To my knowledge DXM more on the unhealthy side than most stuff, especially when it's in cough syrup. People tend to use it because they don't have access to anything better, much like DPH Kriya on a psychedelic sounds fun though, been meaning to try something like that.

35mg of oral DMT sounds abit low. If memory serves, even Leo said to take something like 100mg. I describe some of the 5-MeO stuff in this post: In essence, it's impractical for me to do them. A decent trip would likely require 100+ mg boofed, which would be awfully uncomfortable and perhaps even physically harmful. It's true that I may be missing out on some aspects, but they're replaceable. I've made my peace with all this. There's other substances that work beautifully – 3-HO-PCP, 2C-E, LSD, 4-HO-MET, 2C-B... even the DOx series. Thanks to this tolerance of mine I can safely eyeball them and go really deep, where few would venture. Then there's the entire salvia domain. Seems I've a tolerance to that as well. A fat bowl of 40x extract only got me on the doorstep, after which I pussed out, trusted my intuition, and decided to leave it for now, will surely be coming back later though. Crazy new dimensions to reality will open up, I can feel it. Particularly excited about experiencing myself as inanimate objects and in majorly warped time, like living for multiple decades in a span of a few minutes. Have you heard about Salvinorin B Ethoxymethyl Ether? That may just be THE most powerful psychedelic, making the 5-MeOs look cute. 10x potency of Salvinorin A and several times longer duration. There's maybe 5 confirmed accounts of people ever taking it, with rather wild results. I'm looking to get my hands on it at some point, luckily there's some potential avenues available.

Thanks for your concern . Thankfully even in that state I can maintain enough self-control to not have to worry about stuff like that. By the way, are there specific positing limits per day? I believe I hit around 20 before getting restricted for several hours, couldn't even send messages. Guess the limit is lower for new members?

What initially comes to mind: if we take Truth to mean that everything is one, that you're the only thing in existence, then every evil act you commit is against yourself, which doesn't make sense. Though this misses some nuance, such as when you're at that level, 'evil', 'bad', etc cease to hold any meaning. Perhaps that's where consciousness comes in, you're wise enough to realize that after this experience you'll come back to ordinary human reality where it does matter.

I've done my fair share of them, yes. 7 or 8 different ones perhaps. Combining them with tryptamines can yield some really amazing results, the experience becomes more relaxed. Distant yet present, Even out in public this is useful, for things like social anxiety or observation. 3-HO is my favorite, after that DMXE (that's the one best combined with stuff, as it's milder. 3-HO is super strong on its own). O-PCE and 2F-DCK are most like ketamine, one is just more potent and the other weaker. Otherwise nearly identical even in smell. This chem profile is I think more prone to nausea/headaches, which your experience corroborates. 3-MeO-PCE and 3-ME-PCPy aren't fit for spiritual stuff imo, too manic/stimulating. MXiPr is a bit of everything, possibly similar in DMXE in that it'll shine in combinations. I'll paste some half-baked excerpts/descriptions from my old writings: (about DMXE with 4-HO-MET) (about 3-HO-PCP)

Wrong about the fact that I cannot be wrong (I can) Wrong about the value of humility, compassion, and love (autistically dismissed those as 'girly') Wrong about sustainability of psychedelic mystical states ('chasing the dragon' higher and higher, while blind to the divinity of mundane reality) Wrong about books and similar resources (thought I don't need those, that my own insights and Leo's videos are enough. Now I'm consistently blown away by the kind of wisdom and beauty I'm finding in multi-century old texts, from a wide variety of traditions) I'm also considering that I may be wrong about romantic relationships and general interactions with people, but not quite sure about that one yet, it's in the works.

3-HO-PCP is an amazing dissociative. So multifaceted, some of my best trips have been with it. It's also cheap and relatively harmless.

Far from the most extreme thing I ever done, it was actually very manageable. A nice chill awakening to complete solipsism. But I'm wired in strange ways.

The headspace is what's more similar, and visuals too to some extent. It's not easy to put into words, as shrooms are also fairly similar to both of these, but there's subtle distinctions. IMO the 4-subs are less confusing, your chains of thoughts/insights are more coherent, while shrooms kinda throw you all over the place. Visuals are more colorful and 'warped' I guess? Your experience might be different. I believe part of the reason this comparison is not made as often is people treat 4-HO as almost purely recreational/visual substance, never having gone really deep with it. Much like 2C-B. My top 3 trip was with 2C-B, but on 120mg.

Fumarate can be taken orally. Dosages on PsychonautWiki seem accurate for people with normal tolerance. I've taken something like 90mg for a deep trip, don't do that though. It's solid for consciousness work. People say it's a lot like shrooms, but I think it's closer to 4-HO-MET, just more potent.

