Hello all,

I'm very pleased to be a part of this community after reading it for many years. Whenever I've required information on DMT, or occasionally other substances, I've found the wealth of knowledge contained within this place to be most useful and I'm grateful to the people who have provided it over the years.

I joined yesterday in order to seek advice on my recent experience, which I posted in the other forum, however I thought it may be prudent to also complement it with a small introduction.

As stated in the other post, I'm late 20s, male, and I have been using psychedelics for around a decade. The breadth of my experience is with LSD, however I've dabbled in other psychedelic substances, such as mushrooms, 2C-B, some NBOMes (never again!), and obviously DMT. My experience with DMT was fairly limited - before the post I made yesterday - and I'm hoping to change that.

I originally got into psychedelics in my teenage years, just for fun, but I soon realised that they are a tool that can be used for much more than simple enjoyment. I credit a lot of my personal development to psychedelics - in particular my calm and relatively unflappable demeanour which comes in useful often in my daily life and work.

I have also struggled with anxiety and depression (thankfully, long in the past now) which subsided around the time I started using psychedelics seriously to aid meditation. Was it a coincidence? Impossible to know. I do know that if I go for some months without taking psychedelics, as I sometimes do, that I notice a slight dip in my mood. Completely anecdotal and unscientific evidence, but it makes sense to me and speaks to the promise of psychedelics in treating depression and anxiety, at least in my own personal experience (which may not apply to anyone else).

I know already that I am at home here with these views, which is most refreshing, as I do not associate with many people in 'meatspace' who are familiar with psychedelics.

I look forward to getting to know some more of the personalities within this forum and hope that I can contribute whenever I have the time to do so - not necessarily regularly - but as often as I can or need to.

Cheers x

Hello Sanista!

Welcome, thanks for the intro, and your write up about your experience.

I too got into psyches in my teenage years, to find for myself that these were beneficial substances. And I would say that the anecdotal evidence that psychedelics can help with depression is starting to pile up. I will swear by them, as would my wife. And I’m sure there’s a few more here As well.

Oh well, hi again!

There are so many of us here (myself included) that have found the beauty of mental health benefits brought about with psychedelic use and intention setting. I am glad you have too.

And welcome

One love

Welcome! Most of my personal growth is also due to psychedelics, along with a whole lot of luck and love.

Happy you're here and that you're looking for advice on your challenging experiences. I'll take the time to review your other thread soon, and provide some feedback.
