Hi. Man. I have a lot to say, but frankly, I can't wait to say it on the other parts of this forum. I'm particularly interested in the physically healing effects of psychedelics.

My favorite entheogens are Salvia, mushrooms and peyote. I have gleaned invaluable wisdom from doing these things. When I do any psychedelic (except for Salvia and Iboga microdosing), my rheumatoid arthritis subsides, sometimes for a week at a time.

Agh, I just wanna talk with all of you guys. This place is one of those gems of the internet. Like, "this is what the internet is all about"--people from far and wide coming together with a common passion, but wouldn't be able to otherwise because of cultural stigmas and unjust laws. I am interested in contributing to the part of the forum that deals with furthering the rights of people to take psychedelics. MAPS n stuff.

I have experience with Ayahuasca, DMT, Salvia (smoked, buccal and oral (tea)), Iboga, mushrooms, MDMA, DOI, ketamine, nitrous, cacti, peyote, and 4-aco-dmt.

You can also find me on bluelight under the same username.

So... when can I post in other sections of the forum?

Hello and Welcome

I see you found this place in 2010. You will get promoted in no time when you apply your knowledge by helping some new members with theyr questions or you could simply post something interesting regarding "contributing to the part of the forum that deals with furthering the rights of people to take psychedelics. MAPS n stuff. " in the welcome discussion where a mod will eventually move it from.

Maybe you could "expand" your introduction a bit and tell us about what experiences you made in the psy-rights-movement or with MAPS or anything else ?

This would definately help your promotion. Chat, although it's the welcome area is already open. So you can kind of jump in already

PEACE

The new promotion system can be read about HERE...
Welcome back

Hi RhythmSpring,

I have seen you over on the Eboka forum

I was just wondering whether you could share a bit more on your experience of microdosing Iboga? You mentioned that it doesn't help with your rheumatoid arthritis, but I am curious as to what benefits you gain from it, and what dose/duration of treatment you employ?

Welcome to the Nexus!

Would you mind sharing a bit more about your rheumatoid arthritis? My dad has it, and I`m affraid I will have it too.. Wondering at what age you found out, if you also have others in the family with it , and what has been working for you treatment-wise ?


Also, what area of the nexus do you find yourself more often looking at or researching?

Be well

!Xabbu - I haven't made much of a definite splash in the psy - rights movement. So far my only involvement in it has been attending one MAPS potluck, and I am currently writing a paper on "The Psychedelic Closet" for an essay-writing class. It's going to be pretty comprehensive. I'm excited about sharing it when it's done. Perhaps I can post it up here? Or, if I feel really snazzy about it, I might submit it to more professional publications or media.

Lickie_Emu - Microdosing makes me feel realer, more playful, adventurous, energetic, connected with humanity. Lately I've been doing single doses of 25mg/50mg of Iboga TA. I've only done 4, I think. They were intense. Each lasted about 3 days and really kick-started my life/kicked my ass. I slept like a rock, too.

endlessness - How old are you? I got it when I was 18, and I'm 24 right now. No one in my family has it. My case is unique and uniquely severe. Diet helps a TON in management of symptoms, but it is not a cure. Various immunosuppressant pharmaceuticals help too, but only somewhat. They be enbrel, humira, or xeljanz. Stay away from methotrexate (if you get it).

I am currently quite interested in the Ayahuasca section, because I am planning a trip to Iquitos, Peru, to have a curandera work with me for three months to heal the rheumatoid arthritis. Ayahuasca is part of the treatment, but certainly not the only part. Many other herbs will be employed. I have a lot of uncertainties about the whole thing. My first and only past Ayahuasca experience wasn't so good--I got stuck in a thought loop for a few hours, and it was kind of traumatic. I didn't purge. No real visions, nothing that pertained to me personally. It was all kind of universally metaphysical. I panicked.

Perhaps in the future I will not panic.

I have been microdosing Iboga rootbark capusles (300mg) for a short period now. The effects have been subtle, but I have definitely experienced an overall lift in mood and an increase in optimism about my life and where it is that I am heading.

I have never heard of anybody microdosing TA tbh, and I am certainly curious about this approach. You mentioned that on the small dose of 25mg/50mg, the experience lasted for three days. Were you completely 'out of it' during this period, or were you able to function as normal?

I had the chance to visit Iquitos during the earlier part of last year, and it is a place which I would certainly like to return to at some future point. I had the chance to work with a native shaman for a ten-day period, although my experience with him was somewhat disappointing (in contrast to my experience of working with him in England, where I thought he was amazing). However, on my penultimate night I attended a ceremony hosted by 'the Gringo Shaman', Ron Wheelock.. Wow! I can honestly say I have never experienced such depths in any previous Ayahuasca journey. I was totally blown away by not only the power of his medicine, but also the way in which he conducts his ceremonies. That guy is the real deal.

I was definitely able to function, but life was just more intense. During the first 6 hours of the experience, though, I wanted to be alone or doing something very meaningful to me. I could drive and whatnot, but I definitely had a no-bullshit attitude.

The experience still had the Dark, Light, Emptiness trajectory that my floods had. I wasn't out of it, I was just really in it.
