Hi to all,
I'm spanish, so first of all I must apologize for the many grammar mistakes you may find across this text and the future ones. I'll try my best.
I'm a northern lady from a wonderful region in Spain. I live in a beautiful town next to a forest and was born in one. My life has constantly orbited around plants and nature.
I can see many of you here are experienced chemists and have extensive knowledge on the extraction topic. I'm such a newbie, but how exciting does all of it sound! I honestly can't wait to learn more. I'm a teacher, more precisely a Montessori teacher. This method brings an opportunity to the children to explore all of their abilities, to understand who they are and what they like, to feel stuff before getting the abstract idea of it (Montessori's approach to maths was called psychoarithmetics and psychogeometry). Her understanding of how children should experience the world is just pure common sense mixed up with an exquisite intelligence. I wish every human had the opportunity to grow this way.
Being a teacher who promotes self-learning experiences and scientific minds...I never looked down on drugs. Although never abused too much of them, just used them and experienced. Unlike the rest of drugs I've tried, DMT is a gift we have on this planet. I see it this way. How did I found about it this late? I first tried it one year ago. The first time I didn't breakthrough but somehow it left me with a feeling of relief for months. I experienced a new peace of mind that was unprecendent on me. It took me another month to try again and this time I went to hyperspace...or this is what I think. I have read the lexicon and found out I wouldn't be sure how to describe my trips, or if I did really experience breakthrough.
The first one it was a physical massage, I laughed until I cried while I was presented with some tarot cards. Always with a black background. I think they were trying me to loosen up a bit so that's why I laughed so hard. This time I didn't lose track of my body but it was a very deep and pleasant experience. I could see bright primary colors subdividing one time and another, but just Cyan, Yellow and Magenta. A woman's profile and to be honest I hardly remember more about it.
I tried it some other times. One of the most beautiful experiences was when I was lying on my,bed, daylight on a summer afternoon. I just vaped twice to get the nice feeling but didn't want to breakthrough. My hands clapped together and my arms rose next to my face, suddenly I hear myself chanting in my head: "Santa Madre Ayahuasca", several times until I literally sang it out loud. My hands were moving towards my belly button and I felt as if this sort of ritual could be healing a possible damaged organ.
The only time I,might have experienced a breakthrough was last new year's eve. Some friends gathered and we all smoked altogether. It was somehow a beautiful ceremony. First I was taken to some mayan temple and it felt as if I traveled through time and space with a fox or coyote friend. Everything was earth color. All was morphing so quickly I couldn't enjoy at all it was a baaaaam! Too fast experience. We used a Mighty vaper and a full tank of Changa. We might have used a bit too much? I still have to learn a lot on this.
The rest of the times I tripped in my backyard, with eyes opened. I have apple trees. Those trees are truly magical when seen on DMT. Grass was moving and vibrating. All was a million times brighter, rain sounded like one single drop at a time. Although with open eyes it is an incredible feeling, I much prefer the depth of the closed eyes experience. I never felt afraid of it. Only one time I didn't mind carefully the set and setting and got sort of 'kicked out'. Not only I didn't feel much but I got a feeling of swords pointing at my neck. I wasn't feeling scared after this I just got it was not the time for me that day.
All in all DMT is a mystery to all of us and this makes it extremely interesting. I wish to learn everything I can about it and I'm really happy to have found this site.
P.S. Here in Northern Spain there are a few kinds of Acacias. Can DMT be extracted from any acacia or it has to be specific ones?
