Hey all whom might be reading this,
I thought I'd make an introductory thread and give some general information about myself and my avid interest in entheogens and psychedelia.
I came across this forum quite awhile ago in my search for information on dimethyltryptamine and decided today that I should create an account so I can interact with others who share a similar love and respect for this substance. Psychedelics interest me in a profound way and I enjoy reading the writings of Rick Strassman, Aldous Huxley, Terrance McKenna and Alexander Shulgin. I frequent erowid.org and in my spare time read and watch pretty much anything on psychoactive substances- chemistry, neuro-scientific articles, experience reports, different extraction methods, documentaries, ritual use in Indigenous cultures, philosophy etc.
I have only so far experimented with DMT 5 times, though they have all had a tremendous impact upon my life. I feel as though it has made me appreciate beauty in the world around me in a unique way and I feel a lot happier in general. I find DMT unique not only due to the experiences I have had with it but as the visual, auditory and sensory effects ebb away I am left with such a pure feeling of bliss. I smile, I laugh and giggle and just feel so complete. But by contrast with other psychoactive substances that I have had a problem with taking responsibly or in a frequency that is right for me personally in the past- with DMT I feel I am doing it for the right reasons in a way that for me personally is having a positive effect on not only my life but my psychological well-being.
The last time I smoked it, out in a lush australian bush setting, I saw a Chinese Dragon for a very brief flash before it morphed back into red swirling geometric smoke. I thought this was a very good omen as I'm a dragon under my Chinese horoscope sign (born in 1988) and I am fairly superstitious in terms of good and bad signs. I have seen a lot of fractal patterns, dancing curtains, heard vibrations and felt like I have been propelled into a different, sharper universe (I'm not sure if this makes much sense, but when I smoke it almost immediately when blowing it out I feel like my whole body is thrown into this sharp, bright place.)
Anyway sorry if Ive rambled on a bit, but I hope to have interesting discussions with you all and would like to learn and impart any positive input I have to share.
peace x
