A brief transcript excerpt of a YouTube interview (Gary Brecka) recounting a guest’s transformative psychedelic experience. The speaker describes deep suicidal ideation before undergoing ibogaine followed by multiple 5‑MeO‑DMT sessions; on the sixth inhalation, executing an intention to die purportedly produced a dramatic, clarifying breakthrough that led to sobriety, renewed purpose, and motivation to repair relationships.

I'm really interested in your ibogaine experience because what made you make the decision? I was so suicidal, I just wanted to die. I didn't care. Next day we do 5 Meo DMT, and it must be what finding religion is truly like. And they were like, you want to kill yourself, right? Yeah. And he goes, then do it. I changed my intention. And the sixth time I smoked that medicine, I did it with the intention to kill myself. And that is what broke me open. It felt like my whole soul went into my sternum. It cracked open and shot out of me. Feels like every ounce of your soul is leaving your body in one shot. I mean, you're screaming, but, man, once you're stone cold sober, no booze, no nothing in you. God, it's like a superpower. Everything is more vibrant colors. The edges are crisp and clean. You feel interconnected to everybody. It's the most sobering thing you've ever had. Like, everything in the world is right. Every wrong I've ever done, I can fix. You're like, I'm good. Like, I don't have to close this out. Like, I gotta go home and I gotta confess right now and I gotta rebuild this bridge brick by brick right now. It gives you the motivation. You're like, I can totally come back from this. I can totally do it. Without that medicine, there was no coming back for me.
