Why I want to be a full member at DMT Nexus

[Progshim]

I joined this site several months ago, after years of occasionally visiting in search of information. I read the rules and the explanations of why the site is managed the way it is, and what the site is hoped to provide for its members. Mostly I agree with what I read, although some of it seems a little heavy handed to me. I took the questionnaire (not very seriously) and wrote a short essay on a topic important to me. I don't write very often and I get distracted easily with tanget topics, but it came out ok. I made a post or two and responded to several others, and expected to be promoted from "New member" to "Full Member" in days or at most a couple of weeks, as indicated in the new member sticky that I read. I'm 52 years old and have had a passionate relationship with psychoactive substances for nearly 40 of those years, and in that time I've learned a great deal about a large assortment of compounds. I believe the concept of "Harm Reduction" is one of the most intelligent ideas ever put forth in drug culture, and if the ultimate goal is ending the war on drugs and abolishing prohibition, then we, as users, will have to work together. We have to be mature, responsible, and educate ourselves and each other, as well as interacting with and educating the public. I'm sick of being viewed as a lesser citizen because I like to use drugs, sick of being afraid of getting "caught", sick of brutal cartels getting rich at users' expense by exploiting prohibition, and sick of hearing "another opioid overdose". I want to be a full member at DMT Nexus because I believe in it and I have something valuable to share.

Welcome dude,

We'll gratefull to hear some life changing experience you could have by past, i'm pretty sure some are written in the rock :thumb_up:
Some interesting things could to hear your pov of the evolution of psych substance during the time (dosage, types ...) all ways carried by an harm reduction approach, it can be very nice for young comers into psych to have informations

From what i think, how i perceive the reality is like my internal reflect, if i'm sad i'll see saddness around me, in the other way if i'm happy world is great.
For years i was stucked into the life is pretty bad because of what you mentionned. later i understood how to construct my reality, i'm allways onto that, to have a better life and concerns. used to work on myself with different tools (as some psych can be if properly used), self dev and trust in me to not be deviated from from the objective (be me, be good with other and me, give energy to other and not judge them, be humble). This helped to be focus on what i want and not focused on the "dopaminergic society".
As you said, educate oursleves and each other will help to reduce "the bad" and help propagate good vibes around us, it's an allday work !

Peace
