Let me start by saying that what you guys are doing here is fantastic and needs to be done. It will never change any other way. People like yourselves can do great things in the world. My only concern is this. In a lot of posts in the forum people talk of not drawing unwanted attention to this board. It pretty much flies under the radar unless you actively seek it. With something like CEL you could and probably will bring attention to people who will otherwise never have heard of it. Once you start to make headway and actually start to create change the people that like it the old way are not just going to back down and let it go. I would hate to see a beautiful place like this shut down. Like I said it has to be done but I had to state my one fear.
Cheers.
Who is the public?
My father is a very open minded person to who i can talk about psychedelics. He loves sci-fi, Von Daniken, surreal art, etc etc
He is VERY interested in the subject and has heard all i have to say about psychedelics.
A very close friend of mine is a smart and nice guy, he is just your regular joe, nice job, wife, friends, family etc. Back in the days we tripped allot on mushrooms. But he lost interest many years ago. He is NOT interested in the subject but also has heard all i have to say about psychedelics.
Both these persons are very open minded towards me. But still, both have
no good idea what i am talking about so passionately. For them it is scary somehow. They do not want life changing events. They have job, resposibilities, etc etc. They like alcohol, which they still do not see as a drug, despite my countless attempts to rationaly explain to them alcohol IS a drug.
In my opinion CEL should more carefully select an audience to be succesful at getting the right (fitting) message across.

Good point.
But the link between a new site and the nexus would still be obvious. What if those originaly (and perhaps 'only'
interested in CEL take a look at the nexus?

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
