The video begins with the host excitedly unboxing a package containing two significant books by DM Turner, a legendary figure known as one of the greatest psychonauts in history. The first item revealed is a copy of "DMT: The Spirit Molecule," which the host purchased for an incredibly low price, noting that he has been acquiring this specific title whenever it becomes available at a reasonable cost. He highlights the book's value as a comprehensive collection of Turner's trip reports and historical insights into various psychedelics, including DMT, LSD, peyote, and ketamine. The host expresses deep admiration for Turner's dedication to exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness, acknowledging that while Turner tragically passed away due to complications from self-administered ketamine, his life's work remains an essential resource for the psychedelic community.

Okay. We've done readings of this DM
Turner.
He was one of the greatest psychonauts.
one of the greatest psychonauts
in history. Okay, he wrote two books.
One of them is this, the essential
psychedelic guide, which is basically
his trip reports and recommendations
of
uh and a lot of history.
Here's a table of contents, right?
If you look on online on sensor tube,
you'll find us doing some of the
readings of this, right?
And it's basically his trip reports on
him mixing a whole bunch of different
type of psychedelics and psychoactives
uh and writing about his journeys. He
gives some history about you know DMT,
LSD, Salvia deorum. Actually, he does he
I don't think he had explored salvia
devor at this point, but ketamine uh
just a whole bunch of peyote,
everything and anything. And he did a
lot of different mixes, right? And he
I've read this book like three times so
far, right? The other book he wrote was
Salvadoran, the psychedelic essence of
Salvia Devonorum. And we've done a full
reading of that book, right? So,
whenever I can get a copy of this book
at a reasonable price, I buy it. And
this was one of the best prices I was
able to get it. And if you're interested
in psychedelics, psychoactives,
um, even pharmaceuticals and trip
reports, highly recommend getting your
hands on this book and reading the whole
damn thing. Okay? Reading the whole damn
thing because it's extremely important.
And for me, uh, I have such tremendous
respect
to DM Turner, okay, that I documented
one of my trip reports. Uh, I called it
uh, breaking the master cleanse with
Salvia deorum and Brazilian cubenzis.
And I submitted it to Iwood and
Shrimary. and it's online and it's also
on my website, okay, about a very bad
trip I had breaking the master cleanse
with Salvia Devonorum and Brazilian
Cubenzis, right? And it was in honor of
DM Turner because he shared two books,
his life work as a psychonaut with us.
And the least I could do is share one of
my trip reports uh with
the world, I guess, with the psychedelic
community, with the psychonaut
community. And I've been buying this
book for the last 25 years if I can get
it at a good good price. and I have
multiple copies of it and we've given
away two or three of these books during
our Twitch yearly auctions that when we
were doing them uh to people extremely
important extremely important uh book
um unfortunately DM Turner succumbed to
his uh
addiction because it's um he found
ketamine he did a lot of work with
ketamine but he let ketamine
take a hold of him and he ended up
um
doing ketamine by himself in a bathtub
and ended up drowning. Okay. Uh so he
passed away. I forget what year he
passed away. Uh but as far as I'm
concerned, he's the most important
psychonaut
uh for the western world there has ever
been because he
he uh
he committed himself 100%
to this. Okay. 100% to this. Uh good
read for those interested. Great read
for those interested in such things. And
the book is available for free to read
online. Okay. Uh there's never been a
second printing of Salvador and the
