Welcome
I like that you seem to have knowledge and experience. It can be of great value to the community if its used to contribute.
Though there's a couple of things call my attention in your introduction that I would like to comment on.
Regarding the failed extraction, I hope next time it works out. But it makes me wonder, how comes you didnt use enough NaOH in an extraction and yet you know how to synthesize dmt from scratch? Was it from lack of supplies, or you just didnt know how much to use, and if not, how comes not?
Indeed exploring the other levels that our consciousness can experience is an incredible tool for existential questioning (though its also interesting how there is no answer, or there are several ever-changing answers).
Im a bit at odds with the final statement. I understand that if one does have a certain degree of experience, then coming to a forum that one has to introduce himself to become a part and somehow show others your value can be a bit weird. But its also important to maintain a certain humbleness, no? I mean, if this is a good community and you are a good person, things will flow well, independent of you 'warning' us that it would be our problem. And if we are a strange community that dont realize your hypothetical value, then indeed it will be our loss, and saying that will neither change anything.
These were just some thoughts that came to my mind, im sure you'll see I just mean constructively and showing some of the inquisitive nature that I think also reflects (or should reflect) this community's attitude. Question everything, including (and specially) ourselves
