Hello everyone.
I little about me, the relevant bits anyway. I'm 23, living in the UK. Moved to Bristol about 4 years ago, for those of you not from the UK Bristol is the best city we have that I know of.
The seed of curiosity for mind altering substances was planted when van came to my school an taught us not to be. I sparked an independent interest when my cousin told me he had smoked some weed, I thought if he had smoked it and seemed relatively sane then maybe what I had been taught was wrong. After doing a lot of reading online I realised that you don't end up in a straight jacket from smoking, and realising that drugs are mainly illegal for political reasons I knew I'd have to teach myself about them to get the facts.
I started getting high at about 16, first tried mdma at 18 and I remember being amazed at how a little pile of rocks completely changed the way I saw the world, I wondered if other drugs could be as mind blowing. After this I tried ketamine and realised that they can be weird as well. The first time I tried a true psychedelic I was a bit over cautious, 1.5g of shrooms was nice but a little underwhelming considering all the trip reports I had read. The next time we had 10g of dried cubensis between 3 of us, it was one of the most bizarre and amazing nights of my life. Since it was my first trip I was laughing solidly throughout but about half way through I went to get something from another room and remember suddenly being faced with a choice.
It was like my vision was split 50/50 left to right and there were two paths to choose from, the left path which was sunny and fun looking, or the right path which was dark and ominous. I understood that if I took the right path I would be diving into my mind and into a less fun but potentially more enlightening trip, or if I took the left path I could carry on the trip as it was, laughing an just enjoying the psychedelia. I was tempted to take the opportunity I had been given, and go right but I was having too good a time with my friends and I knew there would be other chances, so I chose the left path. I was very grateful of the fact that I was given a choice, I was well aware that I could been taken down any path regardless of what I wanted.
Skip forward a few years and here I am. I've been up and down, learned a lot about myself but I've still got a lot more to do, my favourite drug now is LSD after one beautiful experience. Its strange, since my trips with LSD turned more introspective I don't usually have a desire to trip but I know when its time. Usually its about 3 months but I think my last trip was in august, I believe that introspective trips should be fed with reality, and time to really contemplate what happened in the one before.
I'm joining here because I only got to try DMT recently and am just now realising how amazing it is.
Peace and love
