just an introduction

Well, I've been lurking now for a few days so I thought it was about time to introduce myself to the community.

I'm a male in my late 20s, but I first got interested in DMT when I was around 16 years old. I looked into an extraction back then but the process was much more complex then it is now, and the product never came out looking as clean. I figured when it was my time to try the spice it would find me.

I spent the next 10 years trying a lot of different substances. I've done more then my fair share of psychedelics -- from LSD to DPT to 5-MeO-DMT to psilocybin and and more then a dozen others. I never came across DMT though and it kind of faded from my mind.

My mother died a few years ago, and at the time she died I hadn't seen her in nearly a year. It put an incredible amount of stress on me, and I managed to pick up an addiction to both benzodiazepines and opiates. I did a lot of things I'm not proud of. I ended up moving across the country because I felt I couldn't stop using in the surroundings I was in.

Long story short, I ended up moving and kicking the habit. I went cold turkey, and had 2 seizures. I've managed to stay clean since then, almost a year now. I never fully integrated back into a social life, between the move to a new place and the kick I just didn't feel the need to be social again yet. My personality changed entirely.

I was going through some of my old things I had never unpacked, and came across Straussman's book, which I hadn't read in years. Suddenly DMT was back on my mind again.

I'm comfortable living without drugs for the most part, but I remembered how much I always wanted to try DMT. I realize I still have a lot of personal work to do, and I'd like to address a few issues with myself. Some of these things are my past addiction and how it has made me extremely introverted, my mothers death that I was medicating to avoid addressing, and my spirituality.

I spent pretty much the entirety of past week reading all the information I could about DMT. I've already acquired everything for the extraction, and I'm probably going to start this weekend. I'm not in a hurry, I've waited over a decade already :)

I realized with all the time I had spent reading this site, I should probably go ahead and introduce myself. I apologize that my writing is far from eloquent!

Not quite sure what else to say at the moment, so I will go ahead and end this for now.

Thanks for reading :)
 
Welcome to the NEXT-US!! Looks like you've found the right place. That's a tough one, addiction. Some here have lived through that and have gone on to a deepened understanding of themselves and their "spirit" through psychedelics. They are a wonderful tool, but by no means easy ones. Hope to hear more from you and glad you're aboard.

Cheers,

Welcome to the Nexus, aloneits. It's a huge step, discovering the need to make the move and actually doing it. Best of luck!
 
Welcome to the Nexus:)

Congratulations on quitting benzos and opiates-I can empathise with the opiate bit! The things we do to ourselves, eh!?

Good luck with your extraction and happy travels:wink:
 
Hey guys -- little update:

Did my first extraction today! I did a STB this time (saved 100g of bark for a Q21 to compare yields). Just threw the last pull in the freezer. I plan on doing a recrystallization with heptane within the next couple days and hopefully my first journey later this week!
 
Hey man, nice to meet yah! Sorry about the struggles.. a lot of that must have been very difficult. You can PM me if you need to talk about any of it. Safe Travels! : )
 
I ended up dosing a couple times and I didn't really enjoy it at all..

It was reminiscent of high dose mushrooms -- very standard "tryptaminey" imo

It had an unpleasant body load and after I tried it the first time I didn't really want to even do it again. I did try it a couple more times but I really dislike the body load. I was really glad it lasts as short as it does.

I'm going to try again this weekend and try to get a breakthrough. At sub breakthrough doses I am definitely not a fan though (I was dosing 50mg of heptane washed crystal..not low dose at all just not breaking through)

I actually found it almost dysphoric at times.
 
I had my first true DMT journey last night..

I'm still trying to put together all the implications in my head. I barely slept last night at all. That was not what I was expecting at all..

I'm not a very good writer at all but I'm going to try to put together a report..

Long story short though...It appears that I am the universe.
