Hey Nexus!

This seems like a good place to make my first post here on the forums. I've always been interested in the lesson learned as opposed to the colors and beauty of the trip provided. Don't get me wrong, I welcome the colors with open arms, but I think it can distract us from the meaning behind what we're seeing.

I've been experimenting with entheogen's deliberately since I was a teen and have made it a point to educate myself on whatever it is that I'm ingesting. I believe in doing things properly, set and setting are paramount. I think if we want to have a half a chance of being able to use these substances legally, we need to lead by example by using them responsibly (weighing doses, increase doses slowly, extract product safely, proper ventilation, etc).

I love life. I love the individuals around me. I have shitty days, but I try to think of the why it's shitty and what makes my day okay. I don't know really. Life is a lesson and I think we can learn from the simplest gestures or random things that happen around us everyday (animals interacting with each other, the way a drop of water sends a ripple in a puddle, etc.).

I'm glad to be here and intend to learn everything I can.

Thank you for reading, amigos

Welcome to the Nexus!

Seems like you have a good attitude about psychedelics!

What substances did you try so far? Any particular preferences?

What kind of setting do you like to take these substances in?

See ya around!

Hey Endless, thank you for the warm welcome!

Let me answer your questions in order:

1. They're powerful and have taught me some serious lessons about life so I approach them with respect.

2. Alcohol, Tobacco, Nitrous, Cannabis, DXM, Salvia, Kratom, Codeine, MDMA, Phenibut, Adderall, Aniracetam, Pericetam, Cocaine, Vicodin, Norco, Percocet, Psilocybin, LSD, 4-HO-MET, and DMT.

-Don't want to do again: Tobacco, Nitrous, DXM, Salvia, Aniracetam, Pericetam, Kratom, Cocaine, Percocet, and 4-HO-MET.

-Nice here and there, but don't care if they stay or go: Alcohol, Cannabis, MDMA, Phenibut, Adderall, Codeine, Vicodin, and Norco.

-Preference: Psilocybin, LSD, and DMT.

3. I like to take my preferred substances in a controlled and comfortable environment that I trust. I like to have my phone and tv off, but I do like to have a playlist of chill/meditative/uplifting music for the duration of the trip if possible. (I don't look at them as party drugs, I don't do it for laughs, I don't use it to forget or get away from my problems).

Thanks again amigo
