I've been lurking around for awhile so I thought I'd finally take the time to introduce myself. The website and the people on it have been an invaluable source of info and advice, so first thank you to all the brilliant minds that make this place awesome.
I'm 24 now, and have been interested in psychedelics for the last 6 or 7 years. When I take psychedelics I feel like I'm turning on to something more universal than my day-to-day, monotonous and culturally relative existence. Also I'm an artist, and I take a lot of inspiration from these funky geometric patterns we all see. I've dabbled with acid, shrooms, little morning glory, not very often though as my access was limited.
Maybe a year ago I became interested in DMT. I spent a lot of time doing research and eventually had a successful first extraction. Man...... For awhile all I could say to anyone about my first experience was "Holy shit......." I remember the first trip VERY well. Probably the only one I can recall with ease. I inhaled the dose and my body was lifted up into a vortex of space and stars and color. I was soaring, and the sound of loud high pitched buzzing was nearly overwhelming. I stretched my arms in front of me, and I saw two or three rainbow-swirl colored arms and hands holding each of my arms up. I realized I was being lovingly carried by these beings made of pure color through the cosmic vortex. I had the feeling I was finally seeing what had been there the whole time.... I opened my eyes, looked up and the ceiling was raining light on my face. Eventually I stopped tripping/crying... I've got maybe 60-70 freebase trips under my belt at this point, and soon I will be trying pharmahuasca for the first time.
Thanks for reading, and again I'm thrilled that this community exists. I love you all.
Hope this is ok, but I also wanted to show off some of the DMT inspired artwork I do, so here are a few of those:
