Episode #135: Drugs Ranked from F to S, Making Relationships Work, The Need To Detox & Abandoning Toxic Masculinity, With Yuki, Host Of The Modern Day Hippie Podcast

Yuki X 2

[00:00:00]

You're listening to the sex drugs and Jesus podcast, where we discuss whatever the fuck we want to! And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right at the end of the day. My name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world as we dig into topics that are too risqué for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your life.

There is nothing off the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode. 

De'Vannon: Hello, all of my delicious, beautiful, open minded, experiential children out there. And welcome back to the Sex, Drugs, and Jesus podcast. I have with me one of the most beautiful men in the world that I've ever met. As you can see, well, no, you can't see because his face is not available to you. Only I get to see his face, deal with it, but trust me, he's hot.

De'Vannon: And he's, has a beautiful mind, body, soul, spirit, the total [00:01:00] fucking package, and his name is Yuki. Please consider him my, my little Japanese friend, my little Japanese friend, Yuki from Japan. There we go. Baby, how are you doing today? 

Yuki: I'm doing well. It's been a tumultuous couple of weeks, but have recently kind of gotten back to a place where I have some like stability, some habits, some routine back in my life, which I definitely find myself craving at times.

Yuki: And especially in these moments where I get to really dive deeper into like specific relationships that I'm building exploring new substances or having new experiences with some of my favorite So I actually have a slew of new stories that haven't shared yet on, on my podcast or anywhere else either of just like exciting new experiences that I've had something that I'm really looking forward [00:02:00] to in the next like month, month and a half is I'll be going to Burning Man for the very first time.

Yuki: So like my head is full with all the preparation that that goes into that. And that is also a very a, a drug fueled experience for for many of the people who go, 

De'Vannon: you don't damn say I might have to join you one time. So oh, please do. So that's one of your new experiences that you haven't told, talked about on your own podcast yet?

De'Vannon: Yeah, 

Yuki: so one of the ones that I have in mind, namely, is. I've started going to more, like, Burning Man themed events because a lot of camps would do, like, fundraisers and parties to help, like, raise funds for their camps, but also help meet more people in the community. And I was traveling for the last, like, three months, so I was at home, and I told myself that.

Yuki: When I was back to my home base that I would get more involved in that community. And so I've gotten to meet a lot of really cool people, have some nice, like pre burn experiences [00:03:00] and really just do a lot of like the planning and the relationship building that's, that's good to do before you actually go out there and, and do the damn thing.

Yuki: And do 

De'Vannon: the damn thing. Not next year, Yuki, but the year after that Burning Man, I'll set aside time to come to Austin and hell, you need to come to Japan, you know, and hang out with me over there since, you know, you're from Japan anyway. 

Yuki: Yeah, exactly. Would be a pleasure. 

De'Vannon: In my mind, we're going to get you to Japan, damn it.

De'Vannon: So, so y'all on today's show, we're going to be talking about. Okay, Yuki hosts the Modern Hippie, Modern Day Hippie Podcast. In his most recent episode, he's talking about that him and his co host Reggie have ranked all these different drugs, and it's quite... titillating and fascinating. It's kind of like Cliff Notes for drugs.

De'Vannon: And so I do recommend that podcast for that. So I'm gonna read y'all his bio and then we're going to talk about drugs, man. Drugs. So [00:04:00] Yuki is the co host of the Modern Day Hippie podcast. He's an experienced psychonaut and a former alcoholic. Psychedelics have been a cornerstone of his life for the past.

De'Vannon: Tree years, as they say, tree years, and he loves sharing how to consume drugs in a safe and responsible way for fun, pleasure, and introspection. I'm all about that damn introspection, the glorious introspection of it all. He dreams of a world where alcohol isn't the go to substance for people on a Friday night.

De'Vannon: I wanted to talk to you about Friday night. So, and, and so I'm going to fuse a lot of spirit into this as I do because that is my angle. Are you, what do you think, I'm sure that you're aware of this because, you know, you you know, I heard you use, you know, a four syllable word not too long ago, and I have to say that [00:05:00] I'm most impressed, even though it was a word that described like a bad way that you've been feeling, but still.

De'Vannon: And so I'm here for it because you are like, highly intelligent and evolved and that impresses me though. So, you know, Friday's Friday comes along and it's, you know, the weekend here, like, each day kind of carries a different vibe to it, a different spirit. That's why sometimes it might be choosing like, fuck.

