Depends on the punctuation, I suppose: *Hey Vsauce, Michael here* : We are Vsauce *Hey, Vsauce; Michael here* : He is Vsauce *Hey, Vsauce Michael here* : His first name is literally Vsauce wtf
There's something that's somehow comfortingly average about his appearance. Tho he does also vaguely remind me of one of my best friends from middle school, so for me there's always been a strange vague feeling of familiarity as well...
@@downer9099 not with the cameras or crew, just with a shaman in the jungle. Or just eating a mushroom in the woods which our primitive ancestors did very often.
@@Scotty-vs4lf brooo, I don’t know much about that, how was it and how have you been? I feel like people think im exaggerating when I tell my story in just basic shrooms but I genuinely feel they have altered me permanently and make me more anxious even to this day a year on, I hope you’re doing good bro
@@QuantumNetwork dxm is a dissociative, similar to ketamine but it feels worse (apparently, ive never done k) and lasts a lot longer. too much happened to put it all here, but basically i was pretty sure i was dead for like 2 months after it lol. i never had anxiety in my life but to this day i still get panic attacks because out of nowhere i get flashbacks to that night where i was stuck outside of reality, best way i can describe whatever happened in one sentence lol
@@Scotty-vs4lf I feel you bro, never had anxiety either but after the trips, to this day over a year later even just hearing the word mushroom or shroom starts making my heart palpitate lol. But I like having these talks with other people to know we good, just our minds being weird sometimes lol
Honestly, unrelated, but Hila seems way more comfortable now expressing herself and asking questions and seems as if she is a bit more relaxed during these podcasts. she seems a bit more open and it makes me happy. #hilakleiners
+Seca Mrtva negative fucking Nancy. There doing just fine especially when trying to give voice to such abstract thoughts as those when talking about physchedelics.
I dealt with severe depression all of my life up until October of last year when I took 9.5g of Psilocybin mushrooms and had the most profound night of my life. I let go of a lot of pain that I had built up over my life and I have never dealt better.
I took a 6g dosage of shrooms & I hated it. it wasn't my first time taking shrooms but it was by far the biggest dose I'd taken & I freaked out. I think I'll stick to acid
@Nepho acid isn't necessarily stronger. Just effects you a bit differently. I'm sorry to hear you had a negative experience with it, I'd say maybe it was just the be trip since every trip can be drastically different. But I'm not sure. However I have heard of acid not really working that much at all on people with autism. And add even effects me much differently then it usually effects people too
9.5 grams!? Thats a quarter plus some, that is a huge dose man. I took half that and was able to smear the colors around me like painting, then it would slowly fade back. I couldnt imagine taking double.
D - Ruger Don’t kid yourself, marijuana is a drug. I say this as an avid consumer (edibles and joints) and to say it ain’t a drug is straight up lying.
@@Sunny-uh5bc I guess the main point of saying it's not a drug is in the fact, that you don't have people murdering each other for a joint. You get this behaviour in meth and heroin addicts and meth and heroin are typically those drugs you imagine when someone talks about drugs. You don't use needles or snort marihuana. Stoners don't typically go to rehab. Truth be told, when it comes to drugs, the humanity is a junkie. From white sugar and red meat to nicotine and alcohol, all we, as a species, practically do is drugs. So technically anything you do periodically because of it's effects is a drug, even friggin serotonin. So of course ganja is a drug. But not as addictive and as destructive as the term would have you believe. Say you have a brother who does meth and you smoke weed. Would you categorize yourself with him as an equal drug user, or would you rationally understand that while both of you are doing drugs, you are not the junkie?
Watched some of the episodes,personally they are lower quality videos than his D!ng and Vsauce videos,I dislike them they are lame small people experiments
@@jhinabloomingflower807 'small people' You mean small sample sizes? Michael has said that they usually have *way* more people participating than what they actually show, and when they don't they make that explicitly clear
So Vsauce can record an episode for youtube red where he takes illegal psychedelics and it's completely fine? Yet PsychedSubstance, YourMateTom, etc. (who don't even take drugs on camera) had to delete hundreds of videos. They got strikes on their channels and were a microgram away from getting shut down. Nice RUclips.
@@cameronmorse6689 I don't think they could offer enough money, pornhub makes enough money from the porn industry that Google would have to offer billions
Sylvester Stalin Oh yeah, I totally agree. This all hypothetical. It begs the question of what that number would be. Google is essentially a tech monopoly and RUclips is their prized pony. I don’t doubt for a second they’d offer billions to protect their asset from being surpassed a competitor.
@@cameronmorse6689 They're a tech giant, not a monopoly. That's a big difference. The cost of running and the total income have evened out just a few years back. Nobody is really sure if youtube is actually profitable yet. They're letting anyone upload gigabytes of content for free and only get paid for users viewing ads. That's why nobody has yet been able to compete with youtube. Vast majority of their income comes from ads. Ad companies have a say in what kind of content can and cannot monetized, and are able to straight up censor certain content. Companies having such an easy time making copyright claims on anything is a big part of this. Even Pornhub acknowledges that if they were to compete with RUclips in non-adult content viewing (and inherently without porn ads), they'd have a very hard time staying profitable. Surprisingly, the biggest competition to RUclips might be sites like Patereon. Content creators with merely 1000 patreon followers will easily make considerably more money than channels with 100 000 subscribers and no sponsors, while actually spending less time producing videos than those youtube channels (since they're not depending on views).
pmellow I don’t know if he did or not but if you watch the video, he obviously didn’t do it the way people normally do. It’s not normal to have cameras in your face while you’re on ayahuasca. It was just a suggestion based on how he described the trip he had. I don’t care if he tells us about this second trip just for himself or not. We don’t need to know if he ever goes back on his own to do some soul searching. That’s none of my concern. I was merely suggesting that he should and hoping he will whether he makes it public or not.
Big shoutout to ethan for being a patreon supporter of the PsychedSubstance channel, easily the best drug education channel on RUclips. Anybody interested in learning more about psychedlics and their positive effects should check it out.
Darkden84 I didn't know Ethan supported that guys channel. Definitely the channel I recommend to people who are just getting into psychedelics. You're so much less likely to have a bad trip if you know what you're getting yourself into a bit.
Darkden84 i don't want to burst your bubble but im pretty sure it was confirmed it was a different Ethan Klein in the comments of one of his videos lol
Where I'm from most of the city which is our capital is medicated and this was done because it's cheaper to medicate the people from bad areas than to police them
@Jesus is Dog : Yeah, I've only heard of that as an urban legend. It's my understanding that the stuff begins in crystalized form so it might exist somewhere.
killercaos123 he said he hated every psychedelic experience he had, probably got too introspective for him, and considering his ego and treatment of people I’m not surprised
I've yet to take Ayahuasca, but shortly after medically discharging from the Army 3 years ago, I underwent an theraputic DMT experience, and few months later, an LSD experience (no knowledge/experience of entheogens prior to these two experiences), and they were just, indescribable; beautifully tragic, profoundly terrifying, blissfully reality-shattering and reality-rebuilding, was crazy. Can certainly relate to Timoty Leary as far as, I learned more in my 2 psychedelic experiences than I ever learned in any amount of schooling or the military lol. Much love to everyone on their jOURney.
Psychedelics are medicine for the soul my friend, for some reason that doesn't seem to be a topic to be considered anymore. So happy for you, peace be with you and don't forget to let go!
Warvell1 I meant what I said in a literal sense. You were *literally* dying while you were that high. In fact, you're *literally* dying right now. You've been dying since the moment you were conceived, and wether that scares you or not doesn't fall back on me.
Re: the "War on Drugs" ... one of the things that has always bothered me is that, all throughout my childhood (graduated HS in '99), the phrase was "drugs AND alcohol," when in fact alcohol is one of the most dangerous of all drugs, physically and statistically.
black & white why would his channel get taken down? Well, considering he's talking about illicit substances on a non-supportive platform, I'd say he'd be wise to watch his words.
WarmBeans no like a legit person. I see a lot of people who do engages with both but mainly with ethan because he talks & asks the questions more, but I love how even though ethan is asking the questions, he speaks to both because we are all thinking the same & would ask the same questions also
It warms my heart to see more and more people opening their hearts and minds. It gives me hope. I can't even find proper words to deliver this feeling. We have the future right in our hands. Respect psychedelics and all life.
@@eriofmyire In the case of psychedelics, because they are THAT powerful of an experience. It's hard to believe that such vivid experiences and spiritual/transcendent journeys are caused by an innert substance. In many cases you actually FEEL an entity or deity of abstract nature during the trip. It's not easy to explain but it makes perfect sense to think about these substances as something more than just substances. Think about how a plane ticket is just a piece of paper that grants you access to a floating hunk of metal, and yet your self-discovery or a radical change in life might be right ahead of you, thanks to that lifeless piece of paper. Even very scientific minded individuals tend to think in terms of "the substance offered me this or that, or wanted this and that for me", while knowing fully during the process that the scientific reality is just a neurotransmitter soup in their heads. As a final argument, there is the theory that many religious sightings have had their origins on unsuspecting use of psychedelics. The fungus that infects rye is where LSD is refined from. If a devote christian person in long past times ate rye bread in a bad state, and thus ingested a significant amount of alkaloids, the ensuing experience could hardly be interpreted as anything else that something divine or supernatural. Furthermore, any person with previous psychedelic experience can probably attest that the actual appearance attributed to angels in the Bible is something one could see on DMT or very heavy doses of LSD. (I am not saying religion is a product of intoxication, I believe its more something inherent in conscious intelligent life)
I recall taking Ayahuasca as one of the most wonderful experiences on my 30 years being alive. It was on this small town in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon Forest, took a 3 day boat ride to get there. It was just me and my girlfriend at the time, so it was much more personal I feel. If there was a symbol that embodies the trip for me, it's a heart shaped symbol as I only felt pure love, gratitude, joy and other wonderful feelings for everyone and everything on my life. You think of almost everyone who has influenced you, and it's amazing how the brain relates everything. The ceremony lasted around 9 hours, where almost the entire time we were meditating on a hammock. Left alone with our thoughts, some soothing music set up by our shaman and only got up to go to the bathroom. Visually, I saw many shapes, especially from any light source when it was almost dark (such as a flashlight, or any light pole). I literally could see the light waves emit from the light source, it's kinda hard to explain, but very similar to the guy that makes the album art for Tool (I'm aware these are DMT/Ayahuasca inspired). It is something I'd recommend to anyone who is experiencing some kind of life issue, those being job-related, family, love, any thing that involves how we feel. It is NOT for everyone though as the experience is very strong, and sadly not all people can handle a psychedelic experience such as this one - or even LSD, or magic mushrooms. But in the end you really feel like any issue you may have inside, unties. I do not recommend if if you are simply looking to "trip balls", instead you must have a purpose. A question to be answered by yourself (concerning any issue on your life at the time). It is really amazing how this substance can help you understand everything around you and the effect it may have afterwards on your life.
Thanks for sharing your story! And you are absolutely right, you have to go in with a purpose like reconnecting with the spiritual side of things, or trying to work through trauma and addictions etc.
@@sonoman123 Yes, from the Amazon Forest which constitutes Peru, Colombia and Brazil. Each culture has its own take but all have their genesis from the same forest. I wouldn't attach it as a country being the "real" one over the other, as they all share the same roots. Regards.
As a Canadian, I can't even sign up for RUclips Red, even if I want to. (I probably wouldn't pay for the full service.) but I still buy the episodes individually to watch them, because they're actually great content. I love the episodes where he gets personally involved and is the subject, mostly because his intellect and normal mental fortitude pose an interesting challenge to the various tests he undergoes, and also gives us, the audience, the benefit of probably the best explanation/description of their effects, since he's so naturally talented at explaining things.
for me, I cant take psychedelics because I’m prone to anxiety and severe depersonalization/derealization, and it lasted for MONTHS. Make sure you’re mentally well enough before you try anything. I wished someone told me before.
Can't speak for LSD or DMT or Salvia, but psilocibe fruiting bodies cause measurable improvement in anxiety, depression, and dramatic increases in empathy and perceptions of connectedness. If you want to enjoy the medical benefits of any hallucinogen that would be the one I recommend you do further research on.
Sara Danhoff funny you say that but i did an eighth of psilocybin mushrooms and i wanted to kill myself. I felt like the most dirty piece of shit ever, and horrible anxiety. The only true way i could describe it would be torment by my own minds doing.
@@saradanhoff6539 not always, psylocybin can and absolutely does cause anxiety, increase in depression, and a lot of other things, even at relatively low doses, especially with pre-existing mental health issues, all of which can be long lasting after the effects of the chemical. please dont tell people that, its extremely reckless and there are people out there who will read your comment and take it as absolute truth. each individual person should be cautious and do as much research as possible themselves when performing any sort of psycho-nautical exploration, and we all have a responsibility to give information as truthfully and accurately as possible. please, please stop spreading that information. you could convince some one to really damage themselves in a serious way. for any one reading this who is considering experimenting with psychedelics safely and responsibly: know your family's medical history, including mental health and get a good therapist to do an evaluation on you. psychedelics can increase symptoms of schizoid illnesses, even if you don't have symptoms in your everyday life, psychedelics can bring out dormant issues. do as much research as you possibly can, make sure you are getting your product from a reliable, safe source. i would highly recommend dosing first with some one who is experienced and that you also trust. INCLUDING MUSHROOMS. All psychoactive chemicals have the potential for going in a rough, even scary direction, even at small doses, even if you are mentally sound, yes even thc. start with low doses to get used to what it feels like. if you feel like you're not ready or have a bad feeling, just dont do it. Erowid.org is a great resource to start. Now, I do believe that psychedelics have a lot of great benefits, but they should absolutely be respected and each person is responsible for their safety, likewise people who have experience or some knowledge are also responsible for shutting down misinformation that is potentially hazardous. Anyways, stay safe
Mad respect that Michael went to the jungle and did Ayahuasca. I've heard the effects are even stronger in the jungle. It felt like he should have had a stronger dose though. But it was for a show, and it was just Michael's introduction to the medicine. If anyone is curious about Ayahuasca, or feel stuck for whatever reason in your life, please research it. You might find retreats closer than you think.
EpicWaffle_97 lol well he's a normal person... Relatively. Can't expect him to go in hard like Terence McKenna and start writhing around on the floor in ecstasy just to come back with some deep truth about man's place in the universe. I thought he did well and took a decent amount for his first time
Of course, I would say he did very well. I'm also looking at it more from the perspective of using the medicine for healing. This was of course not the point for Michael.
No, it actually wasn't the dosage, in my opinion. That is average dosage that most people experience ego dissolvement with. Michael came into it with three things that immediately set him back: fear of what would happen, a lack of knowledge for what exactly would take place, and thus a lack of comfort with it, and a scientist who took him out of the trip either by being in the room or by testing him halfway through his second trip. What really fucked him up was his lack of comfort and knowledge, and his fear. As soon as he seemingly felt ego dissolvement, he felt fear and he was unsure of what was happening and his subconscious had been swayed to be cautious and apprehensive towards it. He thus resisted it, and never got the full effect.
When you take Ayahuasca a lot of people either throw up or shit their guts out and the shamans say its people purging evil spirits/negative energies out of their body.
on Psychedsubastance's patreon list of contributors it says Ethan Klein is one of the contributors but idk if its really h3h3 ethan. Id love to know that
my father did ayahuasca and he's told me crazy stories about him facing his deepest fear, he himself doesn't remember what it is. he said it made him a stronger person mentally. he told me how everyone around him was laughing at him. people were holding him down too. i wanna try it one day!
People don’t realize, you can have a bad trip, without literally taking any drugs... Set up your environment so it would be a good trip even if you weren’t on anything, and you’ll have a good trip with your boosters...
