Dmt is very ‘electric’ to me with a low dose but at a high dose it’s completely surreal. I get heavy geometric patterns on lsd though. Mushrooms can be all over the place, maybe because of the type.
This is the beauty of psychedelic meds, people. I think he was pretty on point when he said personal bias might have a larger impact than people think while in the experience.

This was such an interesting video. I think it’s worth mentioning that ketamine (which has been used as an anesthetic for decades and is legal) has psychedelic properties and is being used off-label to treat depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. It is administered in much lower doses because the goal isn’t to be knocked out. I recently tried it and did 6 sessions (in a medical setting) and while it didn’t really help with my depression per say, it is such an amazing and unique experience to have. Although it didn’t help me the way that I wanted it to, it was still such a positive and worthwhile experience that I think many people should try. So I’m just putting this out there for people that want to try psychedelics, but are afraid to, ketamine is a great option although it is quite pricey.

“someone I know” did DMT several times years and years ago and had never heard the machine elves thing. They never saw them once. Also before using it, it was described as something that the brain creates while we dream. They never saw geometric figures and everything was swirly and ‘drippy.’ So set and setting were definitely in play there

Fun fact, LSD is a hallucinogenic because of the reason it fits so well with serotonin receptors. Mental disorders involving paranoia and hallucinations, like schizophrenia, are caused by an excess of serotonin, as well as potentially other neurotransmitters. Absolutely not saying LSD causes those types of disorders, but it can have a similar effect if taken incorrectly (please correct me if I’m wrong about any of this. I’m a psychology and biology student, but by no means an expert!)

LSD being serotonergic doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with its hallucinogenic properties (interfering/inhibiting compounds in the experiments may act via transportation). There are hallucinogens that are not serotonergic, but instead antiglutamatergic, GABAergic, opioidergic and even cannabinoidergic. Those are just the recognized ways they act and all of these categories include compounds, which are not hallucinogens.

When he talks at the end about psychedelics disrupting society, one of the ways it was disruptive is that people who use psychedelics tend to question things like war and imperialism, and the Nixon administration wanted to put a stop to the hippy/anti-war movement, so they engineered marketing and legislation to change public opinion and allow them to jail psychedelics users. (Nixon also used the war on drugs to specifically target minorities; do a Google search)

Absolutely brilliant breakdown, though I’d have to disagree when it comes to DMT and the ‘geometric’ hallucinations. I had no idea DMT was synthetic during my first experience and (having done LSD prior) definitely noticed a distinct change in what I was hallucinating. A lot of repeating textures and geometric patterns as opposed to the more contextual organic hallucinations I experienced with acid. Fascinated to see if neuroscience gets to a point where it can explain why that’s the case

I remember very clearly my first ego-death. I had started to believe that I had died, and the people around me were angels speaking to me and telling me of my sins. It was very surreal. I was panicking at first, then I just accepted it and realized there was nothing I could do about it. And I let my soul free itself. And in this act I realized so much about myself and the world and I felt so connected with everything. One thing that gave me a lot of clarity was the fact that subconsciously I thought when I was dying that I was being visited by angels, and judged by God. So it kind of told me that I do believe in a higher power, and maybe even the Christian God. That’s my Ted talk lol

Dont fight it. Best advice. Slow down, ask yourself what is happening and remind yourself that its something that will end. Try to just be there for it. I like to just say “wow” and put my mind back to what i wanted to get to. Dont expect psychedelics to be a “party drug” its a thing for you and just you. Do it for you.

The part about geometric hallucinations is still confusing to me because he says it’s probably because its man made and we have expectations about how the trip will go so we see more geometric shapes but before I’d ever done DMT I thought it was a natural chemical and i had no expectations i had no idea what would happen and i still saw 8-bit like geometric hallucinations 🤔

That comment on why he felt peyote should be studied via its synthetic form instead of natural form was really well said. Kudos to him for answering and researching in a way that was respectful to what the plant means to another culture.

I’m confused. Despite all the warnings we get about the negative health effects of all kinds of drugs, how can psychedelics be used to benefit mental health? I mean, this guy even said himself it could be risky to your mental health…and also do we know enough about the long term effects? What if it only helps some mental health patients in the short term? I guess that’s why they’re doing research, but still I’m skeptical. 🤔

Kinda sucks that he didn’t mention that some cancer patients were terminal, but after psilocybin treatments for the anxiety (like he did say), they ended up cured entirely. How much of that is the psilocybin and how much of that is the “placebo effect” is debatable, but people are alive because of it where otherwise they wouldn’t be. Fantastic Fungi, Netflix

im 24 year old and i live with my father but we are very different …wish my father would be as open minded as you are , i love talking about aliens and space with him but he doesn’t have much to say but i know this stuff interest him too , the thing is he is completly anti-drugs , i tried very gently to talk about psychedelics and explain what they offer as i could but yeah..he his 54 and he will never touch ‘drugs’
i want him so much to experience like a gram of mushrooms on a saturday or sunday afternoon so he could understand what this is about but he has such pre-packaged ideas on this thing without ever have been actually tried it that it makes it impossible to even talk of these thing with him everytime i try to bring it up at the table he instantly goes : oh i don’t wanna hear about drugs , me i keep my mind clear and i don’t need these things .

