My Journey up until now. (A humble introduction)

Migrated topic.

Hello everyone.

This is not my first visit to the nexus although this is the first forum which I have ever made a registration for. I wasn't sure what to write about so I guess writing about myself would be my best bet.

I am a 19 year old British university student (living roughly 60 miles South-East of London), currently between first year and second year which I will get on to later. In the past 2-3 years or so have seen my self develop as a person faster than I have for my entire life. In 2010 I began my sixth-form course; at this stage in my life I had been struggling with my relationship with cannabis as well as other drugs, I had also been struggling living with my parents and most of all myself.

New Years 2010, I experienced my first life affirming experience, our plan was to go to an illegal psychedelic trance party in London unfortunately this had been shut down by the police an hour before the location would have been revealed. Our new plan was to attend another party, one which we all knew would have less positive vibes, on a train to the destination we deceided to ingest some liberty cap psilocybin mushrooms so to enter the new year with a boom.

Somewhere on the walk to the building a friend of mine needed to urinate so a few of us went to find a toilet, after this the rest of our group of friends had left. At this point I started to feel a very elated feeling, as I walked it seemed to me like I was floating almost, it was a very positive, care-free feeling unfortunately my friends were becoming anxious as we were in an unknown, dangerous area. We took a moment to call the rest of our friends near a Tesco car park at which point a group of shady looking people (maybe like 10 of them) approached us asking where the party was. In reply I said something along the lines of 'we have no earthly idea', one of them beside me all of a sudden launched his fist against my head; stumbling across the pavement I huge surge of euphoria struck me and he said something like 'Gimmie your iPhone, blud'. My friend shook me and I saw a sense of urgency on her face, he said 'Show me your phone', so I showed him my Nokia 103 after which we managed to escape with only a few bruises. One of my friends got punched in the face and his nose was bleeding, the friend who shook me had her iPod stolen, I found the whole experience incredibly funny and could not stop laughing. We then decided to get a taxi back home, during this car journey I was witness to the best light show [seen through a windscreen] of my life.

The night was a deeply important turning point of my life, I saw drugs in a whole new way; there was this image which came along with the word 'drugs' which I associated with laziness, hedonism and addiction. I now see drugs in my the same way as I see food and in turn this view point initiated a change in my diet and my consumption of drugs (avoiding synthetic drugs with the infrequent exception of lsd and amphetamine). Life appeared to represent itself in a much more non-linear way, I felt open and loving with a new sense of empowerment and courage, I was ready to face the rest of my life head on. I apologize for this description as I cannot appropriately articulate how I had been affected by all this.

The following year I discovered my interest in the written language after reading a poem by Allen Ginsberg, my skills and inspiration grew as developed a taste for Kerouac, Lovecraft, Shakespeare and Coetzee. I also began reading books by Terrence McKenna; The Invisible Landscape, Food of the Gods and True Hallucinations. My relationship with my parents grew, they understood that a change in myself had occurred and I now realise that they have been nothing but nurturing and given me love for the whole of my life.

At a party I met a girl who I now love, it was at a party where we found out that we both have the same birthday; coincidence or not we stayed in contact and became very comfortable with each other. One night we decided to both take a dosage of LSD, we spent the whole night awake having sex, neither of us had an orgasm; instead the whole thing was like a 10 hour orgasm. This was the most intimate, loving night of my life; that night we were 2 people combined, we are together to this day.

I am sharing these experiences with you because I feel comfortable doing so. I hope that I can be an important part of this special community and I hope that much of you can impart some of your wisdom and knowledge.

Now my experiences with DMT are small in number, it was introduced to me through a good friend of mine only a month or two ago. I had heard alot about the chemical as many of my friends have done it; I was initially apprehensive to trying it as a number of my friends who have tried have had negative experiences. After doing a bit of research I became increasingly interested in trying it, although I do not yet know the extent of power which DMT has but I do understand it is something to be appreciated on another level to other drugs. I hope to utilise this spice to explore other states of consciousness in appropriate environments and circumstances and to enhance my life and creativity.

Thanks to everyone for reading, really it means alot to me. 😁 Much love!
 
Great post! Great story! Huge regret you came across a gang with a love for your phones and ipod. Truth be told I am as new as you...this being my second "reply". Love the love story in your post but overall you confirm to me that this substance is for the 'intellegenisa' as opposed to your common Tesco-car-park-based phone thieves. I am new to DMT too. 3 months. I attach my avatar image and hope it gives you (at least) a chuckle...

Thanks for your warm welcome Substance. It probably would have been a completely different version of the story if I hadn't taken the mushrooms haha :p
 
Hello conformia,

Welcome to the Nexus. I respect that you do not sign up for forum memberships and have to say I endorse your choice. In my opinion, this is the ONE forum (if one had to choose one) worth signing up for on the entire web.

I found your introduction to be fascinating and want to applaud you for being willing to share that story with us. But, I have to say it opened up a couple concerns for me.

First and foremost, I must respectfully request that you go back and edit the 3rd paragraph of your first post to remove the reference to drug commerce. You may not have had time to read the Attitude here yet or perhaps you scanned it but we just do not discuss drug commerce here of any kind. Attitude Page - DMT-Nexus Wiki

Second, regarding your first psychedelic experience. I completely respect that you feel it changed your life and that all you experienced from the evening was amazing euphoria. But, I found your story worrisome. Your safety as well as the safety of the young lady with you was in danger. This shows very little attention to setting in my opinion. I'm so glad it didn't end any worse than it did. Euphoria is one of the first effects I notice from a decent shroom dose and things usually get interesting from then on, including weird thoughts and contextually inappropriate actions, thus typically I keep my stronger shroom tripping to my bedroom.

I found your psychedelic love story to be wonderful. Speaking as a woman who will celebrate 25 years with her man this year and who met said man at a Grateful Dead show when he (among other things) dosed her, it really made me smile. I wish you nothing but longterm happiness.

Salvia is really not like anything else. It is very psychedelic but also a strong dissociative and I have noticed that even among psychonauts, dissociatives are not for everyone. Also, salvia has a unique and literally pushy/sweaty body load that asks a lot of me as a user.

DMT, as I suspect you have discovered, also offers a 3D, immersive, convincing "breakthrough" that can be a complete transposition in space and time. But, in my experience, it's Euclidian geometry as well as color palatte are much more delightful than that which salvia uses.

It sounds to me like you are ready to extract your own. Many successful extractions are now being done with various acacia species here and the wiki has bunches of teks for extractions from entheogenic plants. I cannot endorse enough growing and extracting one's own whenever possible with entheogenic substances. It's win win, not only in checking out of commerce but also in terms of safety - you know who the chemist is, :).

Well, I have ranted enough. Great to have you here. Again, welcome to the Nexus.
 
Thanks for reading Pandora!

Thank you also for informing me about the attitude page which I have now read. I understand your concern and I completely agree that this was the least appropriate way to experience psilocybin regarding the set and setting, this was while ago and I have had numerous interactions with mushrooms since then and I by no means deem this sort of conduct appropriate. Now I can't take them inside, it just doesn't feel right; I have to be outside camping or at a festival or preferably out in the wilderness (I'm sure however that the wildernesses found in the UK are nothing in comparison to those in the US)

I am eager to begin an extraction of my own however I am currently in a transition process, between fixed abodes but I hope to get up and running as soon as I can. The friend who introduced me to DMT showed me the extraction process, it was rather simple from looking at some of the teks on this site I think it was an stb method. It was alot of fun and very rewarding in the morning seeing that glass dish covered in crystals :d

Also The Grateful Dead are one of my favorite bands :) Thank you for making me feel welcome here.
