What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing it with us.

When you say 30mg, do you mean 30mg of dried Toad Venom?

Welcome! Looking forward to your contributions, thoughts, and insights you share with us all here.

Thank you for joining us here

This is a great report! I moved it to the Synthetic 5-MeO-DMT section since your experiences were with synthetic, not the toad venom.

That experience of TV snow or static seems to happen quite often with this medicine. "Fingers of the same hand" powerful image. I know what you mean!

It's incredible how simple acceptance can change the whole experience... and also incredible how part of healing is also learning how to integrate and accept the negative aspects that sometimes come out after an experience like that. Those are the entry points to our wounds, and help us to know what has to be healed in our daily lives now that the subconscious has our attention.

Thank you for sharing.

Welcome! We are glad to have you here with us and we look forward to growing together as a community

Welcome to the Hive! It's wonderful to have mental health professionals here to support and share in the processes that are unfolding here.

We are growing steadily, little by little, to support transformation, integration, support, and inspiration for working with this master medicine, as you so put it.

I am curious what others will say about this device and if it would be easy to construct.

My thoughts would be that some kind of lab glass would be good for the cylinder. Perhaps a diagram or drawing of how all these components would fit together would be useful to conceptualize.

Hi,

So, what I gather from your post is that you have not experienced a breakthrough with 5-meo-dmt.
The title of your post is called: "Breakthrough."
But your post is about other entheogenic drug experiences, buddhist literature, and advaita philosophy.
You mention having one experience with 5-meo-dmt but not having the breakthrough experience with it that you sought.
In my humble opinion the title of your post is rather misleading.

Not sure if it was your intention, but you came off a bit rude in this post. We encourage people to be supportive and welcoming to others in this forum. Please help to perpetuate this atmosphere.
His breakthrough appears to have been through the many modalities of spiritual practice which included study, entheogenic medicine experiences, and reflection. It is open to interpretation.

Welcome to the Hive!

What a rich history you've had. We look forward to your contributions and thoughts to the discussions here. 

Namaste.

I agree with you. There's much mystery around this one. I doubt it as well, because I think that if it were easy to do or if it were a real process, many people would be doing it by now and there would be more thorough documentation of this methodology.

Welcome! 

Hey there RoundAbout, I fixed the PDF for you. Sorry about that! You should be able to download and read now. Let me know if you still aren't able to.

In the paper, they talk about how when they did the experiment, the fungi stopped producing psilocin or psilocybin and instead were producing the phosphorylated compound 4-HO-DET (if I remember correctly). It also seems the quantity they got out was greater than what was put in, so perhaps once the fungi start producing the 4-HO compounds, they forget about the psilocin and psilocybin. It is a well-written paper, with a well-documented methodology.

Hey there,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

There are several cautionary notes I would like to make, but first I'd share a bit of what I've observed over the years about 5meo use. I have noticed that oftentimes when individuals first experience or discover 5-MeO, they are rather fascinated by the experience and can easily get pulled into a cycle where they are using it repeatedly. They spend more and more time smoking it and doing full release doses while not really getting much done in "this version of reality". My recommendation is that if you're going to use 5-MeO with some regularity, I would suggest once a month at most, if at all. One good full release dose is enough to support an integration process for several months if it is done intentionally and with adequate preparation.

Typically, most people do not do several rounds with this medicine, especially not several rounds every day. I would also warn you about the dangers of using without a scale. This is an extremely potent molecule and it would be very easy to give youself 20mg instead of 10mg, which would be a significant difference in experience. Using almost an entire gram in 2 weeks sounds like a lot.

I would ask you to pause and consider:

• What have I gained from my sessions up until this point?
  
• What work do I feel called to do in my daily life to integrate what I have learned?
  
• Is my current practice sustainable?
• What other things am I doing to help my trauma and negative patterns?

Tolerance is generally not observed with 5-MeO, but if you are using large doses multiple times per day every day, then there is a chance that your receptors are beginning to downregulate. I have also heard that negative side effects begin to present themselves with daily or even weekly use. Your use pattern sounds like an escapist pattern (from the outside listener), though it sounds like you have some awareness around that. From a place of deep respect and genuine care, I would recommend taking longer breaks between uses and adding some other tools into your lifestyle to help you work through the trauma and negative patterns.

Wishing you all the best and thank you for sharing with us here.

Oh I see! I apologize, I misunderstood.  That is a good question regarding the Phalaris discrepancy.
