The Toad Venom That's Stronger Than DMT: Bufo | High Society

- Tulum is experiencing an explosion of people taking Bufo Alvarius. Also called “speed-toading,” it involves smoking the milked poison of the Sonoran Desert toad in a glass pipe and is considered to be the most powerful hallucinogen in the world. Now, growing numbers of psychedelic tourists are traveling to Tulum where Bufo ceremonies are legal, in search of a life-changing experience. However, there are many reports of profoundly negative experiences, lasting psychosis and allegations of sexual assault during ceremonies. VICE’s Matt Shea visits Tulum to see and experience this new Bufo tourism firsthand, to discover whether taking the world’s most powerful hallucinogen is worth the risk.

Why put this in English if they wanted in Spanish most likely they dont speak or understand English lol 😂 🤣 😅
One thing I’ve always hated, and will always hate, are people who pretend to be experts in a field where experts are truly rare.
Hating affects you more than anyone else.
Outstanding response 😂
I am getting ready for my first Ayuhuasca experience, and though it’s terrifying, my intention is clear.
To heal my wounds
Rodrigo is a wonderful shaman who actually grew up in the plant medicine community in his home town. I sat with him doing kambo multiple times and he was a great shaman
There are no experts on experienced practitioners.

Something that Hamilton Morris has pointed out is that the demand for Bufo venom is driving the toad to extinction. This is a pointless ecological catastrophe because the drug itself (5MeO DMT) can be synthesized, with chemicals available legally in Mexico and at a very low cost per dose.
Unfortunately, the psychedelic community is full of people who aren't great at logical thinking and they think it is somehow necessary to use a natural product instead of a synthetic drug despite the chemical equivalency of both forms.
I saw that video and I agree. We need to leave the poor toads alone
Excellent point
Your so right most of these “healers” are idiot modern day space hippies who know nothing about pharmacology and basic chemistry
Came here to point out this. HM (as close as we have to an ambassador, and all-around good fella) can’t be happy that the same outfit responsible for propagating his message/s so blatantly ignores one of his most insistent themes (not to mention, this being the specific example he uses to reinforce his perspective on the theme). Smdh
I think most use synthetic but market it as the real road juice just to exploit the market. How would you know? Does real toad 🐸 taste different?
I have complex PTSD and Fibromyalgia, Not only did psychedelics help save me from an intense desire to not be alive. The rage is gone, I quit smoking cigarettes, Im eating healthy and exercise regularly. I've been on disability for 12 yrs and I'm actually planning on trying to go back to work. It's given me a quality of life I've never had before
I've taken magic mushrooms in chocolates and while I do get more happier and active, I also get tired faster
I consider psilocybin mushrooms a gift from God. I always get mine from a professional mycologist who grows them and he has spores and will guide you on how to microdose best.

