Objective: First of all I want to say I've never been extremely involved on ANY forum before(That sort of sounds bad so KEEP READING). I've read various forums occasionally usually by stumbling across them researching something. I've randomly come across this site looking for answers for different things the last couple years and I noticed a totally different attitude here. There's no fighting or immaturity. Everyone has respect for each other and I rarely see any dumb people on here. This looks like the most ideal place to exchange ideas that I've found not just about extractions but beliefs as well and everything in between. I hope to learn a lot here and hope I'm able to contribute some things to you guys as well.

Who am I? Wouldn't we all like to know the FULL answer to that!
I'm a 23 year old musician from the U.S, I play guitar and sing.
I started a semi-reputable band 6 years ago and write all of our songs.
My goal is to use music to be a small part of the solution to changing the world around from it's current path to darkness and destruction, I realize that's not that specific but nowadays I'm afraid to explain my band's full good intentions.
I'm not making a career out of music just yet so I am a bartender and in the Adult Industry as well. I have experimented with drugs since I was 15. It all started with this stuff called Red Dawn that you could buy at head shops. I didn't know was in it, all I knew is it gave you some insane experiences. Came to find out after doing it way too much(50-100 times) that I was tripping on DXM. I then started tripping on cough medicine by extracting DXM out of it, but not as frequently. It's got to a point where I might take DXM once a year but I think I'm done with that stuff. When I was 15-17 I was very immature, just wanted to get fucked up with no sort of good intention. I would do pills, cocaine, alcohol, anything really, smoked weed every day which when I can I still do. I began taking mushrooms a good bit around the age of 18 and that changed me for the better. I was finally able to admit that I was damaging myself and finally wanted to better myself and not just get "fucked up". I got very spiritual and a lot of people around me thought I was pretty weird. Since then I've backed off the spirituality a little bit because I was obsessed and spending too much time with it. I just try to trust my own experiences and natural perception. Not saying this is right or wrong, maybe I do need to change some things about myself and meditate more but it's just what I'm doing at the moment haha. I've had some glowing experiences with mushrooms, LSD, DMT, weed, kratom, possibly DXM?, and salvia where it really felt like I was discovering something amazing. A lot of drugs I've done don't seem to have the benefit as the ones listed above. I'm VERY interested in finding "drugs" that have positive effects and aren't harmful. I take a lot of herbs and can definitely see mild improvements from them, but it's nice to have a hard trip sometimes.

I guess I could sum up my biggest goal from this forum is to learn about the good substances out there and how to properly integrate them all into bettering my life.

Welcome to the Nexus MusicGuy24. Its good to see more people going after these amazingly beneficial experiences.

I myself went through a similar let's get fucked up phase. And amongst drug using teens I guess this is probably pretty common. Glad that some pyschs led you to insights regarding the damaging effects this can have on ones body and overall well being.

That's a great goal that you have there at the end friend. I'm sure with responsible aspirations such as that your going to fit in here perfectly. The community is full of awesome information and ideas, and everyone cannot wait to help you with whatever it is you need.

Look forward to learning with you in the future.

Peace,
