I understand yer consern. All my info comes from the Nexus. Some of the Swims's are more experienced than others. How do you know who to listen to? I'd appreciate yer opinion. I'm always trying to expand my knowledge of these things. Knowledge is power

How about the manufacturer? In this case, Philips.

Here's the same info I've posted in countless other threads (pretty much every time this topic comes up):

We are now way off topic. Let's get back to the original topic of this thread. Thanks.

cy6nu5, if it's not too much to ask, would you mind telling us what went down after your last post before you were incarcerated? Last we heard, you were waiting to see what happened.

Hey cy6nus !!!
Thats sounds totally not fun bud ..
Im so glad that you found your freedom !!
We all need to be careful with stuff like this , badly people are too jeleus and talking too much..
Stay safe everybody and keep your secrets to yourself !!!

Best regards

Especially with DMT manufacturing. Possibility of 25-life. I wouldn't tell God himself.

Wow, guys, thanks for the support!
I know I posted this a while ago.
Someone also mentioned my Adios, World post back in 14.

Oh, man it's been an interesting ride.
So I got raided back in '14 by the Metropolitan Enforcement Group. This was actually on April Fool's Day. They seized pretty much anything of consequence in the house including my computers and combed through the hard drive.
Really, I came to find out that my ex-stepfather found a video I posted on YouTube as a tutorial to extract out dextromethorphan from cough syrup. I didn't know that that was an illegal process in my state, but I was at least smart enough not to state my name or show my face on the video. He still knew it was my account though and reported me to the authorities.
Seven months later I was arrested (after I had just found a new job the night before, I might add. Tell me THAT isn't karmic BULLSHIT). They only charged me with the manufacture of DMT and not of DXM which they also could have, but I think they thought I was trying to get DMT out of cought syrup? They got the two stories convoluted (thank the stars for small favours), from what I read in the motion for discovery.

So I did 20 days in county jail and took a plea bargain at my preliminary (I'm already a convicted felon for other charges, so taking plea bargains isn't like it's really going to ruin my reputation any more). They closed the other two cases for which I was on probation, and they reduced the charge to simple possession of DMT and gave me a two year sentence. I served 9 months on the 2 at 50%, then 5 for my parole time which I served in prison while earning more good time.
To answer someone's question, yes, I ended up getting 4 months of good time AND walking out without parole. It was really a pretty sweet deal all things considered.

I suppose I'll write what prison was like for me in another post. This is the preliminary information and I don't want to write a book in one post.

In my state, manufacturing DMT was a class 2 felony worth 3-7 years.

As far as the actual prison experience itself, it wasn't so bad. It could have been a LOT worse, but the prison system is so bureaucratic these days it has like 15 different classifications and you sit in receiving in the "main prison" so to speak until they work out which prison you should go to.
Being a non-gang-involved first-timer, I got placed on the lowest security rung. I got sent to what they call a PC (protective custody) camp which was a MinSec to serve my sentence. The food was better than almost any other institution I've been in (and I've been in several as a juvenile).
There were no gangs there so the camp was mostly white. I'll let you draw your own sociological conclusions on that fact.

It was easy doing time there. Probably too easy since I'm not really that afraid to go back. I would be to go to a MaxSec institution though. The stories I've heard are crazy, but you have to be something special to get maximum security.

Really, after 14 months, I met some really cool people, dealt with a lot of not so cool people, and had to pretend to tolerate some really uncool people.
It's loud all the time. You live in a space which has twice as many people as it was actually designed for (the prison was made to hold 600 inmates but had over 1100 at all times). You are in a 20 man dorm sleeping with 19 other various types of people, and this camp held about 60% sex offenders. It was a little creepy, but most of the guys I foud out were sex offenders were not you typical creep, in fact they seemed eerily normal. Some were real fucking creeps like this guy they called Catfish. Ugh... And this guy named Leisure who looked like he came right out of wrong turn 7.

You run into some interesting characters in there and the idiocy is overconcentrated. People there are mostly tweakers, creeps, drunks, junkies, and the likes. No gangbangers, inter-city hoodlums who are always trying to get over on whitey, etc. It's sweet to be white in that place.

Now I want to point out that even if you are a very open minded person, which I like to think of my self as, prison is a place that will make you intensely racist even if this view only stays with you while you are in prison. Everyone in prison is racist and the blacks are the worst about it. They have a fuck-whitey complex and they all hate white people for getting them locked up (even the ones with a sense of agency). People clique up and stick to their skin. It can be very safely assumed that if a black man tries to bargain with a white man, he's really getting robbed even though it might seem like an okay deal on the surface. IN fact, he's probably not even going to pay you back and "Well do something about it then, bitch! Beat my ass then, bitch ass honky!" if you don't like it. I hate to sound this way, but the shit they say about race in prison is 100% true, in fact probably under stated.

