It's important for me to understand why I do the things I do. It helps me grow. So, my question to you, is why do you smoke/vape/orally ingest DMT or in general, why do you do drugs and how have they changed you?

My first drug experience was smoking weed. I did it because I watched my friends do it and got curious and looked it up. I liked what I read so I decided to try it to see what the buzz was about.

I then tried DXM and mushrooms and it was the same case. I watched my friends take them and looked them up. I wasn't too interested in DXM but it was a nice bonding experience with my buddies. Same goes for the mushrooms, it was nice to chill with my friends and bond.

I graduated high school, grew up, and just stuck to weed for a few years. Randomly, I came across a study mentioning psychedelics as a "cure" for anxiety. I had some pretty bad anxiety that was only getting worse. Going to college, working, maintaining friendships, it all was adding up. I extracted my own DMT and it led down a rabbit hole of healing.

I tried a bunch of psychedelics and dissociatives to heal myself. The anxiety eventually faded but I was engrossed in this new mindset, it became more than just healing. I loved the way LSD allowed me to see my place in the universe, I loved how clear-headed the 2c-x's made me feel. I loved the dreamy state DCK put me in. I loved how DMT put me in a whole other reality.

My drug use started out as bonding with my friends to something I never saw coming. I feel like I'm at my peak and will be for the rest of my life. If it wasn't for drugs I would be in a shell that doesn't fit. I love who I've become and I'm so thankful I found these chemicals. I hardly touch them anymore but when I do they remind me I'm controlling my life and not the other way around.

yay, we can make this like a dmt aprecciation thread. I go to hyperspace to see the ultimate truth, represented visually as the ultimate coming together of things; the end of the way through the way. They smile, they are from somwhere else. And they greet me with their smiles...what poem can be written, how can the soul bear the bones of what it means to be in that presence, in a reality with its own texture and feeling, completley impossible to explain that feeling...its the least things you would expect to find...Oh god I thank you its the greatest thing to find after all this toil of living! Your knowledge fills me, oh your love lord...How can you be so incredible...

You can never know that exists without going there. You would never suspect it existed...its impossible, oh lord its impossible. Oh, you cant unsee the truth! its so impposible, its so unlikley, so intergalactic, so beyond everything--the ultimate joy and bliss....the greatest love...

Thank you hyperspace!😍 You make my day.

Started out curious of altered states of consciousness. I felt after my first trip that there was so much more behind this substance than letting on. Really I feel that it has helped me reconnect with the same sort of love and curiosity that you come into the world with. Every trip brings me closer to understanding and closer to a "me" that I want to see in the world.

How did you know it was awesome before you tried it? It might be why you continue to do it, but why did you try it?

Sitting here on a light dose of 2C-D listening to John Denver. It's beautiful. The music is taking me on a journey, my thoughts are flowing seamlessly. I've been productive all day, now it's time to relax. I saw a video of a man talking to a woman who was about to commit suicide, it made me tear up a bit. A lot of people ignored that woman, but all it takes is one to make a difference. Unfortunately for me, without drugs, I would have little to no empathy, but I'm growing more and more each day. I try my best to be helpful and positive to everyone whom I come in contact with. I wasn't always like this. Only because of drugs am I like this.

Because it’s healthy. Good ol vitamin DMT

I wanted a safe, otherworldly and spiritual experience. I found a bottomless well of artistic inspiration. Hyperspace itself is beyond words so it's hard for me to be perfectly clear on why I would want to go there again. There's that familiar feeling. If I have a higher dimensional self, that self feels that hyperspace is it's true home. If I don't it doesn't matter. The experience is the same.

Tapping into unknown territories and coming back with a tool to apply in "this" reality.
Or also to see how I was never using any tools correctly in the first place.

First it was out of desperation to deal with my depression that I found Ayahuasca and mushroom. Then it has become more of a revenue to connect the mystical, divine and unknown larger aspect/dimension of the universe. In a sense, it's both because healing seems like a byproduct when I am able to tape into the higher state of being...

I do psychedelics, and particularly DMT, to make me a better version of myself. The frequency I tune into on dmt is where my higher self resides, and it lets me hang out and chill with that badass for a while.