The fact the doctor takes you to a remote island where the only escape back to mainland is through the doctor throws some red flags for me
It's not an island they are in midget jungle in Tulum
@@pachamamarecords why by boat? Why did it say island?
Bacalar is a lake, and they were an island nearby, why would you want to escape if you went to a ceremony is because someone you trust recommended it to you
@@dooooooval904
There's no place far enough that you can run to that will allow you to escape what's in your own head. The lack of surrendering and needing to control an outcome of a spiritual experience is the true red flag here.
@@Gh0stH0stTwenty2-2s There are no red flags. You both need to go deeper.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that the shaman just ignored and even reinforced the claims about abuse and assault during such psychedelic ceremonies? This was a very powerful documentary, but it truly shocked me how ignorant and unaware the "so-called" guides were about these allegations. The audacity to say that the women are at fault for "creating a reaction" in the man is so banal and absurd.
That Shaman he interviewed on the beach seemed to have ethical practices, having a female present and being administered in a public space, for examples.
I think it was good that Matt found, but trusted, a shadier one for his own trip. It gave a good contrast.
I would have preferred the second one, myself, but I'm male. Except that he gave a lower dose.
Yeah I was surprised that this wasn't the main subject of the documentary.
He chose the most expensive retreat. The shaman did not stay sober.
When asked, he said that women who experience assault in this environment have themselves to blame.
And he reiterated that after being given a chance to hide behind a 'language barrier ' by his colleague.
Deadass just did the classic “they were asking for it, because they wore clothes I liked”
To be fair I just watched the last two minutes after I made that comment - and he did surface that himself.
But really.. that's the opening scene imo.
soft bro. its their culture. open ya mind like this documentary. wake up
From someone who has experimented with psychodelics...its a quick fix that doesnt last forever. Overcoming trauma takes years of dedicated practice. The same can be said for self love
and i don't feel like these allies 'fix' anything. the only thing that can 'fix' you is you. but they do lend insight as the root to the problems. and give guidance on what steps to take next. it also depends on your intention going into these journeys. u get out what u put in.
100%
It might be helpful as part of the healing process but it's not going to cure your mental illness
I agree, you have to be willing to change in order for you to end ur own suffering, like the buddha said “Be your own savior”
100% agree. with this second huge wave of psychedelics coming into the main stream and people using them for "medicinal" reasons, the purpose and power of psychedelics are getting lost. it can open your eyes temporarily and assist with making changes, but the real work is done every day while sober. you can learn everything from the universe during a trip but it really doesn't mean anything if it can't be applied in real life. like if the only way a person can get to an enlightened state is through drugs, then are they really enlightened? ive also experimented with psychedelics and found them detrimental in some ways, since your consciousness is so heightened during a trip, when you come down it can feel like life is too hard to live, or that the journey to get to where you wanna be spiritually is too far away. this isn't in this video specifically, but i've seen a lot of people recommending psychedelics to everyone and that they can "help anyone that tries them" but this is misinformation and doesn't take into account mental health issues, trauma, and even a person's genetics. i'm just commenting cause i thought i was the only one that felt this way. it's comforting on some level to know other people see that it really is just a quick fix that doesn't last forever or magically fix a person's perspective or life.
@@YouAreDreamingRightNow That is correct. Psychedelics aren't a fix to trauma as I would know with C-PTSD. They do not cure it, but they will give you guidance, healing and new viewpoints. Then we have to do the work ourselves, which surely is not always easy. Changing others is impossible, changing yourself is hard too.
I just tried DMT for the first time. I felt as if i was in the center of the universe. I didn't go crazy after such an extreme experience. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction
Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, I would love to feel same man , how do you source em
dr.laryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
YES, dr.laryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
It would be great to hear in more detail about your mystical experiences during meditation.
hm. Can dr.laryshroom dispatch to me in LA?
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.

He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
I think it's irresponsible for Vice to talk about bufo and not talk about the toad's threat to survival due to the overharvesting by these neoshamans. The toad is extremely important to the Yaqui tribes and they have asked to use synthetic 5 M3O for ten years so the population can come back 🙏🏻

That guy saying getting assaulted is partially the fault of the victim is absolutely disgusting

Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked. Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.

I had a psychedelic experience once that sent me to eternity and meeting the creator. My ego dissolved yet I was physically terrified. It was so magical and so full of love, changed my life for good. In the most positive way possible.
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
I do respect and believe in psychedelics as treatment, yet I’m reluctant about using them personally. Not sure about how “good” it may do to someone

Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
Maybe you just did: drugs? Bro 😅
Highly appreciate this guy's approach to this documentary. Very honest, and stays in reality and stand by the truth. He wasn't buying into the cover-up. I think you're absolutely dead on accurate. There's a real sexual assault issue that absolutely needs to be addressed and the viewers need to be aware of this if they choose to go to something like this.
Yeah but most of these women probably get naked under the influence since they are abused and abusers themselves, so they want to tango. Ask the black lady why she didn't want to be filmed while high. She was probably tangoing with the dude in the tent. Thats why her eyes were red and her lips looked swollen. islanders are freaks
how scary it is to think that some people go completely alone into and experience like this just trusting their luck. At the end of the video the woman and that guy totally revealed themselves and their disgusting predatory behaviour
Yeah that was crazy. That shaman understood what he was asking him. That bastard basically admitted to raping people when they're helpless..even if a woman happens to have a rape fantasy let's say, she should be getting rid of it by using Bufo. The Shaman should just be there to help protect ppl that's it.
what do you mean? i didnt get that feeling at all... its not crazy to assume someone had a crazy reaction and slipped off her bikini top.. and then didnt realize she did it when she came back to reality... edit: oh ok nvm you were talking about the shaman at the end end, not the first shamans.
If he did mean to say that a woman is to blame for her raping if all she did was wear a mini skirt and have a slight sexual energy about them, then that's insanely worrying.
If he's just saying don't trust the first guy you see with literally your whole mind and body, then yeah.. Absolutely! (Maybe he's even thinking about / pointing out specific shady shamans)
Didn't come off like that though tbh. Very creepy...
he’s been smoking too much where he ended up blowing himself up and he knew it, looked at the girl to step in and help him out. seedy scum bags taking advantage and getting paid for it wow
@@dn8443 "Shaman" is just another way for a predator to con religious fools
"I quite like the part of me that doesn't believe in little dwarves, and I really don't want it to disappear." A valid concern
Unless I could get them to help me with cleaning the house 🤔🤔🤔
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
Micro dosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode enough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Spain. Really need
They saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
Can he send to me in Germany?
Sure, I got mine posted here in Luxembourg. The service was considered
The last shaman, his mentality on abuse, is absolute insanity. Victim blaming. Totally right, takes one person to commit sexual assault. He’s dangerous. It’s a breeding ground for sexual assault and abuse. Both physical and mentally.
timestamp?

