I look forward to being an active member of this board and hope to give back, to the community and those beyond it, a small percentage of what I have taken in.
*Warning, long read lol* Condensed version => I like psychedelics, and look forward to exploring

I have never felt the urge to join a forum such as this as it didn't seem important to share my experiences, till I realized how much I needed other people's experiences to make sense of and develop my own. So here is a brief introduction to Onani.

I have slight OCD when it comes to preparation and knowledge of what I put into my body. I have been doing drugs as a means to enhance my life's experiences -not to escape em'- since I was very young. I understood the mechanism through which drugs affect your body and brain, and never let the use of drugs interfere with my life development. Ended up with a good education, a fantastic job, great social network of friends and family. Drugs do not make a person a degenerate, it simply catalyzes a degenerate to his end goal.

Then about a year ago, my friends recommended we go take a mushroom trip. Before I agreed I had to of course put in about a months worth of extensive research on everything from academic articles to hundreds of pages of the shroomery to the extensive pages of Erowid (like I said, OCD) haha. I am mentally strong, happy with myself and my life and believed I would take whatever the experience of mushrooms was in stride, having heard of the potential of bad trips. Mushrooms absolutely blew my mind. They opened up a level of consciousness and reality I had no idea existed. I realized that I had been walking through life seeing the world in black and white, and now I had seen color for the very first time. This led to an ongoing journey of exploration into my own psyche, reality and the universe.

Next was acid... amazing. First trip, I questioned for the first time my own sanity and literally felt the existence of multiple realities and dimensions. Needless to say, a little too high of a first dose.

Fast forward to 2 days ago, DMT - The Final Frontier? haha. I reached this point in my life not looking for answers, in fact, the exact opposite. I've always thought that I knew everything, but am intelligent enough to know that this likely means I know nothing at all.. I am looking to DMT for questions, not answers.

Anyways, good to meet you all! I look forward to sharing my experiences with you

Welcome onani!

Sounds like you've got your head screwed on the right way and are grounded in your reality - both very valuable traits for the path you've chosen.

I hope you enjoy the ride and continue to make the most of this wonderful community.
