Thanks everyone for the greetings.
@junkie skumbag: When I read "DOC" I thought, what's that? Duty Of Care?, Diligence Of Caning? Deconstructor Of Consciousness? 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetamine?, and I thought, hmmm, well yes, D.O.C., I *do* like my phenethylamines, I have a lot of time for them, well, let's face it, you need a lot of time for them, and then the little light in the refrigerator of my mind switched on, and realised that you meant "Drug Of Choice."
Well, generally speaking, I think it's unfair to play favourites with any of God's chemical children in the Shulgin Pharmacopoeia and Apothecary, though having said that I do stand firm and true with my old steadfast friend LSD-25, and I am rather kindly disposed to DOC, DOB and DOI, both DOx and LSD work well together with Ketamine and that other stalwart friend, dinitrous oxide N2O.
Getting a bit long in the tooth, so the stimulants such as simpler amphetamines I avoid, and were never much inclined to them in the first place. I have a high regard for MDMA, when and if, it's the pure "sassafras."
I have extensive experience of the tryptamines, as I acknowledge the importance of mapping those realms, but I cannot say that I am endeared to them at all - though the innovation of "Changa" is the greatest thing in the tryptamine world, since sliced bread.
The Psychedelic fundamentals are LSD-25, the hemp herb Marijuana, Dinitrous Oxide, N20, mushrooms, those used combinatorically and in judicious manner, can be quite sufficient on their own. All the analogues and research chemicals are to be celebrated, but the efficacy of the fundamentals should not be overlooked or neglected, IMHO.
My full research "Curriculum Vitae" is extensive, but not extensive nor broad enough, since sad but true, everyone else is doing more drugs than me.
BTB, I am not
The Captain Goodvibes, merely one of his Tsunami Army of Psychedelic Avatars, or Avatards, as the case may be.
Captain Goodvibes, Local Surfing Diety, was part of the explosion of Consciousness that happened in Australia in the early and mid seventies (we were about a decade behind America), there was the Whitlam Government, the sonic LSD that was Radio Station 2JJ, and the Aquarius Festival organised by the Australian Union of Students, and much else besides.

You could say that Captain Goodvibes was one of my early Teachers at that flourishing University of Diversity, of those times. %)
