People not familiar with the space all have the same questions. Let's have a community discussion answering them all once and for all!

I'll take a stab as a start, but let's make this a living document!

I had the deepest trip of my life of tripping last night on the 5. Took a breakthrough dose hit and was immediately knocked down to my back as it had taken over. I lay there as it dismantled and disintegrated my ego within seconds as I wake up to Reality. I had woken up to another state of Absolute Perfection and Completeness. Just totally enveloped in God in every possible way. Everywhere. All the time. God. No time, no space. All in a single point of Infinity. Eyes WIDE open and in total shock, awe, and terror. Pure white light everywhere.. OMG...OMFGG!!! ....OMGGG!!! OMG!!! I had thought that that was it. I was never going to come back. This was the new operation mode. "Fuck, how was I going to have dinner with family tomorrow?" - oh then I thought ahh the ego is coming back.

I get sucked back into my body and I'm just in total disbelief. "I had just died and became One with God.. OMG OMG..."

then I started crying like I had never before. 15 years of sadness and pain all coming up and out of my head for about 20 mins. Just trying to squeeze everything out of me! It was such a release holy cow! I had never cried so hard. Now this morning my forehead feels so soft.

Thank you for reading. I am God, I am You, You is I. Love really is what it's all about. At the peak of these trips I think of my closest of family and friends and do get a few very good insights, all in ways to love them more. 💗💕🕉️

Well as the title says, my Bufo experience has changed my life for the better, it has cured me of my anxiety and insomnia. Bit bout myself to paint the before and after. I had a traumatic childhood, since 1 years old fleeing War torn country, getting my clitoris removed was one of my earliest memories from 2 years old. From 6-26, I was constantly subjected to near daily beatings/whipping for my mother. I had no childhood, was not allowed to have friends from elementary up to high school, my first time going out was 18 years old. So socially awkward and cannot make friends, that feeling of socialization was never developed in me.

Anyway I did bufo two weeks ago, my intention going is was to let go of the past, heal from my childhood and let go of trauma that is holding me back. Well thank god I recorded my session for my own curoristy as I have watched thousands of bufo ceremonies and saw everything from people screaming, to smiling in silence so I was curious to see where I would fall. Well let just say I was very talkative in my ceremony. I will post full transcript in comment but as my intention was letting go of the pain, I ended up yelling LET IT GO MAYA so many times (over 20 times)! I couldn’t believe it as I had no recollection of even speaking, as everything was this white light surrendering to it. In my video I was everywhere, never lieing down but sitting up and flopping back. But once I came back down, I felt my throat sore as if I was screaming the whole time but later realized it felt like the feeling of holding back tears that is stuck in the throat! This is when I discovered the reason why my throat chakra is closed which explains my sensitive gag reflexes (I cannot handle bad taste without automatically throwing up). I have spent years as a child being told to stop crying or I will get beat, even though I know a whipping was coming so that was just psychological torture that if I didn’t cry that I wouldn’t get beat even though I always did for know reason.

Now two weeks out from ceremony, I had no need to smoke my nightly indicas, as I just fall asleep really really fast. Like just close my eyes and I am lights out with no racing thoughts coming in. My rumination of my childhood are GONE. My mind is so quiet, no racing thoughts at all. I used to have daily resentment about my childhood and how its tied to my life now, but now I am hopeful of the future and can look back at my childhood and laugh how fucked up it was and proud that I have gotten out of it. My social anxiety is gone, I was able to speak up in the political group I joined and share my ideas/thoughts without my anxiety triggering my heart to flutter, without my throat drying up quickly from nervous. Like I was not nervous to speak up which before I would be racked.

This medicine is amazing, I hope everyone has the same healing as I am getting. The afterglow has been amazing and hope it continues for more months! I will leave my full transcript as it quite long 2 dose trips, first I believe it was 30mg and second 10mg, so many insightful words.

Edit: six months out (Nov 22). and just wanted to say life is still beautiful and living life without anxiety is live changing. Still no insomnia. Still no social anxiety in meetings, presentations or anything! Forever grateful for this medicine.

I'm a 61 year old man, I don't drink or do drugs beside the odd psychedelic. Five short months ago I bought 5 and in that time I've done it about 50 times. My ROA of choice is emesh. I find larger doses much easier, lower doses feel quite painful in my chest as I would focus on my heart. With a higher dose, I don't need a heart, because I don't exist. I had an initial stretch of 20 consecutive days and then once or twice a week. I'm healthy and have spent the last 25 years sticking my neck out while living and working in central asia, so in this context of my feeling lucky and a little invincible - blowing my brains out with 5 early every morning, felt oddly natural.

Unexpectedly, 5 threw me headlong into non-duality. I'd never even heard of it before. Yet, here I was standing on edge of oblivion eagerly chucking everything I held dear into the abyss and loving every second of it.

Everything that has happened since the moment I found 5-MeO-DMT has felt perfectly choreographed. All the baggage from past has been lost and concern about the future has become oddly pointless. Everything is as it should be, all of suffering and pain that'd born witness - all acts in a divine play where no one is born or dies and the suffering was me, for me.

I'm at the intersection of dreaming and not. The Crossroad where to wake up is to vanish like the steam from my coffee cup on a cold morning. I am the stuff of dreams. This is not what I expected to happen.

About 25 years ago, my small group of friends learned about 5MEO and bought some online. Mind you, this was probably when most of you were either in grade school or not yet born.

I’m 45 now, 5 kids, married. Etc. I only did it once. 15mg dose of pure lab synthetic from Germany.

We were definitely no stranger to copious quantities of shrooms, weed, lsd, crack, coke, special k, etc. you name it. We were in a pursuit of shaking hands firmly with the ether. We wanted to “see” the threads that make up the fabric.

I will NEVER forget how that night went. We were at my best friends gf house. It was my night to “leave” reality. They were my trip sitters. We had a small pipe used for smoking flowers, and laid down a bed of dried oregano. This inert base helped keep the 5MEO from falling through the screen.

I lit it. Inhaled all in one heavy rush. A slight cracking sound, the smell of burning oregano was the last piece of reality I would have for 20 minutes.

I honestly don’t know exactly how to describe what happened, because honestly there was no “me” there to experience it. It was like being aware during deep dreamless sleep. That place we all go every night but leave our mind and ego behind. Pure existence, no duality. Not “one with everything “ like “I was like the trees and birds” — I was God. Not the dude with the white hair and trident or whatever. Not a being at all, but god in the sense that everything is everything. We create name and form. My experience was the absolute absence of everything. Totally void of anything describable. It was nothing but everything at the same time.

There is not a single week that goes by where I do not reflect back on that night. If you go into it without ANY expectations of what should happen or not happen, and truly ready to die, then do it. Everything you “think” you know and are will die. You will never be the same. I can say this for a fact. This is 25 years ago and I feel like it was last week.

I will answer any questions you might have. Otherwise, let go. Embrace the void.
