A little about myself...
Hello, I am a grad student from metro NYC. I am in my late 20's and as an undergrad, I participated in many animal experiments, to see how certain neurons fire in response to the presentation and consumption of drugs. That was a mouthful.. haha

I was a biology/psychology geek and actually really enjoyed reading current literature in many academic journals. My current studies don't focus on this as much, so any research and learning I do is simply for my own pleasure. Yep..... Biiiiiiiggggggg nerd. But I don't mind
Basically, I'm a big neuroscience and psychopharmacology geek. I really enjoy learning and reading about what happens "under the hood" of your brain when you consume drugs. I have a fair experience with a wide variety of substances. I consider myself very open-minded and I'm here to learn and perhaps help others learn. Outside of this interest, I enjoy evolutionary psychology and examining the mechanisms of substance abuse. I have also toyed with the idea of making a blog to attempt to give out unbiased, scientific information about various substances and their effect on your body/mind. There is a lot of mis-information out there and I even see it among my friends.... Unfortunately, growing up in the heat of the DARE program and "Just Say No" has misled many people // end rant
I enjoy video games, sports.... soccer, football, baseball, etc... all the normal "guy" stuff. I play bass guitar, had it for a year and I really like it.
Also, I would like to help others deal with grief or losing someone close. By the time i was in my middle 20's both my parents and all 4 of my grandparents had passed, ALL in my lifetime. I have lurked around for some time and was very impressed with the level of discussion going on here. Deep down, I'm a big dork

but I like to be constantly stimulated. I try to use this desire to expand my mind, do reading, go out and experience the world, talk to new people, etc. As a result of both my formal and informal education, I've accumulated (what I would consider) a decent amount of information regarding a wide range of psychoactive substances. I love learning and I hope someone wants to adopt me!
