Hello Purges
My experience with the molecule so far is as follows: I have a friend who I am really close too, she experiences everything and I have fed off her with my outlook in life so I will write her first person story here:
Early into her steps into substances she was offered DMT and being ignorant of what it was at the time and only seeing the crack pipe it was being offered in, she politely declined mistaking it for crack.
she then discovered a book by Rick Strassman "DMT: The Spirit Molecule". The whole thing resonated with me too, and after reading it I was hooked onto exploring hallucinogenics through my friend, not for their ability to F**k her up but for real positive tangible spiritual benefits to her whole being. she was 16 at the time and will disclose that she had a few issues she was carrying around at the time from various negative places, and she had began without realizing it the journey I am on now. So ironically, the substance she turned down still managed to catapult me onto a new path in life. She never came across it again.
She continued through her journey into the illegal rave scene trying first cocaine in very low loses, then taking her first pill (An Acid Star, Ah she will remember that forever!). Her group of friends at the time was huge and for the first time her my life, she was beginning to feel genuinely happy with her life. The first trip she had was not tinged with any worry whatsoever. I know some people get nervous but she dove right in headfirst. It was almost every single weekend after that throughout the summers for about 3 years before she went to University. As sensibility as possible,(She would read about each thing, and try a test does before tried anything) In no particular order she proceeded to work my way through this list:
Various Pills, MDMA, Ket, Speed, Coke, Acid (tabs dots and liquid), Mushrooms (Hawaiian, Ecuadorian, Liberty caps, fly Garrick), Weed, Salvia and a few brief trips into the then legal Meow Meow.
Each substance she experienced gave us new life lessons. Salvia was by far the strongest trip, Pills and MDMA let her let go of all her issues and love everything, Mushrooms gave her total devotion to nature. lsd made her appreciate the little things
Coke gave her confidence while speed gave her focus, and then she reached a point where she began to focus on my body more.
Yoga, healthy eating, meditations. The choice was then to stop what she decided to call the non-nature stuff. She waved goodbye to everything bar plants like Cannabias, Salvia ect and mushrooms. She am much healthier now, in a way better place mentally. She attributes that to her experience with substances, and general good luck at having good friends and safe places. That changed me forever.
I am now at a place where I like to share intelligently through discussion, I know on a base level psychedelics can help people who have had traumatic experiences, and on a spiritual level they are the key I feel to the spiritual realms. I won't bang on too long though. Thanks for the reply.