De'Vannon: It feels like Monday. You know, things shift like that, but more often than not, each day feels like it's supposed to. So on Friday, there's this mood, like you say in here, you, you, you wish people would not use alcohol as a go to substance for Friday night. So when Friday comes around, there is this.

De'Vannon: Collective mentality that seems to prevail that, okay, it's Friday, so I gotta go do something wild, or I gotta go do something to relax from this week, or, you know, whatever the case may be. [00:06:00] It seems to me, and I want to get your thoughts on this, that people allow the day of the week to decide what they're supposed to do, as opposed to doing whatever it is that they decide they're going to do.

De'Vannon: What do you think? 

Yuki: Yeah, I mean, I think you hit the nail on the head in the sense that there's this social narrative that I think like 90 percent plus of people, you know, living in the U. S. or living in a a Western country really buy into in terms of just the flow of the week in terms of, you know, working on your weekdays and this transition to the weekend and where Fridays are really this pivot point where you're supposed to go from like your work productive for more self to your more like fun, let off steam, hang out with friends self and I think there's both pros and cons to this like construct, because on one hand, it's nice that the majority of people have the same schedule because [00:07:00] if you're anything like me, I do very little like actual like social events or things like that on the weekdays.

Yuki: So I'm a busy guy, I have a lot of things that I'm working on and that I'm like excited to do. And so I try to purposely Like, not do too much social stuff on weekdays because I'm content getting all of that energy out on the weekends when everyone else is free and I get to see a lot of my friends in one place.

Yuki: The place where I see this contrasted the most is I have some friends who have like non nine to five jobs. So for example, I have some friends who are nurses and they work night shifts and They live a very different lifestyle because of their schedule where they're working night shifts, I think about four days or four nights a week on average.

Yuki: And it's a lot tougher for them. And you can tell that this different schedule weighs on them, not only because it's like working nights, honestly, they don't mind that much. It's more just from like, having a different schedule from the majority of Other like, you [00:08:00] know, quote unquote, normal people because they won't be working during the days.

Yuki: So there's like, not a whole lot of people to hang out with, you know, in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. So they have to find other things to do to keep themselves busy or entertained. And then sometimes they're working, you know, Friday, Saturday nights. And so they're having to mold their schedule to this, like, collective narrative that The majority of people are, are on.

Yuki: And so the reason I was mentioning kind of, you know, Friday nights as as what I want other substances to, you know, potentially replace or just act as a substitute for alcohol is because, you know, I, I've become very familiar with that feeling of just like you mentioned, it's, Towards the end of the workday on Friday, you know, it's three, four o'clock.

Yuki: You're already trying to figure out what you're going to do with your night, where your night is going, because you feel like, you know, the weekend is valuable. Time is valuable. And all you have is Friday night and Saturday night every week to like go and do something, you know, quote unquote, crazy or fun.

Yuki: And so I think [00:09:00] there's also a little bit of this like social pressure to go out and do that. And especially as I was in college and. You know, growing up when I was a little bit younger it's like, you know, all of my peers, all of my friends were going out to like the bar street in my city and doing things.

Yuki: And, you know, you just kind of go along with it, whether you want to drink or not, because that's just the social event of the night and you want to be around your friends and that's where everyone's going. So. That's kind of where you got to go as well to, to partake.

De'Vannon: Oh, and I'm going to, I mean, you're, you're right. I mean, there's so many different ways to look at it and think about it, but what I want people to do is to fucking start thinking. And so what that means y'all. A couple of things. That means when, when a Friday night or a Saturday or Sunday comes around, you know, and you're like, woohoo, and I did this shit when I was in the military because I, it was such an intense thing, you know, Friday, fucking A, let me go find me a liter of [00:10:00] alcohol to hop in because this government has got me fucked up.

De'Vannon: And so, but what about being counterintuitive? You know, everybody else is doing everything that you, Yuki and I just said, clearly they're going to go do something to get fucked up at a party or to relieve stress. Maybe spend Friday night meditating. Maybe spend Friday night getting closer to God, growing spiritually, doing what others won't.

De'Vannon: There's something that, that brings positive benefits and growth when you cut against the grain. 

Yuki: Yeah, no, I, I could not agree more. And honestly, in the last few years, as I've grown a little bit older, you know, I'm in my mid 20s now, so still a baby, relatively speaking, but growing a lot more into into myself.

