Well, I'm the new guy...
I have "almost" no experience with psychonautics, but I have a quite clear impression of what it "is".
I don't have experience, since everytime I tried in my past, all my friends were like really, really blasted away, some different place and I was just sitting there and giggling about them going weeeeee...
The only real change I could ever notice was some intensified sound and light reception, moving light trailed and faded in the rhythm of the heartbeat.
So then, about 17 years later and constant "endulgery" in a widely assorted selection of physical as well as nonsphysical sciences, I came to the impression, that our profs and docs are mostly utterly wrong and those guys running around with "a few leaves for undies" are far closer to what actually is happening here. And there. Yep, there.... I wanna go there as well, although I know, that "there" is not expressable with any kind of physical words or expressions. And since I just want to move a bit further in my current stage of enlightenment, I gotta go visit those realms as well, since I never was there.
So completely disregarding of my prior experience with "psychonauatical rocketships", I learned how to brew my own Ayahuasca.
Well, the taste was, well, weird^^
No pukery, no gurgling stomach, no diarrhea, I felt just perfect, but after one and a half hours, I stopped "waiting", since I again had only very feint visuals, nothing more.
Ok, rinse and repeat, this time remember what my doc said: I have to overcome my utterly overtuned metabolism, which reproduces MAO faster than Aya's MAOIc can inhibit it.
So basically I doubled the dosage of everything.
Is this viable, or will it push me over so far, that I might forget my body over here?
I'm not afraid of having a bad "journey", I'm more concened about overdosing with MAOIs and, well, leaving a corpse on my bed, not that anyone would really miss me, lol

*jk
OK, next thing:
Since I'm fond and good with chemicals, I tried something funny/weird/maybestupid with some excess chaliponga leaves and it went funny, since I didn't have al the ingredients...
I simply crushed the leaves and put them together with IPA to wash out all what's inside.
Warmed it up to exactly 80°C to speed up the "salvation" and evap the IPA.
Well, then I realized that I actually should have continued reading how to extract stuff with oils and alcohols, but well, you know, sometimes, old habits push themselves through, and you do the same nonsense as before^^
Now, I have this green, oily stuff.
Can I do something to save the mess somewhat or should I just give the goo back to earth?
(I already have found an unchemical extraction way for DMT and already ordered stuff...)
Something about ME:
I'm currently extremely confused and angry, since my "old world" completely broke apart. The scientific basics of my dearest interest were shattered over night, and not within a small field, no several sciences have been deemed obsolete and simply wrong.
Materialism issues...
I already accepted the "new paradigms", since they are really easy to understand and, well, funnily, all of their "theoretical claims" are actually not only provable, no, they already were proven, several times, but, well, people don't listen, don't see, they just turning in circles, parroting each other without even faintly knowing, what they are talking about, and I had to let such people BS me, with even more illogical nonsense.
So 3 years later, about 9 friends "lost souls" lighter, I got rid of all my useless gadgets and gimmicks, that are just useless conglomerations of atoms, wow.
And I continue venturing into areas of knowledge, this time, the knowledge people used for far longer than we think we are doing proper science.
I'm absolutely open for everything, that doesn't willingly harm.
So I'm letting go of all this unbalanced stuff and yeah... DO AS THE OLDEN DID

I think a can safely say, that all those dozends of millenia those naturals endulge in the other side didn't kill them or make them nuts.
In the contrary, they live a life in balance and harmony, one just has to see and accept it.
If we think we have it easy with out "technolore"... well cause a bit of technical confusion, and everthing breaks down and noone can bring it up again.
This can't happen with them, since they don't apply all theese gadgets.
Those toys gave us just more time for beeing our very own slaves.
And seeing all those documentaries about Ayahuasca for example, disn't just give me an impression, no, my mind told me, that's the real thing!
It is really spreading, woohoo

So even without "insighting" me with the help of the nice spirits, I turned from a materialist into a well balanced guy, that tries,no, wants to see both worlds, since we are the only creatures in the whole universe, that are constantly locked on the edge between two realms, and having the ability to push one completely to one or the other side.
Uh, wow, rereading it... Lol, completely mixed up, but, hah, another expression of my confusion and "anger".
I, uh, just wanted to say "hi!" ^^
Hi!

So my bed becomes a launchpad for a rocketship called mind, which is fueled with DMT and it's course is set to eternal infinity of everything?
I am most intrigued... (tbc)