All that said, I learned how to speak a pretty good deal of Spanish. My first cell mate was Mexican and looked like a Mexican version of Mario. We were like Mario and Luigi, cos I'm a skinny little black haired Italian guy and he's a short fat Mexican with the stereotypical beefy mustache. Mexicans will get along well with anyone except blacks. Everyone in prison hates blacks, including other blacks. Explain that one.

Honestly all told, it was really mostly just lonely. I spent much of my time reading books on psychology, physics and electronics theory. After I got out, I really didn't even feel like I was locked up. The experience fades almost immediately when you walk out of the door. Kind of like something I think most of us are familiar with

I'm not saying it was a good experience. I got in a couple small fights, but nothing crazy. I got a black eye and I put another guy in a chokehold and dragged him around the room until he finally got a hold of my leg and dropped me then people broke us up. They don't want idiots making th block hot and getting the COs involved so they tend to try to break up fights when they get too conspicuous or tell you to take it to the shower or the bathroom where it's harder to see. There were more fights per unit time in county (also more blacks, and they were the ones fighting. Imagine that.)

So yeah, that was my little 14 month journey. There's not a lot else to tell.


TL;DR
I got locked up, sat around a bunch, hurried up and waited, got bullied by black people, learned spanish and made friends with Mexicans, then got out and pretty much forgot about it like it was only a dream.

That all sounds awesome, dude. You got locked up for the most unnecessary of reasons, and you've come out more cynical and racist than when you went in.

It really seems like there are no lessons to be learned here whatsoever. If I were you, I would make some more YouTube videos and then flap my gums like an imbecile to the cops again when they inevitably come knocking. It's easy time, right?

Carry on!

Cy6nu5, not to be "that guy" but they combed through your hard drive & somehow missed any information pertaining to your posts here?

I can see LEO not being super thourough in their searching & maybe missing that but something seems amiss here. Maybe due to the whole DXM mix up?
Are you certain it is safe for you to be here still being that you were busted before? At least without some extra security measures to cover your tracks?

i know what that means...........

my credentials always require max and private rooms.
its a matter of character.

I understand that different places and institutions have different cultures, but I'd like to relay this anecdote.

There was someone who I was loosely acquainted with but avoided due to him being a racist, he even had a swastika tattoo. He went to prison, I heard this story from him after he got out.

He was in some dark area where it was out of sight of the guards (like the showers you mentioned I suppose) and he was ambushed by a large group of black prisoners. They pulled out a joint and got him high.

He came out saying that he was an idiot for being a racist, and even had his swastika tattoo covered up.

I presume they were trying to find the video and proof that I had recorded it on a device I own. Either way I got all of it back.

Cynical and racist, not so much. I know that people only act that way because they're locked up. I grew to be much more patient. I don't react to stupid shit like that like I used to. People say stupid shit and I thank them for their time, tip my hat and move on with my day.
Thanks for your time
*hat tip*

You make excellent points here, but honestly if the thought doesn't enter your head "gee, what I'm doing is highly illegal" at least once while you're creating drugs in your house, then yeah... You deserve what you get.
Problem is, I didn't really care. Half the time before I got locked up I wanted to kill myself, so going to jail was the least of my concern. Really, I needed this experience to get my head out of my ass. It woke me up and showed me the road I was on.

The thing is, I knew what I was doing and I was being deliberately messy about it, out of pure sloth and laziness. It was a calculated risk and a gamble I lost because I made an enemy and a poor choice at putting up a "tutorial" on the internet and drawing unnecessary attention to myself.
Needless to say I won't be making DMT again, I'll suffice it to find it when it's around. I know people who know people.

You don't make DMT cause it's already made by the plant, you extract it.


Totaly not nexus's philosophy

i would like to ask,
if somewhere on the path , was there anything the "psychonaut community"
could have said or done, to get you to chill and be more responsible?

Have you read the original thread, "Adios, World."? I clearly remember, in the thread and in PM, warning OP to lawyer up and remain silent -- NOT to give authorities carte blanche evidence to prosecute. I remember Snozz singing the same song as well as others.

Of course, this is after the initial raid and a bit too late. However, if one spends some time in the forums they will see many areas of opsec covered as well as actions to take if/when under questioning from authorities.

Unfortunately, some people simply refuse to protect themselves while others blab their mouths any chance they get. Some of the behaviors learned before the psychedelic boom don't seem to absorb the YouTube Generations' psyche.

There was a great amount of very good advice given by any number of people here on any number of fronts, Anne. He just chose to disregard all of it.

oh i know he didnt learn the bad antics here.
this place is widely known to be pretty responsible.

its that open web where they go sour......
and, hes been honest enough to admit chancey arrogance in spite of warnings.

in this case, the OP pry couldnt be saved.
and there are limits to what we can do.

it is true some of the you-tubers arent grasping the risks and nuances of all this.



my thing on this is pretty simple,
we cant save em all, but it would be nice to save more.
what the OP learns is what the OP learns,
anything we learn from this, from all directions, might be a salvage.