Yuki: And I would say maturing a good bit. I've definitely become a lot more intentional with how I spend my Friday and Saturday nights, in large part, because since I stopped drinking, I [00:11:00] don't go out to like bars or that vibe that much anymore. I'll go like once in a blue moon, if it's like a giant friend group and someone's birthday, I'll just go to be there, but I still won't drink.

Yuki: I'll just do a bit of shrooms and I'll be vibing and having a fantastic fucking time. But now on Fridays, more often than not, it's like. My girlfriend and I will stay in, you know, maybe we'll do some shrooms, we'll cook or we'll like, watch a TV show that we really love. Or we might invite a few friends over for like a game night.

Yuki: And I, I think also part of this is getting out of like the college, like party, party phase and just growing, you know, a little bit older, like a few years from there. And just realizing there are. Other things to be doing and that for me personally, I would rather spend like quality time with, you know, like four or five friends, just having a nice game night and hanging out, then going out with a really big group, because I really appreciate getting to focus more on building those relationships and just [00:12:00] spending time with people who like, I truly love, like, that's what brings me a lot of joy.

Yuki: And even now, if I look back on, like, some of my favorite nights that I've had, they've just been some late nights of, like, friends coming over and maybe we're playing, like, Mario Party. Maybe we're doing a little bit of drugs. Maybe we're just, like, talking and catching up. But those are just, like, really chill moments and really prized memories because those were times that I got to just, like, really appreciate some of the people that You know, are close to me in in a very like, I think, special and unique capacity.

Yuki: So that's something I sometimes go on Fridays, sometimes on Saturdays, it's never a fixed schedule because obviously if there's like a big event or party happening, like, I will go to that because I do enjoy that. And I think the important thing for me has been like finding my crowd in my city where it's like.

Yuki: Not so much going out to bars and drinking a lot. It's more like we'll go to raves or we'll go to like a members club where things are a lot more laid back and there's a DJ but it's like [00:13:00] comfy. And you can still like do your drugs in peace if you want, or just meet like a cool group of people. And ever since I found that vibe, that's become kind of my new substitute for going out because it is still going out.

Yuki: It's still very much like nightlife. And I'm telling you this. past weekend, I, you know, Saturday night, I was out until like 5 a. m. which all the bars in my city closed at 2. So if anything, I'd be out even later, but it's a very different experience. It's a lot more based on just relationships and conversations and meeting people.

Yuki: And because this group in general just drinks a lot less and everyone's just very open about other substances, it feels less detrimental to our health. Like I'll wake up the next day, Yeah, I'll probably still be tired, but I'm not, like, hungover. I don't want to, like, just, like, collapse in pain and not get out of bed.

Yuki: It's like, okay, I'm a little tired, but I can still get up and go about my, like, Sunday errands and get my shit ready before the [00:14:00] week.

De'Vannon: Yeah, I'm gonna have to, I think I'm gonna have to delay my trip to Austin and come fuck with you until like November. I needed to be like cooler. I'm going to be out all night doing hella drugs, 

Yuki: which Oh, yeah, no, it's it's so fucking hot. I will say, luckily, there's a lot of like water based activities that you can do during the day.

Yuki: But even then it's too much. But a lot of a lot of things happen at night, which is great. Yeah, like staying out until 4, 5 a. m. at some of these, like, members clubs we go to is is definitely a good go to activity and actually on the topic of, like, nights of partying, I've been having this, like, internal gripe with myself that, I feel like the bigger events and parties that like this, this group we're a part of does, they're always on Saturday nights, and I truly wish that they would start switching more of these to Friday nights, because in my head, I think my perfect [00:15:00] weekend would consist of like, Friday, like, Stay out late, like, do all the crazy fuck shit, like, do that.

Yuki: And then, Saturday, have a little bit more of a chill day, and, like, Saturday night, do a more of, like, a night in, or a game night with friends, or something like that. Because then, by the time you get to Sunday, you're, like, pretty recovered, and you're in a good spot. Whereas, even this week, like, I definitely came into Monday feeling, like, tired, and I feel like that's put a little bit of A weight on like my productivity this week and I'm someone who like I have very high standards for myself and my work and my productivity and anytime that's lacking a little bit like I can sense that I'm getting frustrated with myself and honestly that's something that I am working on like just being like a kinder human being to my own self, but.

Yuki: Yeah, just kind of, you know, internal thoughts that, that I've been having about my, my current more intentional way of like going out and partying, but still to an extent you know, showing up when there are people there and, and [00:16:00] basing it on when there are like bigger parties happening. 

