Hello anabolic_hippie,
Welcome to the Nexus and thanks for taking the time to write an introduction essay.
Do you extract your own DMT? I hope so.
Promotion can take awhile here - the mods need to get to know you and know that you understand the rules and culture here. So, please take some time to read the indepth material you got with those links in your welcome email. If you check the upper right hand corner of your forum pages, you will see those links again. This information is invaluable and has been assembled over a period of years. It's worth taking a look at.
You can post anywhere in the Welcome and Research areas. By logging on you can view the entire contents of all the other subfora that are here. It really is worth taking a good look around. Then start posting - once mods get to know you, there's a good chance you will be promoted into regular Forum membership.
Again, a warm welcome to you.
"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
