Oops. You are right. 5mg of pure 5-MeO-DMT is the dosage to try, not of the bufo alvarius venom. I got misinformed when I did it, because i asked the guy how much bufo venom he used and he told me 5mg. Probably he meant 5-MeO-DMT, or he meant 50 but told me 5. So, I am the one who should do better research Anyway, as the toad venon may have between 10-25% 5-MeO-DMT, it would be better to start from 50mg in order to see how potent it is, and then increase as needed from the same batch. My experience was like yours. I saw white light and felt like i left in warp speed into the cosmos. I can't imagine doing something stronger than that.

100 mg?? Your heart will explode. Where did you read about this dosage? The average dosage for smoking Toad Venom is 5-10 mg. I did 5mg and I was completely obliterated. I became a quantum possibility floating in hyperspace Be responsible and careful. Do better research.

You project your closemindedness to others. By thinking that you know psychedelics by observing others it s like saying you know about meditation by looking others doing it, or by thinking you know the taste of an exotic fruit by looking at them eating it. YOU have to open your mind. Your stubborness is getting in your way to understand so many things. When you ll have your first psychedelic breakthrough, oh boy, that will be an epic dragging of the carpet under your feet. It will feel like this: (after 2:10) The reality that direct experience is the only way to know truth will be the biggest aha moment for you when you get it, and it will catalyze your growth, till then you are just jumping between the little boxes in you mind. And the more messages like this one trigger you, the more it shows that this is the truth. You are trapped in your logic. It s not a bad thjng. I have been in that pitfall myself. Expand your consciousness. Admit that you dont know. Open your eye

Oh really? And how do you know that? How are you so sure about this? Most people when taking psychedelic report that what they experienced felt more true than this reality (including me). Of course you can say that it's a common delusion the chemicals produce. Ok. If you are so sure, do it some times and then come and tell us that everybody is wrong. About what is Truth or not, the eastern tradition talks about Maya. Also Plato pointed this out brilliantly with the allegory of the cave. Things may be very different that you imagine. That is why you are in here, and is saw you wrote that you want to experience psychedlics. Good. Till then, it would be beneficial for you if you were less assertive in your logical explanations and your reasoning about things you are ignorant about.

It was an attempt on making you look inside for once, instead of projecting your... skepticism to every opposing point of view. Didn't work...

This man is a guru and has tried psychedelics. Listen to his words as another perspective: for the lazies... 11:22

The most "annoying" people on this forum are those who don't justify their criticism. They only judge someone else's opinion without saying what would be the issue if the opposing was true. They don't promote anything while losing the opportunity to have a deeper awareness of their criticism that could reveal them their hidden shadows. Second most annoying, the ones who think they can have a legitimate opinion on, or against psychedelics without having some breakthrough experiences on them first. But I 'm not annoyed by them. I learn from them.

The things that happen are the cause of the things that happen

That's true but It's an experience that can be lived as a human being and with a certain kind of consciousness, maybe the ultimate experience. He didn't lived through it as Alan Watts.

When I read that Alan Watts died in his sleep, I thought that that was the biggest possible bummer for him. From his speeches one realizes that he had a very deep understanding of life, the ego, spirituality, God etc. He lost the chance to experience death coming, not painfully, let's say from natural causes in old age, lying on his bed. He didn't have the chance to stand there and respond, not react, and go through the whole process, like Socrates did.

The noble way to voluntarilly "die" is mahasamadhi, everything else is just the ego acting 'smart' (... or stupid).

It's funny that he says that he doesn't want to try psychedelics but he is thiking of maybe take them on his deathbed. Imagine if he did that and had a mystical experience. He would scream inside: "NOOOOOO!!!!!"

5-MeO-DMT is not advised for beginners. You could start with something like magic mushrooms in low doses following (at least) all the instructions and precautions Leo is giving in his video. IMO, 5-Meo-DMT readiness is not about having a lot of experiences with psychedelics. When you are about to climb to that top, you have to have a certain level consciousness, with adequate theoretical knowledge about the ego, oneness, non duality etc. 5-MeO-DMT is not to play with.

'Complete beginner' you mean you never had a psychedelic before?

What difference would it make to you if Leo told you that they are real? There are countless descriptions out there. The thing is to directly experience them yourself

I 've brewed it once myself mixing Banisteriopsis Caapi and Psychotria Viridis. The result was very good and I had a wonderful experience at home, with an experienced sitter. Ceremonies have a different feeling though. Try both.

So, in your opinion, is there 'healthy' and true channeling ? Do you have any examples that you consider legit channeling?

Sorry, a typo, I meant to write "don't take IT (the rapé) in less than 90 minutes", The rapé is to be taken before drinking or during the process. About the dose, the people who give the ayahuasca know when more is to be given. The booster is usually half of the initial dose and to first-timers they give half dose anyway. Second night will be deeper for you. As for the trip going dark, it doesn't depend on the dose.

If they offer rapé snuff before drinking, it is recommended as it has a grounding effect and calms the mind while awaiting for the ayahuasca to kick-in and leads you gradually into the process. Rapé is also great during the ceremony because sometimes the thoughts get all around on non substantial things. Rapé grounds you and gets you back to the...main road. Don't take in less than 90 minutes after you drink. Wear comfortable clothes. If the music inspires you, get up and dance. Earplugs and an eye-mask are recommended, and a bottle of water. Finally, surrender to the process and when the shaman offers a "booster" dose, take it. Have a wonderful experience!