De'Vannon: Again, you know, he's a thinker.

De'Vannon: I think I've searched the nine realms and I finally found a man who can fucking think. So we're talking about some fucking drugs now, well, even more fucking, what were you about to say? You're about to say something. Yeah, 

Yuki: honestly, definitely. A lot of credit for me being a thinker goes to my, my longtime girlfriend and partner as well, because she's taught me a great many things and honestly, it's been a big part of my, my growth the last couple of years.

Yuki: So the beautiful thing is that 

De'Vannon: you were open minded and listen, you didn't fight the bitch, you know? And I mean, I mean that. No, I, 

Yuki: I, I, I definitely did at first. this was probably the rockiest start to a relationship I ever had. So we met like right before COVID started. We were just hooking up like into COVID.

Yuki: We're like, okay, Hey, you know, it's COVID world. We both, you know, still need to be like having sex. [00:17:00] So let's just like ride it out together. And you know, one thing led to another, we, we caught feels for each other. And I would say the first, like, Probably like six to nine months of that relationship was incredibly rocky, like we almost ended things multiple times, but I think we both saw like that glimmer of potential.

Yuki: And we had like, I've never met anyone like her and and vice versa. And after that, like, rocky, like, storming period which was over two years ago now, it's literally been like nothing but it. smooth sailing, the most like beautiful, positive relationship that I've ever had beyond anything that I could have imagined.

Yuki: And I was someone who never thought I would be in like a committed long term monogamous relationship. And like meeting this person completely changed my view on that. So that's, that's also a, sorry, completely derailed the conversation. 

De'Vannon: Now, I love how much you love [00:18:00] her. Like, like, that, that, that adoration is the bare minimum that any man should be throwing at his girl.

De'Vannon: But what I'm hearing you say is that both of you are capable of forgiveness. 

Yuki: Yeah, we, we, we definitely are, but also I think we did a good job of, even when we're really upset, we, we never like said or did things that we couldn't take back. Like, I think, fundamentally, we're both... Like pretty reasonable, logical people, and even when there's times like when we'd argue when we can't see each other's point of view at that time, you know, once we cool off, we can come back together, we can come back and sit down and really understand each other's perspectives.

Yuki: And it's been incredible like getting this close to just like another human being like I've never been this close to anyone else, and just getting such a deep insight into like how she thinks and how her brain works, because it's so different from mine. And it's. Really, it's like open my mind to just how different [00:19:00] people can be, how different we can experience, like the world that that we inhabit.

Yuki: And that's just like, you know, one of the, like, literally million things that that I've gotten out of this relationship that, like, genuinely, I think if Everyone in the world like found the right person to have this kind of relationship with that just everyone would be like so happy and positive and I generally like wish upon anyone that they meet someone that like makes them feel this way because it's it's like a beautiful thing and it completely just changed like my Perspective on, on life and happiness and love.

Yuki: And now I like, can't imagine my life without this person. She makes me like the happiest person in the world every day. And I know it's vice versa. Yeah. And then like all that positive energy just like bounces off of each other. You know, it's like, I'm happy. You're happy. Like that just [00:20:00]compounds and legitimate, like.

Yuki: Every day we are like so fucking happy. It's actually like kind of ridiculous and silly. And it's like, you know, I mentioned we see the world and in very different ways, but these like big fundamental like boulders of like our values and what we want out of our lives are very aligned. And so we get to do.

Yuki: Basically everything together and very little disagreement on like the big things around how we live our lives and honestly like she's gone on the exact same journey in parallel with me around drugs like we stopped drinking at the same time. We both enjoy mostly the same drugs, but there's still some differences there too.

Yuki: And like, that's okay. And that's also part of the beauty of it. Like, have you ever heard the analogy of like, you know, in elementary school, there's like. The teacher's like, okay, we're gonna fill this jar and you have like, kind of boulders, you have pebbles, and you have sand, and you have to like, put the items into the jar in the right order to get them all to fit.

Yuki: So first you have to put in the [00:21:00] big boulders, then you pour in the pebbles, and they kind of fit around the boulders. And then finally the sand seeps in around everything. But if you do it in any other order, then you can't fit everything in the jar. And so those big boulders kind of represent like your core values and your goals in life.

