Hi, I have browsed this forum for quite a time and have always managed to find fantastically helpful information so I decided to finally register so I may ask my own questions, and contribute to this wonderful community.

I'll start by telling a little about myself. I have been interested in psychedelic substances for some time now. Since the age of 13 in fact. I remember it all started when I took my first hit of cannabis (ah, marijuana and youth. Probably not the most responsible combination for some individuals but for me it was definitely one of the more interesting experiences I've had as a young teen). I used to smoke quite often with 2 friends of mine who were twins who I have since departed from them due to their negative attitude towards life. Anyway, after my first experience with cannabis I started to read about other chemicals such as LSD, Psilocybin, DMT and such. It all sounded very interesting to me and I would do hours and hours of research on these chemicals. After about 2 years of research, rip-offs, and fakes, I finally got my hands on genuine LSD and had my first experience with it at the age of 15. Now, mind you, I was not like other kids my age. I never did fit in with the rest of the crowd (which I now look back upon and realize is a fortunate thing). I always tended to be more responsible and I always did my research. The years leading from then to now were full of similar things and a sort of decay and transformation (for the better) of myself which is a lot to get into.

Nowadays, I'm studying to become a chemist and I enjoy chemistry as a hobby. I love art and music as I write and compose on a daily basis. I am also an aspiring psychonaut.

I hope I can find a place among you experienced psychonauts and maybe you can guide me on my own path.

Much love,
Mikhail