@@Diadras Thanks
So the shaman is actually right with his statement, which non the less is not no excuse. Look at it from this point of view. One does not dress in a miniskirt to go to church on Sunday (unless they seek to provoke) and one does not go to the nightclub all covered up like a nun (except for Halloween maybe). Unfortunately maturity is a virtue often overlooked by a lot of girls and women nowadays. Don't be naive and try to be safe, since there are no guarantees one can at least reduce the chances.
@@therelentlesswan 💯 agree.
This is why it should be recorded. For the safety of the client and the administrator
My thoughts exactly! ❤
Nope, there are NO laws and rules in third world countries, chances of your naked videos on porn websites being uploaded after such recordings are MUCH HIGHER than any actual justice being served in those countries.
As someone who works professionally in this space with licensed clinicians, a lot of these shamans made me horrified. If you’ve experienced or worked professionally with these drugs, you know how important safety is. It makes me nervous seeing how many “wellness retreats” are run by people without any modicum of psychological or medical training. This was a really important documentary, the abuses and lack of training in this space is appalling, thank you Vice.
Dmt, LSD and psilocybin containing mushroom are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with OCD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Spanish is my first and main language, I can certify that there was nothing lost onin translation here. He understood the question and answered it honestly based on his views. The majority of the world still has a lot to learn around victim blaming. Claiming he’s a man as if that justifies him from having any responsibility or control over his impulses… geeeeeeeeez. Comparing rape to falling while walking in a cave. No, no. One is an accident. Another is an intentional, meditated, and voluntary horrendous crime perpetrated and justified by monsters. Good luck getting your bufo to heal you from that. As for Vice, excellent documentary and we should also add information on the impact this practice is having on the toads. Thanks for your work!
it's crazy one of the most important things psychedelics have tought me is to have control over my urges, not that i'd ever touch a woman but in general with drugs, alcohol, smoking etc
That dude made Gerry seem like a Saint
And where was his openness of conscience and union with the pacha mama? Did he also go on the trip?
Y su apertura de conciencia y unión con la pacha mamá donde quedó? También se fue en el viaje? 😮
All decisions come with risk. Humans often overlook risk in their decision making when they are desperate.
I think two questions are being asked here.
One is moral, the other is legal.
Should women be more careful, men more gallant, the world more safe, and who should be legally culpable for a crime that we (rightfully) consider a crime?
An ideal world would have no suffering. A preferable world would see that this industry get regulated to hell and back.
so if you are a woman, and you are getting ready to go on such a experience where you are going to be vulnerable.. wouldnt it be a good idea to bring a third party (a friend) thats gonna wach over you?
how are you just jumping into stuff with no regard? ofc the man that takes advantage is at fault, but if you are aware that this kind of stuff is happening, why wouldnt u take precautions?
for example, i lock my door everytime i leave the house.. even tho it would be wrong for someone to enter my house and steal all my stuff.. i still cant just leave my door open.
would u blame me if i had no door at all, i went to work and came back with all my belongings missing.. would u victim blame me?
If I ran the center, I would at the very least require each ceremony to be recorded for the safety of the client and the administrator. I really liked the last guy and then he said that and totally lost all respect. Not all men are creeps but unfortunately there are 'healers' that are actually predators
That’s true. Women out there be careful when you do psychedelics
Idk…maybe some clients might not want to be filmed?
I think that saying, someone allowed them selves to be in a vulnerable position and they bare responsibility for that action is different than saying they deserved something bad or a SA act is their fault. if you walk in the street and get hit by a car, who's at fault? you didn't deserve that, but you chose to walk in the street. bad things and bad people exist in this world. expecting nothing bad will ever happen to anyone or anything is not realistic. you have to actively protect yourself. you don't go spinning around a loaded gun and just expect it will never go off. that's just how i see what he was saying.
Like a girl wearing short a short skirt has the blame if the guid rapes her, incredible....
@galedribble9535 Would be an ironclad NDA for sure but it would be mandatory IMO
Jordan explaining her trip and why she kept saying sorry brought tears to my eyes because I felt exhaustion that comes with mental health. Ironically my name is Jordan too, all power to her

