Hello everyone! After lurking and digging up old instructive posts on these forums for quite some time, I decided to finally join!
I was raised in a fairly open minded family and had my first "trip" around age 16, with a handful of morning glory seeds. Fighting through the nausea, I felt as though I had left my own body and I saw everything crystal clear. Connections were made between things I had never dreamed would be connected. That was probably one of the best experiences of my life, and changed me for the better. Since then, I found much more pleasure in music (I am a budding audiophile with a fair amount of equipment.) Interestingly enough, I found a taste for classically composed music that I had never had before because I finally appreciated the... complexity or musicality of it.
Since then, I have experimented with multiple substances in an attempts to procure a similar mindset. All of my attempts have fallen short however. I tried meditation with a nice relaxing cup of tea for a few hours up at my camp. While it was a lovely experience, I don't think I am ready to get back there using my mind alone. I tried marijuana, which I now use semi-recreationally on the weekends when going to shows hosted by local bands or strumming and singing with some of my friends. I tried HBWR seeds (I had a rough experience where I did not respect the seeds and "overdosed", taking 12, and had a horrible time.) I tried more morning glories from the same place, but nothing gets me to that same plateau where I felt as though I was melting into the universe.
Recently a close friend of mine opened my eyes to the wonders of DMT. We had a small quantity of impure (yellowed) crystals, roughly 50mg. We sprinkled them over b. caapi in a bubbler, held a lighter under the bowl and let them melt into the caapi. Despite the poor dosing method, the effects were profound. I saw rainbows surrounding the stars (we were outside, I like to be among nature) and had one of the most incredible body highs of my life. Naturally, I decided that I would order some MHRB and do a simple tek (I've been struggling with the q21q21 tek, having very low yields.) I also ordered 4 oz of fresh syrian rue seeds, hoping I might be able to make some... "pharmahusca" I believe it is called.
Anyway, I am happy to finally be a part of this excellent community!
