But by the time I was able to tag along on one of his foraging trips in October, he had moved to southern Poland, fearful for his and his family’s safety after a barrage of Russian missile attacks hit western Ukraine in late 2024. At the time, Hordubei was living south of the city of Lviv in western Ukraine, on the edge of the Carpathian Mountains. I wanted to understand what it meant to look for amanita in the wild, not just as an economic activity, but as a cultural practice. It may have started that way, as a source of supplemental food during times of scarcity and famine. She also started using amanita during the war and found that it helped her sleep — and gain a new appreciation for nature while living in an urban setting. Although the store only began selling amanita a few months earlier, Alexandra said the war coincided with a growing interest in microdosing for general wellness, as the psychedelic renaissance spread to Ukrain
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
Electrophysiological effects of 5-MeO-DMT DOI also led to a decrease in prefrontal cortical slow oscillations in anaesthetised animals, possibly decreasing global synchronisation21. More recently, the electrophysiological dynamics that underlie acute psychedelic experiences have begun to be investigated in rodents. State map analysis of the spectral profile of waking behaviour induced by 5-MeO-DMT revealed similarities to electrophysiological states observed during slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep.

In addition, DMT is a potent serotonin releasing agent with an EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration value of 81–114 nM and an EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy of 78%. DMT inhibited SERT-mediated serotonin uptake into platelets at an average concentration of 4.00 ± 0.70 μmol/L and VMAT2-mediated serotonin uptake at an average concentration of 93 ± 6.8 μmol/L. It has also been shown in vitro to be a substrate for the cell-surface serotonin transporter (SERT) expressed in human platelets, and the rat vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), which was transiently expressed in fall armyworm Sf9 cells. This may be of importance because chronic or frequent uses of serotonergic drugs showing preferential high affinity and clear agonism at 5-HT2B receptor have been causally linked to valvular heart diseas
Our Treatments 5-MeO-DMT can cause loss of consciousness, which may lead to bodily injury or even asphyxiation which can result in death. Preparation is what will allow you to make the most of your experience. Preparation is a crucial part of any 5-MeO-DMT experience. If you know others who have worked with this molecule, check in with them about their experience. Read everything you can about this molecule - its history, how and why people use it, how to prepare for it, how to integrate it, and the types of adverse events that people experience. Introduction and Rationale for Study Other 5-methoxytryptamines like 5-MeO-DET and 5-MeO-DPT were plagued by dose-limiting side effects that resulted in Shulgin having an unfavorable impression of them, whereas 5-MeO-DiPT and 5-MeO-DALT produced only light psychedelic effects. 5-MeO-DMT was one of the only psychedelics in TiHKAL that resulted in a plus-four experience on the Shulgin Rating Scale. With harmaline doses of 70 to 150 mg orally, 5-MeO-DMT becomes orally active at doses of 10 to 25 mg, the onset is 15 to 18 minutes, peak effects occur after 1.5 hours, and the duration is at least 3 or 4 hours. Use of 5-MeO-DMT is rare compared with other psychedelics, with only 0.003% of the United States general population having reported taking it in 2019 (compared to 8.5% for psilocybin
Cocaine. Cocaine is a white powdery drug which is an addictive stimulant. It increases dopamine levels, leading to euphoria and heightened energy. Cocaine is also manufactured in a rock form called crack cocaine which creates an intense high that kicks in faste
