Thanks, everyone! I'm happy to see such a warm welcome. =) Reading your responses actually made me feel really good about myself, haha. It seems like a really friendly and mature environment here and such a diverse group of people. I've been looking around the site quite a bit and it's great. Not just the threads and tremendous amount of information gathered here, but I also really like the art gallery! Beautiful. =)

And I'm stoked to be promoted! I think now that I've accomplished promotion and has access to the entire site, it has initiated my dedication to learning everything I can about DMT so I can be as prepared as possible. Oh, and I'm sure I will be starting on a low dose. With my timid personality, I like to start slow. If I could just take a small dose, experience the purge(which I'm pretty nervous about!), and accomplish surrendering and allowing the DMT to take hold, I would be pretty proud of myself. Any accomplishment, no matter how small, leads to bigger and bigger ones. =)

Oh, and to respond to Vodsel; I think you're right about the LSA. I've always gotten along pretty well with LSD, but it always felt so synthetic. Being the nature-lover that I am, I think a natural substance would be much more fitting. I haven't had a lot of opportunities to experiment with natural compounds because the only one readily accessible is mushrooms and I can't really take those anymore. But now I'm getting closer to acquiring some Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds and some mescaline-containing cactus tissue. I'm completely ready to continue my psychedelic journey and get ready for DMT.

EDIT: Although, I'm a little confused. That little potted plant under my avatar means I'm a new member(not promoted), right? It wasn't there a little bit earlier but it seems to have appeared again and I don't have the ability to post in other boards. Just wondering what might have happened there?