Yuki: And I think with the way with like, you know, long term relationships it's really important to have those big, like value boulders aligned and make sure you're on the same page. But beyond that. The fact that those like pebbles and those grains of sands can be different is what actually makes things like interesting and is the reason why I think we've learned so much from each other and and we'll continue to do so and we'll like never get bored of each other.

De'Vannon: And now you see what you see what you could just said instead of making a mountain out of a molehill or a negative bolt out of those pebbles, they chose to view their differences as potential added strength rather than making an issue out of it. See, that right [00:22:00] there is the power of the alchemist, because you looked at something and you told it what form it was going to take.

De'Vannon: You didn't let it tell you, nor did you let the negativity that tends to prevail, you know, in a lot of dating relationships prevail. You two are conscious. You know, and you're paying attention to what you're doing and why, and that is why you're still together. But do you, how do you think your life, how does this relationship life compare to, like you said, y'all were hooking up, you know, you know, and now you, you feel a closeness that you've never felt.

De'Vannon: How does the hookup life compare to the life you have now? 

Yuki: Yeah, it's interesting because when I was in my, like, hookup fuckboy phase I honestly, like, really enjoyed that life. Like I, I think my guiding principle for my life is I just want to live like one big massive adventure. I want every aspect of my life to be an adventure.

Yuki: And at the end of my days, I want to look back and feel like I have [00:23:00] experienced as much as I humanly could have on this earth. And For me, especially in my college days, like a big part of that was kind of like the excitement of like the hooking up, you know, of just like the going out of meeting people and just getting like all these crazy stories that you could just like, share with your friends and just like crazy shit that happens to you, like, like that to me was like a big form of adventure at that point in my life.

Yuki: And at the same time, like, I had dated a few people for like a few months here, a few months there, but I always felt like a relationship was me sacrificing or giving something up from being like single and being able to like have complete freedom because I always felt like a relationship was I was giving up some of that freedom.

Yuki: I was giving up my ability to just like do what I wanted and have, you know, really only have to worry about myself in a very selfish sense. And you know, my freedom was something that I. [00:24:00]Treated like I put it above above all else because that freedom is what enabled me to live this adventurous life and what changed with with my current girlfriend as we got to know each other better was one I realized she was.

Yuki: Like completely different from any girl I had ever dated or hooked up with in terms of us having those big main like boulders of value very much aligned in common. So I think that was a strong early sign of like, even though we definitely struggled a lot early on, I think because we both saw that, saw that potential.

Yuki: We honestly went through a lot of things early on as we kind of like got through some of those like disagreements that we had early. And as we got deeper into the relationship, I. Realize that this was the first time in my life that I didn't see a relationship as a sacrifice as something that was taking away from me or my freedom, but on the contrary, it was adding to my life like it was a additive event and experience that made my [00:25:00] life even more adventurous, even more like free and in the ways that I realized were important to me.

Yuki: And once I realized that I'm like, okay, this is the best thing ever. And all it took was just meeting, like, the right person to, you know, get over, honestly, my fear of commitment, my fear of relationships. Also come from, like, a divorced household when I was really young. So, you know, that definitely, like, played a role in how I felt about relationships early on.

Yuki: But I feel very, like, healed from, from those things, for the most part, because of, honestly, this. Beautiful relationship that that we've created and very intentionally like this was also the relationship where I learned that Relationships are a lot of fucking work. Like it takes a lot of effort It takes a lot of time and you know anything that is worth doing in life It takes effort.

Yuki: It doesn't come easy. And you know, all of this is like, you know, even now it's, it's, it's still work like, you know, we're busy people, we [00:26:00] need to make sure that we're intentional about spending time together and setting time for each other. And like, obviously, those are things like we want to be doing.

Yuki: It's never like, Oh, I have to do follow. No, it's like we like want to, and we work together to figure out like, okay, like, When do we have time this week for like a date night? Or it's like, Oh, we've been traveling a lot. Like, let's just spend a whole day doing something like just really chill together.

Yuki: Like let's go to, I don't know, fucking like botanical gardens or something. And just like, you know, loving that, that time that we get to spend together. 

De'Vannon: As they say throughout the John Wick series, which is a book of wisdom as far as I'm fucking concerned with the one line of Sherman there. Oh, my God.

De'Vannon: Oh, my God. Perspective, my dear, is everything and what you experienced was a type of awakening in terms of your masculinity and like in your manhood. A lot of men grapple with Trying to like reconcile relationships and freedom because men, you know, like our hunters or roamers want to [00:27:00] feel free and things like that.

