I had paid $6,900 (usd) for a Bufo retreat to this company Behold Retreats. The man who facilitated me is Erik Oskar Alexis Johansson AKA Ozkar. This man is running a horrible scam. He advertised on the website as serving Plant Medicine and Bufo (5-MeO-DMT) but what I found out after the fact is that this is not pure Bufo but a synthetic pharmaceutical substitute. 

 

During the days of the retreat I was recommended to take more “medicine” even though I had been questioning the effects of this medicine and letting them know that I didn't feel right in my body. He was convincing me to trust the medicine and keep going. It was very confusing for me because I had paid so much money and agreed to this journey but also something didn't feel right to me throughout the process but I couldn't articulate what it was, with this world being so new to me. 

 

At one point in between sessions with this drug, I became so nauseated that I fell down, twisted my ankle and needed to go to the hospital. I didn't feel in my right mind which was the exact opposite of how this medicine was explained to me to be. 

 

I later discovered that this man had been serving me a synthetic substitute and learned of the harmful effects. I confronted him and he admitted it to me, trying to convince me that the synthetic is more pure than the natural medicine.The fact that they would choose to withhold this information was clearly a violation and disturbed me deeply. 

 

I understand that we put ourselves at risk by joining in these medicine healing experiences. Maybe if Ozkar would have been honest about the synthetic substance I could have made a more informed choice. But to not be told this up front and throughout my time with them feels like such a deep violation and abuse of power and it is a clear violation, lies, and greed.