One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my life is taking psychedelics and recommending them to people because I had so many revelations in my own experience. I'm unaware if anyone ever took my advice, but from my last few trips, I now realize that psychedelics are a dice roll on either the best journey you will ever have in your life or the worst mental torture you will ever experience.
Not really I’ve done 100+ dmt ceremonies and have never had a bad trip but because I’ve done it with shamans
@@julietteexll yes, really : believing your own experience summarizes every other experience other humans can have is exactly the kind of mental illness anyone should avoid.
if you think about it, you will realize that the europeans who forced christianity onto the native american population had exactly this pattern of thought in mind : "i've been to church since my childhood and it always was good, hey, let's convert these people who do not yet realize our shaman in rome is the more competent one !"
besides, if you think a "bad trip" is a problem in itself that should be avoided at any costs, you probably haven't learned much from your "100+ dmt ceremonies"...
@@julietteexll You are very fortunate.
I’ve done DMT several times, LSD more times than I can remember, and shrooms a few times. I’ve smoked a lot of weed and a few times had semi-psychedelic experiences. I have had a good amount of bad experiences. I don’t regret a single one or consider it a mistake. They’re are extremely valuable experiences. The contribution they have made to my growth spiritually far surpasses anything I received growing up and I very much needed. Even the bad times. It all matters. If you expected all good, you should stay away from any substance because you’re in for a shock. Bad experiences are inevitable. Balance is necessary. This is just a principle of this reality. I think psychedelics are extremely important for western culture right now, as the lifestyle that is popularized and encouraged is very far from any kind of spirituality and gets further every year. The truth is these substances, or medicines if you prefer, are a very harsh way to wake you up from the haze that no spirituality creates. The traditional way to do this is with meditation and prayer. In various different way. But it’s much slower and more guided. A much safer way to open yourself up. Psychedelics just force you open, so there’s no protection against any negative energies that may come your way, especially if you’re not used to it. They’re not bad. But if you misuse them, you will be punished. If anything, I learned to have respect and love for every part of it. From synthesis to consumption to integration.
I’ve done mushrooms and LSD like close to 100 times and DMT about 30 times and I’ve never had a bad trip. Just lessons and maybe darker vibes but if you just embrace the experience it’s all good I feel like when you don’t let go completely and let the drugs take control is when you have that bad trip.
so awesome this reported did it and did an amazing job. happy to hear the trip went well. you can see the weight lifted in his walk post experience... so wild

@mycofynn
Love and compassion towards myself as well as other living beings and gratitute , open communivation, setting boundaries taking the pain to know your true self and courage to take the difficult part of self discovery, self acceptance helped me with my mental illness.Drugs will just be a short term solution.Others experiences may be different but this is what helped me.
Explaining a DMT breakthrough is hard because so much happens in such little time, but also feels like an eternity. It’s truly astounding.
Out of all my DMT experiences,only one was semi like this. Most of them deal with other dimensional beings, but there was only really one that I felt as if I was in the center of the universe.
Psychedelics and consciousness are both amazing individualities, and even far more fascinating combined. I've also been experimenting with mapping DMT experiences thru auditory manipulation. I always seem to go back to some sort of Egyptian hyperspace, possible anuaki origin or ultimately human big bang or the bringing or becoming of words ultimately primal birth of human kind. Consciousness from the ether as a physical matter or substance....
@@moniquesacks2953 Oh wow. I never had one that had anything to do with other dimensional beings. Sacred geometric patterns, amazing feelings of love. No one ever said anything to me about not taking meds, not eating or anything like that. I had AMAZING and profoundly transformative experiences. I have had several experiences over the past year and remember every single second of each of them. I was also conscious of and had control over my body. I preferred to let go so I could experience bufo to the fullest, so I did.
Agreed.
I just found that video and was like: what? Bufo? What's that? There is nothing stronger than 5-MeO-DMT and yes, what they call "Bufo" is exactly 5-MeO, so gotta admit the fact that it is a bit dangerous to consume a substance you really know nothing about more than just anecdotal evidence. Shout out to Colorado Toad and Ayahuasca shaman experience.
That last facilitator really gave me a bad feeling. The fact that he was also taking bufo while administering it to others followed by his "two to tango" comments almost seem like him giving himself plausible deniability.
Very interesting. Well done mate.

It's a psychological trait called openness. I have an intense desire to experience everything. This is very tempting to me, but i don't want to run the risk of a bad trip, and it damaging who I am.
@@user-pf9rn5bj4f i think he was joking and you missed 😄
I think what happened is back in the primordial times when they didn't have very much food they were trying to survive and they cook the toad on a fire and they inhaled the smoke from it cooking on the fire cuz they were going to eat the toad and it had that effect on them and that's what peaked there interest in the first place. Toads would be really easy to catch and eat.

Learning to lead with love first can only be done when it’s chosen in each situation you’re in. Just my thoughts 💭
I agree. I don't think that this ego death thing is suppose to be achieved trought any kind of drugs or medicine or whatever. I mean, sure it's a nice shortcut but when you come back to reality and all is the same again after a couple of days, then what's the point?! Humanity is bound to achieve it someday but trought the practice of meditation and the sharing of love. Love is the key to everything!
I believe authentically living ones life is the ultimate ego death. Authentically living, truly, is beyond ego. It is coming from the heart space, the soul space. It may not come across what I am attempting to describe in a short comment, but it is an idea I have been exploring. From observing many people, including myself, to live authentically is impossible to come from an imbalance with the ego. Now, the ego is essential, without it, I am nothing, a blob of no thing without existence, without experience. So living authentically, feels healed, feels, I know myself, and let go of who I thought myself was, and now get to be, who a really am. I say all of this, as maybe experiences such as this, are part of the journey, that leads one to this waters. So many nuances of wording or experiences to arrive at the place of our individual experience amongst a collective experience we are all yearning for. ((also, I am so happy to hear this for you. thank you for your journey! your comment feels good. like "aha! eureka!" you've found it :))
@@kylewalker5891 Awesome! You said it much more eloquently than I did 😊
@@DionisioSoares-mb1po Love is key. I find trying to lead with it when I want to yell, scream or whatever, it take great courage and pause to commit to loving oneself and certainly others 🙂
What if living life is the thing that makes you wanna die?
Hearing her talk when she came out of rent gave me goosebumps
I'm glad this video has come to light. The disgusting guy saying and REVEALING HIS AUTHENTIC PERSONALITY saying that a rape victim is partly to blame. Keep his name and his face in your memory if you go to him.
I grew up in the Sonoran desert and I know these toads from the wild very well. Two even mated in my pool growing up. I even helped relocate some to a safer part of the desert away from houses and pools after that. People need to leave these toads alone. They are sacred, cool irl, funny friendly and now becoming critically endangered. People have no business doing anything other than respecting the space of these cool animals and letting them be and certainly not messing with them. This whole thing makes me so mad and even the local tribes have no historical shamanic use for these creatures. It's specfically a modern phenom pushed by reporting like this that is not good for the few toads left in the wild. Also they are enormous irl like the size of a small plate and loud asf and smart
Thanks for sharing! They seem like really cool animals. It’s sad that people could have the same effect without the harmful consequences to the toads, just by creating it synthetically (for cheap) and they still won’t! I need to do some more research on why!
Totally agree! Glad you shared that!!!
Right on. It’s not like they get to express their grievances and it’s important for people to care. ❤
Do we really need to endanger those toads because Stacy can't forgive her mom for not buying her happy meal when she was 8 and Benjamin feels uncomfortable when talking to people?
Right, they showed us, now it can be synthesized, leave the frogs alone instead of wiping them out. Humanity is an absolute disgrace I'm ashamed to be a part of it, unfortunately the ones who can make a difference have no shame

Certainly, he’s an exceptional mycologist, and i highly recommend his expertise.
I don't consider myself an overly spiritual person but I do enjoy an occasional psychedelic trip, so I dive into this world from time to time and meet these types of people. I enjoy their company at first, kind and peaceful, oozing love and freedom, but after spending some time with them, I very often find something repulsive, worrying or downright scary in the way they talk, think or behave. That fucking creep at the end gave me the chills because it reminded me of these people and made me realize that in most cases the repulsive thing is their hidden predatoristic vibe (of course I don't mean to generalize but there is certainly a 'type')

You totally explained my time with psychedelics. I am female, and this tended to happen most times when I want with my triping buddy. Creepy
Exactly. Once you escape reality you escape morality. God bless.
It's teh circular thinking. If they're free then so are you and therefore you are allowed whatever transgression as generalized norms don't apply anymore.
I ve met the most narrow minded people after a second glance and often at first glance in the esoteric scene. They often think that they are so tolerante but at the end they are not really only wearing this coat of tolerance and peace.
As someone who has suffered with mental illness and depression the majority of my adult life. I just tried DMT for the first time, I felt as if I was in the center of the universe. Totally got healed.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
Been through this conversation before. I can’t do anything without a proper medical professional following me.
YES, he is dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
Never done DMT but have done shrooms and KET, lot's of patterns and hallucinations being displayed
hm. Can dr.perryshroom dispatch to me in Tx?
I had this experience 1 year ago the best experience of my life since i was born! I quit tabaco right away and the life i live now is just different.
Psychedelics is a tool in which the universe uses to connect with us, we understand without words
We listen without distraction, we understand without words and we agree without arguments.
Psychedelic really healed me years back. These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.
Source out some in my bio
Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back.