De'Vannon: But what the beautiful thing about where you're at is you discovered like how a lot is more set set and. And one of her songs that loving someone can actually feel like freedom, you know, it does not have to be a prison sentence or entrapment, unless in your head, you want to make it that way. And so cheers to your freedom, mate.

De'Vannon: You've made it out. You got unplugged from the toxic masculine matrix and you've been set free. Hot damn. 

Yuki: Thank you. No, and honestly, like, just like you put it. Genuinely feels that way sometimes because we still interact with a lot of people in our like periphery in our circles who are can be like some pretty toxic dudes.

Yuki: And it's just, it's embarrassing. Like, you know, like my, my girlfriend, like Her, her, like, girlfriends, who, who are, like, almost really close with you know, like, they'll be like, Oh, man, like, fuck, man, like, this is ridiculous. And I'm literally, like, dude, I, like, [00:28:00] completely agree. Like, literally, I know I'm saying this as a dude, but, like, just, fuck, man.

Yuki: Like, I can't believe some of these people do this shit sometimes. And honestly, like, like, like, and, like, I wasn't Any better when I was younger and hadn't had this experience, like, again, all credit to, like, this beautiful relationship that I have for giving me this, like, insight in this learning. What are you 

De'Vannon: seeing, though?

De'Vannon: When you sound like, fuck, man, but like, what are the current toxic dudes doing? 

Yuki: It's just very, like, unprompted, like, propositioning or... You know, I think obviously like a little bit of like flirting and having fun, like to the point where like it doesn't make the girl uncomfortable is, is all good. But I've seen too many situations of just men making women feel uncomfortable.

Yuki: And like they can't do the same things or like go to the same places on their own. It's just, it frustrates me a lot. 

De'Vannon: Oh, they doing [00:29:00] too much. They doing too much. Well, prayerfully one day they will reach a level of authenticity. Like, clearly you have, you're living an authentic life. I'm living an authentic life.

De'Vannon: I'm very appreciative to have you in my life. Mr. Yuki. So likewise. Let's, oh, thank you, sugar. Let's talk about some, some motherfucking drugs. Like, for real, I said that, like, about 10, 000 years ago, but, like, for real, this time, look, bitch, we, we're, we're, like, high right now. So, that's why, that's why. 

Yuki: High on love, high on happiness, honestly.

De'Vannon: So, y'all, in this episode, Yuki and Reggie rank. Damn near every drug on earth from F to S. F is the lowest tier, S is the highest tier, and they go through far too many for us to cover here on the Sex, Drugs, and Jesus Podcast. You could take your happy, hot ass over to the Modern Day Hippie Podcast and, and get like the real tea on this, but I'm gonna run down.

De'Vannon: The majority of 'em real [00:30:00] quick. Category F had shit like heroin crystal, meth crack, K two, spice E had lean opioids. D had Xanax, Coke, C was alcohol, Delta eight, dabs. D it was MDMA and a couple other things, but don't fucking have that. And then A was DDA different type of DMT. No wait, the first type of DMT, basic bitch DMT, which is still good DMT, but then ketamine, LSD, my personal fave, then 2C V, which I think I may have done LSD since the last time I talked to you.

De'Vannon: Oh, amazing. For the first time I did it. And then the S category was raw mushrooms for ACODMT and shrooms in non raw forms like tea, chocolate, etc. Okay, so, y'all can see why I don't have the time to get into all of that on here, because this is the Sex, Drugs, and Genesis podcast, not just the drugs podcast, that's Yuki's podcast.

De'Vannon: We got other shit to talk about, but we're gonna talk about some of these things. Okay. [00:31:00] To answer Reggie's question, he was talking about crack. He said, do people still use crack still? Yes, they do. I know plenty of them, and I've sold plenty of crack to plenty of people back in the day. Y'all don't sell drugs anymore.

De'Vannon: Do not call me for that. You missed it. You missed it. And I had some good shit, but you fucking missed it. I used to get, oh, I better not say that. But yeah, it was like, it was like, I agree pretty much with all of what y'all said. One point of discrepancy to there's two points of discrepancy. One of them is, and you know, F, I think I may have said it was F. It's like the shit you can Reggie just threw complete shade at. They're like, don't do it. You're dumb if you do it. Why fuck up your existence?

De'Vannon: We've seen people like lose their shit over then. S is like Superman shit. 

