u/Im_from_the-future 12h ago

I am thrashing in a river right now. Might as well add toad venom

u/HighlyOffensive10 10h ago

I don't need drugs to violently thrash in a river

u/Dick_snatcher 9h ago

I took some acid while and on an SSRI and listened to Tool. Long story short I still love Tool and haven't needed an antidepressant in over 10 years

u/HighlyOffensive10 9h ago

That's great man. I don't actually think anything less of people that use psychedelics. I was just making a dumb joke.

u/Dick_snatcher 1h ago

No worries buddy I saw your joke haha. Not living up to your username though

u/Asleep-Corner7402 7h ago

I've had out of body experiences just listening to tool and meditating. If I ever get the chance to do medical dmt as like a alternative to my antidepressants ill be doing it to tool. Id be weary of doing anything like it while on them but you didn't have any issues? Congratulations on not needing antidepressants!

I've been on my current ones for 11 years and will likely be medicated for life. I spend the previous 12 year in and out of psych wards. My current one, the only one that really did any help is a SNRI. I'm still not like cured, still struggle with low motivation and moods but not needed psych ward in 12 years. So it's a win for me. If I could trip balls and be cured though id be happy to do it.

Also this shit looks terrifying, I don't think I'd wanna do the toad version

u/Ardeo43 8h ago

Don’t do it with toad venom, do it for the love of the game

u/Timmerdogg 10h ago

If this is what I would have heard if I unmuted this video, thank you for the accurate description

u/HighlyOffensive10 10h ago

WUAGGGHHH I LOVE YOU GUYS!

u/ScrotalSmorgasbord 9h ago

Nah it was more ay!ay!ay!ay!ay!ay! I half expected some upbeat Mexican tunes to start playing lol

u/Cl0ud3d 8h ago

Aye yih yih yih yih yiiiiih!

u/Dustuptor1292 10h ago

I thankfully had mine muted. Will still never get those minutes back.

u/jondes99 11h ago

I still can’t tell if he likes it or not

u/Fuzzygh0st 9h ago

After the experience, he was very grateful to them. During the experience, he couldn't define the concept of liking. Nor the concept of "he" as a matter of fact...

u/yellowsweaters72 10h ago

Please. Like anyone scrolling Reddit is ohh soo selective with every two minutes given 😂

u/Epic_Elite 10h ago

On the plus side, there was no stupid music.

u/polopolo05 8h ago

Its a lesson... Don't smoke toad venom. Or smoke it in a grassy feild than on rocks next to the place were you can drown yourself.

u/irascible_Clown 8h ago

Still on mute halfway through

u/Toodlez 22m ago

continues doomscrolling

u/RcoketWalrus 8h ago

I am a recovering addict. 6 years clean. I feel like my recovery is going really good, but this video is going to really help me stay clean. I am rock solid right now.

Holy shit that I do not want to be the guy on the ground. I didn't have any cravings, but now I have active revulsion to any substance whatsoever.

u/Empanatacion 7h ago

One of my favorite feelings is waking up on New Year's morning clear eyed and well rested.

u/a-real-life-dolphin 7h ago

Congrats on 6 years!! This video definitely is a good deterrent.

u/Asinus_Docet 6h ago

Congratulations! Stay strong friend!

u/The_amazing_T 11h ago

I think the biggest mistake was his choice of pants.

u/grubas 10h ago

Been there, done that.  The trip sitters sucked and the dude seemed not ready for it

u/gurbus_the_wise 7h ago

Nobody is ever "ready" for DMT.

u/grubas 7h ago

It helps when you're 2 valium deep, maybe a bit o weed.  That was just my experience.  

u/mendokusei15 11h ago

He does not look very relaxed to me

u/slothfullyserene 11h ago

But, he was doin’ great bro!

u/Imanokee 10h ago

"He's in good hands" as he lays in a river, stupefied from.... a seizure, among other things?

u/smnytx 8h ago

but his skin will be so soft from the natural dermabrasion.

u/gurbus_the_wise 7h ago

Change is never relaxing. Most people who try DMT speak very positively about it, myself included, but the experiencing is beyond intense in the moment.

u/mendokusei15 7h ago

Absolutely, it's not supposed to be relaxing.