A lot of people have testified about this, I would like to try them out.
It's nice that shrooms are being normalized. About damn time! They’re God's gift to mankind
It’s wild, everyone’s feel of shrooms is different though.
I’m just wondering to the people who have taken shrooms, how is the first experience?
Most comments I’ve read on various videos say one trip had helped them get over depression and they are happier, I’m just wondering is it as life changing as made out?
@@Adz.23yes, can be life changing or can be pure hell. Best to try them in a real ceremony, not on your own

That last bit was really loaded oml
losing the ego, your entire lifetime of conditioning, is terrifying. But, so necessary if you want to view the world as if you weren't told what to think it was.
Here, take another hit!!
Giving someone 100 mg on their first trip it’s absolutely crazy. I don’t doubt about those allegations on dr Gerry because he looked pretty unprofessional
I was given 100mg for my first and only bufo experience. it was terrifying, but also beautiful. i would say it was definitely a positive experience however i have had no desire to do it again. i got some minor re-activation the night of the experience but other than that i would say the entire thing faded away and was forgotten pretty quick
I found this extremely anxiety provoking just to watch, no way would I ever do this! 😮
5 meo dmt is not the psychedelic to begin with as it is extremely powerful. Interestingly as or even more potent because much longer lasting you don't find much about iboga. Nevertheless psilocybin has a huge scientific backup.
@@EflodurI read that psilocybin caused too much iron into the organs and destroys the body from too much iron and cardiac arrest
Its because your ego reject to die or you fell shamed of your self in any way you dont want to confront
I've done it 3 times and love it
Cuz u got no balls
It’s incredible how many positive stories there were in his experience but how he focused on the few negative ones. It’d be interesting to see what % of experiences are considered negative vs how much time this episode gave to them
Go away bot
im realizing i lost a friend who lost herself in what might have been a psychosis. she opted to drown herself. her behaviour and apperances had changed a lot over 2 years, and she became more and more 'out there'. I didnt know she was experimenting, but the way she talked and behaved just didnt make sense to me. she would visit me and the internet started to act weird, and she seem so so sad underneath this seemingly bubbly surface. she would never get into real conversation on how she was doing, just too curious and young and beautyfull. all the while her beautifull green/blue eyes glowed and glowed and glowed
I didnt understand. I think I do now ❤
Psychedelics, MDMA, and traditional healing have powerful roles in psychological healing with solid research backing. This is absolutely terrifying though. People who are psychotic or have a family history of psychosis, should not do hallucinogens, EVER. Serotonin syndrome, sudden, dramatic increases in symptoms from withdrawing medication, poisoning, allergic reactions, and assault, are all very real risks here.
Some of these neo-shaman are just narcissistic, half-baked, self-appointed “empaths” who feed their ego by feeling that they’re special and holy people. Some are unintentional but many are intentional and knowing predators.
This is a very relevant and important comment. I completely agree, thank you.
Good comment. Thank you for raising awareness of these posers.
Bullshit
This should be top comment.
❤ Very Powerful Statement. As I suffer from mental health issues & have had traumatic experience from drugs
It truly hit home hearing Jordyn’s conversation after her ceremony 🥹🫶🏽
I totally got what the shaman was saying. On a 3-D level, it sounds like victim blaming. On a soul level, we all choose every experience we have in the physical, including victimization. He was simply speaking from this higher perspective.
From my soul perspective, I chose to come in and experience certain specific traumas in order to help to transmute those energies, to have the opportunity to heal ancestral traumas, collective traumas, to have the opportunity to break cycles and create something new. I absolutely chose my experiences from this higher perspective!
There was totally a language barrier, but I don't think it was so much a Spanish or Indigenous language vs. English issue, as it was a 3D / higher self perspective issue. (In which case there is no "verses," there is simply integration).

