It is a pleasure to join this forum, and I'm very hopeful in having intellectual enlightened discussions with such kind and welcoming people that appear to be on this forum. I'm a former marijuana smoker, but I have been trying to correct myself and reach a higher level of consciousness. My interest in DMT is not as a substitute trip or any such thing, I am trying to learn more about the pineal gland and DMT release as a whole since I have not yet experienced a breakthrough. I wish to use it as an aid to my meditation and to discover DMT and the universe as a whole more thoroughly. I hope you will accept me with open arms. I look forward to learning more and having great discussions with all of you!
