Wish I could watch this but I quit YouTube for 2026 so I guess I have to imagine it. Tada.

At some point, I was in your position too. I took my 5-MeO breakthrough experiences to be far more significant than they actually were. In hindsight, I see those episodes as powerful events but ultimately meaningless - and certainly not "awakening." I'm not retroactively making or creating anything out of those experiences in my mind; they were essentially the same effect the chemical has on everyone else. It was self-deception based on wishful thinking and ignorance of what a direct encounter actually is.

When Leo dropped his 5meo video, I was like “holy shit I gotta try that”. I was super excited but I couldn’t easily acquire it, so it remained a desire for like 3 years. Within that time, much came to light. I realized that 5meo would be like any other psychedelic - you have a profound experience and then come back to reality. I saw the clinging, the obsession, the delusion, and the separation. It started to seem unwise.
