Hi!
I'm totally new to DMT, never done it or even seen it in person. I am relatively experienced in psychedelics, I've done psilocybin twice, salvia twice as well, and LSD a couple dozen times. My interest in DMT is not new however it has always been a passive fascination. Recently, the prospect of making it has become far more intriguing to me, due mostly to losing my connection to LSD and the process of creating LSD being far more difficult. Though I should like to some day be able to do so as well, and no matter how amazing DMT is I doubt it will ever take the very special place of LSD for me. Also it is intriguing because I simply do not have the time for drugs which last multiple hours anymore. I work, raise a child, and go to school, my schedule simply will not allow for even mushrooms anymore.

There's not much to say about myself, I'm a father, a psychonaut, a music lover, and one day after I've finished my education I will be an engineer.

I joined this page because I don't feel comfortable doing this all for the first time without someone to bounce my concerns and questions off of. Also I feel I could surely meet nice people with like interests.

Talk to you guys soon I hope. I'm not sure when I will go forward with this process, hopefully soon, but I intend to learn much before attempting anything.

Welcome to the Nexus.

In my experience DMT is a process. The experience may last a few minutes, but you carry it with you. Integration can take time and some effort, in the sense that you stop and think about the trip and accept whatever may need acceptance to make it part of you.

Just something to keep in mind. If you are so busy right now that you can't do a mushroom trip, DMT may not be what you are looking for. On the other hand it might be. Just something to keep in mind.

When I get very busy at work or life I tend to set psychedlics (including DMT), books, and even excersie aside. It's not healthy for the mind and body I guess, but I need to feed the family too. Once I catch up and are in "routine" mode I explore the "higher" pursuits of contemplating conciousnes and beauty.

I think I'm going to trip more often after I retire and the kids are out of the house. I'll probably get a Buddhist robe too...

I understand this, I don't intend to use it before work or while my kid is napping. My intention would be to use it at the end of the day, when my daughter is in bed and I don't have anything to do till morning. I understand that I can't anticipate what I will feel and learn from DMT, so perhaps this is arrogant to say, but having used as much salvia and LSD as I have I don't anticipate being incapacitated by the mental load for long enough to be a problem.

Also it's never too early to start wearing a robe.

Sounds good. Best of luck in your travels. Will be good to hear back.
