Hey

My name is Sally and obviously, I have just joined the forum!

I am a student of religious studies and my interests lie in the use of entheogens. My undergraduate dissertation compared Ayahuasca experience reports with mystical experiences of non-entheogenic religions. I am currently writing a thesis which considers endogenous dimethyltryptamine and the origins of religion. (It doesn't go down well with my theologian teachers!)

I have been floating around the DMT nexus for a few months now, reading various discussion topics and decided it was probably time I signed up! Many of your posts have been very insightful to me and I'm sure they will continue to do so.


Much love,
Sally

Sounds lke it would be a interesting read, you should post a link or something on the nexus

Welcome to nexus sally

Welcome to the Nexus!! What entheogens have you tried? Any extractions?

Hello

I've had my fair share of entheogens, but my personal experiences don't play any role in my research. I have to maintain a certain amount of objectivity unfortunately.

I'll admit I have never taken DMT (intentionally that is ) maybe I will one day. I have read so many experience reports that I'm a bit scared by it lol. I'm a wimp, I know.

Hopefully, when the paper is written, submitted and marked it will be available in university libraries and maybe published, all being well. We shall see

Thanks for your quick replies and warm welcome!

Hey eyorca, nice to meet you too
Yeah, I study at a religious university, where the theology department is one of the best in the country. Some teachers are all go for the topic idea and some think I'm a total wierdo. Personally I think they need to grow up, open their mind a bit more and stop being so quick to judge. LOL.
Plants of the Gods is a very good book, nice choice

I hope we meet on chat sometime soon, that would be nice
Have a lovely day xxx