@@MrAshar101 All drugs do is alter the mind, and open up access to different parts of it. The experience is created by the mind. The drug is just a catalyst. Thus you can have a bad trip even without drugs, if your mind's ability to imagine creates that reality for you. If you still cant understand this, probably you're not mature enough yet to be experimenting with drugs
Well, a lot of psychedelics tend to enhance your perception of things, so, especially if you are a psychologically sensitive person, naturally you're going to have a considerable chance of catching a bad trip, and it probably wont be like any of the anxiety or panic attacks youve experienced before Otherwise there wouldnt be a need for sitters or shamans etc Im not an expert but pls dont spread bs excuses for drugs
Makes me happy to see that Ethan and Hila have tried psychedelics and have such a progressive view of them. They should really get Adam from PsychedSubstance on the channel.
Jokes aside, it's impressive how he saw himself that way during the trip. The "being waterfall giving water to the people" image he saw is really profound (especially considering how much I value his videos, he's right). Maybe thats what fuels him to make these videos
@@hareecionelson5875 i understand the "birds aren't real" joke but what about sweetcorn? Anyways, he's a very smart man, I'm sure he can manipulate people into believing some dumb shit just like he did with the fake excorcism, with minimal difficulty
Anyone whos done psychs is amazed at how well done micheals explanation and conclusion of the drug is. Its not easy to describe. You just kinda know what they mean
Ego death also depends on your brain. If you're already a less self conscious individual, and spend much time thinking about things outside of yourself, it will be very difficult to experience ego death. Ego death is more the shock of learning that you are more than just a self, more than just a needy body, and are actually a part of a much larger, very complicated entity inside your mind, one that is capable of being extremely philanthropic and humanistic. The idea that some people become extremely religious or that many religions were developed with psychedelics is baffling; I think it's because people meet their inner mind and think they've met God. Some people actually get to this place and start running around screaming "I am God!". In America you'd be called crazy, but in India, you'd be told "I'm glad you finally figured that out." it's not that you are a supernatural being, it's that deep inside, you are the entity that you sense and that gives you philosophical enlightenment that drives your humanistic thoughts forward. You are very capable, and don't realize it. Since most people are extremely selfish early in life, it takes a great deal of stripping away for that part of the mind to expose itself.
Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride Haha I had that same experience. "I am God". It was a very warming thing to find. It's not like you think you are almighty or the ruler of everything, it's more like you have control over your life and experiences. You have the power to do.
Matthew Thompson I see it like realizing you are a part of God, just like in the Bible how it talks about the trinity of God being three separate entities yet all in one. It's like that. Like we are part of God, which makes us God and ourselves. Almost like taking drops of water from a bucket. This drops can leave the pure water source and become corrupt and dirty. It must be purified to become like the water from the bucket. It must be distilled through evaporation and condensation, almost like a rebirth. It gets to join with other water for a moment only to become a drop again, a different one.
I took psychedelics once and it changed my life. I did a lot of research though and went in during the right mindset and environment. Which is something A LOT of people overlook. They don't understand how important those factors are. I ended up way more appreciative and open minded to my surroundings and peers.
Aaron 102 Depends on the drug. I've had nothing but good experiences with LSD. You feel very drawn into the moment, far away from from your day to day life. You notice things is far greater detail than usual. If you look at a still image such as a painting or an album cover, you will instantly spot a sort of deeper meaning to it (even if there isn't really intended to be one). I've also taken 2CE which is a different beast entirely. On this drug I ended up completely out of my mind. I remember walking down the road and feeling like I was constantly passing the same lamp-post, stuck in a loop. The billboard 100 meters down the road looked as if it was right in front of me. When I closed my eyes I saw detailed images of eyeballs and snakes. Problem with this drug I found was that some of the effects took months to fully ware off, which was concerning. For that reason I recommend steering clear of this particular drug. And lastly I've taken Salvia Divinorum. This was by far the most powerful hallucinogen I've taken. This one I can't even begin to describe properly, but I'll try anyway. The moment it hit me I was convinced that the world didn't exist. Hell, I couldn't even remember what the world was. The room I was in became twisted. As it started to come down someone tried to convince me that the world was real, and for a little while I was convinced that only the side of the room that they where on was real. It was totally unreal, though it lasts only about a minute.
It really is a shame how many people there are who would benefit tremendously from psychedelics but will go their entire lives without ever having any access to them.
There are many psychedelic plant/fungi growing in virtually every country in the world, some of which are even sold at gardening centers (as decorative plants). If you really want to, it's not very hard to get your hands on psychedelic/psychoactive substances at all.
Pieter Dirksen Here in Texas, and basically in the southern US in general, it's pretty hard to get psychedelics. It doesn't rain often, and when it does we don't get too many psychoactive mushrooms. And I'm too worried I'll ID it wrong lol. And acid is hard to get on the street, but I'll never buy from a street dealer ever again. The dark net is amazing.
GhostyGhost7007 It's very good to be cautious with picking mushrooms. I only know a few edible, non psychoactive ones and would never eat something I'm not 100% sure about it's safe. The nice thing here is that there are only 1 or 2 deadly species, which are easy to identify. I'd never buy off the street either. Not sure about the legislation over there, but here (parts of) DMT/MAOI containing plants can be bought legally. LSA, Salvorine and Mescaline containing things as well. And if you look around, there's more ;). Extraction is typically illegal, but not always necessary. I realize that I'm lucky in the sense that I can buy practically everything I'm interested in legally, or at least the plant material/mycelium necessary to get it. Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting you, or anyone should try any of these substances, just that it might not be necessary to buy things from drug dealers/illegally. If you do insist on taking any substance, do your own research!
Every time I've done LSD it was always just for fun but the most recent time it took it about 2 months ago I really came out with some huge realizations about things going on in my life. I wasn't even looking for answers or anything just a good time but it really opened my eyes to a lot of things going on that I didn't see or want to see. Its really crazy how these drugs can help some people
They're not as completely different as you might imagine. Part of the headspace is common to all psychedelic tryptamines (and some phenethylamines too).
Not wanting to feel forced is a huge deal with psychedelics, especially dmt or ayahuasca. The dmt you smoke can hit almost instantly if you do enough to break through, and if you don't dose it yourself or know the dosage you can be thrown into a very very intense trip. Speaking from personal experience. You can't control the dmt or the trip, however you can control your environment up until you take the hit. Surround yourself with your favorite art, a trip sitter, and calming music or none at all.
Here is my 2 cents on this topic, I think some of you might relate. I was never into psychedelics, I was to a lesser extent afraid of them. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20s that I found out about DMT, at first stumbling across the Spirit Molecule movie like I am sure most of you have seen. I watched that movie and thought cool sounds like bullshit, these people are just losing grip on reality. Well, it wasn't but a few weeks later that a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in years popped back into the scene, and ironically he had began experimenting with it and brought me some as a gift, without me having asked for it or even having known he was into it. We literally never spoke about it until he handed me the baggy. I think had that not unfolded like that i wouldn't have tried it, I had never used psychedelics before and I was always afraid of losing my mind and going insane. My friend assured me that it was safe, that it only lasted a few minutes and that it would change my life. I said thanks and told him I would give it a try here soon, but when I put it in my pocket I was actually telling myself I was never going to use it. A few days passed and after speaking with my friend a few more times and another layer of peer pressure and reading on what to expect from the substance I figured I would give it a shot. I'll start off small I told myself. I took out the smallest crystal, it was maybe the size of a grain of salt, surprisingly I got a little puff of smoke out of it. Interestingly enough I found when you smoke tiny bits like that you don't get any psychedelic experiences but you do get a somewhat noticeable body high. It is very short lived, less than a minute or two, and it's not worth wasting it like that. So anyways, I did that for a day and thought okay well I didn't die, I'll try a single medium hit and see what happens. I took a mediocre hit from my pipe, held it in for about 5 seconds and the moment I felt something I exhaled. It came on so quickly and so strong that it scared me, I actually thought that I was dying. I even remember grasping chest, clenching my jaw and curling up on the couch in fetal formation. I thought, you idiot, you went and threw your life away, your actually dying, this is the end of my life. After a few seconds of utter and absolute terror, and just as I thought I was going to keel over and die I felt the effects beginning to subdue and I immediately felt a huge relief come over me. I wasn't dying, I was actually okay, wow that was scary. Why did I think I was dying? I wasn't in pain, I wasn't actually hurt in any way, sill to this day I don't fully know why I thought I was dying, but that experience made me a lot stronger. A few moments after coming back to reality and getting my wits about me I thought, well let's try again. However, this time I made the conscious effort to not be afraid, I knew what to expect, I wanted to see if I could overcome that irrational fear I had just felt. I took another medium hit but this time I held it in. I waited to exhale until the visuals started. By the time I exhaled I was so gone I couldn't even tell if exhaled or not lol. I felt tat similar rush of fear building up as things began to get increasingly more and more crazy. colors and lights were zipping around, iridescent geometrical patterns were forming and deforming within the textures of the carpet, walls and ceilings. In the corner of my eyes I could see shadows and shapes moving about and bending. What is going on, where am I? How am I seeing these things... Is this real? About this time I felt the effects wearing off. That nervous tension like rising up on a roller coaster had dissipated and I felt myself back in a stable place. That trip was much more impressive than the last, but I was still just barely getting my toes wet. I figured I would go for two hits this time. We're about 30 minutes past the time of thinking I was literally dying and at this point I am starting to think I'm a pro and know what to expect out of this drug. I think okay I'm going to take two hits this time, it can't be that much different than my last experience. So I take one hit, hold it in a few seconds, starting to feel a little something, exhale and take another larger hit. Hold it, hold it, hold... Wait, did I make a mistake with two hits? Ya that was a mistake, oh fuck oh fuck I almost just died from this stuff and now Im smoking larger amounts of it! I blew out the smoke but nothing came out... Oh fuck i'm dying this time, oh fuck... I closed my eyes, or were they already closed? Regardless this is where it all changed for me, the moment that I learned something that has really had a profound impact on my life. And while this may sound simple and obvious at first, I don't think most people really comprehend it. That feeling of fear, or whatever negative emotions we all have, it's a choice that we control. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad, but either way it's your choice. You can't let other people and external things control how you feel, you are 100% capeable of being happy even while you are burning alive. Now don't get me wrong, that's an extreme case and I don't think I would be happy if that happened to me, but I understand that it's within my power to control the way I feel at all times. The truly hard part is remembering that during those hard times, and being able to call upon that strength at will.
Wow. Nice report. I caught a glimpse...a small tiny one, of what u went through with ur descriptive post. I never done it and dont plan to...however im afraid of going through life never experiencing possible to most profound experience one can have. And also afraid of losing my shit! Maybe someday...it will call to me. Maybe lsd or shrooms first.
TLDR: OP unexpectedly found himself in possession of DMT not long after learning about it. OP did it several times in one session starting small and then increasing the dose. At first he thought he was dying and ruining his life, but then he ended up thoroughly learning that you are the one in control of your own life 100% and values his experience with DMT now.
I've taken a psychoactive substance and the revaluation of my own insecurities and fears were profound. I discovered a lot of what I hated about myself was just fabricated lies based on fabricated insinuations I thought others had about me. On a deeper level of course, it's hard to describe as Michael said
i tell you its jiff, and "white", but you still say Giff, and "h-white". differnt people have their own pronunciations whether or not a different input is given.
I think it's a narrow view of tripping and psychedelics. Ethan himself said he's never had a "good" trip or broken through so he already doesn't understand the mindset and experience of someone who would want to go back. It's not about needing to go back so much as wanting to experience more of those planes of existence and gain more understanding of that hidden universe. It's probably a poor analogy but wanting to travel to another country frequently doesn't mean you can't handle your homeland. It's just an experience, visuals and exploration you can't have where you normally are. It seems pretty simple.
Ken Anderson Yea I agree with what you’re saying. My comment was mostly made in jest. I just love the feeling of wonder and excitement of experiencing a whole new plane of reality.
It's a little weird tbh. I mean do your thing but taking psychedelics more than two times a year seems a little off and the purpose behind it gets lost quickly.
The guilt he felt over not having everyone else tripping is how I always feel. Like when I'm tripping I just wish everyone in the world was sharing the experience.
IKR same here, I only have a few times where I was able to get 5 or more people together for the experience, those were the best. You just want everyone to be on your level. Apparently one time on the way to a concert I was asking people on the bus why they weren't tripping too.
I had the same situation once, but I wasn't sure about one guy, if he was tripping too. I asked him and his replay was ambiguously, and that made me unsure & unable to enjoy the rest of the trip to full extend. The lesson learned for me was: It's fine if someone isn't tripping, BUT it's kinda important to know who is and who isn't.
You are everyone in the world. We’re the same. Don’t feel bad. You’re just one part of us having your experience. Choose to enjoy and to connect and communicate with others. Stay awesome
The last time i took LSD i felt a strong urge of not smoking cigarettes. I was a smoker for 10 years. In that time i had a very serious physical dependence, the first think i did when waking up from sleep was to light a cig. The lsd made me feel like i ve touched a cigarette in my whole life, for about 2 days. I was extremly surprised that i hadn t the mental and physical craving (a slight pain in my muscles) for god damn nicotine. Obviously after that, i resumed smoking, but much more rare. Then i did some treatment with nicorette, and now i m clean for about 4 5 months. I know i won t touch a cigarette ever again. And i also know that without that LSD experience i wouldn t be able to kickstart my process of quitting. I fucking love drugs
10:50 Ethan: I think if you're so eager to return to that state of mind, you have trouble dealing with reality. *Michael gives one example of how psychedelics can help a person overcome their mental barriers* 12:28 Ethan: I think psychedelics and drugs add a lot of value to society, it's just a shame they get stigmatised. At least he's self aware enough to know that's why he feels bad during his own trips.
Thank you guys for talking about this and for your candor, I just wanted to add perspective from someone who is experienced and has a deep reverence for the process. The statement "if you're so eager to return to that state of mind, you're probably having some trouble dealing with the actual physical world" is slightly problematic and I mean this with respect. These substances have helped me so much in becoming more resilient. It is perfectly okay if you don't find value in that space of course, but it holds incredible value to many of us. Having to struggle through the anxiety and really examine what is going on in our minds that we can normally ignore (or drink away as many do) can be an opportunity to gain strength. It's like working out but for your psychology. We wouldn't tell someone who returns to the gym that they are having trouble dealing with being unhealthy or physically weak, unless of course they go overboard which can happen with anything.
Hey Ethan, there's a channel named "H3 Podcast" which is stealing these highlights, merging them and uploading it as one whole video. It's time to stop!
15:36 "And so, we're starting to be able to understand more about the mind. Because you cannot have a complete theory of the mind if you avoid or ignore something that it is capable of."
In the RUclips red episode he said he just had an incredibly vivid imagination (seeing random nonsense essentially) and was constantly on the edge of ego dissolution and it terrified him.
It took me over two years to come to terms with what I saw during my DMT trip to be able to talk about it fluently, and I work in customer relations so i’m talking about shit with people every day. It might be another year or two before he can really describe it. It’s a lot to take in
I went to ayahuasca first time today, i am 24. I can honestly say this changed my life,i never puked,i was smiling,felt like a child,felt so much love and gratefulness for everything nature has given us. I also saw "bad" things of my personality sort of,melt into dust and disappear. And so much more,just really too much to describe,there aren't exactly words to describe these emotions, people who have tried it will completely understand.

