@Monster Energy You are too quick to judge a situation without having all the facts. It is too soon to blame the parents for anything.

There may be some truth to it, but damn, this is taking way too long. Usually, close friends and family are much quicker to speak out, even when the burden is heavy.

 Conner Murphy was often bullied at school especially during his middle school days.

How would you know? You joined the forum on August 2025. Unless you were lurking in the past or had another forum account before Leo strictly enforced the only one account per person rule.

Have you ever heard of YouTube?

Keep in mind the body probably hasn't even been positively identified yet so slow your roll dude.

Blaming others can sometimes be a fantastical way to avoid facing ones own responsibility.

Need to adopt some critical thinking here - don't make these huge leaps in logic without considering "What if...?"

You’re right, my mistake. I must be the one in the coffin. Lol.

@Leo Gura What's the difference between DMT and 5-MeO-DMT? Which one is more intense? Just curious.

They are very different. DMT is very visual, 5-MeO is not.

It varies a lot person to person. For me DMT is more intense and more challenging.

I don't think so.

@Leo Gura This case is so tragic. It is going to damage the reputation of psychedelics even more. Most people throw out the baby with the bathwater unfortunately.

Has he talked about suicide in the past?

Yes! He spammed my email years ago in ALL CAPS, saying he was gonna kill himself. That's why I spoke with him.

 I read somewhere here that Conner said something to the effect: "You guys have an unhealthy relationship with death".

This is definitely real. Bangkok Post is a trustworthy source and it’s starting to get picked up by other media now. 

I’m not surprised either it ended this way for him. I felt a bit of shock and startled finding this out and this whole situation has people who are emotionally invested and connected to it. 

I went through a similar breakdown after Aya too and it was around the time when Conor did, mine was in 2019 Conor’s was in early 2021 after I had made my recovery and when he was talking to Leo, so this situation parallels mine and I’ve been here since the beginning of it all. 

I’ve never fully trusted Leo as a teacher since my life destabilizing trip and I believe that’s a good thing. You should not be so trusting of people who share info on psychedelics and teach things that carry significant risk and from my own ethical perspective I’ve sometimes felt that Leo has been slow to adjust and recognize his mistakes in what he has promoted and shared. I’m not the best with words but looking back I think Leo’s old teaching were somewhat flippant and lacked the foresight and maturity to see what releasing the information he did so openly would do to people being funneled to him by YouTube. 

At the same time though I also see Leo has changed some since then and he isn’t responsible for Conor’s life. Conor fucked up here and he had a lot of time to get his shit together. I don’t think I fall into the category of someone with an axe to grind with Leo but I do feel a bit angry about this. I took psychedelics in 2019 because I saw many videos of Leo talking about retreats and was under the impression it was what I needed to do to get unstuck in life and fix my life and problems at that time and it really really left me fucked up for around a year after and completely upended my life. 

It’s in the past now and my story ended differently, my life is going so well, I’m spoiled. This touches on something real for me though. 

Damn man I'm glad you are doing good now.

Let’s tribute to Connor Murphy guys and watch and share his video on Escaping The Cult of Bodybuilding. The guy had genuine awakenings but sadly did not know how to integrate them. He couldn’t handle the Truth. The Truth killed him.

 

I dont think it was the Truth that killed him i think he was never comfortable in his own skin.
