first of all hi to everyone in this forum, i like the idea to simply disallow new members to post in the regular forums before they wrote an introduction essay, this method will eliminate a lot of troublemakers :)

on the other hand now i am faced with the hard task to write an essay about myself and why i wanna be an active part of this community... but where should one start?!

born and raised in central europe i spent a rather unimpressive early life that consisted mainly of school (network- & computerengineering in the end) and trying to get laid.

never liked alcohol too much so when i got into recreational drugs around the age of 18 i knew i had a lot of experimenting ahead!

given my it background i am obsessed with numbers & statistics... so everything i did was protocolled and weighted accordingly

before i continue lets summarize a couple of substances i had the pleasures to do research with:

traditional: cannabis, mdma, amphetamines, cocaine, mushrooms, lsd, 2c-b, salvia, datura metel seeds,..
newschool: bk-mdma, 4-fmp, 4-mcc, 4-mec, 4-meo-pcp, methoxetamine, mdpv, 2c-c, 2c-d, 2c-e, 2c-p, etc. pp.

usually when i encoutner a new substance i read up as much as possible, try a µg bump to check for allergies and then slowly trying to find the right dosage... if i have a lot of a substance i always try some mixing with other substances...

the one "substance" i mix the most with by far is cannabis... as much as i love reading this forum up to now, there is a serious lack of information about cannabis! esp. when writing about combo intake, its very important to know what kind of weed you are smoking, esp. from a growing & genetics aspect... not only talking about indica/sativa here!

as i smoke every day for a couple of years now and grow my own (all bio!) i got to know an insanely lot about this beautiful plant and know my own strains & hash well enough to know when they would give what effect... the taste is god anyways, bio growing is the way to do it imo.

reading up on what i wrote so far one could think i'm a borderline junky but let me reassure you: i work 42-50h/week in a very stressfull it job, doing a good thing at it but having to smoke weed to not die of stress... all the speed/mdma kind of things i rarely consume, mainly at parties! hallucinogens i never consume on my own and only when everything is right set & settingwise (so not more than a handful of times a year) the only everyday-pattern i have is marihuana, tobacco & coffee... cant get rid of the latter 2 heh

before this essay gets to long and you guys know everything about me i will end this now and continue in the real forum (when/if i get unlocked)

mathematics is the language of nature!
 
Welcome to the Nexus!

I like your intro essay :)

I believe you have a good attitude, and seem like you have a reasonably safe relationship with drugs (I would quit them ciggs though, thats poison :p ). The 'allergy test' for new substances is indeed a prudent practice, way to go!

Ideally one should complement this practice with actual analysis, at least some colorimetric tests which aren't expensive (maybe this link can be of interest, also here there's some links to analysis organizations that may be near you), specially in the case of substances that you havent extracted yourself and that can possibly have been mislabelled, its very important to be careful.

By the way I couldnt help noticing that you didnt mention dmt at all in your essay. So what about it, ever came across it whether as freebase dmt/changa or aya/pharma? Since when are you interested (or are you not) ? What about extractions, any interest in that?
 
Hey kurekure! Great to have you here at the nexus! I love the fact that you grow your own weed. I used to have a cycle of grow on for a few years, but had some equipment stolen and decided to give it a rest for a while. When you say you grow "all bio", do you mean just pots and soil and not hydroponic flushing? I used to just throw my seeds in some good soil, under white fluorescents and then switch to a sodium lamp when the time was right. Loved the outcome.

When it comes to research chems, I all ways get a bit of a bad feeling. Not that i haven't tried a couple, but the whole industry just seems very money orientated with the vendors not caring what they sell, as long as they make a quick buck. At least you do allergy tests and are as careful as possible.

Hope to see you around, buddy :)
 
thanks for the nice responses so far :)

i barely use any drug checking to be honest cause i bulkbuy my chems... i always get to test it, see if it really is what i think it is and then buy as much as my budget allows... so i know i have the same quality substance for months to come... good example is the 2c-e in my fridge, scored 1g like 18months ago and still have like 0,8g left heh

of course it would be way better to check it in a lab, but sometimes lazyness wins :(

i would like to stop smoking cigarettes... i dont care much for the nicotine etc., but i just love to smoke... especially if i'm at work i just have to smoke something every 2h to not loose concentration heh, unfortunatly i havnt found a good alternative at all (smoking very light javaanse jongens tobacco, always handrolling small cigs with filtre, never more than 10 a day) but its a habbit i definitly wanna kick some day!

