Hello all! I have been quite an avid reader of this great website for quite some time now, although i have only just recently registered. Along with the history of their use, I am very interested in using psychedelics and entheogens for internal and spiritual development. Since the age of 12 I have been fascinated by the religions of the world. Although I agree with many Buddhist and Hindu views, i can't call myself part of those religions. After reading some of Terrence McKenna's books and hearing almost all of his interviews i decided to dive into the world of spiritual growth through the shamanic use of psychedelic plants.
SWIM have not yet had the privilege to try DMT but he is currently in the processes of extracting it from MHRB. SWIM has done mushrooms 5 times and LSD once. He doesn't intend to do much LSD because he has found from his trip that it is not what he is looking for in terms of exploring his spirituality but is more of a recreational drug. He does think other people can use it in a helpful way but it is just not right for him. SWIM greatly enjoys the experience that mushrooms gives him. Ever since his use of them, he has noticed a greater respect for other's views even if he disagrees with them.
I hope to be an active and helpful participant in the DMT community. I tend to put a lot of thought into my posts and try to always respect others with conflicting views.
Thank you!