Peyote grows in Arizona and New Mexico too… it’s not isolated to a small strip of land in Texas… maybe within Texas it’s isolated to that land, but it definitely grows in other areas of the southwest too. I can confirm Arizona and New Mexico firs hand, and I’d bet heavily that it grows in Utah and Nevada, and probably parts of southern California and northern Mexico as well.

For those wondering why psilocybin helped the cancerous people or the depressed ones let me explain to you how psilocybin works. the benefits of micro dosing psilocybin have been studied and are in no shape or form placebo. Psilocybin blocks the default mode network in a brain, and this network controls all the thoughts and emotions related to yourself (every autobiographical thought), so basically your ego and self judgment. So blocking these (often negative) thoughts with psilocybin help a lot of patience with depression. It gives them a chance to live forward without having to spiral down

FYI: Every experience ascribed to DMT can be had on mushrooms at the right dose (e.g. 5, 6, and esp 7 – 10 grams). They are both DMT when psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the gut.

Be weary of “chasing the magic dragon”. I don’t recommend trying to increase your dose amount forever, after a certain point it’s illogical, don’t try like 10 tabs thinking it’s the answer. The answer is probably ego death which doesn’t take as much as people think, it’s more about mindset.

But, of everyone in this field, there are many, many people who have much more expertise on this topic & I’d love to see them promoted on such a widely seen series of videos. Michael is already a very renowned author (which is an understatement in itself), I’d just like to see lesser known experts getting the spotlight they deserve on their research.

his last explanation also explains the ethical problem of his research area.
You cannot sell a new junk to make them forget the junk they already consuming. Maybe anxiety is the result of false beliefs, and by psychoactives, you keep those false beliefs, therefore you bypass the real problem underneath.

FYI active ingredient in ayahuasca is DMT, it’s just also paired with and MAIO in that preparation, which prolongs the effect of the DMT. Given that, and given the “natural” visions associated with Ayahuasca, it’s pretty safe to say that the Elves people see on DMT are probably cultural influence

The one defining feature of ADHD (next to dysregulation of attention, emotion, etc.) is the brain unconsciously marking everything more easily as “not worth pursuing”, and raising dopamine levels lowers this ‘worthiness bar’. The hyper-aspect is a side-effect of being too bored for everything, making someone with ADHD constantly switch between tasks. It’s not the core of the disease.

September 27, 2021 at 1:33 pm
@Meowmeow paradoxical effect is a medical term to describe “effect of a chemical substance, typically a medical drug, that is opposite to what would usually be expected (based on what effects are seen in a control group of patients without the target illness)”
Thus again, understanding the disease is not required for a drug to have a paradoxical effect…
Meowmeow
September 27, 2021 at 1:54 pm
@apr911 Ah, so it’s a useless term then because it does not take into account the cause of the symptoms but just the symptoms itself. Got it.
apr911
September 27, 2021 at 1:57 pm
@Meowmeow describing accepted medical terminology as useless doesnt make you any less wrong. Its a paradoxical effect of the drug.
Even if we had no understanding of “normal” vs “adhd” and thus decided “normal” behavior was actually the behavior exhibited by the “adhd” patients and thus made the ADHD patients the control group, the drug would still have a paradoxical/opposite effect in the other group
Go troll somewhere else.
Meowmeow
September 27, 2021 at 2:19 pm
@apr911 Paradoxical means “contradictory”, not “unexpected”. Just call it “unexpected effects if you only know the symptoms and not the cause”, to avoid confusion.

I can testify to the machine elves! I had never heard of them, neither had any of my friends when we got a hold of a lot of pure DMT in 2006. I had 2 profound , extreme experiences with the elves. I’d never heard of McKenna and had 0 expectations of DMT going in other than knowing it was smokable, like LSD, quick onset, short duration, heavy. That was all. We were all so confused when we heard about Mckennas machine elves, and of the many other people who had the same visions

I get that it’s a chemical but it’s so much more than that. It’s understandable to look at it objectively as it’s a real thing, but as anyone who’s done it enough can say, is there not something immaterial there? Something you feel to be just as tangible as that which you could touch yet just beyond your perception? Food for thought.

I’m surprised at how little he knows based on his older interviews. For example Ayahuasca will not treat drug addiction it is used to treat the trauma you are using drugs to mask. Iboga will detox you but they say it can be quite dangerous, people who are desperate to get off heroin will usually take an iboga trip to treat the drug addiction which lasts several days and then an Ayahuasca trip to defeat the trauma which is over in a matter of hours
