Hello everyone !

My name is Charlie, i'm 25 years old and i'm from France. I suppose it's not to much of a divulgation to say that, seeing there's more than 65 millions of us . It seems frenchies are pretty rare on the nexus (althought i have found some with a little searching), so it might be an interesting information; and now that you know that, you can be forgiving if my english is bizarre .

So... i have been interested in entheogenics for 3-4 years now, i don't remember exactly what started my interest. It was casual at first, some reading here and there, i was interested by the experiences of others. Over time, i wanted to experience it myself, for personal insight and growth.
I have taken pharmahuasca one time, and it's been a powerful experience (but i'm pretty sure not a breakthrough), not really pleasant and quite scarry at first, but now the scary feeling is behind me and i'm glad it happened.
After that i had a half handful of unsuccessful attempts at vaping freebase spice. I had some mild effects. I was disappointed by myself, i was probably doing something wrong and didn't knew what, it's difficult to learn this things "on your own".
And then i read some more and tried changa. For now i have tried 3 times, and had some powerful "sub-breakthrough" experiences. I already learned so much things from it that i'm amazed at the possibilities lying ahead of me.
From what i have read and from what i have experienced, i think i'm much more of a changa man (as opposed to DMT), because it feels so right to me (the changa is "gentle", and even when something bad happens, it seems to hold me and help me, i feel "safe", whatever that means), and it is exactly what i am looking for; an experience from wich i learn about myself and the world.

So i'm pretty much a newbie !
And i'm eagger to learn !

Experiences aside, i have been doing this fairly slowly, letting months pass between attemps. I believed i would never succeed and lost interest; plus i'm like this with a lot of things, switching between things i focus on (and i have a lot), which is a problem because i don't get anywhere (everything move forward very slowling).

But lately my interest in DMT and Changa has become more intense and regular, and i do want to put the time and effort in it. So my first move is to register here, learn from this wonderful community (that i have been already reading for some time), and give back everything i can.

In time, i want to grow my own plants, and extract them myself. I want to do everything myself because i think it's the better, most sincere and rewarding way.

One other thing that i suppose is uncommon. I don't drink alcohol, smoke or do any other substance like mj, shrooms... So i suppose it's rare to see someone go right to DMT without prior psychedelic experience (but i have a little experience now, and it feels like the right choice). It might be (a lot) harder for me to vape or smoke since i have no experience with this things. One the same level, i have no experience with the use of tools like pipe, bong, but i'm planning do experiment with things like mullein to get confortable (with both the tools and my lungs).

Feel free to give me any suggestions about "my course of actions" ^^

Voilà ! I don't know what to add (i hope it's not too long and boring ahah), i hope i will learn a lot with you teachers and i'm glad i'm here !

See you soon
Charlie
