Hey There kisscarma,
Wow, your essay sure resonated with me. Thank you for sharing that.
Great to have another woman here who's got some life experience under her belt. LOL at how you came by your first DMT . . . I mean just wow.
Please check the links in the upper right hand corner. wiki has extraction teks - yep you can extract DMT safely in the comfort of your own home. FAQ is just that - but these areas are very well researched. You might want to also check Health & Safety.
I feel for you when you mention having told all your friends/family about DMT but for various reasons, including fear, aren't ready or don't want to try it at this point. It's like we have discovered something so amazing, so awe-inspiring, I mean who knew right? And then to discover it at this point in our lives . . . well we just want to share the goodness.
I just want to counsel caution here. I know you're way ahead of me on this, but nonetheless I'll put out the warning about the "DMT soapbox effect." It's just that. I've noticed that folks, myself included who have just discovered some of the wonders that the molecule has to offer tend to want to spread the message far and wide.
Needless to say, DMT is scheduled/illegal in most parts of the world. Please be careful my sister. You have a lot to loose . . . family. . . etc. .
Anyway, I'm so glad you're here. This is the place where the DMT soapbox is welcomed,

If you get a chance, could you maybe tell us a bit more about your psychedelic experience. It is clear from your intro. that you have tried DMT (smoked I presume) at least once. Have you ever tried an oral dose - ayahuasca or pharmahuasca? Anything else like LSD, mushrooms, mescaline/cactus, RC's, etc.?
Okay, enough ranting on my end. Again a very warm welcome to you - I look forward to seeing your posts around this place.
