Well, uhm, Hi

[AlphaCentauri]

So here I am, about to dive into a world distant from normal day life. In normal life people call me Dion, and I say to hell with all of that SWIM/my dog* nonsense! I'm quite young for your average psychonaut, being 18 et all, but many could learn from my frame of mind.

I've been interested in the DMT-experience for quite a while now. I got introduced to it by that Joe Rogan interview on YouTube and for a while I was going with the whole McKenna-hypothesis. Recently though, something sparked my interest in the whole Universe and after ingesting tons of information it now seems rather unlikely.

Not that I'm close to being anything of a scientist, I understand nothing of chemistry apart from that molecules exist and that they are build from atoms in certain arrangements. Would love to understand more on extractions, and someday maybe even synthesis.

Anyways, I'm somewhat of a troubled teen and I'm here not to see machine-elves, or anything like that. I understand the full potential of psychedelics. I'm here to look into my head. But, I don't really have a lot of psychedelic experience. Once did truffles, but they were nothing near the 'mindfuck' I often hear from psilocybine. Also bought some Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds at the local smartshop (love Holland), but I got very, very sick. (maybe a great idea for a first extraction? LSA?)

As for other drugs, I used to have a nasty amfetamine habit, but I'm all over that now. I occasionally do MDMA/XTC (once every 2 months maybe?), which I would only condone in a party environment. My experiment with DXM ended the same as HBWR-seeds. I do smoke 'too much' weed though, but I have yet to experience any troubles with that.

So please, welcome me here, and help me get into a higher state of mental being. (if my age, and thus my way of looking at things, isn't blocking the road)


*Seriously, who gives their dog psychedelics?

Welcome to the Nexus

I double your age, but I liked your intro and I think that if this is you at eighteen, your twenties and thirties look very promising.

Learning to look within, or "into your head", as you say, is probably the first Big Task we have to accomplish.

And I think a lot of us, including myself, have had tame, disappointing or unpleasant experiences the first times we took a glance into psychedelics. LSA/HBWR in particular can be very interesting but it is tricky to consume properly. You will find hints and methods of preparation here if you ever want to try again.

Some day you will find your ally of choice, and that day will be one to remember.

Stay safe, explore and welcome again.

Well, Vodsel, I see DMT or any psychedelic as 'the event horizon' of the mind. With that I mean that your mind is like a black hole and your thoughts (or it's form) have some form of physicality on it's edge (like light at the event horizon of a black hole). You directly look at this edge with psychedelics, hence the bizarre things you see and the psychological nature of many trips. Not in any literal sense, as your thoughts is just a formation of nurons. It's just your experiences, your way of looking at things and some basic human sense. This is what I mean with 'looking into my mind'.

And yeah, I'm trying to do an extraction. I'm going to let wash the seeds in Naptha (Nafta in dutch iirc), and then pull using acetone. The PanoraMIX tek says something about 'evap without heat source'. How does one go about doing that?

Also, I've applied for some basic chemistry course just so I can be an addition. Actually, I'm fixing me fucking up school and decided to do chemistry first so I can actually apply my knowledge. Either way, look forward to me in a year coming up with crazy teks.

Evaporation without heat source is just simple, slow evaporation. At the most, using a little fan to speed up the process if you want.

I haven't tried any LSA extraction, but there is at least one way for consuming HBWR seeds that worked great and clean for me. The culprits for sickness and a good deal of the body load that HBWR seeds produce can be several compounds, mostly ergotoxins and cyanogenic glycosides found in the plant material. So doing a cold water extraction that picks up ONLY the desired goodies is also a good option.

I prepare a strong peppermint tea, acidify it with lemon juice to pH 4, let it cool off in the fridge, add the ground seeds, shake occasionally and keep cool for ten minutes or so, decant the liquid (discarding the seed solids) and drink it right away. With some ginger or honey if you want. It works for me, barely any nausea after that.

And there's never enough crazy teks - as long as they work, we'll be happily welcoming them!
