Hi everyone
I've been using this Forum for a few months now, about as long as i'm "researching" dmt. A few Weeks ago I created this Acc. I found this community to be a friendly place to discuss psychedelic matters, in the right form. But i read more than i write, but i like to chat.
I come from the middle of Europe, so to say, and my Interests are Music (Psy and general Beat Music), Politics, and obviously anything surrounding mind altering substances and their proper contextual use. SWIM is also very Interested in extracting and purifying of Alkaloids, waiting for my own first Extraction (q2121's tek) to come.

Undoubtingly, 'Drugs' can be used both benefitial or harmfull to the user. I try to as cautious as posible about my own use. Still I see enormous Potential in Entheogens/Empathogens for Psychotherapy and I try to use them this way, wich sometimes can be difficult in the circumstances that arise from prohibition i.e. not having a sitter or psychiatrist whilst exploring. SWIM tried different substances, with the following conclusions (highly subjective):
MJ has been my friend since i first met her, and never had a fight with her, except with myself when i miss her
Shrooms and Alice opened my eyes to the beauty of the world and even the smallest beings/forms of life.
Em did open my ears to electronic music and my heart to love myself
DMT SWIM didn't try yet, neither Mesc.
RC's are the frankenstein outcome of prohibition and dangerous in my opinion. BUT thats again only thanks to prohibition. Some RC's may be valuable to some, for me its not! SWIM tried 4-ACO-DMT (.......or whatever it was......)

I see the greatest challenge mind explorers like us face in the transportation of information to people, that are not familliar with drugs or the substance, for there are truly a million lonely souls out there that could benefit so greatly from experiences like swim had, but in the current society will never be able to. I forgot how to 'love' myself long ago, emma gave me (i read this in the forum a few days ago) the perspective that happyness CAN be felt still. Though working with substances that have profound psychic effect requires proffessional supervision and guidance! Thats Key imo!

i hope for a good time and to be of value to any fellow travellers

Welcome!

I am a new member like yourself. It is good to see people using the "good medicine" as just that. If you haven't already, check out the Ayahuasca section. It is good reading!

Welcome to the Nexus!

If youre interested in extracting alkaloids, I suggest you also play around with extracting harmalas from Rue. Check the harmala extraction guide or Tao of Rue in the wiki. Its an interesting process and its legal (unless you live in france or canada).

Did you consider taking dmt orally/ayahuasca too?

Be well!

Welcome Bud, great to have you here.

Fortunately we have places like the Nexus, so the transmission of information is much more simple and thorough. I remember back in the early nineties when I first got seriously involved in using psychedelics with intention... Well, there wasn't much information to be had. You could get a few books on the subject but the transmission of information did not flow in all directions. Fortunately that has changed. We are glad you can join us in this great project.

thanks alot for the warm welcome!

I would love to try Aya, brewed and administered the traditional way, but i take NDRI's that i would have to stop for 2 weeks before aya at least. Not that i wouldn't stop the meds instantly if i would have to choose, its not that simple. Withdrawal from AD's is horrible and a sign of their weakness compared to 'organic', shamanic methods. Thats why my first, smoked journeys are going to be full-forced and short-lived... later on i will use aya for self therapy. I do the same with mushrooms, though irregular and rarely, still effective but not transitional. i want to start experiencing with higher doses of psylocibin soon. Im looking up a way too extract them too, for i cant stand their taste. i honor them, dont misunderstand me, but the taste and consistency (of dry ones) is not for me.
i don't use the "swim" because i deeply believe what i do is right and will at last "be judged by history". concrete extractions etc i will care to formulate 'safe'
thanks!
Bud
