Going on my own two previous Bufo/5-MeO breakthrough experiences earlier this year, personally I found Leo managed to better articulate the nature and content of the breakthrough 5-MeO experience, as well as its profound implications, better than any other 5-MeO experienced communicator I've yet come across, bar James Oroc. There was substantial overlap between what he experienced on his first breakthrough experience, and what I experienced on mine.

Sure, N,N-DMT can definitely take you to the same or very similar states...for some people some of the time. But 5-MeO seems very consistent and reliable in this regard. It is also a much more potent substance so near effortless to breakthrough on it. From what I've read and heard, 5-MeO experiences tend to be of a much more consistent nature than those yielded by N'N-DMT, which seem to be much more variable in content. I had had a fair bit of N,N-DMT experience prior to my 5-MeO breakthrough (many vape sessions, pharmahuasca, ayahuasca) and none of them had gotten me anywhere close to breakthrough 5-MeO territory, personally. Prior to my 5-MeO breakthrough experiences, one DMT breakthrough stands out as one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The collective 5-MeO breakthrough experiences knocked this off the top spot, and then some! An interesting facet of the 5-MeO breakthrough is that this insight has stayed with me in a way that is distinct from all other psychedelic experiences...I personally seemed much better able (following a second breakthrough experience) to bring back insights to my sober waking life, something that seems altogether trickier with DMT (Strassman also observed this with his DMT research).