I dealt with severe depression all of my life up until October of last year when I took 9.5g of Psilocybin mushrooms and had the most profound night of my life. I let go of a lot of pain that I had built up over my life and I have never dealt better.
I took a 6g dosage of shrooms & I hated it. it wasn't my first time taking shrooms but it was by far the biggest dose I'd taken & I freaked out. I think I'll stick to acid
Nepho acid is just different
@Nepho acid isn't necessarily stronger. Just effects you a bit differently. I'm sorry to hear you had a negative experience with it, I'd say maybe it was just the be trip since every trip can be drastically different. But I'm not sure. However I have heard of acid not really working that much at all on people with autism. And add even effects me much differently then it usually effects people too
9.5 grams!? Thats a quarter plus some, that is a huge dose man. I took half that and was able to smear the colors around me like painting, then it would slowly fade back. I couldnt imagine taking double.
@Nepho btw nepho. dont take 9.5 your first time, take an 8th. 3.5 grams

D - Ruger Don’t kid yourself, marijuana is a drug. I say this as an avid consumer (edibles and joints) and to say it ain’t a drug is straight up lying.
D - Ruger customgrow420? That sucks. Used to watch him about 4-5 years ago
It’s the agenda
@@Sunny-uh5bc I guess the main point of saying it's not a drug is in the fact, that you don't have people murdering each other for a joint. You get this behaviour in meth and heroin addicts and meth and heroin are typically those drugs you imagine when someone talks about drugs. You don't use needles or snort marihuana. Stoners don't typically go to rehab.
Truth be told, when it comes to drugs, the humanity is a junkie. From white sugar and red meat to nicotine and alcohol, all we, as a species, practically do is drugs. So technically anything you do periodically because of it's effects is a drug, even friggin serotonin.
So of course ganja is a drug. But not as addictive and as destructive as the term would have you believe.
Say you have a brother who does meth and you smoke weed. Would you categorize yourself with him as an equal drug user, or would you rationally understand that while both of you are doing drugs, you are not the junkie?