Yuki: You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. And honestly, [00:32:00] like part of that is it's tough because the things towards the bottom of the list for the most part, like we've never tried, right? We've only heard like secondhand accounts you know, from friends, family members, etc.

Yuki: So it's definitely. It's definitely biased, obviously, towards drugs that, like, we have more experience with, which is more like the psychedelics, the rave drugs that kind of thing. And then, something I've also been noticing as I've just gotten deeper into, like, this, like, drug world and learning more about it is there are, like, some genera some generational differences in drugs that are more popular.

Yuki: Like, for example, you know, people in their like 20s and 30s now, at least the people I meet like in crowd and at least the circles that I've run in there's very much like a bias towards like psychedelics, ketamine and stuff like that. And I haven't met people who, you know, are smoking crack and, and things like that.

Yuki: And that's something that I think in my head I associate with kind of like. The previous [00:33:00]generation of drug consumers, and I don't know if that's necessarily true, but that's just not something like I've run into and hang out with people in their twenties and thirties who are also very avid drug users like myself.

Yuki: And honestly, I could be totally wrong. It might also just be in like the geography that I'm in. I'm sure that affects it significantly as well. Yeah, 

De'Vannon: I'm going to skip my first point of discrepancy and then go to the second one, which had to do with with age, because you mentioned that. When you're, they were talking about Delta 8, which is, which is in category C, they do recommend Delta 8, but not from gas stations and shit like that, since it can be fake.

De'Vannon: I counsel you to go to a reputable weed store online, if you don't have one, if you live in some poduck ass town. Otherwise, take your fucking ass to the actual weed store. We do not buy mind altering substances from Chevron, bitch. Or from the Haji's, you know, down on the corner. No, [00:34:00] that's not what they do.

De'Vannon: That's not where we get fucking shit from, no. Fake weed. None of that. Okay, so you said that you mentioned it as a like with an exclamation point like that people 20 years older than you have weed plugs, um, because you were saying that people with Delta eight could get some good shit if they have a weed plug.

De'Vannon: But I don't know why. What's with the age classification, you know, with you, like, like, like you just like how you just said, and like how on your show coming from my perspective, having sold drugs to people, okay, and having done them with people of every age, you know, I, I, you know, I sold crack to people, deadblood 60, 50, 60, 70, and crystal meth too.

De'Vannon: And then same thing to people in their 20s. So I don't view, of course, I don't view the world as like, as a thing that's trapped in, or constrained to time, period. But when it comes to drugs, man, everybody at [00:35:00] every age does every drug. Now you might have more like A concentration, like you said, in certain geographical areas in Sydney, Australia, crystal meth is far more popular than it's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

De'Vannon: You know, just the way it right goes. But I'm gonna, I'm gonna counsel you to, to be careful with that, the age ranking, okay. Of the things, because. I think that might be a dribble of some of the of the, of the, of some of the things they, I see this in males, they tend to, they can tend to do this, this age thing, this age thing, these people in this age, this people in this age should do this, or they have done this.

De'Vannon: It's almost like they look at things by the decade or something like that. Someone, you know, from my past. You know, what would do that? And they were like, everyone in their 20s should be a whore. You know, I'm going to be a whore because I'm in my 20s on a turn 30. And I was like, no, you're just a [00:36:00] whore. If you want to be a whore, but you don't have to use your 20s as an excuse.

De'Vannon: Just be if that's what you're going to be about and own that shit. But but he just came across as limiting. Somehow, it's like, because then what happens when you're 40 and you have the weed plug and then there's somebody in their 20s going, look at that Yuki over there. He's fucking 40 with a weed plug.

Yuki: No, totally. And honestly, like, thank you for calling me out on this. Like, this is really helpful feedback and insight that I genuinely appreciate. I think it's, you know, it comes from a place of like my. circle that I happen to do drugs in, which is more like the raving and like, you know, festival community, which obviously skews like younger and more towards certain drugs.

Yuki: And this is, you know, like, I, I don't know what I don't know on like these areas of it. And so that's why I really appreciate [00:37:00] perspective from, from yourself where you've honestly seen a lot more. of the shit than I have. And I'm still like relatively new to this world. And so I only see my, you know, little like 10 percent of it.

Yuki: And, you know, again, part of what made, I think this episode particularly challenging was not having that like firsthand comprehensive experience with all these drugs that we're talking about. Because, you know, we're limited to honestly, most of the drugs that, that we do, like, obviously we. set those in like the higher tiers because they're the ones that we do and we wouldn't want to like You know, there's this like bias internally that, you know, if I'm doing a drug, I'd probably be pretty hesitant to put it on like a lower tier.

