One year ago today, I performed my first extraction. It was the start of a beautiful journey. Here now, a year later, I have learned a lot about myself and the inner workings of my mind. I’ve learned so much about wonderful, magical plants. And I’ve learned how to be a better human. And it’s thanks to this wonder community. Cheers!

Cheers on that!
We are legion

Woooooooooooo

Happy extraction birthday

Hooray for Metta!! Hooray for the Nexus!! Brotherhood of hyperspace forever!

This community had certainly changed me. This has been one of the pivotal eras of my life. Like those fresh outta school years. I feel like Ive moved from a young adult-man child, to the fully blossomed man flower that stands here today. Next stop, grumpy old tree!

Coincidentally, I’m doing my first mescaline extraction this weekend!🌵🌵🌵

Eyy, mine too! ... In about 5 months.
Best of luck to you in the future!

I’m far from one of the old souls that have been apart of the community for years, but just in the 10 months I’ve been a member, I’ve seen a lot of new members that started their journeys in a similar fashion as me. And have the same awe and wonder about this molecule as I did. And I can see myself settling into the “advanced amateur” that others had been when I started, about a year into their journeys. A sort of pattern that dmt has with (on?) people. Any old dogs wanna chime in on this perspective. Someone who’s been in this dance for a decade or more?

hip hip hurray! =) Its a celebration

Are you my long lost twin?

Cheers

We're now a further 2½ years down the line and Metta-Morpheus has been a mod since at least shortly after the OP (dated March 26 2020).

Other users wishing to advance themselves within the forum may be wise to examine Metta-Morpheus' playbook



I kind of sort of hope not...

Yeah, I'd be interested to hear some perspectives too haha.

I will be nearing almost a decade since I first had the molecule touch my lips, I mean it's more like 8 years I suppose, but the length of time isn't as important as the depth of the journey(s) perhaps... I still have yet to do my own xtraction! I know, shame on me right... I almost swore I was going to do it last time but then... ended up just magically procuring some for reasons and while it's 'okay' really would like to try my own hand at it, and at least try some other stuff... I know it's not likely but I think there could be a tiny bit of variation when it comes to potency... but at the same time I dunno maybe I just do have a huge innate tolerance to DMT... although recently have been toning down the tryptamine usage (although have replaced it with thc more or less so I'm not sure if thc has a cross tolerance effect, but I doubt it?)

For me it always seems like the cannabis/thc combats the spice in the way that I never felt super inclined to do the spice after getting baked in fact it was always a resounding no, it wasn't until I cut it out completely that I was able to more reliably enter the space... but still.. no breakthrough as of yet, during the times I was doing it I tried, and of course it does take a tremendous amount of willing to get there, especially since I feel like it takes me a larger dose, but then the thought idea of doing that larger dose is terrifying, along with the concept of also breaking though! Of course these are likely if not surely mental roadblocks of course but would like to try with someone more experienced to potentially do it as well, I've only ever done it with a sitter that took tiny toke of changa themselves so yeah. And then mostly solo, but of course as well this often ends up being a solo endeavor. But yeah of course the whole procedure of doing their own extraction might also contain the keys to the other dimension. Also prob just smoalking moar. That could b it too mateys. I feel it's been a while for sure, although a break was for sure in order too... but not too long of one of course.
