RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:exceptance Have had no experience with DMT bk and did look it up, but while I have had a solid sampling of LSD, MDA, mushrooms, etc back in the day it was purely for the prupose of entertainment mostly, getting high and while I would never suggest these products to anyone without them seeking people truely in the know, which are few and far between from my experience...I would not hesitate to use mushrooms, cocaine, peyote, etc and now I would do the DD on DMT and others, whatever necessary if my problems warranted.
I was refering to the many that over use many mood/mind altering substances for many wrong reasons to their detriment and especially when the so- called medical professionals hand out substances like opiods to the level we see today and then cut off the supply, resulting in BM fentanyl killing more in the NA today than wars we are invoved in....when I went to get a script for cannabis 4yrs ago it was nearly impossible but I could have walked out with an opioid based script from all of them?
I understand and agree with your position and steps you took and while my experiences were more, mainly self induced, the basis for taking anything at any time requires proper DD and the proper self control to take the right products for the right reasons was my point...I will improve, but age has a way of changing those best laid plans!! JMHO...Opt

I doubt one can get addicted from these substances, and when we abuse them, they kick the heck out of us and strike the fear of god into us lol. Some of THose experiences were very difficult, but abslutely therapeutic. Im a big supporter of psychedelics as medicine. I think were in a renaissance with them. Weed has its place, but is often abused. Thank goodness its not stealing peoples lives away like alcohol or hard drugs like cocaine or heroin.

The addiction side would be much different and more pronouced from your experience in life than those that have not served but life can be as endless and void of positive for anyone for varying reasons....if yoga is one's path to sobriety and the best life has to offer that is great, as long as one chooses the correct path for them to balance and presence in their own lives. I drank far to much, smoked more herb and other rec drugs for far too long until I accepted my reality and changed it.
Today, quit smoking cigarettes 30yrs ago, I drink only a few liters of red wine a month for the health benefits, I smoke 1-2gms a week of FIREherb and use some of the oil, for both the health and pleasure of it but more and more with the aches/ pains from the years, especially the crash and burn years...I avoid the Advil et al and have told several in the medical world for years that opioids are a non starter for me and they should for the vast majority of the population as well.
So all the best to you bk and all that have served and congrats to you et al that takes control of the addictions/ weaknesses in this life and betters themselves and society as a whole....now we just need to help you see the FIREstory clearly and life counldn't be better, JMHO....Opt

Outside of a couple times as a teen, I never smoked weed. The couple times I did I had absolute freakouts. So I made up my mind that it was bad. I Joined the army and served for 11 years and of course due to drug testing, couldnt touch it. But I didnt care. I preferred booze anyhow.
After the army I figured I'd try it again. Why not, eh? So as a 35 year old thinking he had it all figured out. I started very slow. Painfully slow. Until I realized there was nothing to worry about. Then I began abusing it... Shoving copious amounts of THC into myself via edilbes, pills, smoke, vape, etc. I couldnt get high enough. I craved to go into the deepest depths of my pshyche. It was utter abuse of substance... trying to get somewhere that I didnt belong. Trying to leave my body. I could justify it since it couldnt "harm me". I did eventually leave my body, exactly what you hear from near death experinces. Except this was phychological death. It was remarkable. But terrifying. After that something in my mind changed to where i can ony take a small amount before falling into the abyss.
Its an interesting substance for sure. I went from not touching anything, to weed, to the most potent psychedlic known to man, DMT. That was a hell of a life changing thing. Eventuallyt DMT kicked the shyt out of me as I realized I could no longer let go. Then I began working with mushrooms and LSD to navigate that space a little better. But you cant un-see what DMT shows you and if Im honest I think I have a touch of PTSD from what DMT showed me.
And after all that knowledge that I got of myself, I realized Yoga, was the only way forward.
That's a little bit about myself since investing in pot stocks, making a bit of money and having my existential crises. Boy am I happy to be out of the hamspter wheel I was in.
