Vsauce - The Psychedelic Experience

Michael Stevens is at it again boys and girls! The short documentary speaks about his experiences while under the influence of ayahuasca at a retreat in Peru, I think you'll all enjoy this and hope to see some constructive criticism and conversations going on in the comments. I think he hit the nail on the head, but what about you guys?

I felt so small and so humble, I was glad to be reminded that I'm weak.

I'm happy he got a chance to experience that. I always thought of him as a fairly open-minded fellow from what I gathered in his videos.

I was also really happy when I saw the episode on my home page, in fact I was giddy! As I've already experienced what is commonly referred to as "the message" I've began to realize that the magic for me is no longer in the experience, but in sharing the experience with others. It makes my heart glow with joy to see a respected creator collaborating with YouTube and medical professionals to further squash the psychedelic stigma created after the counter culture movements gave it such a sour connotation with the public.

Terence McKenna said never go on a half hearted trip, this is why. Teetering on the edge of a truely great experience and never going beyond ego death but just touching it isn’t enough; and all you remember is how anxious you felt afterwards.

Michael should have taken the full cup.

I believe he would have if he felt he could really let go during the experience, but he was there on a mission. I suspect he wanted to be sober enough to keep the show going. Maybe one day he will have a chance to take a larger dose when he's not making a show.
