    5-MeO-DMT Gone Wrong? Boundaries, Consent & Psychedelic Ethics

    In this video, I respond to a Reddit post about a troubling 5-MeO-DMT experience involving unclear boundaries, physical contact, and a request to trip-sit from someone described as a psychedelic therapist.The person sharing the story has a history of sexual trauma and found themselves disassociating during the experience, which included unexpected touch — including being held and touched on the body — while under the influence of this powerful substance.This is not a reaction for entertainment. It’s a reflection on the importance of consent, safety, trauma-informed care, and the real responsibilities that come with holding space. Psychedelic work is not about controlling or “healing” another person — especially not in a way that crosses physical or emotional boundaries.What are the boundaries here?Let’s ask the questions that matter — not to cancel people, but to protect the sacred.

I hope this conversation offers insight, peace of mind, and a reminder that your present character speaks louder than outdated stories.✨ Let me know your thoughts in the comments.🧠 Conscious dating is possible.