I personally got emotional watching Jordan froth about over her trauma and non-grief process. Without taking bufo I myself can go into very deep meditation and I myself have experienced some amazing alternate realities. Sometimes i am greeted by an extraterrestrial and that entire encounter is all mind to mind from thereafter.
100mg is an INSANE dose. Another dose was definitely not necessary and prob a bad idea. Im glad he said no. 45mg is enough for anyone to leave their body.
thank you, somebody with sense 😂
Sensitivity varies widely from one person to the next. For sure 100mg is far too much for many people.
We generally dose between 70-100 mg. Bufo at 45 mg is a different experience. We do not consider that breakthrough dosing. Bufo contains small amounts of other alkaloids. You need a large dose to get the neurogenic benefit or you should stick with synthetic to conserve the toad 🐸🫶
Sounds like you talking from experience lol
@@katesandoval_mc I've never done the synthetic version, but from what I've heard said about it the experience is nothing like the bufo experience. Honestly the synthetic sounds terrible.

It's good that they give a lot of warnings here.
@DeffJims What does that mean?
People who are administering they should never be under the influence. And definitely if somebody is on this it is not their fault what takes place during it because the other people are there to keep them safe.
And thank you for bringing that to light for everyone that is listening to your video.
I never used that specific stuff but when I used substances in my younger years people would take advantage during those times when you were out of control. People who are supposed to be there to keep the ladies safe.
Also I was truly questioning the allowance to go out into the water and float. While in a state where you're really not capable of handling yourself. All that would take is one wrong move and people not watching at that time.
You’re watching a corporatized version of bufo. In traditional shamanic ceremonies, it’s not uncommon for the shaman to take the medicine to guide you on your journey.
It’s something you won’t understand until you experience it. That realm of our mind is reserved for those who want to go there, and there are many shaman (professionals) who can guide you.
@@TheSunshineGroup Exactly, I was about to reply that. In traditional shamanic ceremonies the common thing is for the shaman to take the medicine too to connect easier with you and guide you if needed.
That last part was hilarious. I was expecting him to say "oh yeah that's terrible" not "well why she wearing a skirt then?" lol. You know that shaman got fired. Lady next to him was trying to save face. Haha
Animal abusers are not sacred, healers or anything. They lack compassion.
I'd rather be depressed and full of empathy forever than be like the people in the video.
A doco on this phenomenon pressed through the lens of Vice is going to expose more about the would of Vice, than the world of the psychedelics
The guy on the beach was the only true shaman with integrity. I would've done the ceremony with him. It's so sad that the guy who he did bufo with was such a creep... really puts a negative light on what can be a transformational experience.
dude, you dont even know what youre talkign about. google dr gerry abuse and youll find out.. he LOOKS like the cleanest because he is the dirtiest and learned how to hide it all
The "true" shaman is in your heart. Have the courage to seek him out.
All you need are perseverance and sincerity.
Meditate.
I've met the last "shaman" and know him. One of the most egoistic personalities I've ever encountered and he is 100% in for the money. That's why he works where he does.
I'd recommend going to such ceremonies with a group of sane friends for safety
@@hakuprosessikanava he also gave me the ick. if he's talking about the first guy he looked high himself.
That trashy hippie at the end that calls himself a "shaman" is a monster, no doubt that has happened to him before and took advantage of women. Hopefully he doesn't get any more clients.
90% of these “enlightened egoless” shamans are like this. Boundaries no longer exist
I met this guy and I was so turned off by him. Crazy to see this and now understand why
The last shaman blaming the victim for what she was wearing, that so dangerous. The body has nothing to do with this kind of trips. How dare you to touch a person in a state of unconsciousness and also blame the clothes they she was wearing?
also, very interesting the video and the conclusions. nice video. putting all thhe cards on the table
His "Fear from that bufo experience" (at 11:57) was something that was brought to the surface to be resolved but he didn't have the tools or guidance to do so. An existential fear of not existing...and trust me, I know, having had a similar experience. This is why INTEGRATION and being guided through that is soooo important. To Recognize that you are always safe and that post-Bufo comes the REAL WORK. To let go fully and surrender to the power of unconditional love, which, on it's face looks like fear, feels like fear, but all it is, is a fear of the death of the illusion of control and duality, and stepping filly into the unknown. On the other side, if you let go into that "portal", is pure, unconditioned love. Nothing else...
Phsychedelics helped me quit illicit pills addiction, I was messed up I was depressed and a danger to myself. Good videos and help like this should be seen always.
makes you wonder what kind of experience the toad is having
Profound ego death

i had a lot of comments to make, especially regarding the last 5 minutes of this which were very revealing and thought provoking. i wont go into them other than to say that this doc and the host handle the topic very well. well done. i hope a lot of people are left thinking about all of this, from the drug itself, to the retreats that charges thousands of dollars, to simple human morality.

