Right now, my parents do not know my desire to try DMT (they probably haven't even heard of it), they only know that I've smoked weed. That is one of the reason why my setting is not right for DMT yet, simply because I haven't anywhere to make the extractions possible, I may be able to gain permission at a friend's house to preform extractions, and then trying, but I have yet to bring it up to him, mostly because I need the funds to afford the supplies first.
I have thought about brewing ayahuasca, but I haven't done the research to know what the second plant which would contain the necessary MAOI could be, although, being a big fan of camping in general, I do like the idea of going on a camping trip with a few of my friends (whom also are psychedelically inclined) and making a brew.
As for my other psychedelic experiences, I have smoked a lot of weed in my day, I'm staying sober as of yet to get a job, but that's probably not what you're asking about. I have tried DXM quite a few times (using progressively stronger doses instead of starting with a huge dose), both alone and with weed. I have tried shrooms a few times, each time with progressively higher doses, and I haven't had a bad trip from them (yet). Basically a friend from college decided to purchase the spores one day (practically out of the blue), and then inoculated the jars and viola! Shrooms. That is actually the same friend that I am debating about asking permission to use their house to extract in.
And to go back to your comments about my history, yes, I do agree, I do not understand why some people out there don't want us to feel sad anymore, because without sadness, how will we fully understand what being happy is all about?