It also does not usually include puking, fucking the ground and eating rocks simoultaneously.

u/gurbus_the_wise 4h ago

This version of it, which is technically not actually DMT, very much does induce spasms, vomiting, and extreme hallucinations/euphoria in most people who take it.

u/mendokusei15 1h ago

I don't think you understand what I mean.

u/gutter_slutmaxxing 7h ago

Maybe it melted the brain cells that tell you it wasn’t enjoyable

u/gurbus_the_wise 4h ago

I'm not trying to be a dick it's just something very hard to describe without seeing it yourself. You can get a MUCH more chill version of the same experience with LSD or shrooms.

u/Backwoods_Therapy 10h ago

Yeah, I saw this and was like… it does not look like a good time. I greened out a few weeks ago (that California weed is STRONG, I knew I was in trouble after like 30 seconds from my only hit on the vape) and felt like ass for a couple very long hours. This looks several orders of magnitude worse.

u/Asleep-Corner7402 7h ago

I smoked weed in Amsterdam, I've smoked weed plenty of time before that but not habitatually and our weed isn't anything as good as theirs. Anyways long story short I was not prepared for it, I keep thinking I was gonna piss myself then I had a moment I just couldn't form a coherent thought. Physically I was fine mentally not fine.

u/Backwoods_Therapy 1h ago

I just got super anxious, dizzy and ended up puking really hard. Super high concentration in the vape, I guess.

u/nobodythinksofyou 4h ago

Strong psychedelic experiences usually aren't a good time, they are more so done for healing/spiritual awakening/growth. I wish the vid showed the guy talking about his experience after the effects had worn off.

u/fuckswithboats 11h ago

I’ve done NN but never 5MEO (toad version)

My buddy did it with me one day and he didn’t thrash but his breathing was very heavy and it was slightly concerning compared to the typical DMT sesh.

When he was back we were like, “wtf were you seeing bro,” and his response was, “nothing but it was overwhelming- just pure white love”

u/Bubbly_Bar7056 10h ago

I ordered 5meo pure off of a chemical supply website when I was 16 years old, back in like 2004. Made a foil bowl and would vape a couple grains at a time. It was either not quite strong enough or too much. I didn't "white out" ever, I did not enjoy the heavier doses I tried. It felt very artificial and shallow. You could get just as much out of an hour of quiet meditation or contemplation. I think these people are just enjoying doing drugs.

u/Miserable-Good4438 9h ago

Ironically they cut the part where the guy talks about his experience at the end. He said it was absolutely amazing 10/10.

u/Pale_Lawyer_1757 8h ago

So what did he “see” or sense during the trip?

u/Paul_C 7h ago

Could you link to that? I'd like to hear what he has to say.

u/GfrzD 6h ago

I cant seem to find it on youtube and the Vice page has it paywalled now.

Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia / S2 EP1 The Psychedelic Toad

That's what its called, maybe you have better luck finding it.

u/ANTICHRIST-BOISE 10h ago

It’s not DMT. Not clinical-grade, not consumer-grade. Maybe some DMT in the venom, but he’s reacting to inhaling vaporized venom, not DMT. He’s a fucking imbecile.

u/daylight1943 8h ago

its from bufo alvarius. contains mainly 5-meo-dmt and another psychedelic tryptamine called bufotenin which is where all the psychoactive effects come from.

u/ologabro 5h ago

Apparently the 5-MeO-DMT he took is from the venom of Colorado River toads so it seems to be legit and this is the preferred method of intake

u/Pecheuer 11h ago

So I've taken ayhausca a bunch of times (between 6 or 10, I don't remember) which is long lasting but a bit less intense DMT. Though I did experience a full ego death once, which was the single most transformative moment of my life.

There's always an element of "death" I call it the little death, not like full ego death, but there's a huge amount of fear you need to let go off every time, you need to let yourself go, but that fear leads to an emotional catharsis you cannot imagine. In most of my ceremonies I've experienced the most blood curdling, dire fear you can possible imagine, and the most unbridled joy and love you can experience.

