The Quentin Experiment

I’ve been gone awhile. I haven’t uploaded a video since Mar 13, 2021. Let me tell you why.
I haven’t had a psychedelic experience since the Arkana Retreat in Mexico.
My final two trips were a 5-gram psilocybe dose, and a 12-gram trip the night after. These experiences changed me. There is so much I could share about them but I’ll simplify the message they told me as best as I can.


Develop yourself as a man.

You are inexperienced with adulthood. You are a child wearing a mask.

Immerse yourself into the game.

You have tied your life into knots, and they must be unweaved.

Stop what you are doing. Stop developing an image of yourself to the public. Now is not the time.

I listened. I’ve reduced my social media use by 90%. I threw myself into my schoolwork. I threw myself into achieving the goals I desire. I talk mostly to friends and family.

It was everything I needed.

Awesome life update:
I’m a research scientist/engineer 2 now. I’m happy, healthy, and optimistic about the future. I want to keep creating on this platform on my own terms. Maybe it will be about psychedelics, and maybe it won’t. But I’m forever grateful for everybody onboard for the journey.


See you soon.

I think it was Terrance McKenna who said, "When you get the message, hang up the phone." Plant medicines are tools in my opinion, and it sounds like you are making good use of those tools. Much love and respect to you. I hope you continue to find happiness on your journey of life, wherever it may take you, Quentin.

I was wondering what you were up to man! I’ve been going through a period of self-transformation and healing with the aforementioned substances myself, at 5g+ in a dark room alone. It truly is a miracle how powerful of a teacher this molecule can be, and I think you are very right. I’ve become a lot more aware of these lost, dark thoughts buried deep within my subconsciousness. The way I see it—Our conscious is like a fish tank that desperately needs cleaning and maintenance. We all need to take time to process these memories and thoughts hidden deep beneath the surface so that we can become the best version of ourselves. Thanks for being a fellow voice of reason and maturity in this age Quentin. I believe we are about to see a great societal transformation begin—it is already happening all around us. 🙏

Spoken true to the struggle we are all pulling through from. Sometimes you get it and there’s progress and sometimes you fall back and regress. The important thing is to remember you are on the path. Much love Q, you’re a real one

While I glean from your work, that this was mostly a scientific and organized way to explore psychedelics, the core has always been spiritual. Thank you for the work that you’ve done, and if there is a future, know you have an audience willing to support you💛

Congrats on graduating!!! Thank you for all that you have done and connected the people you have via your discord and various platforms. Listening to you talk abt your cannabis use was very helpful and that vid that got removed about spawn bags was awesome. Your ability to articulate complex ideas & "taboo" subjects really helped my anxiety over being interested in psychs, and made me feel less crazy in my own experiences & integration. Thank you for sharing your voice, I cannot wait to see what you do next & I wish you good luck. 😭

I was really curious about whether this channel would come back, your videos were some of the most inspiring psychedelic content I’d ever come across. (still are) Wonderful to hear you’re doing well Quentin.

I was wondering where you had ended up a few months ago- but I'm very glad to hear you're doing well. If that experience was really that groundbreaking that you feel as if you have all you need from psychedelics, then there is no pressure to continue producing content at all. Always remember your commitment to yourself is more important than anything else, though you seem to know this better than most. Very proud of you man

Awesome!! I was wondering what happened with you. I had a very similar conclusion from my last psychedelic trip a few years ago. I became more invested in my work/achieving my goals . I think the best part was the clarity I had in the days that followed about what my goals actually were. Good to hear from you!

It's fascinating how psychonauts such as you or Tom from Your Mate Tom changed tremendously through their psychedelic experience. I wish you the best, even if my ego would want to see more of you, I think the best thing a person can do nowadays is get away from socials and relearn to enjoy life without them. Much love from France ❤️

That’s really, really cool and a super nice read ^^ I don’t have much psychedelic experience but even without it I realized how detrimental social media is and I‘m still trying to scale it back haha But lately I’ve been going out of my comfort zone, I have met old friends, new friends, started going to parties and meet up’s again, I‘m starting college again soon and tbh, I‘m slowly feeling so, so much better about life, it’s unreal; just being able to be myself and slowly finding out what I want and what my goals are has helped me so much and I think I really changed much for the better in the last two years :) Your channel was awesome and I was super surprised and happy seeing that you posted something again, but don’t feel pressured by anyone to start posting anything again. Life is just super weird, but also pretty cool at the same time and I‘m glad to have opened up to so many new things and I think microdosing really helped me with that :)
