Bryan Johnson, a 48-year-old venture capitalist and CEO of brain activity monitoring firm Kernel, has gained notoriety for his extreme biohacking practices aimed at achieving eternal youth. Known for his "Project Blueprint" anti-aging initiative, which includes infusions of his teenage son's plasma, Johnson has now shared details of his experience with what he describes as the "world's most powerful" hallucinogenic drug.
The 'Mount Everest' of Drugs
In his latest biohacking experiment, Johnson ingested 27mg of an entheogen, a substance he refers to as the "Mount Everest" of drugs. He took to social media to document the effects, claiming it induced the most profound experience of his life. The CEO, who rose to prominence through his "Don't Die" project focused on longevity, described the drug as opening up "pure consciousness and intelligence" in a way that defies verbal explanation.
A Profound Psychological Journey
Johnson detailed an intense internal struggle during the experience, noting that his ego "panicked" and pleaded for control as he felt threatened by "a torrent of light and essence." He described overcoming this resistance to enter a state of blissful euphoria, which he characterized as "the highest aspiration of intelligent life." According to his account, the experience culminated in a renewed sense of purpose, with Johnson pledging to become "a warrior and caretaker of life on earth" dedicated to protecting consciousness.
This revelation comes as part of Johnson's broader biohacking regimen, which has previously included controversial practices like plasma transfusions from his son in pursuit of becoming "the world's healthiest person." His latest drug experience adds another layer to his public exploration of extreme anti-aging and consciousness-altering methods, sparking discussion about the boundaries of biohacking and personal experimentation.
