Welcome to official membership,

.
Wow, you certainly have been lurking a long time. If you have been a regular lurker, you have seen that things have changed and evolved quite a bit since those heady days around 2010.
I am sorry you have had such a difficult journey. I would counsel caution with anything that is even mildly psychologically addictive and the Shulgin approach to dosing anything psychedelic. Specifically, I would recommend starting at a very low level then gradually, over a period of multiple experiences and time, slowly titrate up until you find a sweet spot.
So, have you tried DMT yet? Done your own extraction? If so, what did you think? If not, any future plans?
Regardless, I'm glad you signed up and hope you find what you are looking for.
Greetings "Pandora", thank you for taking the time to respond to my introduction essay.
Indeed!
I appreciate the empathy and appropriate insight pertaining to relationship to plants. I started with 50mg day 1, 100mg day 2, and around 500mg on day 3. I appreciated each one of these dosage levels finding a 'break-through' type experience for myself on the third. I wrote a bit on it last night which I may share in the future.
I have! I did not do my own however I made a good friend who did it well. This was around the time I was simultaneously working with psilocybin and san pedro. I found the experience challenging due to my fear however found changa (which came to me a few years later) much more suitable. I did 'find' Aya a couple of years after the change enjoying 5 ceremonies which were rich, challenging (an understatement), beautiful, divine, cathartic, healing, and all of those fun things.
As I sit now here now in reflecting on this trajectory which I have yet to for some time I realize that a breakthrough dose of DMT could be rewarding from a different angle in life.
Have you worked with syrian rue yourself? Have you ever worked with it alone? How about DMT, and salvia? I'm compelled to work with salvia again in the future in the more traditional format as opposed to extractives as I found the smoking method to be shall we say... jarring? :-D
Thank you and take good care. May all find what they seek-desire in their lifetimes.
