Hello to all,
I've been lurking around on here for about 9 months at this point, and time being as it is, it has been hard to find time to make a first post. Nonetheless, I would like to just express my gratitude for this forum and wiki and of course, all the helpful and sharing people here. Thank you all so much for assisting me, even without awareness of me specifically, in finding my way into this realm.
It was less than a year ago that a good friend and I shared the sentiment, after absorbing hundreds of hours of T. McKenna, reading Shulgin, Pendell, and others, as well as a handful of fairly powerful Ayahuasca sessions, that we would seek the "spice" directly. For so long I avoided these more concentrated forms, out of respect for my aya experiences, as well as many psilocybe encounters. I have also had a fair bit of experience with MDMA and LSD, tending to keep these rare due to less reliable purity and/or the body load they, particularly MDMA, can leave me with. It was only a few weeks after verbalizing our intent to find it before someone I already play in a band with asked me if I was interested in trying some spice. So does unfold this path!
Since that time, the work has brought some amazing gifts my way in people I have met, knowledge and power I have gained, and a sense of promise of what may come in the future. I have been aided by the nexus in learning about the various extraction methods, starting with Rue Harmalas - a wonderful gift and teacher in it's own right. A new phase of my path has unfolded with the process of working with MHRB and the Lime/d-limonene teks, suffice to say.
In addition to the medicines' gifts of revelations and healing, I have been able to free myself from feeling addicted to cannabis. This is a new place for me. I have been a cannabis user for 18 years, and mostly it has been a great thing in my life. But I do recognize that it has had a negative side in terms of my compulsive daily use, and the lengths I have gone to satisfy that addiction. I don't really feel it is a bad plant (there are no bad plants!!), just that I now have a powerful "lever" to use to balance my approach to any and all substances I choose to work with. For now, it is a tremendous relief to have NO CRAVING for cannabis. It all seems to be about sincere intentions applied to working with the harmala and spice combination. DMT seems to greatly reward sincere intent, no?
There are many of you who have, unknowingly, aided me in my quest, and I offer my thanks and gratitude.
Health and happiness to you all,
"the fermentman"
