Flickering
Bluelighter
Hey Bluelight. I'm actually not a lurker; I only just found this website and have to say, it's a relief to find a psychoactives site that doesn't require you to write an essay then wait three weeks for someone to approve it, or treat newcomers with an elitist hostile attitude, or use SWIM for every trip account, even legal ones. I'm new to drugs, though I've been researching them for the past five months. Part of the reason for my hesitation is because I had a dysmorphic mental condition as a child, and a friend advised me not to take LSD because of it. That condition, by the way, is called micropsia. I strongly recommend you check it out, because despite scientific consensus that it's rare, in my experience it's astoundingly common. If you have experienced it, whether naturally or on drugs, please let me know as well, because I'm very interested to see if it actually does influence your psychadelic experiences.
Anyway, after many scientific papers, I settled on a few drugs to try that probably won't drive me insane due to Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. The main ones are DXM and salvia, though I may also try DMT and, as a recreational side, cannibis. My main interest with drugs is a self-developmental quest. Except for pot, which is very mild, all these drugs are for people who aren't just in for the fun trips.
I've never had any experience with drugs before, not even alcohol. Though the legal drinking age in Australia is 18 and I'm 20, it has simply never interested me. However, yesterday morning, I attempted my first DXM trip. It didn't go so well, and after browsing Erowid and the 'net to find out what went wrong, I came here.
Australia also happens to be one of the few places where salvia is illegal, categorised alongside heroin as a seriously dangerous drug. This absolute crap makes it impossible to find, since it's already such a rare entheogen. I'm a casual philosopher and I believe that governments' "wars against drugs" are fundamentally immoral, but especially so when we ban plants that do no harm to anyone, not even the people using them, unless they're very stupid. Meanwhile, pharmaceuticals continue selling dextromethorphan unprescribed over the counter even when reports from my investigation show that it has been a factor in the deaths of hundreds of children. These disgusting double standards always come back to profit. And the most glaring one of all is that the two biggest killers, alcohol and tobacco, are legal and easily accessible.
I have a few questions which I'll ask in other forums, and hopefully some things to contribute too, in time. So, thanks, and I'll see you on the forums.

I am a psychology major so I am deeply fascinated by all of this.