i'm actually admin at a local marijuana growing forum and was having a great night with one of the members (i know a couple irl) where we did 100mg mdma followed by a hit of ~150mics shiva blotter acid & smoking bowls of black domina & lsd (the marijuana strains, both known to have more "psychedelic" high to it)

after about 4-6h (if memories serves me well) he offered me some datura metel seeds... since i only heard the 200+ seed datura horrorstories i said "na man, i dont wanna wake up in jail in 3 days" he explained all about the newly found information about dosing very low in the 400mic range.

so i gave it a shot and did 5 seeds which mellowed everything down so nicely, made the colors more beautiful and stopped the stressy "jumping"

immediatly we were talking for (what felt like) hours about how important information really is and where he got to know about the use of datura to boost/mellow trips...

this is the part of the story where i was introduced to the dmt nexus as a credible source for drugs and generally a nice bunch of people to talk to!

oh my this text is getting way to long again...

just three more quaick responses, #1: i am definitly interested in dmt, but feel that there is still a lot to learn from other drugs, esp. lsd/shrooms/2c-* and that i should "grow" some more mentally before giving dmt a try, will definitly be reading a lot of dmt reports, extraction tutorials, etc. in the future here heh

#2: by all bio i mean only on soil with bio fertilizers (plagron terra grow/bloom & an final soltion) and without the addition of pk13/14 or any chem based plantcares! will definitly be writing a lot about weed here, esp. in combination with lsd, shrooms, 2c-*, mdma, bk-mdma, etc. pp. (i actually made lists about crosstesting several substances with specific strains of weed, can share those logs if wanted)

#3: yes the rc market in general is pretty shitty, i have 3 vendors in .eu i am trusting since years, they never disappointed and at least seem to be a little more concerned about the quality & purity of their products than most... asians... lol
 
Hey kurekure,

There are a few things I'd like to point out... First of all, we have some guidelines in this forum regarding not talking about sources of anything other than legal ethnobotanicals and unwatched safe chem supplies (such as solvents, etc).

Also, regarding RCs, it's been a sort of ongoing discussion about their presence in this forum, you can read about it here . The issue is that even if the same supplier has been generally trustable in the past, that is no guarantee there wont be one case of mislabelling which is enough to kill one, as what happened with that owner of a RC company who died (also linked in the thread I just mentioned).

As the reasons given in that thread, we are having an issue that the RC talk attracts a certain kind of attention/crowd that is less respectful, not taking so much care with integration, etc. And without the guarantee of safety since it comes from unregulated suppliers and most people dont test, then we have a potential liability for the Nexus. Like let's say someone dies after taking some RC that has been highly recommended in the Nexus, or from a mislabelled batch bought from same source as other people here.

You are an admin at a forum, so Im sure you are very well aware of how its hard to find the balance between freedom and guidelines/rules.. We neither want to forbid talk because there can be people that use these substances carefully and respectfully, and there is information to be gained.

You for example seem like one of the people that would take more care, that have a more thoughtful use (even though the 'lazyness' comment wasnt good imo, its your health you should value it). But plenty of others arent, and we have to try to measure when it happens.

So with all of these new people without propper attitude coming in, some older members started being very quick to quote that thread to stop RC discussions, and this generated others to feel unncessarily censored, etc

I think best is if we take it with a general good sense, and try to focus on the classic psychedelics we have subforums for (and weed for example), but not be absolutely strict. And make sure that if something is posted about these other substances, then it is relevant information, not just unconstructively bringing attention to it and/or lacking safety/respectful use awareness.

So if possible, can you try to talk mostly about the classic psychedelics in this forum, and if you do talk about other substances such as RC etc, can you please make sure it is a constructive post with good info to be added about the substance, and be very clear on the potential risks (the ones mentioned in that thread, with some changes still to be made) ?

and if you have any more ideas/suggestions about this or the forum in general, feel free :D
 
of course i understand the risk rc talk and rc's in general bring with it

we have a lot of trouble with the guidlines over at our forum, as its hard to balance it (and the nexus is way bigger, so i bet way harder to balance)

i wont be talking rc at all tbh, just wanted to mention it in my introduction essay, so you can get a general idea of who i am :)

expect mainly weedtalk from me and if neeeded of course IT talk heh

been recommended to the nexus over a week ago and have been readin up on rules guidlines etc. ever since to get a general feeling for the forum, actually tried to do my best in fitting the general writing style and not breaking any rules, hope i didnt fail hah

the only suggestions i'd have is to have a own sub-catory (like "OTHER ENTHEOGENS") for other psychoactives with an own marijuana sub in the section, as there are a million sides to it (especially botanically but also intake wise... i regularily smoke/eat/vapor/drink weed/hash from sativa/indica and the effects of each method couldnt be much more different heh, could fill books just talking about this subject - esp. with combinations of hallucinogens) but the nexus seems fine as it is! ;)
