I am honored to be here among like minded souls.
A bit of words about myself. I am in the 30ties, i have some knowledge of chemistry (sadly i am missing on the alkaloids but maybe i will find some mentors here)and developed a passion for ancient history and religions. That is what brought me to wanting to study LSA
Here is how it happened. I was reading about Eleusian mysteries and kept saying to myself that this spiritual experience must of been very profound if so many people kept the secrecy about it. Reading further i got to the entheogenic connection and stopped at ergot. Ergot was used since prehistory most notably when human sacrificing was involved but i suspect there was a way to "refine" it to something more peaceful. The recipe was lost with time and everything went covered in a mysterious impenetrable aura. Research must be made on this topic, especially decoding the kykeon (and succesful replication) once and for all. But time is lacking (both having a job and finding the ingredients takes a lot of time etc) so it will take some time before i will be sharing any personal experiences. Now about working with LSA, i did my fair part of reading and there are some problems. Many people have not reported any visuals not even talking about something divine (or nearly close to an epopteia). Imagine if so many greeks were initiated year after year, lacking epopteia i guess would be a downer and a breaker of the deal. 2nd problem many reported malaise from using LSA, ergot or MG seeds. That would look bad in the record if the disciples were dying by the hundreds because of ergot poisoning (nothing like the fire of st. Anthony transpired from the documents about how Eleusis felt to their disciples). So if they really used an entheogen it must of been real safe and really.. entheogenic I would also very much like to talk to an accomplished chemist about LSA, maybe i can attract the attention of sir Benzyme i have a lot of missing information about this chemical and i want to straighten that up before i do any practical work.
All in all it is good to be here and please, feel free to contribute with your own experience on the matter or your ideas. They will be gladly received. Cheers!