Indeed, your examples are pretty strange. All that stuff is child's play compared to the individual and collective evils that have been and will be committed. And what's this about data? The data is neutral, it's your interpretation of it that makes it good or bad. This reminds me somewhat of the Cathar belief that the material world was created by a lesser, evil deity, and the true spiritual realm is that of the real all-powerful God, to which the soul can return upon death of the body, while everything earthly is inherently filthy. Might sound good on paper, but that's just more duality, judgment, and separation.

Another great thing about suffering is it brings you closer to unconditional happiness

Have fun, it's a nice topic. I just wanted to write this warning cause I know a few guys that think of everything in terms of serotonin/dopamine, it's a sad sight.

My experience is somewhat different. Some years ago my social anxiety was bad to the point of being afraid to call the ISP and talk to the tech support person. Now it's all fixed and I can socialize really well without any issues, particularly meeting people where they're at. However it's still an activity that gradually drains energy in the process as opposed to increasing it, like a genuinely enjoyable pastime should. What's more, as I get better at understanding psychology, despite improving my interactions at a surface level, it's actually making them more boring. Before at least there was some mystery, but now that I can read most like an open book, there's not much point to it. You make great observations, but I disagree with "it's making you think like most people". If anything I feel more alien than ever, not in any negative sense though.

Is it just me or has the word "like" been used too many times in this one? Perhaps a consequence of speaking more about personal experiences than abstract topics. Anyway, fantastic video as usual.

I wouldn't get too hung up on this receptor/neuroscience stuff. It's good as general information, same as reading trip reports. But then your actual experience with the substance may differ wildly, a complete 180. There's a community on reddit called r/DrugNerds dedicated to this, lots of data there.

If I'm wrong about being wrong, am I right?

On moderate doses it's pretty fun, especially lighter stuff like molly. Once I had a 'bad' trip on a train, got a little too deep and I saw the ego of everyone around. Quite the unpleasant sight. Barely managed to get home, everything was drowning in warping colors. Must've looked totally wasted but somehow avoided the cops or death. It's one of those experiences that are useful to have once in your lifetime but no more. Doesn't have to be purely recreational, practically it can be very powerful for curing social anxiety or just observing people in action, many patterns are revealed that usually go unnoticed. Good material for psychological understanding. Especially if you combine for instance tryptamines with dissociatives.

I realized I cannot seriously pursue this unless I first build a solid foundation of health, which is in the works at the moment. The interests won't matter if you don't have the energy or cognitive capacity to engage with them. Thankfully at the moment I'm financially stable, but becoming completely independent comes next. Amidst all this I still dabble in plenty of topics, but not at full capacity. Also I try to study the best polymaths like Ibn Sina, Da Vinci, Goethe to figure out which practices and ways of thinking I could borrow to enhance my own. A major challenge I had to overcome is a kind of paralysis, having too many things to potentially do and not knowing which one to choose. That's been mostly solved now thru trusting my intuition and adopting a balanced "shoot first, ask questions later" approach.

Complete and permanent dissolution of the ego is tantamount to death in this human world. At 100% no self you wouldn't even know your name, making it impossible to do basic survival. Which is not to discourage striving towards these states of being, but part of wisdom is knowing your limits.

That's self-bias for you. A selfish person would sooner resort to all those things you describe than admit their deficiencies and start working on correcting them. Truth hurts. A 3/10 guy doesn't see himself that way, he believes he's entitled to at least a 6/10. Women are the same, a 3/10 girl will not want a 3/10 guy even for casual sex because she believes she deserves better. If we could match people according to some objective rating system to someone closest to their own level, then it'd all work out. Of course it's not as simple or mechanical as that though. I could be wrong, but that's one way to look at it.

I guess it's one of those fine distinctions between relative and absolute truth, gotta read the context to understand which one's being spoken about. Which ties in with the limited dualistic nature of language and that entire tangent. Pursuing Absolute Goodness can easily be turned into another should, part of a spiritual ego. It sounds great, and it is, but on the other hand nowhere is it written that it's how humans should aim to be. God allows us the radical freedom of being evil, and doesn't judge anyone for it. In my understanding Absolute Goodness transcends and includes evil. Anyhoo this is tricky terrain, in the end the best we can do is act in accordance with our authentic values and integrity.

Some more crocs. Mara river crossings are a sight to behold. The zebras know there's dangers in the water, yet herd instinct and migration necessity still make them cross. Also those waters are absolutely infested, look at how many crocs there are. Intelligent of them to gather at that particular time to pick off the zebras one by one. Now the snakes, first video from 4:17. Crazy elasticity there. Plus the way it forces the windpipe out so it doesn't suffocate during swallowing! Such a meal is enough for 1 year. Used to be deathly afraid of those things before realizing me and it are identical lol.

PsychonautWiki, Bluelight forum, Erowid experience vault, tripsit.me, effectindex.com, r/Drugs, r/tripreports, r/researchchemicals to name a few are helpful to gather information about dosages, safety profile, interactions, subjective effects, etc.
