Yeeah, it's a strange one for sure. But honesty, a lot of substances are. I can relate to your dilemma. I would say next time you decide to go in, make sure you're 100% dedicated to embrace every experience that wants to occur. It's truly mind blowing how it can increase the intensity 4 hours into the trip sometimes.

Soo, a lot of "new age" Ayahuasca retreat centers offer a Bufo Alvarius ceremony in between Ayahuasca drinking days. That´s actually how I first consumed it. After diving a bit into psychedelic literature I have read from many different sources that it can be quite dangerous to combine the MAO-I with the Bufo in a timeframe of 24 hours and it is not recommended. It think about joining one of these "new age" retreats again and think about doing the Bufo as well. Do you guys have any experiences / knowledge about the safety of this? (Obviously it´s not that dangerous cause otherwise the retreats would stop doing it, but also keeping the possible adverse effects from the harmala alkaloids and 5-MeO-DMT in mind - But I´ve also heard about some Ayahuasa brews containing 5-MeO DMT .... You see, there´s just so much conflicting information out there. )

Sooo, I had a really intense and deep Mushroom experience this morning and during it a funny question popped into my mind: Can / Does the Mushroom Intelligence desire liberation? A part of the trip was about the Mushroom entity, where they come from, what purpose do they serve and all that shabang. Clearly there´s an intelligence to this mycelium network. It sometimes feels like it is a concious organism. More concious and aware than animals or insects. So after I had a glimpse into the nature of Truth and Love and Creation itself, I asked myself if the mushrooms are striving for God-Realization and enlightenment as well?!? How would that process even look like for them? Or is it not possible / necessary? Also, the same question could not apply to synthentic chemicals like 5-MeO-DMT or 4-HO-DMT. Or could it? Cause people also have entitiy encounters on synthetic chemicals. Well, in the end there is only one who can be liberated and that is me. All is me. All is God. I am imagining a mushroom intelligence. Just some fynny thought to contemplate. What do you think?

A friend of a friend had couldn't handle LSD. He saw the devil everywhere. Tried to kill himself, with needles or jumped in front of cars. Ran naked through my apartment and bothered the neighbors with it. He punched through my computer screen and destroyed the water tap. We had to call the ambulance cause we couldn't deal with him anymore after a few hours. His parents are very close to mine and that's how my parents found out that I work with these substances. Very interesting to see all that happen on LSD tho. The defense mechanisms of the Ego are amazing.

First of all: Beautiful that you had such a profound experience! "It feels like my life purpose is to work with this medicine, embody the wisdom imparted by it, and perhaps one day to share this medicine with others." - I would recommend that you are aware that you have almost no experience with this medicine whatsoever. If you feel the call to share this medicine with others, please work with it A LOT more to really get to know these realms more deeply.

I recommend reading "LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven" by Christopher M. Bache. Reading about the experiences he had made me shiver. Maybe these experiences are part of your journey to God. Or maybe there actually is another reason why they turned out so dark.

I´ve done Kambo a few times now. The experience is not enjoyable and I didn´t notice any benefits afterwards. So I don´t see the point in doing it unless I am sick. But it also helped two of my friends to heal cancer, which was quite astonishing to see. (It was probably not the only cause for the cure). The discomfort during the expereince makes you appreciate not being on Kambo though Please don´t do that. If you have to vomit (which is very likely) fine. If not, also fine. Definetly have somebody there while you go through your first few experiences.

Sounds like Leo's life purpose course could provide some value to gain some clarity

So I've been trying to plug 5-meo-dmt two times now, but I haven't felt much of the effects. I used Apple vinegar mixed with coconut oil to resolve the substance in. Did everything like Leo explained in the 'How to plug psychedelics' video. First try: 3 scoops, ~16mg Second try: 5 scoops ~ 36mg Not much happend in the experiences, just felt a very subtle change in consciousness. (for about an hour) I don't know how to proceed, cause I don't have that much substance left. Isn't it a waste of substance plugging in even higher doses when you just need 5-30mg to go all the way with smoking? How to find out if it's my technique or if I just need to increase the dose way more?

Good one! I know what you mean when you say you come out and love and appreciate this duality that we percieve haha! I feel like I wanna explore Salvia further. It´s so radical. One really experienced guy told me once after I asked him why Salvia is his favourite substance (and he has tried hundreds) : "It´s so bad that it´s good".

