Table of contents

The secretion of the Colorado toad Bufo alvarius, obtained from the Mexican toad, is considered the strongest existing entheogen. The secretion is smoked in a pipe. When removing the secretion, great care is taken to ensure that the toad does not suffer any harm. After the harvest is complete, the toad returns to its natural habitat. The experience lasts approximately 15-20 minutes, during which the user can lose all sense of time.

Our team prepares the participants accordingly. There is a preliminary and follow-up discussion to integrate the experiences. After taking Bufo Alvarius, transpersonal experiences can be made, such as experiencing unity consciousness, moments of deepest joy, contentment or fear, encounters with the divine or there can be a short-term ego dissolution.

Anyone who has had such experiences can better understand the mystery of life and recognize new connections. This provides more clarity in life.

Transpersonal experiences: Explosion and detachment from one’s own borders and blockages  
Encounter with the divine: Experiencing deep feelings such as fear, joy and contentment serves as a preparation for this encounter

Bufo Alvarius Study

Bufo Alvarius study overview “A single inhalation of vapor from dried toad secretion containing 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in a naturalistic setting is related to sustained enhancement of satisfaction with life, mindfulness-related capacities, and a decrement of psychopathological symptoms”

How it works on the body

5-MeO-DMT is usually taken by inhaling the dried secretion of the toad or by synthetic 5-MeO-DMT. Once taken, the effects occur quickly, usually within seconds, and last about 15 to 30 minutes. Reported effects include:

  • Intense visual and auditory hallucinations
  • A feeling of oneness with the universe or spiritual insights
  • Loss of ego or personal identity
  • Deep emotional and psychological breakthroughs

 

There are several reported positive effects of taking 5-MeO-DMT, including:

  9. Strengthening social bonds: Through the deep, connecting experiences, 5-MeO-DMT can also help strengthen social bonds and promote empathy.
  10. Increased sense of connection with nature: Some users report feeling a deeper connection and increased awareness of nature after taking 5-MeO-DMT.

Bufo Alvarius and Samadhi Unity Consciousness

One of the most fascinating aspects of 5-MeO-DMT’s effects is its ability to induce states called samadhi, or unity consciousness. Samadhi is a concept from the yogic and Buddhist traditions that describes a state of deep meditative absorption and oneness with the universe. Many users of Bufo alvarius report experiences that they describe as merging with the universe. During these states, they experience a sense of limitless love and unity, often considered the highest spiritual consciousness. These experiences are caused by the drastic change in normal brain function, in which the sense of individuality and ego is completely dissolved. Neurologically, this could be explained by a massive increase in serotonin activity and the hyperactivation of certain brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex. This state of unity consciousness is often described as very healing and transformative, allowing users to let go of deep-rooted fears and trauma and experience a new sense of peace and connection.

History of Bufo Alvarius

The use of Bufo Alvarius dates back to ancient times, particularly among indigenous peoples who utilized the toad’s psychoactive properties for spiritual and healing rituals. These ritual applications often served purposes of spiritual cleansing, healing, and communication with the divine. The modern discovery and investigation of the toxin began in the 1960s when chemists started exploring the psychoactive properties of 5-MeO-DMT. Since then, knowledge about Bufo Alvarius and its toxin has grown, and it is increasingly used in the Western world for therapeutic and spiritual purposes.

Scientific Studies on Bufo Alvarius

Over the past decades, scientists have intensively studied the properties and effects of 5-MeO-DMT. Researchers have analyzed the chemical characteristics of the toxin and its effects on the human brain and body. Studies have shown that 5-MeO-DMT works by activating serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor. This activation leads to intense, often spiritual or mystical experiences.

A significant study from 2019, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, showed that inhaling 5-MeO-DMT led to a significant reduction in anxiety and depression among participants. Another study from 2021 in the journal Frontiers in Psychology confirmed these results and additionally noted that experiences with 5-MeO-DMT were often described as profoundly meaningful and life-changing. These studies suggest that 5-MeO-DMT could be a promising treatment for mental health disorders.