@@cameronmorse6689 I don't think they could offer enough money, pornhub makes enough money from the porn industry that Google would have to offer billions
Sylvester Stalin Oh yeah, I totally agree. This all hypothetical. It begs the question of what that number would be. Google is essentially a tech monopoly and RUclips is their prized pony. I don’t doubt for a second they’d offer billions to protect their asset from being surpassed a competitor.
@@cameronmorse6689 They're a tech giant, not a monopoly. That's a big difference. The cost of running and the total income have evened out just a few years back. Nobody is really sure if youtube is actually profitable yet. They're letting anyone upload gigabytes of content for free and only get paid for users viewing ads. That's why nobody has yet been able to compete with youtube.
Vast majority of their income comes from ads. Ad companies have a say in what kind of content can and cannot monetized, and are able to straight up censor certain content. Companies having such an easy time making copyright claims on anything is a big part of this.
Even Pornhub acknowledges that if they were to compete with RUclips in non-adult content viewing (and inherently without porn ads), they'd have a very hard time staying profitable.
Surprisingly, the biggest competition to RUclips might be sites like Patereon. Content creators with merely 1000 patreon followers will easily make considerably more money than channels with 100 000 subscribers and no sponsors, while actually spending less time producing videos than those youtube channels (since they're not depending on views).
@Chris L you're speech it really unclear, your should try to reed yourself before posting thinks.
He should SERIOUSLY go back and do it again for himself with no cameras and just a group of his closest friends.
pandakicker how do you know he did not do exactly that
pmellow I don’t know if he did or not but if you watch the video, he obviously didn’t do it the way people normally do. It’s not normal to have cameras in your face while you’re on ayahuasca. It was just a suggestion based on how he described the trip he had. I don’t care if he tells us about this second trip just for himself or not. We don’t need to know if he ever goes back on his own to do some soul searching. That’s none of my concern. I was merely suggesting that he should and hoping he will whether he makes it public or not.

