A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death. Because it includes transcendental, hallucinogenic and mystical elements, an NDE is a considered a Pivotal Mental State. The after effects of NDEs have been widely documented and have been shown to be powerfully life-altering.
Near Death Experience Reporting
As with our referencing policy as of yet there have been no meta analyses of NDE reports.
Near Death Experiences and Psychedelics
Some evidence suggests that dissociatives such as ketamine[1][2] or classical psychedelics such as DMT can induce this state[3] however historically, a defunct class of drugs called the pseudohallucinogens[4] is also thought to bridge this gap by actually causing a near death experience! These compounds consist of a diverse range of chemicals the effects of which broadly are considered poisonous, these include:
- Nutmeg / mace
- Wisteria sinenis
