Hey everybody its me here not new just fell out of the circle for about three years im ready to jump into the forum sections and and have an answer and/or arguement and insight for all a/b stb, chemistry and safety tecnique questions also love the books and art section. ive had to cut way back on usage personally occasionally but oxide just rubs me the wrong way. im mostly here to help all the new comers and what not and even though i look like a newcomer i most definately am not at all thanks again got to start over as a sapling all over agian lol peace love and light to all you cosmic travellers out there and thank you for having me here

Hello shardymarty, welcome (back) to the Nexus! Could you tell some more about your background? How much have you smoked, what kind of extraction experience do you have?

It's always great to have new people aboard to help out! Keep sharing the knowledge (whether by asking questions or by answering them)!

thank you very much for reading my intro void. i wanted to wait to explain myself until someone acknowledged my intro. my first experiences were in high school and it was frequent. im from a small corn field town in the middle of illinois. i didn't have any influences and didn't know who i actually was as a child because my surroundings were corn and schoolmates who were heavily influenced by social media and mtv jersey shore type stuff so i didn't know who to be. my one escape was music preferably jam bands and live electronic. i did a couple of 4 day festivals as a teen. wasn't really big on words just liked long extended jams and heavy organ noises and trippy vocal cuts. i used to blast off at the beginning of the songs and i really enjoyed to see how each song made me feel. sometimes really happy and sometimes i felt really sad and worthless in an odd unexplainable way. i usually forgot how i felt and was motivated to do something better in my life and be a better person EXAMPLE; my room was dirty during the trip with a sad feeling song and thought about it real hard and i realized what a dirtball i can be or how sloppy i am and i just cleaned everything. 50mg of pure white usually makes me feel like i am on 200+ mcg of lsd and sometimes with a 70mg of mdma, kinda speedy in an awkward, cant talk to you right now way, and oxide always made me feel like i have to run through a jungle of visuals and tracers, which is discouraging for a breakthrough, before i get the visuals of 300mg white, which is usual for a breakthrough. i was always really interested in how it works and even asked my chem teacher in high school (he wore a technicolored lab coat) when i graduated i immediately went to community college for organic chemistry and laboratory technique classes (along with other prerequisites) and when i graduated from there i decided to take a couple years off and venture the country and take pictures. i used to just travel to see new places but when i found out the extent of tours the bands i like go on, i started going to a lot of concerts. ive been to nearly every state and almost every major city for concerts. 3 years ago i made a conscious decision to jump off the bus and settle down in asheville nc because i love the mountains and being from a corn field i felt like i was in a whole new world of mountains and trees and down to earth people and i got really healthy and started eating all organic food. when swim moved here he started extracting immediately in 2009. i hadn't smoked for about 2 years cause i had been traveling. i tried some of this and my third eye went about a mile in the air through the clouds on top of a mountain a half mile away and i was watching myself from an amazing birds eye view and could see everybody in the room through the side of the house as if the house was invisible it was very weird like i was a camera on top of a mountain and could see through houses and had zoomed in on me smoking dmt. all the while fractal multicolored umbrellas are spinning in front of my eyes and the people in the room are laughing at me. We had good cheap quality bark. i had a vast knowledge of freeze precipitation and growing crystals from my chem and lab tek classes, and my mentors did not. after i stopped extracting i decided i had taken a big enough break from normal life and started a clothing company making geometric shirts and hats and still reside in asheville. i noticed recently that there are new laws regulating mhrb and all kinds of stuff happening and im really here to help newcomers and learn extraction methods for different plant sources, also to find out what happened in our community with all these new rules. i plan on being a heavy hitter in the nexus and am graciously awaiting for someone to upgrade me from sapling so i can use the suppliers section and figure put extracting with different plant sources. thank you very much and be safe

With love, Shardy Marty
