Hello to All,
I would like to share a bit of myself and how I have come to this new portion of my life as a recently joined member of the nexus.
I myself have had a great fascination in psychoactive compounds since my early years in secondary school. This fascination did not meet with practical understanding until I first began to attend a secondary level chemistry course, to which I found my passion for life -as it was then that my life was full of passion.
From this point I continued to broaden my knowledge of chemistry as a whole, alongside my knowledge psychoactive compounds and their mechanisms, history, use, tradition, and application in modern society. Ethnobotany found greater value to my life as I learned of my Native American heritage and cultivated a greater respect for this earth through the teachings my mother had to offer from our time traveling the mountains, and our time maintaining her garden.
I have been a student of chemistry for some years now, and there will always be more for me to learn with the continuation of my education, and the continuation of my life. I have come to the nexus many times as a spectator to better my understanding, and now I wish to continue this growth by becoming an active member and contributing my knowledge and experience to the ingenuity of this community, all the while learning from the teacher that is within every member.
Thank you for the admittance, this opportunity to grow, to learn, and contribute.

Hi, nice to meet you.
Have you any plans for trying DMT?

Welcome!

You have come to the right place! The Nexus is full of brilliant people who are always ready to lend a hand and are very adamant about harm reduction. With a background in chemistry and ethnobotany you will find many here with the same interests (if not most or all of us... ). Please be sure to check out the attitude page and the FAQ to see how this place operates and if you feel so inclined, take the questionnaire. Welcome once again and may you find everything you are seeking here!

PEACE

-The Grateful One-

Yes, I tried DMT several years ago with my childhood best friend. He brought some to me when he drove to my the college to visit. we went for a hike, and I brought my djembe. we peaked a ridge overlooking the entire town and we found an alcove along its side so we weren't so well seen.
He left a half gram with me that i was able to use personally and to share on a few rare occasions with other dear friends. Since then Ive conducted a few smaller extractions through the years for when I find the time is right, though I haven't had the opportunity to experiment with all of them.

Thank you very much
I've already completed the questionnaire to the best of my ability, which in turn resulted in my re-reading of the attitude page, wiki, faq, health and safety, and a few of the books off my shelf to try and find an adequate answer to each question. though I plan to visit it every now and again

Hi, welcome to the Nexus, Li. Thank you for the beautiful and quality introduction. You seem to be doing what you know to be true and that can be incredibly vitalizing and inspires others as well. I wish you well on your growth, adaptation and learning experience within the Nexus!

Thank you very much for your kind words! I hope to invest as much of the time I have available to becoming a contribution to this site.

Welcome, Li. I have nothing more to say. I'm just glad you're here.
