I've been on these forums for 3 years now mostly researching and studying as much as I can. I finally completed the questionnaire as I want to get more involved in the online community.

I have always held a special connection and respect for nature, and been drawn to entheogens plants of all types. I have been a member on the Shroomery forums and Sharetheseeds for some years as well and believe in the cultivation and protection of the sacred plants we all know and love.

Being a member on these forums has been as life changing as the psychedelic experience itself for me, and by getting more involved I hope to grow more and connect more with others who share similar interests and beliefs.

To everyone on here that has contributed to the vast amount of information and knowledge that is available I can't thank you enough.

I will end this post by saying that a DMT experience saved me from a long period of opiate and drug addiction, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Much love to you all!

Hey PsychedelicWizard!

Enjoyed reading your story. Glad to see that you have had such great experiences with psychedelics!

Can you give me a full list of the plants you're growing, including the non-entheogenic ones. I would really like that.

Also, some questions for you:

What was it that first got you interested in psychs?

What was your first experience with psychedelics?

Which psychedelic has been the most beneficial for you?

Really glad to have you here, I'm sure you'll be a great addition to the Nexus!

Welcome, brotha!

I first became interested in psychedelic when I was in 5th grade...I remember being and class when some people from D.A.R.E came in and they talked about LSD and how it made you see things, I remember talk of pink and purple elephants and instead of making me scared of the substance it just made me more curious.

At the time we had dial-up internet and AOL was like the main thing I was able to use, it wasn't until the summer of 8th grade that I stumbled upon erowid.org and began religiously studying all manner of psychoactive plants and fungi. I studied everything I could everyday, I still research to this day, the quest for knowledge is never ending, and ever growing.

My first psychedelic experience happened at a young age, It was summer time and school was out, me and a friend had already been regularly smoking cannabis, we met up with a girl we knew, she was older and had a car. She took us to some guys house for a small get together around a fire. It was about a 2 acre property, I hung out and got stoned with the people there, when suddenly this guy walks up to me, he introduced himself as the owner of the property and told me he was a heroin addict, and asked me and my friend if we wanted to get some, we decided one time couldn't hurt, so my friend left with him to go get some with the guy.

They got back and we both snorted a small amount, shortly after the owner came up to us and asked us if we liked mushrooms, our eyes got wide and full of excitement we both said that we had never tried them, but had done alot of research and really wanted too.

He hands us some flashlights and some brown paper bags and says he has his own private cow field that's lined with a sprinkler system and tells us to go pick as many as we can.

So we did, altogether we found and picked over 150 mushrooms...yes we actually counted them all. After picking we brought them back to the guy and he grabbed two of them and tossed them, said that the rest of what we picked was all psilocybin mushrooms and too have fun.

We split the amount evenly between the two of us, the mushrooms were relatively small aside from some medium sized Cubensis, I am not sure on fresh weight I just know we ate them all.

Anyway that was my introduction to psychedelics..

The psychedelic that has been most beneficial to me has been DMT, but I have a love for all natural psychedelics, and psychedelics in general.

I have done about 30 different psychedelics (natural and chemical) And I've tripped upwards of 300+ times

Of all my experiences the most valuable to me have been Ayahuasca (Changa, Tea, DMT individually vaporised), Mescaline, Mushrooms, and LSD.

Thanks for the questions, really picked my brain, it was quite enjoyable to take a Trip down memory lane

So good they named it three times

Interesting to hear your story, PsychedelicWizard - welcome to the Nexus!

You get my vote. Beautiful plants! Don't be shy about posting any progress with them, especially the hybrid seedlings!

Hi,

I am interested in any opinions about, and experiences of, how the use of opium derivatives interfaces with the use of psychedelics, if happening early in the experience of opium derivative use/abuse/misuse.

My observation in general, is that early recreational use of psychedelics alongside "slow", somehow modulates the whole experience of the habit, making it more receptive to a way out. However, I also know a man whose experience was of organised crime using LSD on purpose to deepen his addiction when he was still too young to realise what they were forcing upon him, and he became very adverse to psychedelics, but will likely need rely on if he ever quits his slow. Then there were many slow users relying upon the "fast" of amphetamines of any kind they could find, as if that were the way out of slow, . . .

O.K. though, you are not likely want to have to think all that through too far, but I have a feeling about something being possible with respect towards prescription drugs. And not yet familiar enough with this forum to know how I am going to approach the subject of relaying my thinking.

Welcome to the Nexus!

Awesome to be growing all those plants! Show more pics please!!

And thanks for sharing your story!

Here is some more pics of my plants