Meischel 5 it's a fucking drug, not a God. Why do people always glorify drugs?
no it open spiritual doors to demonic entities
@@eriofmyire In the case of psychedelics, because they are THAT powerful of an experience. It's hard to believe that such vivid experiences and spiritual/transcendent journeys are caused by an innert substance. In many cases you actually FEEL an entity or deity of abstract nature during the trip.
It's not easy to explain but it makes perfect sense to think about these substances as something more than just substances. Think about how a plane ticket is just a piece of paper that grants you access to a floating hunk of metal, and yet your self-discovery or a radical change in life might be right ahead of you, thanks to that lifeless piece of paper. Even very scientific minded individuals tend to think in terms of "the substance offered me this or that, or wanted this and that for me", while knowing fully during the process that the scientific reality is just a neurotransmitter soup in their heads.
As a final argument, there is the theory that many religious sightings have had their origins on unsuspecting use of psychedelics. The fungus that infects rye is where LSD is refined from. If a devote christian person in long past times ate rye bread in a bad state, and thus ingested a significant amount of alkaloids, the ensuing experience could hardly be interpreted as anything else that something divine or supernatural. Furthermore, any person with previous psychedelic experience can probably attest that the actual appearance attributed to angels in the Bible is something one could see on DMT or very heavy doses of LSD. (I am not saying religion is a product of intoxication, I believe its more something inherent in conscious intelligent life)

