I don't agree with the rest of the peeps here who are saying the opposite and I do trip a hell of a lot, especially with DMT. To the contrary, I believe your concerns are entirely valid and fully justified.

I agree with embracethevoid. This view that because you haven't tried dmt you are no longer allowed to have an opinion about your friend's behavior is absurd and elitist.

Honestly it was said early in the thread but it sounds like a failure to integrate a profound spiritual experience. This sounds like one of the many pitfalls along the spiritual path and in hindi society this sort of thing would be held up as an example of the importance of having a guru. In this case however since we are talking about the entheogenic spiritual path, this is where a peer group of fellow travelers, or in other societies who practice entheogen use, a shaman would be appropriate. The point being that in western culture we have neither the social support nor the checks and balances that help people to integrate these kinds of experiences.

I have seen something similar once before with someone when he took a bit too much acid. In that case he ended up committed and medicated because his behavior was so irrational. I am not sure what to suggest other than to say that maybe pointing out his inconsistances to him may be useful. You said he acts differently in different situations and with different people which is the hallmark of an inauthentic person. It is in fact by being ones self in every situation that a person is truly authentic. Perhaps pointing this out would help. You also said he wants to help and heal people and at the same time is not showing up in his relationships with friends and family, this too is inconsistant. Perhaps you should ask him if he believes his friends and family are less deserving of his love and attention.

Whatever you decide to do I hope it works out well for all involved.

He is at the point where his "healing" of others/strangers is more important than those around him who care for him. I totally advocate helping others of course but shutting out the world around you and not telling people where you live is one thing and lieing about what you are doing. His perspective is out of whack. We do think there is a lot more than dmt he is making and doing. Reality check here. He is notorious for doing things way overboard man. He has addiction issues. We just hope there isn't some underlying problems about to explode. He is quite unreachable at this point so perhaps he will find a point to look at what has happened to all those around him so concerned and what it's created. Even his fellow travelers are falling away probably from fear and because he is pushing everyone away.

thanks for the support friends