Well that was creepy at the end with the "shaman" especially when he's doing the drugs too. Glad he exposed that guy at least.
I have treatment resistant depression. Don’t have a single memory of a moment it has not haunted me. I’ve done psychedelics. They provided me immediate relief. This relief lasted beyond the drugs effects, but potency wears off after a few months.
Funny thing is, I also meditate and after a year of regular practice, meditation gets me to the same exact place psychedelics do, but often clearer, and it’s far more sustained. It takes more work. You have to have self discipline and the courage to look at yourself, even the parts you don’t want. But the way he described his trip at the end, I thought “sounds just like meditation.” You don’t need drugs to become the wind. That already exists within your raw mind.
This is the way
AWESOME!!!! Thanks!!!@@cocoakusubuu7100
were you taking mushrooms constantly without a tolerance break?
Yeah, definitely wouldn't feel super comfortable with these kind of people administering the drug and supervising the trip. In a clinical setting this can and will definitely unfold strong therapeutic potential.

Its so self focused. The words I, me, and my are all over the place
Yes. This is like diet pills for weight loss. Healing pills without healing. The effects fade. Integrating is mundane and slow but yields results.
It’s literally about SELF transformation lol
This method is intended for self improvement. How do you expect people to refer to themselves? From my bufo experience I realized how our time on this planet is nano seconds when put in the context of how long Earth has existed. I realized the WE (the people on this planet) are all in this together. WE are ONE with every living being, organism, micro-organism, everything on this planet & we all have a role in ensuring life on this planet. Call me self focused but if I can’t love or care for myself, how can I love or care about anyone else?
God bless you Jordan ❤
The comments of that last "shaman" needs to be a warning to everyone going into these things. He speaks of the experience of going into a cave. He is the rabid bat within.
And this 'retreat' was the most expensive....lots of novelty nonsense beforehand too for show. That 'shaman' has no moral compass and very worrying he's in a position of power over vulnerable people
That guy embodies the stereo type of the seedy guy at a psy trance festival.
@@penelope5079 You and the commenter above may be the only people who watched all the way through. I scanned the comments to see if there might be confirming or consonant messages, but they just want to put in their 2 cents about psychedelics and their personal experiences.

There is a desperate attempt to rehabilitate the comments by the "retreat leader," but if claims were allegations, and allegations were criminal complaints, a prosecutor would definitely have a use for this video.
@@Cletus_the_Elder Exactly, truly horrifying and disgusting mindset. This is the kind of person leading people into their healing journeys in one of the strongest substances? For fuck's sake. If I ever did bufo I would only go to women only retreats with women shamans.
@@Cletus_the_Elder exactly. I may be biased due to multiple encounters with some of the most delusional and egotistical 'spiritual' teachers/ healers/ shamans etc....i can see through them instantly and the nonsense they are spouting. Although I run a mile, I really feel for the folk who don't have the discernment to be able to suss them out. Discernment is one of the toughest lessons on the spiritual path, especially if you are open, optimistic and naive. I used to be but my experiences have made me much more wary and cynical. The reality is, there are very few genuine, 'real deal' healers/ helpers/ teachers at the level of consciousness that's above this nonsense. They are the ones you don't hear about, as they don't have to shout about how enlightened they are. If you are lucky enough to come across such a being and that's part of your journey, it's a real blessing. I'm not sure if there is any point in trying to find them though. If you are meant to meet, you will.
Do not ever stop taking antidepressants or antipsychotics or mood stabilizers, cold turkey...never ever. Always talk to your doctor about weening off before changing anything.
This is true. Can't speak for many but my docs have alway switched me off cold turkey never tapered. I had to tell them to do it. Mum's a nurse has seen patients on high doses of meds just cut off without a second thought of withdrawl
I find it odd that some people do this but need to come back..
What's the point of doing it again if it's supposed to have healed you?
I totally agree these people just love to trip 😂 I honestly don’t believe any of these sessions resolves your issues just like any drug it’s a short term fix
@@peterolley7159 Yeah, the whole thing is shady. It's basically a dealer situation disguised as "spiritual awakening professional".

Heck, even the bible has good life advice/ truths about life.
No need to risk damaging your brain.
This is all pseudo new age garbage…look at all these so called “enlightened” shamans taking advantage of the people seeking help from trauma. I think psychedelics have benefits but as humans we are only meant to know so much. Our trust needs to be in God.
No, this doesn't heal you. What it does is *show* you. It gives you an experience, a different perspective on what it means to be alive, to be you.
What you do with that experience is up to you.
@@Rongez well, that's what I meant by heal..
Why do it again if you already got shown what needed to be shown to you.
