    I felt connected to the universe, like I merged with a nebula. Coming back, I felt at peace and amazed, like I'd seen how everything connects.
  • Breaking through on DMT was the craziest experience I've ever had . Truly an astonishing 15 minutes
  • @chang3227
    started microdosing mushrooms in place of my prescriptions and the difference is night and day in my mental health and my anger i feel like ive become a better person best decision ive ever made wish it was more accessible to those that need
  • @declanh5434
    Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
  • @Wandabrittany
    Psychedelic have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness.
  • @tomas.zentrich
    There is massive potential in DMT and I'm glad that the awareness is being spread around. Definitely doesn't deserve to be a schedule 1 drug.
  • @MaruErnekr
    I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years, with so much anxiety not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
  • @sonjanordahl3158
    I am always happy to hear that psychedelic research is being done. There are a lot of people with neurologic problems out there that need help.

    My first experience with DMT was at a park and I smoked it sandwiched in weed, back in 2020. I don’t remember everything, but I do remember first I started seeing everything look more kaleidoscopic, the grass, the trees, my skin. The grass began to look like an enormous metropolitan society for the insects. The blades of grass were like buildings. The bark on the tree was cut up like roads and highways and intersections. I closed my eyes and just saw geometric patterns moving. All of a sudden I was in a colorful room looking at the corner and each wall had these windows where the wall would open like a door and I could see out the window. Next thing I knew all the door-type windows on the wall were opening. I remembered I had my eyes closed so I opened them and saw the park. It felt like opening and closing my eyes was like popping in and out of different universes. At some point, I had my eyes open, and my entire vision was outlined and my vision outline was moving further away from me as if my vision was on a TV and I was moving further away from the TV. Everything in the real world was on the TV screen, and everything outside the TV screen was white. I moved back from the screen until I saw myself holding the screen. The moment I saw myself, I just knew I was god in that moment. At the same time I saw from both perspectives, me moving away from the screen and me holding the screen. I started to get pulled away from the screen and everything became white, it felt as though I were trying to pop through something. But something was holding me back from popping through, it was the glasses on my face, the watch on my wrist, the backpack on my back, the chain on my neck, the phone in my pocket, everything I felt physically was holding me back from popping through. I took all of these things off and put them in my backpack, I held onto my backpack strap with one hand and still couldn’t pop through because I wouldn’t let it go. I didn’t want to let go of all my possessions in a park where I didn’t know anyone. I had to make a choice. Let go and pop through and know what’s on the other side, or hold on to what I knew as reality and never know what was on the other side. I chose to let go. I let go of my backpack and let it sit in front of me. I still had my eyes closed, everything was white. Every second I was in that space got me closer to truth, oneness, purity, spirit, but at the same time became more uncomfortable the longer I went without knowing the status of my real life possessions. The longer I went in that space, the deeper I went into my spirit and the closer I became to being god. Sometime later, after coming back and going back a few times, I stopped coming back (aka opening my eyes to the real world), and I became true to myself without any external stuff. In that moment, I felt as though I was my spirit in its purest form and that my spirit was god. Everything was white around me, I saw everything from all angles with no restriction of physical head movement or eye direction, I saw everything and everything was just everything without anything. There was no time, no house, no family, no obligations, no culture, no society, I was in the purest form of what makes up all those things. Something that I can only describe as spirit and god, both of which are symbiotes in this context. Sometime later I came back to the real world and couldn’t go back to that space. Since then, my attitude towards life changed in so many ways and I began making choices I would’ve never made before. That experience really changed my life.
  • I have to tell you a story. I had a hysterectomy back in 2007 and reconstructive surgery for severe pelvic organ prolapse that led to chronic pain and severe depression. I was on the biggest cocktail of medications you can imagine for 15 years. I've never done drugs but when I heard of the potential effects of DMT I decided I would give it a shot. I could never be more thankful. I went from not working and bedridden to moving across the country and building a house by hand, in a matter of 3 months. It gave me a whole new outlook on life. I am no longer on any medications at all although I could still do with some pain medication if it were still available. The CDC decided to basically get rid of that but mentally I couldn't be better. I had one set back when I lost my mom but I did manage to get past it without any help. I am a firm believer that everybody should try DMT at least once. It was a lifesaver for me.
  • @annap2287
    As a “one woman experiment”, magic mushrooms/psilocybin changed my life. It took one trip and I was reminded of what happiness was. That was more than the SSRI I was prescribed (Prozac) had done for me. SSRI’s don’t let you feel ANYTHING. Be it good. Be it bad. At a point I thought I was a sociopath because I felt nothing. That’s when I had my first mushroom trip and was reminded of what happiness feels like. Psilocybin actually changed my life. I do it once a year now, and that’s a hell of a lot better than being on SSRI’s for years. It keeps me humble, it keeps me in check, it lets me know my self worth, it tells me what I’m wrong in, it speaks the unconscious truth. I’m forever thankful for that.
  • @oliverkahn-fu3hb
    Psychedelics is a tool in which the universe uses to connect with us, we understand without words We listen without distractions,we agree without arguments.
  • @bryankeisling132
    I noticed a mistake at 10:30. Psilocybin is actually the prodrug for psilocin, which is really the one doing the binding to the 5HT2A receptor.
  • @CEOAlex
    I appreciate your willingness to cover all topics related to the body and health in such an objective, accurate, and well delivered manner. This channel is gold.
  • @vdub7090
    Dmt changed my life. I've been sober off opiates for 2 years and have become much more compassionate towards my fellow man becauseof it. It's a miracle compound and I can't wait to see how much we learn about it in my lifetime.
  • @value_functions
    The videos on this channel are awesome. You explain everything very well, the visualizations are great and you provide scientific sources / references to everything that is being said. Well done. I would love to learn more about neuroscience in the scope of this format. Cheers!
  • I think we should all experience DMT before we die. It is an amazing journey that will stay with me in a profound way. It is empowering exploring one's consciousness. It is not a recreational drug, rather a spiritual connection to the unhibited psyche.