I recall taking Ayahuasca as one of the most wonderful experiences on my 30 years being alive. It was on this small town in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon Forest, took a 3 day boat ride to get there. It was just me and my girlfriend at the time, so it was much more personal I feel. If there was a symbol that embodies the trip for me, it's a heart shaped symbol as I only felt pure love, gratitude, joy and other wonderful feelings for everyone and everything on my life. You think of almost everyone who has influenced you, and it's amazing how the brain relates everything. The ceremony lasted around 9 hours, where almost the entire time we were meditating on a hammock. Left alone with our thoughts, some soothing music set up by our shaman and only got up to go to the bathroom. Visually, I saw many shapes, especially from any light source when it was almost dark (such as a flashlight, or any light pole). I literally could see the light waves emit from the light source, it's kinda hard to explain, but very similar to the guy that makes the album art for Tool (I'm aware these are DMT/Ayahuasca inspired).
It is something I'd recommend to anyone who is experiencing some kind of life issue, those being job-related, family, love, any thing that involves how we feel. It is NOT for everyone though as the experience is very strong, and sadly not all people can handle a psychedelic experience such as this one - or even LSD, or magic mushrooms. But in the end you really feel like any issue you may have inside, unties.
I do not recommend if if you are simply looking to "trip balls", instead you must have a purpose. A question to be answered by yourself (concerning any issue on your life at the time). It is really amazing how this substance can help you understand everything around you and the effect it may have afterwards on your life.

for me, I cant take psychedelics because I’m prone to anxiety and severe depersonalization/derealization, and it lasted for MONTHS. Make sure you’re mentally well enough before you try anything. I wished someone told me before.
Can't speak for LSD or DMT or Salvia, but psilocibe fruiting bodies cause measurable improvement in anxiety, depression, and dramatic increases in empathy and perceptions of connectedness. If you want to enjoy the medical benefits of any hallucinogen that would be the one I recommend you do further research on.
For many it actually helps with that
Sara Danhoff funny you say that but i did an eighth of psilocybin mushrooms and i wanted to kill myself. I felt like the most dirty piece of shit ever, and horrible anxiety. The only true way i could describe it would be torment by my own minds doing.

@@saradanhoff6539 not always, psylocybin can and absolutely does cause anxiety, increase in depression, and a lot of other things, even at relatively low doses, especially with pre-existing mental health issues, all of which can be long lasting after the effects of the chemical. please dont tell people that, its extremely reckless and there are people out there who will read your comment and take it as absolute truth. each individual person should be cautious and do as much research as possible themselves when performing any sort of psycho-nautical exploration, and we all have a responsibility to give information as truthfully and accurately as possible. please, please stop spreading that information. you could convince some one to really damage themselves in a serious way.
for any one reading this who is considering experimenting with psychedelics safely and responsibly: know your family's medical history, including mental health and get a good therapist to do an evaluation on you. psychedelics can increase symptoms of schizoid illnesses, even if you don't have symptoms in your everyday life, psychedelics can bring out dormant issues. do as much research as you possibly can, make sure you are getting your product from a reliable, safe source. i would highly recommend dosing first with some one who is experienced and that you also trust. INCLUDING MUSHROOMS. All psychoactive chemicals have the potential for going in a rough, even scary direction, even at small doses, even if you are mentally sound, yes even thc. start with low doses to get used to what it feels like. if you feel like you're not ready or have a bad feeling, just dont do it. Erowid.org is a great resource to start.
Now, I do believe that psychedelics have a lot of great benefits, but they should absolutely be respected and each person is responsible for their safety, likewise people who have experience or some knowledge are also responsible for shutting down misinformation that is potentially hazardous. Anyways, stay safe
That “hey guys” was so subtle yet effective

@@jakeandrew333 ohh I see thankss
Mad respect that Michael went to the jungle and did Ayahuasca. I've heard the effects are even stronger in the jungle. It felt like he should have had a stronger dose though. But it was for a show, and it was just Michael's introduction to the medicine. If anyone is curious about Ayahuasca, or feel stuck for whatever reason in your life, please research it. You might find retreats closer than you think.
EpicWaffle_97 lol well he's a normal person... Relatively. Can't expect him to go in hard like Terence McKenna and start writhing around on the floor in ecstasy just to come back with some deep truth about man's place in the universe. I thought he did well and took a decent amount for his first time
Of course, I would say he did very well. I'm also looking at it more from the perspective of using the medicine for healing. This was of course not the point for Michael.
That sounds like terrible advice my dude. that shit is psychotropic drug you shouldn't be telling peeps to go looking for it.
No, it actually wasn't the dosage, in my opinion. That is average dosage that most people experience ego dissolvement with. Michael came into it with three things that immediately set him back: fear of what would happen, a lack of knowledge for what exactly would take place, and thus a lack of comfort with it, and a scientist who took him out of the trip either by being in the room or by testing him halfway through his second trip. What really fucked him up was his lack of comfort and knowledge, and his fear. As soon as he seemingly felt ego dissolvement, he felt fear and he was unsure of what was happening and his subconscious had been swayed to be cautious and apprehensive towards it. He thus resisted it, and never got the full effect.
There are too many fake shamans who don't know what they're doing, best to stay away unless you really know what you're doing
Michael didn't shit because he's already pure
What do you mean by pure?
Pure in the context they're using
When you take Ayahuasca a lot of people either throw up or shit their guts out and the shamans say its people purging evil spirits/negative energies out of their body.
Or he just didn't take enough of it.
interesting. I believe this happens when the consciousness tries to stay connected to the material world.

