Starting down a new path

[fractaloctopus]

Hello everyone. I haven't tried a huge variety of substances throughout my life, but from what I have done I know that psychedelics are my preferred choice. LSD has always been my favorite, but to my dismay I've only ever hallucinated once during the dozens of times I've used it. I've always heard of DMT and it interested me, but from what I was being told at the time, it just sounded way too serious for me. Years later now I feel like I've matured enough and got my head into a proper state to explore DMT and ayahuasca. As I never go into anything blind, I've been voraciously reading DMT: The Spirit Molecule, watching the film of the same name, and trying to find as much information on the web as possible which lead me here. Over the last several years I've just been getting more and more disillusioned with the urban sprawl I live in and have been yearning for more of a connection to the natural world, not this cold, steel and concrete mess I live in. I'm hoping that DMT will initiate a deeper connection with myself and the world around me.

Aside from being an aspiring psychonaut, I'm a potter (third year university concentrating in ceramics), snowboarder, and bass player.

Welcome, minimal! It sounds like you've come to the right place!

This forum is an incredible resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about DMT, and other psychedelics as well, particularly if/when you get to the point that you are considering an extraction.

What other psychedelics are you interested in and which have you experienced in the past (aside from LSD obviously)? I personally don't have a huge amount of experience with LSD, but I have done it several times. The only time I have truly "hallucinated" aside from tracers, patterns, colors, etc., was from a relatively large dose compared to the doses I had taken before.

As I'm sure you've read, DMT is on a completely different level than other psychedelics. Don't get me wrong, I'm not discrediting other psychedelics by any means. But DMT is definitely a horse of a different color! :lol:

Good luck to you, I hope you are able to find what you seek!

Thanks Entheogenerator. I've done LSD, mushrooms, MDA/MDMA, 2C-E, and pot. So not really a huge variety. The one time I did hallucinate on acid, I noticed I was hallucinating, got exciting that it was finally happening and with the realization of what was happening it faded away. Comparatively to my friends taking the same doses I always have a much weaker trip. Consequently I've never really had any profoundly revelatory experiences. This is why I'm looking into DMT. I want to go beyond just having fun with psychedelics and move into areas of mental and spiritual expansion. Doing my own extraction is something I am also very interested in, but that probably won't happen for awhile yet.
