasons. I have 0 friends who would even consider talking about this with me. I feel very alone in that regard.
