Hello everyone, I am runyaden. I've been interested in psychedelics and entheogens for quite a while. A few years ago, I was really into lucid dreaming and ordered some Calea zacatechichi because I had heard it aided the process. This was really my introduction into this world. Since then, I've mainly explored with cannabis, Calea, Nelumbo nucifera (lotus stamens) and a few minor oneirogens. My interest in Calea eventually brought me to ayahuasca. I tried brewing it myself once and failed because the vendor did not give me actual chacruna, but I was too naive to check. Ended with just a bad-tasting, vinegar mess.
After my failure with ayahuasca, I still desired to have one truly profound psychedelic experience. That is when I discovered freebase DMT. I shoveled information into my face as fast as I could and, before I knew it, I found myself equipped with the knowledge and supplies to extract. My first extraction went pretty well with a few minor mishaps because I coincidentally didn't have running water. Unfortunately, however, I didn't get crystals, so I was disappointed, but I used the goo in a pipe and broke through after a few tries.
Now I sit here, writing this introduction essay and incredibly happy to find myself a part of this amazingly wise and friendly community. I cannot wait to delve deeper, learn as much as I can, and hopefully give back to the community.
