  • @45min1
    Thank you!! Amazing and useful discussion!! ❤
  • @stayspiritual
    psychedelics are a fun and fascinating subject, but simultaneously horrifying. I think most of us are terrified to find out what these substances will say to us. Great show👍
  • @m4rkv
    Very interesting show. Lots of great information. Should have way more views!!!
  • @huna1950
    Good mature conversation-no boyish silliness or discounting of situations that people are in etc
  • @junglie
    It wasn't river it was a shallow stream & there were 3 at least 3 other folk there + cameraman, don't exaggerate lads....
  • @ereheryeht
    It sounds like you both are comparing and competing (one-upping if you may) on who is the more knowledgeable and experienced one.
  • As a guy that invested some time in meditation...from like 5 years old to 39, and i also smoked that dmt and tried out some things i can say states can be reached without drugs, but they are good at showing exaples, when you take drugs learn to integrate your skills, and therefore maybe get some experience with kundalini meditation.... this seems important for you guys to know..... please listen up carefully.....

  • @highwireart
    If I did Ayahuasca I could only do it with Dr. Robinson.
  • @Thundralight
    Be careful doing these type drugs as you could be encountering demonic entities
