Hello there!

I'm not too sure what to put in an intro but here goes: I'm 18, male, and from sunny England! I'm fairly new to the world of entheogens; I have experience with drugs from when I started smoking cannabis aged 15 (yes I agree it was too young), which then progressed to a lot of experimentation with chemicals I'm not too proud of... However after a lot of 'party' drug use I began to realise I could not keep up the lifestyle (at least not almost daily) as my anxiety levels were going through the roof.

My first experience with LSD completely changed my view on drugs. Stood on a mountainside in Wales, I saw the world for what it was, I felt incredibly happy (but not the artificial endorphine overload happiness of MDMA), just a lovely sense of peace and understanding. It also reinforced my previously held view of the importance of fractals!

After this experience, my drug use became much more about peace, happiness and understanding. I still occasionally use MDMA in moderation for a psytrance party here and there, and smoke cannabis most days (a mellow strain, skunk tends to affect me negatively). As you all know it's mushroom season at the moment and I'm lucky enough to be nearby a perfect picking spot, and this has already been taken advantage of! I am becoming increasingly interested in psychedelics and this forum seems a perfect place to discuss them, so hello to all, looking forward to getting to know you!

Peace x
