Dear Nexian entities!

Let me tell you a story about a friend named Jed.
Jed was born some twenty years ago in a beautiful country in central Europe.
Jed had a lovely childhood reading and frolicking, but as he grew older he could feel the discomfort of adulthood seeping in.

When he was 16, he had his first beer. It all went downhill from there... Moderate drinking, weekly weed smoking, daily weed smoking, interest in psychedelics, interest in spirituality and mysticism...

Some months after his 18th birthday he finally managed to get some LSD, only to enjoy some 18 hours of Phenethylamines (DOB). He loved it regardless.

Fast forward one year (about 2 months ago). Jed is interested in trying some MDMA. He asks a pal if he knows about any, but alas, there is none. His pal says "if you want something strong enough, it will appear".

So Jed thinks to himself, huh, interesting, googles DMT, reads all he can, is more than intrigued, says what the heck, and suddenly a huge jaguar materializes in front of him, handing him a baggie containing a mystical substance.

One sunny autumn afternoon he heads out into a quiet spot in the woods, meditates some, performs a preparatory ritual and loads up an elegant wooden pipe with a sandwich of tobacco, DMT and tobacco. He takes a last deep breath and sparks it.

Jed's technique sucks. He fails to hold in the smoke and starts coughing massively after the second toke. As he finishes coughing, doubling over, he notices a whole new space in his body. It's as if his airways have turned into a massive wind tunnel. He looks up and is mindblown. Colors pop, detail is intricate, it's as if his whole field of vision is being magnified without having to look closer. He examines plants and little insects, loving every moment. All of a sudden, he checks his watch. In the two or three minutes he spent marveling, seventeen minutes passed. Mindfuck. He spends the next hour or so marveling in the tryptamine afterglow.

^Btw, anyone who is so firmly against sub-breakthrough doses has never let themselves feel the contentment of this state.

After this, Jed's interest in psychedelics snowballs... He reads up and reads up and reads up, learns about Hoffmann, Shulgin, McKenna, Wasson, Strassman, Gracie & Zarkov, Fadiman, you name it. He explores the possibilities of acquiring plant teachers and their extracted friends, he spends several hours every day researching these spirits and their role in leading us all to contentment. He reads hundreds of teks, philosophical and scientific discussions on the Nexus and is deeply intrigued.

His unsatiated need to try the spice ends up with him getting a large amount of Acacia RB, which he is yet to extract. His intent is to produce Changa, to brew Formosahuasca, to see what the spirit molecule has in store for him and the fate of the world.

Jed's psychoactive experiences to date (chronological order): Coffee, Alcohol, Cannabis, DOB, DMT, Morning Glory, Syrian Rue, MDMA, Psilocybe cubensis (unfortunately, not a bad trip, but not positive either), Psilocybe semilanceata (hand-picked, mild, lovely experience).

I, the Chairman, mean to help my drunkard friends by inhaling any and all snippets of info the nexus has to offer.
On the other hand, I hope to contribute some insights, philosophical, technical or hyperspacial, anything my hallucinating pals supply me with.

Peace and love,
thanks for being around,
Chairman MAO, the red sun in our hearts

To quote one of my favorite signatures on this site:
...those smoalk now who never smoalk before; And those who always smoalk now smoalk the moar.

P.S. A question regarding Acacia Confusa and its oral activity: There are of course contraindications between MAOIs and MDMA. Since Acacia C. is orally active, do we presume it contains a MAOI of its own (NMT/DMT-oxide?) and is thus dangerous to consume with MAOI-contraindicated psychoactives? Would this also be valid for smoalking it? I know Changa is not recommended at all w/ Molly. Thanks again.

Welcome..

Before anything else. Please edit your post about buying as it is against forum rules.

There is a big disclaimer saying this in the attitude section as well is orange text above the text box when you are posting.

Hope you understand!!

Nice, the narrative has much more of a mystical aspect now.
Makes Jed sound a pinch cooler than he usually is.
Thanks for the stylistic tip.

Hi again.

Thanks for changing that. Cleverly done too!
Not to be a nitpicker, but you missed a spot. (The bit about the mushrooms)



And to try and answer your questions.

Though ACRB is said to be orally active, I think it is only so in large amounts. If you plan on brewing it alone or with another MAOI, you probably should not consume MDMA or any else that contridicts and could be dangerous.
Same thing with smoking. You should not smoke anything with an MAOI and consume something with it that could be dangerous.

Though Changa is NOT safe to smoke while on MDMA, it is safe to smoke pure extracted DMT while on MDMA.

Hope that answered your questions? If not let us know!

Have you decided on a Tek for your extraction? If you brew your ACRB do you plan on adding an additional MAOI? Have you read up on how to make Changa?

Once again welcome to the Nexus. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Yeah, I'll advise my friends to aim for freebase if they ever want to soar when rolling.

Jed was going to go for this tek, which seems well-writen.

BUT THEN

he encountered Cyb's MAX Ion tek and it looks splendid! People really seem to get above average yields and it doesn't look particularly hard, mostly in conjunction w/ knowledge of pitfalls through the time he's spent studying and also from some tough spots extracting Rue in anticipation of his Changa. [And yes, he's done quite the amount of research and some preparations, although his attempted Manske failed he's been working on rinsing the alkaloids with the theoretical aid of his chemistry prodigy friend.]

So next week he said he wants to borrow some scales and supplies (pH tester, NP, acid, etc.) and he'll be right at it. He said he can't wait! He also said he was going to try his first Formosahuasca [AC + Rue] today, so I'll have to ask him about that. It's been said in the weather report that this is the last day with acceptable temperatures for spending hours outside and I think he wanted to go out in the woods and explore his life with the intent of examining the unity of things.

Thanks again!
