The upgrade of my life

[reddog]

Hi everyone,

so I've been following the forums for a couple of months now and decided to join in. I've just recently had some first experience with an altered state of mind. This was a very unexpected and enlightening experience. I came to the conclusion that more research is necessary. It felt like having missed quite a substantial part of understanding of the universe.

I have already learned quite a lot from just reading and am hoping to be able to learn much more and contribute something as well, in the future. As a programmer I don't have a strong chemistry background (unfortunately). Nevertheless, I'm very interested in learning about extraction techniques. Living in Germany, it seems to be quite hard to find suppliers for starting materials. So I will be looking into growing plants, too.

I can say, from what I've seen already, this might be one of the most civilized forums in the world I very much intend to conform to this attitude and will try to be of use for the Nexus.

Thanks for building this place

Welcome to the Nexus

The extraction techniques as you will find out soon are not difficult at all once you understand how it all works. Understanding what you are doing is very important. Always check Wiki or threads when you need to find some answers.

Anything you studied and not sure about come and ask. Someone will help you in no time.

Read the attitude and health and safety section ( if you haven't done that already )

Thanks, I have read the attitude and health and safety already. So far I could already test a lime A/B tech. Unfortunately, the phragmites rhizome that I used didn't seem to have any substance in it, that would precipitate when I added FASA.

This reminds me of a quote...

The idea of someone going from birth to the grave without ever having a psychedelic experience is like someone going from the birth to the grave without ever having a sexual experience. It means you never really played in the game. You were a spectator, a silent witness. It means that you never figured out what it was all about.

I agree. To be honest, I'm still quite baffled by the amount of stuff which lives inside my head. It feels like a whole universe. It's so hard to imagine, that others have other universes in their heads. It seems impossible to even imagine right now.

Since I cannot reply to PMs yet. Thank all of you, who've been so kind to give me lots of information about finding materials in Germany. You're awesome!
