Firstly thanks for the chance to learn and experience being a part of the nexus community! Just a little about myself, im the type of guy who has a lot of time on his hands as of late and decided i want to learn more about safety surrounding my psychedelic experiences.
i have had many drug experiences in the past which id wished id known the real dangers of before trying (when i was young, carefree and admittedly little scared of dipping my toes in the world of psychedelics).
i love studying and researching in my spare time (which i have a lot of currently) and safety concerning what substances i use have sparked my interest to warn my younger family members, frien ds and strangers the dangers of. i dont want others having bad experiences like i had (terrifying sometimes due to lack of knowledge) due to being unaware of what they are taking, how much is safe, what it contains, the effects and also their safety overall!
ive tried a few teks alongside a friend after being introduced to cybs salt tek (amazing by the way!) but wasnt introduced to the nexus itself until recently.

ive assisted in a few teks for my own personal use and very much agree with the adopted attitude of the nexus also. i dont know of a market for dmt (and hopefully never is one) and apart from my friend never had it offered to me either before in my life. id heard of it and done a little research becoming aware it was from the tryptophan family and also heard of changa. my view is why fund a market for something that isnt for everyone, plus why pay for something when you can extract it for practically nothing.

i wouldnt want to put anything in to my body these days that would be harmful anymore instead id rather heal ,repair, obtain knowledge of safety and awaken my mind. after doing these teks though with my friend and his equipment used i decided to look further in to safer methods and equipment.
ive tried my first teks alone amd with some happy results! cybs salt tek is amazing! and ive used a magnetic stirrer with hotplate and tackled a few emulsions already!
thankfully a lot of the issues ive researched the answer to and tried when it comes to emulsions and always willing to learn more.
i cant wait to post more in the future and also gain more knowledge as i grow as part of the nexus community. thanks guys and be posting some results sson!

Greetings! Happy to have you.

I commend your intention on focusing on harm reduction. You've stated many things that can often be avoided with the right information in mind. Definitely a realm of experience not to be taken lightly (DMT specifically). There's a lot of ground to cover and look forward to hearing what kinds of ideas for harm reduction you'll share.

I use a Cyb tek too (Max Ion). Very very thankful to that individual (and many more on the nexus).

When you said in the tryptophan family did you mean tryptamine family? Wondering so I can make sure my understanding is up to date lol. I'm not a chemist, psychologicalist, or anything so am commonly second guessing myself.

Again, welcome. Looking forward to seeing you around the forums

One love
