I don't even know where to start, so I suppose the best place would be the beginning.

The story spans the entirety of my life, but I'll try to keep things simple lest I risk presenting only boredom. My earliest years were spent in the care of my grandmother, and my Pentecostal minister grandfather. As such, religion was paramount in our lives, and I came to know more of the bible by the time I was five than most of the bible thumpers I've encountered in the years since. As a natural seeker of knowledge, it was only a matter of time until I began questioning what had been a fundamental cornerstone of my life. This was around the age of puberty, and considering it's not unusual for teens to rebel against their authority figures, it shouldn't be surprising that this was reflected through religious beliefs.

I "dabbled" into Wicca for a bit, but quickly came to question the truth of what I was reading. This lead to Qabalah, which I believe to be the closest religion has brought me to finding the answers I sought. I then truly discovered the mystical joys, and harsh lessons of the entheogens.

Upon having a fun and slightly spiritual experience with psilocybin, I became obsessed with the mushroom. After seeking them out to little avail, it became clear that if I wanted to return to that state, I'd have to take matters into my own hands... cultivation became my hobby. I became active in the shroomery forums, and there learned the ways of the mushroom cultivator. The journeys I've experienced through the highs and lows of my psyche have left me at what I believe is the brink of some greater understanding. At the very least they've allowed me the briefest glimpse into the mind of a higher power.

This brings me to the present. It has been a almost a years since my last trip into the void, I've spent the time reflecting on life, and I feel the next step is approaching. I'm here to learn what I can about the spirit molecule, and hopefully gain the knowledge and the courage to gaze full on into the mind of what I can only consider God.

Welcome to the Nexus!

So did you check the wiki/extraction teks yet? Any that calls more your attention?

Are you more interested in vaporized or oral use of dmt?

Did mushrooms change in any way your ideas about life? How?

See ya!

Actually, I found out about this place in a post on the shroomery forums regarding "The Lazy Man's Tek". The ease with which I can acquire the reagents paired with the short time frame draw me in that direction. I was reading a post on the "water only" experiment, which I find interesting as well.

Life becomes busy, new people come into our lives, it's hard to find the time to devote to an 8 hour mushroom trip. This is one of the ways I feel DMT calling to me. As such, I feel vaporizing will be the answer for me in that respect.

Wow... that last one... Mushrooms have changed my life in fundamental ways, I feel like a completely different person than I was a few years ago. I've also gained a greater understanding of myself, I've been faced with the masks I've worn, and the lies I've told myself for so long. In short, mushrooms helped me find peace where there was chaos, sort of a union between my ego and my id.

Welcome to the Nexus. I hope that you find what you are looking for and that you are able to contribute to others with your own wisdom.






If I may offer a very important suggestion. Take lots of time to integrate. Dont be in a hurry. Be careful what you wish for. Mushrooms and DMT have the ability to create chaos where there once was peace and divide the ego and the id. Integration...... Itegrate your experiences. Integrate.

It's been a while since my original post, an update is in order.

I've settled on the STB "Lazy man's tech". I've procured the NaOH and a canister of Naphtha. Now all that's left is to put the order in for my GVG and a bit of powdered MHRB.

On a side note, I've become obsessed with Terence McKenna and have been frantically researching his lectures and theories... the man has put into words ideas that were merely convoluted, obscure, tip of the brain feelings... I feel like I've been on the precipice of some greater understanding and it's as if he took what I couldn't explain and lays it out in cohesive, easy to understand theories. This has brought me to tears several times in the last few weeks.

To those who read this, thank you for doing your part in confirming my existence.
