So, I have been lurking here at the nexus for some time, well over a year before I joined. Since joining I have continued to procrastinate when it comes to posting and writing an introduction. I have found making my first post at a forum to be somewhat intimidating, I don't want to screw up, ya know?
I've been using or abusing one type of drug or another for most of my adult life, at more than one point in my life I completely lost everything. These days I don't do the drugs that took so much from me, I smoke pot and drink, and when I get a craving for something harder, I just trip instead. I have been using psychedelics usually once a month or so to help control the itch when I get it, for about 4 years now and it has worked wonders for me. I am at this point in my life better off and more fulfilled than I have been in over a decade.
About a year and a half ago while surfing the internet, I stumbled upon DMT and the process of extracting it. I became instantly enthralled, an affordable way of obtaining a psychedelic, without dealing with shifty dealers or an even shiftier gray market vendor. I read every tek on extracting MHRB or ACRB I could find on the net. I made sure I had a thorough understanding of the chemistry involved(my chemistry knowledge is still very basic at best) and I planned my own extraction using the knowledge I had gathered.
A year ago I Removed my first batch of ACRB(2 kilos) and got to work. Since then I've performed numerous ACRB extractions and have been extremely successful. With average yields of 2%. I have used a method similar to thick lights tek and it has worked for me well.
My experiences with DMT have all been smoked freebase, and I have had some amazing breakthroughs. I have yet to experience anything I would call spiritual, but there does some to be some kind of special magic to this substance that keeps me coming back. My first experience was terrifying, but since then they have all been euphoric and unexplainably beautiful.
I look forward to being able to talk with others who are as interested in this substance and its extraction as I am. I have gained quite a bit of useful experience and a bunch of cool extraction photos over the last year and I am eager to share with like minded individuals.
