Very nice and thoughtful introduction.  You do indeed seem like a quality individual. 

I echo Pandora's advice in urging you to proceed slowly and with caution.  DMT is a lot to handle, regardless of age and even considerable prior experience with other psychedelics.  It's just a different animal than the rest - incredibly beautiful, impossibly inscrutable and not always an easy ride.  A breakthrough experience will leave you changed and challenge all your perceptions afterwards - and while any rattling will dissipate over time, you can't really put the genie back in the bottle, so make sure this is what you want.

Anyway, welcome to our little club.  Pass Go, collect $200 and feel free to post throughout the forum.
