Hello community!

As you can deduce by my username, I have been reading the literature a little bit. The psychonaut concept came to my life 10 years ago from this guy called Antonio Escohotado. Since then, I've been reading about it all. I've grown my own plants, mushrooms and practiced some meditation for a while. After writing a couple papers on the epistemological and metaphysical side of these substances... I decided I wanted to go further in my experience of this.

I am determined to learn more about the practical side of it after 10 years of mostly reading and growing easy substances for personal research. This, to me, means I am finally experiencing with making and testing my own molecules.

At some point I'd love to show you what I'm doing so we all benefit from this accumulative knowledge. Since then, thanks for keeping this place active and welcoming.

Stay safe!

terencimaquena,

Welcome to the Nexus. I'm so glad you found us and signed up for membership, .

It sounds like you are on an amazing journey. I am very impressed by your path and your patience.

Have you tried your mushrooms yet? A solid mushroom trip is a decent pre-cursor (let you get a sense of the lay of the land haha) to a DMT experience.

Am I to understand you have decided to also extract DMT? If so there are many helpful TEK's in the WIKI link up in the upper left corner of the forum page.

I wish you nothing but success and happiness in your research and journies and look forward to seeing you around.

And yes, if you have any pictures of your grows, the Nexus LOVES plant porn. Please, please, please, .

I have tried my own mushies mostly (McKennaii and Moby Dick) and had some experience with LSD (up to 500ug).
When I say I've been mostly reading, I meant about DMT

I experienced ego death on that 500ug trip as well, but that was 7 years ago and... well, I just haven't found the time, place and headspace to do it again. I believe it's quite important to be a bit naive about life to be able to go into it without fear. Waiting on that.

I'm gonna try to post in the near future about my discoveries, maybe even some pictures (probably through PM).

If anyone wants to discuss about the literature, or give me any recommendations... Here I am!
