079 | I Smoked 5-MeO-DMT: Journeying wit...

Modern Psychedelics
About this episode

I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic Bufo/Toad Medicine) for the first time, to a full release. And in this episode I am sharing all about it. I let you in on the unfiltered details and share vulnerably about what drew me to this experience, the challenges I faced working with this medicine, how it went and what I learned.

5-MeO-DMT is a different class of drug from the Earth Medicines I am used to. I experienced this as "light medicine," as it facilitated a direct experience of connection with (not to) a higher power beyond this realm and beyond my comprehension. It was the single most mystical, holy, out of this world experience of my life, and I am still making sense of it.

I also debrief on how the retreat unfolded at Enfold Institute, where I went for this medicine. 

For me, 5-MeO-DMT felt like that medicine I’ve been preparing for with all my other medicine work. If you are curious about this pure entheogenic medicine, tune in and perhaps plant a seed for you future self.  Strap in, because we’re about to go on a ride together.


Topics Covered:

  • What is 5-MeO-DMT / Bufo?
  • How I received the call to 5-MeO-DMT
  • My intentions for the 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony
  • My reflections on the retreat experience at Enfold
  • Full details on my 5-MeO-DMT ceremony
  • The “White Out” aka losing consciousness during 5-MeO-DMT
  • Detailed recall of my physical somatic release
  • Existential insights, takeaways and questions from my journey
  • How my life purpose has changed after 5-MeO-DMT
  • “Reactivations” after ceremony
  • Unhealthy habits I’ve released since 5-MeO-DMT
  • My first month of integration
