Hello all,

I have been a long time lurker in the nexus but I feel my knowledge and experience at this point in life is somewhat worthy of sharing. I look forward to learning more and growing as a person and I hope I can likewise help/guide others through positive contribution!

A little bit about myself: I have only had one notable experience with our beloved dimethyl substituted tryptamine (other two experiences were sub-breakthrough with very little visuals). However, while this was absolutely MINDBLOWING and unlike any other compound (entity contact upon emergence), I only remember bits and pieces with the vast majority completely forgotten, and thus I do not feel like I really gained/learned very much from it (I suspect it wasn't only n,n-dmt as it was dark red/orange and very oily-waxy...nonetheless VERY active and VERY VERY weird). So I guess my point is that right now, I am more interested in aya/pharma routes (which I have never tried) at least until my brain is ready to absorb all that instantaneous chaotic input at once that comes with vaporizing.

This one breakthrough with DMT (or whatever it was) has taught me one thing though: this is some serious shit will KICK YOUR ASS and you best show some respect. Before pursuing a more spiritual approach to DMT, I have realized that I needed to make a few changes in my life. I have completely stopped smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and blowing coke. I have completely stopped using MDMA and all research chemicals/substituted amphetamines (of which I no longer have any interest whatsoever). I have even stopped smoking cannabis for a few months now and I have been making an extra effort to meditate and remember my dreams.

I recently did a small scale acacia confusa extraction with good results and I am saving the product for the right time.

Sorry for rambling and peace!

Welcome to the Nexus theslithering!!

Try to keep in mind the rule about profanity. It's no biggie, but just check out the Attitude page and keep all that in mind when posting. If you keep posting and participating respectfully you will possibly get full membership soon!! It has great benefits.

So do you have any experience with other entheogens?

Woops! I will try to watch my mouth from now on. Thanks for the heads up. And yes I have extensive experience with mushrooms and LSD. I tried mescaline that my buddy extracted once but I suspect the extraction went poorly or I didn't take a high enough dose (~300mg I think?). Like I said I have done various mdxx and 2cx compounds as well as ketamine but I think the general consensus here is that these are not true entheogens (although I would have to disagree with respect to ketamine and a few of the 2cs like 2ce and 2ct2/7).

They are not traditional entheogens, but I have also had a lot of experience with them as well. 4-aco-dmt and 5-meo-mipt are really good too.

Hello

I also have discovered the therapeutic usage of psychdelics, starting with salvia divinorum and shrooms - and now DMT.
I used to be very... reckless when it came to substances (used to do all kinds of crazy things: benzos, crack, opioids, RC's), and I used to be a very depressed person. That has now changed - not just because of psychedelics but also because of other things: I've moved to another city, I got a GREAT job and I got diagnosed with autism. I now know myself better than ever, my mindset is surprisingly positive and I'm really looking forward to my next DMT experience!

PEACE
