Hi fractalicious,
Welcome to the Nexus. I have seen you in chat - it' great also seeing that you posted an introductory essay.

So many folks in their 40's or 50's have joined up recently. Being a woman in my mid-40's I greatly appreciate this.
I wonder if you might be willing to tell us a bit more about yourself? The focus of your career or studies? How much psychedelic experience you have, what you got from said experiences, etc.
So, have you actually tried DMT? If so what did you think? If not, the wiki link in the upper right hand corner of your forum pages has a lot of wonderful extraction teks for entheogenic plants.
Again, a warm welcome to you.
