By popular demand: A recut of Dr. Martin Ball's statements at a 2016 Los Angeles Medicinal Plants Society (LAMPS) lecture. We stand by the original video, but wanted to remove barriers to discussing the content, and to give those struggling with the style a chance to engage. *This video is not an endorsement for the practices discussed.* In this video, Martin W. Ball, Ph.D. discusses his enthusiasm for vomiting on clients, touching his clients' genitals, and forcing his thumbs down their throats while "guiding" them under the influence of 5-MeO-DMT. Ball hosts the "Entheogenic Evolution" podcast and is an online consultant for what he calls "Nondual Entheogenic Integration." Ball edited, published, and authored the foreword to the 2020 edition of the "Manual for Psychedelic Guides" by Mark Haden—the former Executive Director of The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Canada.
