An obscure and extremely powerful psychedelic drug called 5-MeO-DMT, or BUFO, is drawing intense interest from the pharmaceutical industry, where biotech companies like AtaiBeckley and GH Research are
It annoys me to no end knowing that the amount of BUFO you can get for $300 now, illegally which will last you half a year, will cost upwards of $1000 or more once commercialized.
The fact that the system is calling it a “gold rush” should tell everyone that this medicine and this research will be ultimately controlled by the highest bidder and wont be available to everyone like it should be. No one should be paying a cent for treatment like this
Boy, I can't wait for private equity to enshittify it.

This feels like the start of a high-stakes medical thriller. The way these biotech companies are racing to commercialize something so potent is wild! If this were a series, I'd be bingeing it. Do you think this will actually go mainstream, or is it too risky?
My first experience:
I woke and sat up on the edge of a 'pond' full of toxic sludge, the world around me having been decimated into a barren landscape by some unknown catastrophe, presumably nuclear warfare. In the reflection of the pool you could see the past, the surrounding area filled with lush forest and grassy banks.
An angel appeared before me and told me "You have to live life like a Christmas light."
I said "What the F is that supposed to mean?!"
She replied "Not everybody likes Christmas lights, but Christmas lights don't care one bit, they just keep shining bright and happy as can be...."
I feel sick to my stomach watching corporations try to patent natural products and build entire businesses around them so their billionaire owners can continue controlling the market and punish anyone who grows these products themselves or has access to them naturally.
PhD biomed guy here who’s taken all major psychedelics. Do psychedelics work? Yes, they “work” but they’re not a cure all. You still very much HAVE to do the work to get better. Psychedelics lift the veil (filters/ego) and give you new awarenesses and understandings. But then you must do the work to integrate those learnings into your life to actively push away the dark clouds. These guys in the video are still basking in the post-trip afterglow, which will fade. If they do the work and work on themselves afterwards, they’ll be far better than if they think it’s a one and done.
It’s only illegal until corporate can commercialise and monopolise!!

You have a drug
This is a corporate advert.
Wow how innovative
You literally feel yourself dying.
