Hello Friends (some that I’ve met over the months in the chat, some that I feel like I know from reading so many of their posts, and others that I am yet to “meet”),
After much insistence from some other members I have finally gotten around to writing one of these things, but I can’t lie and say there was no motivation of my own though. There have been so many posts that I have read that I wanted to add my own experience or give some advice on rare occasion, that I did not have the ability to. To put it simply, I look forward to what the future holds.

Before I get into some of my experience and story how I got here, a little about myself:
I live in the Northeast US, and am in my late 20’s. I have a degree in biochemistry, although I’ve stuck more on the bio-side of things since graduating. I’m generally a very optimistic and positive person that gets along with most people.

DMT first entered my vocabulary a little over 5 years ago when I was hanging out smoking cannabis with a co-worker that was much more experienced with entheogens than I was, to say the least. This was a pretty common occurrence at the time… DMT had peaked my interest enough then for me to do research on my own on the internet, perusing sites much like this one for information. I returned with more questions and found answers. About a year after the first time I’d heard of DMT at all, I was then invited into their “inner circle” where I discovered a mutual friend of ours (who happens to be a brilliant chemist) has been doing some testing with the spice for some time and supplying the group. I was still very nervous and cautious, but because of all the research and experiences I’ve read about, I was fairly confident it was safe (especially knowing the person that was extracting it). I decided that I wanted in on the next batch .
Couple weeks later the time had come, and I had been preparing mentally for months...
Everything was perfect…
I didn’t break through, and my experience was abruptly interrupted by what can only be described as the loudest Harley Davidson motorcycle on the planet driving right by the window… but everything was still… perfect.
After the sound startled me, I had opened my eyes, and something was very strange. I was lying perfectly flat on a bed (on my back) with no pillow, and could feel my whole body including my head, contacting the mattress… but when I would open my eyes I was facing the front of my room. I closed my eyes. “That can’t be right…” I opened my eyes. My view point was still as if I was facing the front of the room. While my eyes were open I could still feel the bed against the back of my head, and I was able to push against it. My head wouldn’t go any further back, but my visual angle was as if I was lifting my head off the bed looking at the front of the room. It didn’t make sense, but I was able to get ahold of myself and close my eyes to try to get as much out of the experience as I could. I once again started traveling through what I could only describe as a wormhole type of thing, where the walls kind of resembled a turquoise silk sheet type of material. I didn’t quite make it to the end of the wormhole-like thing I was travelling through, but I did get far enough to see the end. In the opening I saw the outline/shadow of what looked to be a Hindu-religious-like entity peek over the opening (just head and shoulders). I started to receive a communication basically saying something like “come on, you’re so close! Just a little further!”
I wanted to make it. I wanted to see what it could show/teach me… I felt nothing but goodness coming from it. My movement slowed, and then reversed… I started freaking out a little… something to the effect of “nooo! I want to make it there I’m so close”… It replied with a little sadness but assured me saying something like “it’s ok, it’s time for you to go back… maybe next time… There will be a next time.” (As most of you know it is possible to have these communications without any actual words being spoken… trying to describe that to someone who hasn’t experienced it can be tough.)
It was about another year before I worked up the courage to taste the spice again. This time, I had put much thought into the setting, wanting someplace peaceful without interruption from another evil vehicle, ha. I had decided on a friend’s property on Lake Sylvia, in NY (beautiful) during the summer. It was close enough to the water to hear the ripples along the shore; the sun was coming through the beautiful canopy of trees, slight breeze… It was just how I’d hoped. I pulled a mattress out into the middle of the trees, about 100ft from the shore and prepped for launch. Ripped plenty to breakthrough (glass pipe), and laid back feeling the familiar vibrations associated with take-off. About 30 seconds in, I started feeling little bites all over my legs and arms… I sat up and looked and realized there was a swarm of gnats all around me making a meal… launch/mission ruined .
I went inside, and described everything that just happened… I made it clear I wasn’t giving up since there was plenty of spice left. Next persons turn was my sister and she took one monster hit and was gone INSTANTLY. She said she wasn’t even “here” when her head hit the pillow. Her experience was pretty amazing but that can be another post
She came back to us refreshed and loving it and amazed at what she had just seen (it was her first spice experience).
Now, it was my turn again. I went to a spare bedroom in the cabin to be alone and un-interrupted. I took what I thought were 3 good enough hits of the remaining spice (~45mg), and was off. It started off like my first experience with the fractilization and then a wormhole-like vision. But that broke down… it paused, and started cracking like it was just an image… beams of light started coming through the cracks, the cracks got wider, soon there was no image of the wormhole and only this white light.
It was the purest, whitest, white I had ever seen… I was very scared and anxious, until I felt it. Pure love. It was if it embraced me, the white-ness came closer and I felt it more… “Telling” me “it’s ok, everything is fine, no need to worry”… and… I didn’t. It wasn’t there long, and again said something along the lines of “our time together is over, enjoy your time there.”
I think the shorter trip was due to the fact that I still had some tolerance built up in my system from blasting off less than an hour earlier.

Again, about a year later after teaching of my experiences to a couple friends, interest grew… So I got spice for a group of 3 of us(including me). One was a very open minded person, willing to be taught through experience… the other more stubborn, acting like he knew the best way to do things even though he’d never done it before(to be fair they have both done their own research as a pre-req of mine prior to the experience), and their experiences reflects their approaches. Nothing astonishing to report… it ended up being a night of many small doses being administered instead of blast offs.
Once AGAIN! About a year later, the spirit molecule started calling to me. This is when I had approached my friend who was the master extractor of the spice, and asked to be taught his methods. What he taught me was only slightly different than Cyb’s MAX ION salt acid/base extraction method I’ve seen on here. He talked of being an active member on multiple sites including this one. (I still don’t know his alias though haha) I tried his method and got average results and have just made some adjustments over the months of being on this website as a member.

Months into being an active new member here, and hopefully soon to be full member I have not only completed over 500g of ACRB extractions with an average of ~1% yield (not super impressive I know, but I have another 500g waiting that I am optimistic about.), I am also over a week into my first psilocybin mushroom grow (Golden Teacher, no contamination that I have seen yet, five 1pt mason jar cakes worth growing), I have two Ultra Lemon Haze Cannabis plants that just germinated yesterday that will be grown in a 2’x4’ grow tent with 10 T5 lights(4-3000k, 6-6500k, putting out 50,000+ lumens), and lastly I have 100g of dried/crushed caapi leaf soaking in ethanol waiting to be used to make 10x caapi to make CHANGA for the first time (with some blue lotus, mullein, peppermint and mugworts to experiment with blends).
Needless to say entheogens have become a major part of my life, with most of the thanks coming to this site and the people hanging out here. There is still much I’d like to get involved with additionally as well! I plan to use my knowledge to spread knowledge and awareness to hopefully make the world a better place.

I have many questions still in all of these areas that i look forward to picking brains about!

Bout time!