People don’t realize, you can have a bad trip, without literally taking any drugs... Set up your environment so it would be a good trip even if you weren’t on anything, and you’ll have a good trip with your boosters...
Mad facta
Yeah, it's called a panic attack
Wtf u talking bout
@@MrAshar101 All drugs do is alter the mind, and open up access to different parts of it. The experience is created by the mind. The drug is just a catalyst. Thus you can have a bad trip even without drugs, if your mind's ability to imagine creates that reality for you. If you still cant understand this, probably you're not mature enough yet to be experimenting with drugs
Well, a lot of psychedelics tend to enhance your perception of things, so, especially if you are a psychologically sensitive person, naturally you're going to have a considerable chance of catching a bad trip, and it probably wont be like any of the anxiety or panic attacks youve experienced before
Otherwise there wouldnt be a need for sitters or shamans etc
Im not an expert but pls dont spread bs excuses for drugs
This is honestly very impressive. Props to vsauce for being open minded enough to experiment with consciousness.
Makes me happy to see that Ethan and Hila have tried psychedelics and have such a progressive view of them. They should really get Adam from PsychedSubstance on the channel.
Druid I’m pretty sure Ethan’s on his Patreon lol

Is it progressive or is it just rational? I guess it's both in today's society.

Ego death also depends on your brain. If you're already a less self conscious individual, and spend much time thinking about things outside of yourself, it will be very difficult to experience ego death. Ego death is more the shock of learning that you are more than just a self, more than just a needy body, and are actually a part of a much larger, very complicated entity inside your mind, one that is capable of being extremely philanthropic and humanistic. The idea that some people become extremely religious or that many religions were developed with psychedelics is baffling; I think it's because people meet their inner mind and think they've met God. Some people actually get to this place and start running around screaming "I am God!". In America you'd be called crazy, but in India, you'd be told "I'm glad you finally figured that out." it's not that you are a supernatural being, it's that deep inside, you are the entity that you sense and that gives you philosophical enlightenment that drives your humanistic thoughts forward. You are very capable, and don't realize it. Since most people are extremely selfish early in life, it takes a great deal of stripping away for that part of the mind to expose itself.
Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride
Yep
Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride Haha I had that same experience. "I am God". It was a very warming thing to find. It's not like you think you are almighty or the ruler of everything, it's more like you have control over your life and experiences. You have the power to do.
Matthew Thompson I see it like realizing you are a part of God, just like in the Bible how it talks about the trinity of God being three separate entities yet all in one. It's like that. Like we are part of God, which makes us God and ourselves. Almost like taking drops of water from a bucket. This drops can leave the pure water source and become corrupt and dirty. It must be purified to become like the water from the bucket. It must be distilled through evaporation and condensation, almost like a rebirth. It gets to join with other water for a moment only to become a drop again, a different one.
I experienced this through my closest friend. After he passed I experienced him as god.
1200 ug lsd trip, trust me you're having an ego death no questions asked
I wouldn't trade my psychedelic experiences for anything

Aaron 102 depends on what u take but no u don’t relive anything
I took psychedelics once and it changed my life. I did a lot of research though and went in during the right mindset and environment. Which is something A LOT of people overlook. They don't understand how important those factors are. I ended up way more appreciative and open minded to my surroundings and peers.
Aaron 102
Depends on the drug. I've had nothing but good experiences with LSD. You feel very drawn into the moment, far away from from your day to day life. You notice things is far greater detail than usual. If you look at a still image such as a painting or an album cover, you will instantly spot a sort of deeper meaning to it (even if there isn't really intended to be one).
I've also taken 2CE which is a different beast entirely. On this drug I ended up completely out of my mind. I remember walking down the road and feeling like I was constantly passing the same lamp-post, stuck in a loop. The billboard 100 meters down the road looked as if it was right in front of me. When I closed my eyes I saw detailed images of eyeballs and snakes. Problem with this drug I found was that some of the effects took months to fully ware off, which was concerning. For that reason I recommend steering clear of this particular drug.
And lastly I've taken Salvia Divinorum. This was by far the most powerful hallucinogen I've taken. This one I can't even begin to describe properly, but I'll try anyway. The moment it hit me I was convinced that the world didn't exist. Hell, I couldn't even remember what the world was. The room I was in became twisted. As it started to come down someone tried to convince me that the world was real, and for a little while I was convinced that only the side of the room that they where on was real. It was totally unreal, though it lasts only about a minute.
DMT was the most beautiful thing i have ever experienced in my life i havent broke through yet but ima keep trying
Wow he is a powerful communicator and storyteller- instant fan!
It really is a shame how many people there are who would benefit tremendously from psychedelics but will go their entire lives without ever having any access to them.
one word: darknet, it's easier and safer than most people think
There are many psychedelic plant/fungi growing in virtually every country in the world, some of which are even sold at gardening centers (as decorative plants). If you really want to, it's not very hard to get your hands on psychedelic/psychoactive substances at all.
Pieter Dirksen Here in Texas, and basically in the southern US in general, it's pretty hard to get psychedelics. It doesn't rain often, and when it does we don't get too many psychoactive mushrooms. And I'm too worried I'll ID it wrong lol. And acid is hard to get on the street, but I'll never buy from a street dealer ever again. The dark net is amazing.
GhostyGhost7007 It's very good to be cautious with picking mushrooms. I only know a few edible, non psychoactive ones and would never eat something I'm not 100% sure about it's safe. The nice thing here is that there are only 1 or 2 deadly species, which are easy to identify. I'd never buy off the street either.
Not sure about the legislation over there, but here (parts of) DMT/MAOI containing plants can be bought legally. LSA, Salvorine and Mescaline containing things as well. And if you look around, there's more ;). Extraction is typically illegal, but not always necessary.
I realize that I'm lucky in the sense that I can buy practically everything I'm interested in legally, or at least the plant material/mycelium necessary to get it.
Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting you, or anyone should try any of these substances, just that it might not be necessary to buy things from drug dealers/illegally. If you do insist on taking any substance, do your own research!
wrong
Every time I've done LSD it was always just for fun but the most recent time it took it about 2 months ago I really came out with some huge realizations about things going on in my life. I wasn't even looking for answers or anything just a good time but it really opened my eyes to a lot of things going on that I didn't see or want to see. Its really crazy how these drugs can help some people
Scrane fuck Texas

