Greetings all,

Just wanted my first post to be in the introduction sections so here it goes.

A little about me:
Recent lurker and even more recent extractor of this fine substance. I first discovered this magical substance through posts at the shroomery (same username if anyone wants to look me up). My first extraction was several months ago and ever since have been improving and refining my techniques. Although I have had several dmt experiences I still feel like I have yet to break through (though I have been close). DMT is a strange substance for me. I have always had pleasant experiences from it, yet I still maintain somewhat of a fear (or respect) of it. Don't know if this will ever truly go away or just lessen with time.

Psychedelics have played an important role in my adult life. Currently I am a geology major (almost done after 6 years & am major change) and attribute changing majors to the experiences brought about by these drugs. I try to live simply and holistically though this is easier said than done.

Currently I have 3 salvia plants, a morning glory vine, and a tiny (seed grown) peruvian torch cactus (can't wait to try mescaline). I feel that tending for these sacred plants creates a bond between you and them and if you treat them with respect they will return the favor. I attribute this as a major reason why I have yet to have a terrifying experience while under the influence of these substances (maybe my set is just 'right' though)

Anyways that's pretty much it for now. Please feel free to post any comments/questions/ etc.

Again -- Just wanted to say High

Welcome.
Good to have you aboard

Welcome abroad !
it feels good to grow your beloved allies !
As for the fear or respect using Dmt, in my experience it doesn't go away, which is prolly good and maybe one reason it doesn't have addictive properties.
Keep posting !!

thanks guys. Just started attempthing my first bestine recrystallization. The crystals look extra pretty but boy does it sure lose a lot of mass.

The fear doesn't go away but it can be controlled. As with anything practice and experience will bring about the skills needed to control the situation. the fact remains it is the most powerful experience a human can have and as such it is never going to be something that is easily handled and it should not be in my opinion. Fear is just a layer of the onion that is our being. It serves a very vital purpose if one were to be completely without fear then we would be doing things that would get us killed on a regular basis. Think of it as a instinctual alarm that tells you when you are entering into a dangerous territory. You should not be controlled by the alarm but you should realize it's role in life.

Welcome to the Nexus

This compound demands respect or it will torment you in ways you cannot begin to imagine.The fear you describe is the corollary of this and if you keep these 2 aspects in some kind of healthy balance, you wont go far wrong
