Indigenous groups in South America have worked with plant-based sources for generations, particularly through the preparation of healing snuffs, while the toad medicine tradition appears to be a more recent phenomenon, primarily documented in the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. A 2019 study by the Beckley Foundation revealed that over 400 plant species potentially contain trace amounts of 5-MeO-DMT or its close chemical relatives. Underground circles share anonymized experience reports to build safety databases, and former skeptics in the medical establishment now call for accelerated clinical trials. Journali

Adverse effects of 5-MeO-DMT include sickness, vomiting, headache, chest pressure, fatigue, anxiety, fear, terror, confusion, paranoia, crying, loss of awareness and motor control, 5-meo-dmt and reactivations. It is found naturally in a wide variety of plant species, and is also secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the Colorado River toad (Incilius alvarius, formerly Bufo alvarius

Introducing Kanna Wellness: My Newest Business Venture to Support Well Being and Psychedelic Integration Neurobiologist Andrew Gallimore suggested in 2013 that while DMT might not have a modern neural function, it may have been an ancestral neuromodulator once secreted in psychedelic concentrations during REM sleep, a function now lost. Strassman noted similarities between self-reports of his DMT study participants' encounters with these “entities”, and mythological descriptions of figures such as Ḥayyot haq-Qodesh in ancient religions, including both angels and demons. Cliff Pickover has also written about the “machine elf” experience, in the book Sex, Drugs, Einstein, & Elves. Entities perceived during DMT inebriation have been represented in diverse forms of psychedelic ar

I experienced this as “light medicine,” as it facilitated a direct experience of connection with (not to) a higher power beyond this realm and beyond my comprehension. 5-MeO-DMT is a different class of drug from the Earth Medicines I am used to. And in this episode I am sharing all about it. I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic Bufo/Toad Medicine) for the first time, to a full releas

After the love and bliss from the experience faded, she was left to process a lifetime worth of repressed pain. We discuss practical considerations, such as guidelines for safely tapering off SSRIs before embarking on a psychedelic experience and navigating 5-meo-dmt contraindications between psychedelics and antidepressants. In this episode, Ben Malcolm (the Spirit Pharmacist) brings us into the intersection of psychedelics and pharmacolog

Participants gave written informed consent and received standard monetary compensation for their participation in the study. Participants using antidepressants or other psychoactive compounds at screening followed a tapering off and washout procedure prior to study entrance. The study was approved by the Dutch Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO) and the Medical Ethics Committee of the Academic Hospital of Maastricht and Maastricht University and conducted according to the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the code of ethics on human experimentation established by the declaration of Helsinki (1964) and amended in Fortaleza (2013). The study was conducted at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, The Netherlands. In the GH001 program, preparation and support is provided as part of standard medical care, and consists of standard informed consent, provision of a comfortable dosing environment, and availability of medical and psychological support throughout the stud

He hypothesizes that DMT is produced by the pineal gland—what Descartes termed “the seat of the soul” and what he calls the “spirit gland”—and is released during naturally occurring psychedelic states, including childbirth, the dying process, dreams, and a variety of subjective mystical experience

Rick Strassman – a pioneer in psychedelics research – says these results build upon previous studies in which the participants were told which drug they were taking. “What’s promising is how comparable these early signals look to results seen in trials of longer-acting psychedelics such as psilocybin.” A shorter psychedelic experience should reduce treatment costs, he says. A single dose of the psychedelic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT) had a rapid and sustained effect on depressive symptoms in a small trial. Spectral slopes were calculated in linear–log space by fitting a straight line to the spectral power between 20 and 120 Hz, in order to minimise the influence of state-specific oscillatory activities prominent during waking and sleep at lower frequencies, such as sigma (10–15 Hz), theta (6–9 Hz), and delta (0.5–4 Hz). The aperiodic analysis was performed on fast Fourier transform (FFT)–derived EEG power spectra for NREM sleep, baseline wake, and wake following an injection. REM sleep was scored when the occipital signal was mostly defined by theta activity (7 Hz to 12.5 Hz) with low EM
