Hello zodiac09,
Welcome to the Nexus. Thank you for taking the time to write out that thorough introduction essay. I enjoyed learning a bit about you.
I would love to hear more about your experiences in Peru, either here or as a trip report (even though it probably wasn't your first step into hyperspace that's where to post). Anything you'd care to share would be great.
Meanwhile, please do check those links in the upper right hand corner of your Forum pages. FAQ and Health & Safety are invaluable and written by people in the know who really care. the wiki is full of juicy extraction data for all kinds of entheogenic plants.
I am confident you will indeed meet many folks here whom you resonate with. I look forward to learning more about you.
Again, a warm welcome.
"But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."-Rick Doblin, Ph.D. MAPS President, MAPS Bulletin Vol. XX, No. 1, pg. 2Hyperspace LOVES YOU
