Aloha friends;
I guess i'll start off with a generic introduction:
My name is Alexis and I am 20 years old. My favorite color is purple and I enjoy long walks on the beach... etc, etc.
My experiences with drugs began early in high school. Unfortunately, back then I got sucked into using some more harmful drugs such as painkillers and other prescription drugs along with cough medicines, cocaine, pressed ecstasy pills and many more on a very regular and dangerous basis.
I eventually realized the counterproductive nature of my lifestyle. This all began after a specific mushroom trip I had by myself. Along with this revelation came my acknowledgement of the lack of spirituality in my life; I had come to the conclusion that a good portion of my life had been spent on autopilot. This is when I began to steer myself away from those substances and indulge in more entheogens and psychedelics.
Sadly, many of my friends at the time continued along their paths, taking anything to get a high. They never fully understood the concept that certain drugs have a higher purpose than for partying. Over time I realized that the worldviews and common interests of these people did not match my own and gradually I obtained closer and more meaningful bonds with people who had a better grasp on reality, kinder intentions and an eagerness to learn from what the earth provides us. With these friends I have embarked on several journeys, both good and bad, to new realms of consciousness.
I believe it's important to surround yourself with friends you can feel comfortable and safe with. No sketchy business. I guess you could say I have a very negative perspective on many of the typical people of my generation. You know, the whole drink smirnoff ice, talk crap about your own friends, drop acid and talk about how you saw unicorns and leprechauns type of people. In ways I still appreciate them for who they are and try to keep in mind the fact that they are capable and (usually) compassionate human beings like everyone else. Yet it's for me to empathize when some people are just on a completely different level of reality.
My favorite things to do are enjoy the company of people I care about, draw intricate designs that pop into my head, surf the global consciousness called the great internet, and explore my mind and the realms and possibilities outside of it.
My history of entheogens and psychedelics consists of LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA, and LSA (in the form of HBW Seeds). Most of my experience has been with LSD and MDMA, although LSD is definitely my drug of choice. I love the bonds it can start between people, the childlike wonder and curiosity it brings, the expanded appreciation and vibes of music, the complex and curious observation of human nature, and the unspoken knowledge it has the potential to reveal to you if you let it.
Some substances of interest that I wish to gain more knowledge on and eventually try for myself are peyote, ayahuasca, DMT (although I have tried this once, I did not have full blown effects as I wished), and any other natural psychoactives. I am extremely interested in medicines of the earth and their potentials; including all types of plants and herbal remedies with any positive benefits, but don't have nearly as much knowledge on the subjects as a wish to have. In my free time I often research the basics of my drugs of interest and have acquired a wide horizon of the basic information I need to keep myself and my friends informed and safe; I always research a drug before I take it and encourage everyone to do the same. My favorite website is erowid.
I strongly believe that the most important part of going on a trip is bringing the mindsets, knowledge and love back into your everyday, sober life. I try my hardest to maintain that empathy, grounded-ness, and I guess you could say whimsical attitude. Although sometimes it's easier said than done. I love to spread my knowledge and and express my perspective on harmful drugs vs. natural or mind expanding psychoactives. I think some people think i'm a little too passionate about it but those are usually people whose main objective is to get messed up all the time or people who believe any drug is bad unless prescribed by a doctor (I wont even start about that one).
I look forward to joining everyone here in the quest for knowledge and hope to give and receive alot of it here. This is the first forum website thing I have ever joined; people here seem to be much more down to earth and much less judgemental and ignorant than on many other forums and I highly respect that.
Thanks for reading
Happy travels... and don't for get to OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE
Spread the love
-Alexis
