Dear all,

Just joined.

I've been following Nexus for quite some time now and appreciate the depth of discussion and versatility of the topics. I have learned enormously about chemistry, safety, ethnobotanics, spiritual ways etc. by carefully reading endless threads about these topics, making notes, cross-checking sources, comparing to scientific literature etc.

However, many issues remain open and the community continues to learn by contributions of individual members. The daily progress and expansion of our common knowledge base is apparent from the threads. I have decided to join Nexus to be able to ask more detailed clarifications, to bring in my observations for which I could not find answers from here or elsewhere and thus contribute to this high-level information base. I am a scientist by profession and like to do my own research before asking, interested about the theoretical aspects of all this, and approaching the topic with the full respect it deserves.

I do not know how soon the promotions will take place but I am keenly looking forward to be able to contribute to discussions in specific threads where the access is blocked for new members.

Hi, welcome to the Nexus.

Are you interested about topics generally or you intend to study or try DMT or any other substances mentioned here on the forum ?

What kind science do you do if I may ask ?

I am sure if you have good chemistry knowledge you will be good addition to our scientists team here at Nexus.

When it comes to promotion it will take some time. People will have to know you first before you will be allowed to post anywhere you want. The best way to do it is to start contributing and answering questions posted in new members area. Lots of questions there.

Hey t0t0t0,



There are a numerous members here that are involved, either professionally or through personal inquiry, in the sciences. You might come across members who's interests are aligned with yours regarding research topics.



Please, by all means, ask away. I'm sure many will appreciate it and gladly join in on the discussion.

Hello colour, smokerx, and all. Thanks for the welcomings!




I am interested in all aspects of psychedelic plants, extraction chemistry and set & setting in general and DMT in particular. Not new on this area but there certainly remains a lot to learn, and discussions in Nexus have proven their value. Respect and safety are important aspects and this is well reflected here.



Natural sciences but not chemistry. My chemistry knowledge is limited to high school courses (though I took all available courses there + some introductory university courses way back). But this gives a good background to follow threads and I have lately experienced a revival in my interest towards chemistry which I never found this interesting before :-) It is just super interesting to understand what happens in various stages of the extraction and how it is affected by different variables! At least for now it is, however, more about reading about these than trying it all out myself.




Great, point taken. And the attitude page done already. I will do my best !