Not wanting to feel forced is a huge deal with psychedelics, especially dmt or ayahuasca. The dmt you smoke can hit almost instantly if you do enough to break through, and if you don't dose it yourself or know the dosage you can be thrown into a very very intense trip. Speaking from personal experience. You can't control the dmt or the trip, however you can control your environment up until you take the hit. Surround yourself with your favorite art, a trip sitter, and calming music or none at all.
Here is my 2 cents on this topic, I think some of you might relate. I was never into psychedelics, I was to a lesser extent afraid of them. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20s that I found out about DMT, at first stumbling across the Spirit Molecule movie like I am sure most of you have seen. I watched that movie and thought cool sounds like bullshit, these people are just losing grip on reality. Well, it wasn't but a few weeks later that a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in years popped back into the scene, and ironically he had began experimenting with it and brought me some as a gift, without me having asked for it or even having known he was into it. We literally never spoke about it until he handed me the baggy. I think had that not unfolded like that i wouldn't have tried it, I had never used psychedelics before and I was always afraid of losing my mind and going insane. My friend assured me that it was safe, that it only lasted a few minutes and that it would change my life. I said thanks and told him I would give it a try here soon, but when I put it in my pocket I was actually telling myself I was never going to use it.
A few days passed and after speaking with my friend a few more times and another layer of peer pressure and reading on what to expect from the substance I figured I would give it a shot. I'll start off small I told myself. I took out the smallest crystal, it was maybe the size of a grain of salt, surprisingly I got a little puff of smoke out of it. Interestingly enough I found when you smoke tiny bits like that you don't get any psychedelic experiences but you do get a somewhat noticeable body high. It is very short lived, less than a minute or two, and it's not worth wasting it like that. So anyways, I did that for a day and thought okay well I didn't die, I'll try a single medium hit and see what happens.
I took a mediocre hit from my pipe, held it in for about 5 seconds and the moment I felt something I exhaled. It came on so quickly and so strong that it scared me, I actually thought that I was dying. I even remember grasping chest, clenching my jaw and curling up on the couch in fetal formation. I thought, you idiot, you went and threw your life away, your actually dying, this is the end of my life. After a few seconds of utter and absolute terror, and just as I thought I was going to keel over and die I felt the effects beginning to subdue and I immediately felt a huge relief come over me. I wasn't dying, I was actually okay, wow that was scary. Why did I think I was dying? I wasn't in pain, I wasn't actually hurt in any way, sill to this day I don't fully know why I thought I was dying, but that experience made me a lot stronger.
A few moments after coming back to reality and getting my wits about me I thought, well let's try again. However, this time I made the conscious effort to not be afraid, I knew what to expect, I wanted to see if I could overcome that irrational fear I had just felt. I took another medium hit but this time I held it in. I waited to exhale until the visuals started. By the time I exhaled I was so gone I couldn't even tell if exhaled or not lol. I felt tat similar rush of fear building up as things began to get increasingly more and more crazy. colors and lights were zipping around, iridescent geometrical patterns were forming and deforming within the textures of the carpet, walls and ceilings. In the corner of my eyes I could see shadows and shapes moving about and bending. What is going on, where am I? How am I seeing these things... Is this real? About this time I felt the effects wearing off. That nervous tension like rising up on a roller coaster had dissipated and I felt myself back in a stable place. That trip was much more impressive than the last, but I was still just barely getting my toes wet.
I figured I would go for two hits this time. We're about 30 minutes past the time of thinking I was literally dying and at this point I am starting to think I'm a pro and know what to expect out of this drug. I think okay I'm going to take two hits this time, it can't be that much different than my last experience. So I take one hit, hold it in a few seconds, starting to feel a little something, exhale and take another larger hit. Hold it, hold it, hold... Wait, did I make a mistake with two hits? Ya that was a mistake, oh fuck oh fuck I almost just died from this stuff and now Im smoking larger amounts of it! I blew out the smoke but nothing came out... Oh fuck i'm dying this time, oh fuck... I closed my eyes, or were they already closed? Regardless this is where it all changed for me, the moment that I learned something that has really had a profound impact on my life. And while this may sound simple and obvious at first, I don't think most people really comprehend it. That feeling of fear, or whatever negative emotions we all have, it's a choice that we control. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad, but either way it's your choice. You can't let other people and external things control how you feel, you are 100% capeable of being happy even while you are burning alive. Now don't get me wrong, that's an extreme case and I don't think I would be happy if that happened to me, but I understand that it's within my power to control the way I feel at all times. The truly hard part is remembering that during those hard times, and being able to call upon that strength at will.
Very nice trip report.
Wow. Nice report. I caught a glimpse...a small tiny one, of what u went through with ur descriptive post. I never done it and dont plan to...however im afraid of going through life never experiencing possible to most profound experience one can have. And also afraid of losing my shit! Maybe someday...it will call to me. Maybe lsd or shrooms first.
Thank you for the amount of Detail in this. I have been really curious about these kinds of experiences.
Thanks for sharing that lil lesson at the end! It made a difference in my perspective
Man I luv the H3 podcast community
TLDR: OP unexpectedly found himself in possession of DMT not long after learning about it. OP did it several times in one session starting small and then increasing the dose. At first he thought he was dying and ruining his life, but then he ended up thoroughly learning that you are the one in control of your own life 100% and values his experience with DMT now.

I think it's a narrow view of tripping and psychedelics. Ethan himself said he's never had a "good" trip or broken through so he already doesn't understand the mindset and experience of someone who would want to go back. It's not about needing to go back so much as wanting to experience more of those planes of existence and gain more understanding of that hidden universe.
It's probably a poor analogy but wanting to travel to another country frequently doesn't mean you can't handle your homeland. It's just an experience, visuals and exploration you can't have where you normally are. It seems pretty simple.
Ken Anderson Yea I agree with what you’re saying. My comment was mostly made in jest. I just love the feeling of wonder and excitement of experiencing a whole new plane of reality.
It's a little weird tbh. I mean do your thing but taking psychedelics more than two times a year seems a little off and the purpose behind it gets lost quickly.

The guilt he felt over not having everyone else tripping is how I always feel. Like when I'm tripping I just wish everyone in the world was sharing the experience.
IKR same here, I only have a few times where I was able to get 5 or more people together for the experience, those were the best. You just want everyone to be on your level. Apparently one time on the way to a concert I was asking people on the bus why they weren't tripping too.
I agree
I had the same situation once, but I wasn't sure about one guy, if he was tripping too. I asked him and his replay was ambiguously, and that made me unsure & unable to enjoy the rest of the trip to full extend. The lesson learned for me was: It's fine if someone isn't tripping, BUT it's kinda important to know who is and who isn't.
You are everyone in the world. We’re the same. Don’t feel bad. You’re just one part of us having your experience. Choose to enjoy and to connect and communicate with others. Stay awesome

The last time i took LSD i felt a strong urge of not smoking cigarettes. I was a smoker for 10 years. In that time i had a very serious physical dependence, the first think i did when waking up from sleep was to light a cig. The lsd made me feel like i ve touched a cigarette in my whole life, for about 2 days. I was extremly surprised that i hadn t the mental and physical craving (a slight pain in my muscles) for god damn nicotine. Obviously after that, i resumed smoking, but much more rare. Then i did some treatment with nicorette, and now i m clean for about 4 5 months. I know i won t touch a cigarette ever again. And i also know that without that LSD experience i wouldn t be able to kickstart my process of quitting. I fucking love drugs
Very happy that you made a positive change in your life. Psychedelics are truly wonderful.

Thank you guys for talking about this and for your candor, I just wanted to add perspective from someone who is experienced and has a deep reverence for the process. The statement "if you're so eager to return to that state of mind, you're probably having some trouble dealing with the actual physical world" is slightly problematic and I mean this with respect. These substances have helped me so much in becoming more resilient. It is perfectly okay if you don't find value in that space of course, but it holds incredible value to many of us. Having to struggle through the anxiety and really examine what is going on in our minds that we can normally ignore (or drink away as many do) can be an opportunity to gain strength. It's like working out but for your psychology. We wouldn't tell someone who returns to the gym that they are having trouble dealing with being unhealthy or physically weak, unless of course they go overboard which can happen with anything.
