My humble entrance - and a THANK YOU!

[Metatronology]

Hello friends,

At least, I consider you all to be friends in my heretofore parasocial relationship that I've developed with all of you over the last six months while learning all about the different teks and aspects of the spice. I'll be trying my first extraction this week, and am so grateful to all of you for your incredible support and generosity of spirit. THANK YOU!!!

I've never tried the spice myself, but I find myself drawn to it. Over the last year, I've entered into sacred spaces with various plant medicines, most recently Grandmother Aya, but have been constantly drawn to the extraction and consecration of spice. The utilization of plant medicines has helped me considerably, breaking my addiction to alcohol and has helped me to eat better and take better care of myself and my family.

By all accounts, I'm a well-put-together middle-aged family man that has a strong psychonautic streak. Every time I've entered a sacred space and come out the other side, I've come out for the better and have usually improved some aspect of my life.

My intention is to understand myself more, become more connected to those around me, and love my family and my community more deeply. I look forward to chronicling my journey here.

Metatronology,

That was a beautiful introduction and I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is indeed a very special found family. And I'm glad you decided to formally introduce yourself after a long period of research.

I'm excited that you are going to embark upon your first extraction and sincerely hope you will keep us updated.

I warmly welcome you.

Thank you for the excellent welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can learn (and contribute) here. I'm also a lawyer that knows quite a bit about scheduled substances and the laws around them, so if anyone has any specific questions I may be able to help out.

Oh wow, that is good to know. We have doctors, chemists, physicists and other scientists here but it is wonderful to have a member who is knowledgeable about the letter of the law.

Lovely to have you here - thanks for the wonderful introduction. Your perspective will, one hopes, make a valuable addition to the forum. I'll leave it at that for now, since I could go on and on about the interface between chemistry and all aspects of society
