โs livestream brought a lot more attention to Bufo, so I wanted to share what my own experience felt like.
Bufo usually refers to 5-MeO-DMT from the secretion of the Sonoran Desert toad, although 5-MeO-DMT also exists in synthetic form. It is known for being brief, intense, and an experience thatโs difficult to put into language.
The closest metaphor I have is a slingshot ride for consciousness. It felt like my awareness had been fired out of ordinary reality, and within seconds the part of me that thinks, narrates, and tries to stay in control was gone.
What surprised me most was not just the intensity, but what was underneath it, a sense of love so overwhelming that it seemed to dissolve the barriers I had built around myself.
For a short time, it felt as though everything fell away except awareness, wonder, and something deeply healing.
This was one of my first Bufo experiences, shared as personal experience only, and done in a safe and legal environment.