Take action. Fail forward.

Look at all the options, see wich ones you like and just buy one. Don´t be cheap. Better buy a product that´s a little more expensive but good quality than a cheaper one that breaks very fast. I got this one when I started out https://www.amazon.de/Fotopro-Smartphone-Handyhalterung-Gorillapod-Digtalkamera/dp/B07DDBXYW7/ref=sr_1_35?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2V5WZE7IJ2R0U&keywords=mini+tripod&qid=1668715567&sprefix=mini+trip%2Caps%2C255&sr=8-35 But with tripods there is not much you can do wrong when you get one of the more popular ones. And when you you don´t like it, you use it for a bit, sell it and buy another one.

@Vincent S Thanks for all the detailed information! I´ll try to convert it with a different vinegar and I´ll be more careful mixing it. Other than that I did everything very similar to how you described it. Yeah, it´s me Vergo from YouTube @OBEler I think my experiences were with 4-5cm, but I´ll try to be more accurate next time. Got a good syringe, fasted for 15 hours before, usually eat no dairy products anyways and emptied everything that was left before. Thanks! @Breakingthewall Good objection, maybe I´ll try to stay around 30mg and try to get the technique right. Tried snorting around 20mg yesterday, mild effects, stronger than the plugging experiences but still just close to threshold/ light dose. @Leo Gura Aye, captain @Girzo Aye. I think I´ll try to experiment with plugging and snorting more in the future when I have more of the substance at hand. But will try vaping it for now. Any e-mesh recommendations? Anybody knows if you can also vape Bufo with any device? Or just with Glas Pipe + torch?

+ How do you store it properly? @Space The sucstance should be high quality as it is from a trusted source. Maybe I just do have insane tolerance. Maybe I´ll experiment with snorting next time and see what it does.

How do I find out if I have the freebase or the salt version of it? Lost the contact from the guy I got it from. Does it matter if I want to plug it? Do I need the salt version for that or can I plug freebase as well?

Quick trip report: I could clearly feel it coming on very fast. I could clearly feel a bit of the 5-Meo presence but not much more happened. I tried to fully surrender and open up but I could not get very deep. I tired to contemplate the nature of God and Love but didn't recieve any awnsers or insights. The experience lasted about an hour. Dose: 3 scoops, my scale said 15mg ( I don't know if that was accurate). Acceptance instead of frustration. Trial and error. Gonna try again sometime and ramp up the dose slowly. ??

Thanks everybody! I'm gonna have my first plugging experience very soon!

Move out, it´s easier than you think it is.

I'm on the same journey of exploring higher doses of these compounds gradually. Careful not to burn yourself. Always stay humble and never expect that you know what will happen. Just finished reading 'LSD and the Mind of the Universe'. It's a really nice book! Here the protocol was ~600uq LSD every other week. He said that the momentum he build by journeying frequently took him into deeper and deeper dimensions with the same dose.

@ThePoint Depends on what you resonate with. I´ve met really great people at Rainbow Gatherings, Concious Communities, Temples, Conferences, specific Festivals or Psychedelic Retreats. Just to name a few.

An idea would be to save up some money from any job and go travel. Expose yourself to massive amounts of experience and inspiring people and you'll get some ideas of what resonates and what doesn't.

What are some of your favourite journaling methods/ questions? Here are some of mine that worked quite well for gaining clarity: Start of the day: 1. How can I live my life more aligned with God today? 2. If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today and how would I wish to experience this day? 3. What do I really want? 4. What excites me the most today? 5 How can I ...[specific goal of yours] ...? 6. What can I do this year to ...[specific goal of yours]...? +4 more of those types of questions. What am I grateful for right now? End of the day: 1. What filled me with enthusiasm today? 2. What drained me of energy today? 3. What did I learn about myself today? 4. What are the 3 most important things I need to do tomorrow? 5. Whatever comes to mind After a few months: Summarize all your data and integrate it into your life. But now, after a few months of these and gaining a lot of clarity I want to change some of these up, to make journaling more enganging again. Any inspiration?

I´ll be attending ICPR next week in Amsterdam! I´ve heard it´s easy to order 5-Meo-MALT there, but I´m not sure about 5-MeO-DMT.
