Betting on Bufo

Hola Psychedelic Curious Peeps!

Imagine that you’ve been experimenting with alcohol and smoking since your early teenage years. Now that you’re pushing 50, you are convinced that it’s a part of your DNA, then…POOF! one day, about a month later after doing Bufo, your addiction to nicotine ceases to exist! Just like that, like Magico, your addiction is gone! Almost a year later and you haven’t even faltered once…

This was my experience after doing Bufo for the first and only time at AnarchAwakening, 2024!! Why the use of exclamation? Well, because Bufo is considered the most intense psychedelic spiritual rollercoaster you can experience.

What is Bufo you ask? Well, Bufo aka Bufotenin and 5-MeO-DMT is the secretions from the Sonoran Desert toad, which is a local toad in the Sonora, Chihuahua region in Mexico. The secretions of the toad are extracted and broken down into a form that is then taken via inhalation. For the best results, first set the intentions of what you want the medicine to focus on and then above all else “Let the Medicine Do What It Needs to Do.”

Let go of control as you will be under the trusted watch and guidance of BearHeart our gentle giant shaman. Lay back, relax and focus on your breath and let the psychoactive rollercoaster take its course. Everyone’s experience varies, with folks reporting very emotional experiences, out-of-body experiences, and even experiences where everything starts to make more sense (what a lovely freedom this would be!).

If you were looking at the world with a blurry perspective, this medicine helps to bring things into “focus” and enhance your senses. It is quite an enlightening, intense experience, though shorter than the mushroom ceremonies depending on the dosage and how deep you want to go with the medicine.

I went for a 30 minute ride into the interstellar, milky way, speaking to long dead ancestors along the way. I felt the most connected to everything and everyone. I felt the LOVE from the living, breathing, speaking Universe! I don’t know if it’s like that for everyone, but I truly hope so!

Returning to the 3D consciousness, I saw (& still see) everything in living colour.

I’m so grateful that I was able to experience this! I actually had no clue what I wanted to achieve out of it. I just wanted to be healed of my trauma and any mental blocks. I feel that I’m on the right trajectory now.

In recent years, there has been a lot of research into the benefits of 5-MeO-DMT treatments for opioid and alcohol addiction, PTSD, stress, depression and anxiety. Although nicotine is not explicitly mentioned in the writings, I definitely feel that due to the healing that I got, I had a positive mental health outcome doing it that once. If you’re interested in combatting depression and anxiety, make sure to discontinue the use of your pharmaceuticals before doing Bufo as there may be some contraindications.

***Disclaimer*** Do plant medicine at your own risk. Vistara and BearHeart are there to guide you though your experience and you’re in very good hands; very capable hands. This is NOT their first rodeo. Make sure you are able to be 100% transparent with them to get the best results.

Wishing you so much healing & happiness!

Peace, Love, & Anarchy!
