Hey everyone. This Is a little insight into the person I am and what brought me to this forum.
My name is blank blankety. My address is also the same. I'm 18 years old looking to go to college come August to pursue my passion in the arts. I am a very spiritual person and have a pretty good grip on myself mentally and spiritually.
Up to this point in my life (despite my age) I've experienced a lot of things that have shaped me and opened my eyes to the world. Although I am in no way ignorant to the fact that I still have so much to learn.
My first experiences with drugs began very young, and in a really ignorant fashion.
I started off in about 9th grade experiencing with cough medicine, as it was a very apparent "trend" (for lack of a better word) in my school at the time...
Basically, from there on until my junior year of high school it progressed from DXM (cough syrups) to marijuana, heavy alcohol use, prescription abuse, LSD, LSA, psilocybin, salvia, prescriptions and MDMA.
This negligent behavior spiraled out of control, obviously, and eventually tore my relationship with my family apart.
It all came to a head and was addressed before I ended up in a treatment center about two years ago. I met a lot of people while I was there and learned a lot about self control and gained a great deal of understanding my mental flaws. I was clean for about six months after this until I gave into my temptation and got back into the MDMA scene. Well long story short, that ended in an overdose. This was about two years ago.
From that experience, I truly gained an understanding of the gravity of these chemicals I was putting into my body. Me and my family grew close and have been very close ever since.
I can't say I was completely sober after this OD, but that was the last time I used ecstasy and any drug of that nature.
A few months after this happened, I decided to take LSD one last time as it was my drug of choice above all others. This was the last time I took what you would consider "hard drugs", and I will be completely honest, it was a life changing experience.
This LSD trip took place on July 4th of 2010 (you can probably guess how fascinating that was) and since then, my outlook has completely changed for the better.
As of today, I am a huge marijuana advocate as I find that am one of the millions that benefit greatly overall from it. I've used salvia a number of times since then and came out of a few of those experiences a bit shaken.
Reading all of this you may think that my presence on this site could be that same irresponsible, negligent conscience of the stupid teenager I just previously described to you.
This is not the case. Lurking around this site for the past couple weeks with a growing curiosity about the age old ayahuasca tradition, history, and science behind it, I've come to associate myself a bit with this community.
With the initial impression I've been given, this seems like the first community that would understand the difference between a "drug problem" and a fascination with the mind and spirit through the use of DMT and other spiritually revealing drugs.
And if you're not already asleep, let me just talk a little bit about my present self. I consider myself to be an artist. I write, paint, draw, color, scribble, and make handprint turkeys from time to time. Except for the turkeys.
I've played the piano for about 11 years and the guitar for about 5. I love the outdoors and during the summer I mountain bike, hike, climb, and camp as much as possible. I practice martial arts, primarily the philosophies and teachings of Jeet Kune Do, and try to maintain body as well as mind in meditation when I can.
To wrap things up, I just want to say thanks to everybody's input and help throughout the threads. I'm planning my first aya journey within the next two weeks and have learned so much from everyone.
So thanks again.
(P.S. Anyone interested in checking out some of my art, send me a message and I'll be glad to give you a link!)
