What's up everybody
My name is Shizballs. I am a profound follower of Psychedelic science (big ups to MAPS & Beckley Foundation). Excited to finally be on here, just days after Oaklands landmark decision to decriminalize plant medicines.
A little bit about me, I grew up in what many would call a bad environment and quickly realized the very powerful positive impact that psychedelics were able to afford me. As the research started rolling in from Imperial College London (big ups David Nutt) and Johns Hopkins, my conviction and fascination with plant medicines only became further bolstered.
Since then, I have traveled far and wide to acquire and use plant medicines which could challenge me, heal me, and help me grow into the person I am now. My journey began with mushrooms, then some LSD, then I found father iboga (critically underrated plant- I've seen posts here tho, y'all know whats up
) and more recently really delving into higher dose mushrooms and finally ayahuasca/pharmahuasca.
At the start of this journey, I was a desperate, underprivileged Adderall dependent young adult. Today, I maintain a fairly high GPA in Biochemistry and am investigating getting a degree in psychiatry to pursue a career in Neuroscience/Neuropsychopharmacology research (hopefully on the front lines of psychedelics).
Big ups to 5HT-2A for making all of this possible. I'm off to read more of the rules and my welcome message
"'Psychedelic' derives from two Ancient Greek words, 'psyche' meaning mind or soul and 'delos' meaning reveal or manifest. The psychedelic experience is said to reveal aspects of the mind that are normally hidden."
