SWIM has been experimenting with various psychedelics for roughly six months. It's funny how anti-drug propaganda claims involvement with such substances will inevitably ruin one's life and make them become a total menace to society, while SWIM's use of psychedelics has caused the following:

- increased interest in nature and philosophy
- increased interest in reading
- increased sense of self-purpose
- reevaluation of political views and religion
- decreased interest in alcohol and the "party scene"

Simply stated, psychedelics have caused SWIM to think a lot more.

A friend of SWIM's recently introduced SWIM to DMT. He was knowledgeable and generous, eager to share this amazing thing (that he, himself had discovered not too long ago). SWIM quickly detected there was something very special about DMT as the attitude surrounding it seemed to be extremely different than any other drug.

SWIM did some research himself and liked what he found. It seemed DMT users took their DMT experiences very seriously, using it sort of as a psychonautic tool, as opposed to taking it to get intoxicated. That was one of the things that frustrated SWIM the most about the psychedelic "scene" around him. It seemed that the majority of people were using psychedelics for the wrong reasons or just not truly appreciating them i.e. they would they describe their experience by saying something like "OMG dude I was trippin' balls for like 12 hours. I saw so many crazy colors and shit." And that would literally be the extent of what they got out of their trip (as opposed to SWIM, who experienced everything described above). Granted, SWIM had a few friends with similar perspectives/motives and SWIM developed close bonds with those friends.

A few days later, SWIM's friend offered him DMT. It took SWIM several attempts but he eventually had his first true DMT trip. It was probably the most intensely beautiful, overwhelming, joyous experience of his life. SWIM felt as if he got a glimpse into a vast, glorious multi-dimensional universe entangled deep down in the fabric of his subconscious. In the interest of brevity, a more detailed account of SWIM's trip may be described later on. But I heard all this stuff about SWIM and developed an interest myself. That is why I am here

Welcome and yea for sure psychedelics will do that for you, I am Very glad To see That you have respect for DMT and take it more seriously, That kind of attitude will Get you were ever you wanna be.

Looks like you have a fairly good idea why after all!!

Welcome to the nexus. Sounds like you'll fit right in - this is the place where these substances, and DMT particularly, are taken seriously and regarded with the respect warranted. Glad to have you around.

In my opinion the biggest drawback to psychedelic usage could be a withdrawal from society....but just as often they reconnect you to society. The danger I believe arises when you start waking up while simultaneously realizing that the society you live in is very much asleep. The goal then is to not become so disgusted with your society that you want no part in it....I have danced on that border a few times myself. The remedy however is dead simply...discontinue usage for while.

Good Luck...be safe.

Yep, or that's what it turns into. great into.

Yes, I've noticed psychedelics invoke strong transcendentalist-like spirit. And perhaps, some archaic nostalgia, as suggested by Terrence McKenna. And while I, thoroughly enjoy embracing this primordial subconscious, I believe it plays into both the disconnect from society and disapproval of authority.

You're already on the road to going NUTS. Somebody shut him up!

Welcome to the nexus. Delve deep, embrace, love the journey.
