Hello southernmost,
Welcome to the Nexus. Thank you so much for posting an Introduction Essay. It truly sounds like you've been through a lot of drug adventures so far in your short life. I know you said long, adventurous, but maybe I missed something . . . would you be willing to share your current age with us?
I'm glad you found us and would like to encourage you to take a good look around. As you may already know the teks are in the wiki. The Attitude link shows our culture, the rules and how to stay in good graces. The more you post in the Welcome and Plant Research areas, as you feel the need to do so, will give us a better idea of you and potentially open the door to promotion.
The links in your Welcome PM are a great start. I'd encourage you to take a couple hours and read them in their entirety. Then dive into the Forums. You'll soon find much more time has gone by the wayside, but you'll hopefully learn more and more. I hope you like what you see and again, welcome you to the Nexus.
"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
