@No_Manny you'll find many such lists online, none authoritative, with varying degrees of overlap, some more accurate than others. The simple truth is that classification based on chemical structure and mechanism of action is as "real" as it gets. Everything else is semantics. Look at what Schizophrenia posted.

Any mind altering substance can be potentially insight/depth inducing, even caffeine for example, so I wouldn't choose to define a whole category of substances based on that quality. All classical psychedelics aka hallucinogens can be and often are insight/depth inducing. As I said I wouldn't choose to categorize psychedelics in the ways you mentioned. Rather than trying to make the data fit a bad model, why not use/create a better model?

I would not choose to categorize psychedelics this way. It is somewhat arbitrary and even misleading which can be dangerous. For example we see tobacco listed under hallucinogens while mushrooms, which can produce astonishing completely immersive hallucinations, are categorized under insight/depth inducing. There are many other issues with this particular categorization. It would be more accurate and useful to classify psychedelics based on their chemistry and mechanism(s) of action in addition to their intended/traditional use and effects. The effects of course are subjective to a degree and open to interpretation. Are these categories you created or were they stated explicitly in the podcast?

Do you find those categories and their contents useful and accurate?

@Inder Yoga poses such as bridge, cobra, and camel as well as basic stretching with your hands clasped behind your back are good for physically opening the chest and heart region. Heart centered breathing is useful as well. YouTube has many, find one you connect with. There are many types of heart centered meditation, metta probably being the most well known.

Its almost certainly energetic in nature. Look into heart opening practices.

It's a known phenomenon that other psychedelics, especially 5-MeO-DMT, can dramatically enhance and alter the effects of cannabis, perhaps permanently or at least for such a long time that experientially your sensitivity never returns to what it was before.

Singing, toning, speaking prayer, screaming.

What happens if the 3 criteria are met? You then are "allowed" to pass judgement on others? I'm confused by this. Why is this system preferable to simply letting go of judgement?

A setting in which you are lovingly witnessed, in which you have full trust and freedom to surrender completely, is good for this work. Anything less and there will be lingering concern over whether or not what transpired is appropriate. Really, we see this guilt and shame come up even under the best circumstances, in the most beautiful settings with the most beautiful people holding us. Ask yourself, why might that be? Why might it seem that in that most open state, our behavior or even our very existence might seem shameful? It could be simply the contrast in returning from unity consciousness into a state of non-zero shame in which even a single grain of salt is detectable in the pure water.

I invite you to feel the feelings rather than attempt to medicalize them. There is nothing wrong with feeling sad or negative. If I can be pedantic, sad and negative are ideas, not feelings. One place to start is in bringing your attention to how you actually FEEL in the body when experiencing what you call sadness and negativity. What are these feelings pointing to? What are they trying to tell you? Can you realize them as part of the wholeness of your being? Emotional stability does not come from running from challenging emotions, rather it comes from meeting with them, transmuting them, and integrating then. Healing literally means "to make whole."

Re: how visionary the experience is, everyone is different but the combination of substances you worked with played a large role. I find a well made 5-meo-dmt vape cartridge to be effective for the type of work you're describing. There's no fiddling around with a scale or pipe or lighter. You just inhale and go, or press the button if there is one. It's easy to control the depth of the experience and you can gently re-dose as needed.

Freebase is relatively unstable and and will oxidize and lose potency. Also, freebase will react with many kinds of plastics causing degradation and contamination.

4-AcO-DMT is often marketed as synthetic mushrooms because it is suspected to be a psilocin prodrug. The effects are similar to mushrooms, certainly more so than 5-MeO-MALT or 5-MeO-DMT.

@mpechura converting to freebase will not create more of the active compound, but because freebase is the "pure" compound not bound in a salt form, it is more potent by weight. Like when you step on a scale fully clothed, you'll weigh more because there is a bunch of stuff there that isn't you. The clothes are like the salt bond. Without clothes you're just you.

@manuel bon 5-MeO-DMT is generally considered not orally active in either the salt or freebase form. I've heard some people claim that it is, but without direct experience I can't say one way or the other. 5-MeO-DMT salts can be taken sublingually if you don't want to use the intranasal or rectal route. Orally active options include 4-HO-MET and 4-ACO-DMT, among other 4 and 5 subbed tryptamines. Consult psychonautwiki.

Start with 2-3 grams and work your way up.

Fumarate and hydrochloride are salt forms whereas freebase is the pure, basic form of a compound Salts are water soluble which means they are well suited to intranasal, rectal, and intramuscular routes of administration. Salts By their nature contain less of the active component by weight. Hydrochloride is approximately 98% 5-MeO-DMT whereas fumarate is less, maybe 66-75% by weight. Salts are valuable for a number of reasons, one being that they are more stable and another that the routes of administration come on slower and last longer. Freebase refers to the pure compound without any ionic bonds. Freebase is best suited to vaping but can easily be converted to a salt form on the fly by the addition of acid such as vinegar or a citric acid solution. Freebase is by weight he most potent form of a compound but also the most prone to degradation by heat, oxygen, and light. The reason freebase hurts if you get it in a mucus membrane like your nose is because it is extremely basic. Salt forms are acidic, but the pH can be buffered in solution to something closer to neutral to reduce the sting.

Eventually I broke through into total forgiveness and resolution, recognition that pain is for learning, breaking free from self judgement that I am not perfect on the relative level, but complete and perfect on the absolute level. Empathy for others has always been easy for me. It's is empathy toward myself that is a recurring theme for exploration and mastery.

For me ayahuasca is deeply introspective. Among other things it led me to meet directly with every way I've ever caused harm, through action or negligence, and I had to reconcile with and accept that as part of the totality of my being and of existence. It is also not highly visionary for me, and neither are mushrooms for that matter. It is dose dependent of course but there does appear to be variation from one person to in whether the nature of the experience is primarily visual. I find 5-MeO-DMT to feel fundamentally different from other forms of DMT including mushrooms, aya, or pure freebase

@integral Tryptamines such as 5-MeO-MALT work on serotonin receptors, which are found all over the body and with large concentration in the brain and gut.

Did you crush it into a powder before mixing?

There are many reports of peoples life and outlook being completely and permanently changed for the better after a single positive MDMA experience. That being said, expecting this to happen would be a mistake, and repeatedly using MDMA to lift ones mood may can seriously fuck up one's life. Approach the experience with an open heart and an open mind. Do plenty of research, test your chems, dose responsibly, and let the feelings come ❤️‍????
