It's ironic that I've been part of all sorts of online communities and it's this one, with interests outside "the law" overflowing with mature discussion. Without keyboard warriors, flame wars and the like.
Was once given acid at a wedding of all places. Was too drunk to remember much. Only clue I had taken it was the hotel ceiling lapping against the wall like the sea the next day.
Once took mushrooms and saw the world as a world. Not just a collection of man-made buildings with a blue back drop. This feeling stayed with me for a very long time. If I could, would definitely go about renewing this.
One sub-breakthrough DMT trip which I'll go into detail in another post.
But who am I? A bloke in this 30's a very changeable person. Love learning new things. The sort of person who loses their accent after working in another country. I've believed there must be a god, been militant atheist, then thought actually Dawkins is wrong. Some people achieve great things by believing in a greater power. Some by believing no god is coming to save them it's down to themselves. I speculate one day someone will use DNA to predict which side of the fence you're on. One thing that has remained throughout is a fondness of Buddhism. "Buddhism Plain and Simple"
Steve Hagen excellent read. removes all the cultural trappings only presenting the subject at core principles.
What do I expect find in DMT? If I only wanted to get extremely high there's probably better ways to do it. I'm approaching this with extreme curiosity. A million questions and from what I've read I'll probably have a million more for each one answered if any.
Have read a number of times where people received what might be new information in hyperspace. If true then WOW just WOW. Of course someone also explained how information may feel like new because of some chemical stuff going on (will link here when I have time to find it again).
A few concerns is that my life and livelihood are closely linked to the consumption of booze. With meat on the side. Already thinking how would I explain a change to vegan T-totaller to friends and family. What if my work starts to bother me? In any case neither reason would make me consider not exploring DMT.
Other than the above I'm a father, started learning guitar a few months ago, a gamer, I like a bit of self-experimentation expect to hear about the Wim Hof method at some point. My other half is unfortunately stubborn believing that if politicians rule something illegal then it must be wrong without question

Look forward to contributing in whatever way I can.
