If we put this thread aside, what would you wish to talk about?
Well for starters, I’m pretty sure Albert Hofmann wasn’t the first person the synthesise LSD and everything else I want to talk about that isn’t related to personal life or drug experiences should probably go in the tek section of this forum.
I’m by no means a professional and straight up admit I’ve only ever ended up with goo, but to be honest, I love the goo I got, it gave me what I needed and I’m constantly battling myself and others about why a Crystal is even necessary.
That first time I had my own goo and the knots in my back fence turned to eyes on a purple holographic background I was ecstatic to say the least.
My biggest hurdle is that I’ve always found it difficult to manage being openly and/or constructively interested and practicing without fear of legal consequence.
How is one supposed to comfortably speak and actualise their mind and true nature online or anywhere without genuine fear of legal consequence.
Since my first few experiences with LSD I knew, or felt, that my purpose in life was to make it, but at the same time understanding, what good is LSD that you have to break the law to make.
Also very curious about the whole thumbprint thing, you know the thumbprint thread on the shroomery, that’s been rolling around in my head for a very very long time.
This all started fairly early, the LSD and DMT just under 20 years ago, im 35 now, the first time I smoked a cone I must have been about 8 or 9, then things just ramped up from there, im able to remember a lot of it with surprising clarity.
Most of my life has been spent researching and experimenting with organic compounds and the affects and impacts it has had on society and culture in a singular and wholistic sense dating back to primates.
All the while managing to make it through school and be a high functioning member of society, which please do not mistake for bragging on my own behalf, but a statement to what someone can achieve despite an excessive obsession with psychedelics in a world where they are demonised.
Have just recently enquired with local university’s about chemistry bridging courses and organic chemistry courses which start the beginning of 2026 but I’m still unsure.
It feels like LSD will become a pharmaceutical at some point, maybe in our lives maybe not, but if it happens when I’m alive like I think it will, I’d love to have legitimate credentials to openly practice in the field.
The craft that is DMT extraction is a whole other world that I would love to talk about but once again, I’m not sure alternate pronouns like swim is enough to keep my mind at ease.
For 15+ years I’ve ran thousands of extractions in my mind, but not really ever in actual fact.
I research it, I picture it, I visualise it, I fantasise about it, I dream about it.
That aspect of attaining confidence to put pen to paper has somewhat escaped me far too often which is why I think I approached this from a literary and experiential angle.
I considered messaging Traveler and straight up asking “hey how does everyone get away with talking about this stuff?” but I thought I would cause less of a stir by quietly interjecting into an old resurrected thread, oh how wrong I was.