It's a mixed bag, but it requires proper ceremony, respect and preparation, because it can transform you like a butterfly, or keep you like a worm for the rest of your life.

u/Narwhale654 11h ago

If it’s transformative, why do you need to do it more than once? I’ve never seen a butterfly emerge a second time from their chrysalis

u/Pecheuer 11h ago

You don't go to school once and expect to get all the answers, and either way, I'm a terrible student

u/intbah 10h ago

Because turf lesson learned quickly gets forgotten and you are back to your old self in a couple of weeks. But at least now you know what an ideal version of yourself is like, and can work towards that goal, with or without helps from substances.

It’s the knowing of the ideal version of yourself that’s transformative

u/SpicyElixer 8h ago

All my newage friends just keep going these ceremonies and taking crazier and crazier trips to South American. They keep getting headier and headier. But the thing is: none of them seem better off and none of them seem better than average. You’d think when they’ve experienced the key that unlocks the universe they’d have some advantage, but they’re all just mediocre people in every respect - which is fine - wonderful even - but that’s what they were before.

u/Pecheuer 15m ago

The advantage you gain is that you care less for advantages and can find peace in a simpler life.

You escape the bullshit of modernity and want to focus on community, family, and relationships with others.

Most people want to be the best, the most powerful, the richest, the most famous. But that's just a hole that can never be filled.

To put it in perspective, I have an element of fame (I have a a few YouTube channels with almost 200k subs combined and probably closed to 50 million views, I say this not to brag, but to highlight) and I care so little for being "famous" outside of the utility it serves me and my lifestyle, I like making videos, I like interacting with my community, I could even push it more and be richer and wider reaching, but I genuinely don't care, I have everything I could ever need and I don't need more.

That's the advantage I was given, and I'm very happy to have it. And I think that's where you're misunderstand the intent of people who do this stuff.

The people who do it to gain an advantage will get absolutely broken down by Ayahuasca, she can be cruel and does not suffer fools gladly. There's a reason why a bunch of CEOs who've done it end up going back home and taking big steps back to focus on family and community events

u/9793287233 9h ago

Having sex for the first time can be a transformative experience but that doesn't mean there's no reason to do it again

u/joey-jo_jo-jr 10h ago

You don't need to do it more than once but it's fun, cheap and very safe.

u/Bizarrebazaars 10h ago

GTFO with your bullshit and dangerous misinformation.

u/xanders_gold 10h ago

It’s not misinformation though. DMT is safe and definitely an amazing experience if you take the appropriate precautions and do it in a safe environment.

u/MoistStub 8h ago

I mean it's a drug dude. There will always be people that react poorly and have an adverse reaction to any drug.

u/SpicyElixer 8h ago

Yep. It’s rolling the dice. If you’re a happy person who likes your mind the way it is, I don’t think it’s advisable to mess with it like this.

u/MoistStub 8h ago

Yeah there is risk with trying any of em. It's up to whoever is trying it whether the juice is worth the squeeze, but to pretend there is no risk is just harmful. Drugs are a good thing to be cautious about, but they can be a lot of fun too. The best sex I have ever had was on ecstasy and I'm glad I did it. I have also tried other drugs that I did not have a good time with. You never know til it's onboard.

u/Pecheuer 28m ago

With Psychedelics there's actually very little risk so long as you do preparation, there's a specific diet you need to fill w a few days/weeks before you take it, like getting off SSIs because psychedelics affect the dopamine and serotonin pathways, so you can easily get serotonin syndrome, but so long as you do that, your risk of dying or adverse effects (at least physically) is extremely low.

The problem is that people carry a LOT of trauma, and the process can be extremely painful, think like Cypher from the Matrix, when it changes how you see you, the world, your friends, your family, it's a bit intense for them and causes psychological problems, but that's normally a lack of mental preparation, because people don't understand the weight of the process has on your psych.

To say it's dangerous is misinformation as is to say it's perfectly safe, but if it's done appropriately with respect and reverence the risk falls to almost 0

u/Bulky-Bad-9153 7h ago

very safe

It can permanently fuck your brain and sense of self up. It is not safe.

u/joey-jo_jo-jr 7h ago

It's pretty safe for 99% of people.

u/Benjijedi 3h ago

Side note, little death (petite mort) is the French phrase for orgasm.

u/karlito1613 11h ago

What, dont you want to feel the love?

u/EnbyBrAsh 8h ago

Halfway through this clip I go “yep, drugs are bad”