Yuki: If I recognize the negative health benefits and you know, this is also like an episode that we want to be like revisiting every year and relisting things. And so one thing I'm most excited for is as we gain new [00:38:00] knowledge and new experiences actually seeing like how this tier list evolves over the coming years.

De'Vannon: Correct. You know, and all of that, you know, you're open minded, open to the open to the feedback. You're going to do just fine in life, Yuki. I will concur with you all on the destructive nature of heroin, crystal meth and crack, having done all three of those. Okay, I can concur, having hung out with people who do those in mass abundance.

De'Vannon: The argument that I think Reggie was posing about how he despises heroin because, or maybe it was you, because when he saw one of his friends go down with that, you get into sticky waters with that because people can lose all of their shit and become homeless on anything on the list. So, so, so that's not a strong argument against heroin.

De'Vannon: The [00:39:00] thing is, none of, I don't think any drug is inherently bad, it's just certain shit don't mix well with certain people. And so people, if they're not being authentic and telling themselves the truth, allow themselves to do what y'all rightfully said, like y'all were talking about going to the, to the bathroom to do cocaine.

De'Vannon: And it was really more about the community and the socialization of it all. I loved how you, when you were talking about when you used to be, you know, a fuck boy. And hooking up, you still tied it back to community because you were like, I'm going to go bang all these bitches over here, but I'm going to talk about it with the homies, like you still had like a, you were still like coming from like a loving place at the end of the day with it, or at least using it and alchemizing it once you got back home and, you know, wash your nuts off and everything.

De'Vannon: Is how. So there's a strong community aspect of it. And I'm so glad that y'all brought that up because a lot of people, and I've done this myself, long past the time where the drugs are pleasurable in any way, you're still doing it [00:40:00] because you feel like you need to hang out with the people. And 

Yuki: so a hundred percent.

Yuki: Yeah, no. And I'm, I'm so glad you mentioned that because I think a point that we've been trying to drive home more over like our more recent batch of episodes is that. Your experience with drugs and your, like, proclivity for doing drugs is so heavily influenced by the environment that you're in and the people that you're around because, like, of course, if everyone around you is doing X drug, then you are more likely than not going to be doing that same drug.

Yuki: And for me, like, you know, I ride myself on having, you know, like, a level head and, like, generally knowing when I should stop or take things easy. But even for me, I think if I spent too much time hanging out with a certain group of people, like, yeah, I would maybe end up doing, like, a little too much ketamine or a little bit too much 2C.

Yuki: And that's why, you know, I've been trying to mention that it is good to just, like, [00:41:00] get out sometimes, like get out of the same circle of friends or get out of your city every once in a while. And so I'm very fortunate in the sense that I've kind of like built these breaks into my life where my girlfriend and I will travel for at least a month or two at a time.

Yuki: And in that time, we're like, Not doing any drugs. Maybe we're doing a little bit of shrooms. But that's like a break that I've realized is incredibly valuable to me. And, you know, now the question is, like, how can other people feel like they have access to that same break, you know, without having to thank Frickin travel like halfway across the world for a while, like, how can you kind of take it upon yourself to maybe like, not detach yourself from a group, but like know when, hey, I've spent a lot of time with this group that does a lot of like this drug, you know, maybe instead of seeing them like twice a week for a while, maybe this month, you know, I'll just see them, you know, like, once or twice, and I'll try to make time to this other group of friends that does a different drug or doesn't do drugs at all.

Yuki: [00:42:00] And I think Having that, that space in your life, it kind of helps you, like, self regulate your intake of, of certain substances that I think can go a long way in making sure that you're not overdoing it or, you know, not, not getting chemically addicted to something. 

De'Vannon: Again, what you're talking to goes back to conscious living.

De'Vannon: When you're playing with something as powerful as drugs, be they narcotics... Opioids, hallucinogenics, what the fuck ever. You must, we must come to terms with the fact that this shit is hella powerful. It could be fun, but you have to go at it with a conscious mentality. What do you intend to get out of it?

De'Vannon: You know, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. If it's a wild ass night on the town, it's a wild ass night on the town. If it's a hot sex session, it's Deep introspection, and you're trying to, like, find God and reach, reach ascension, then let's get ascended, baby. You know, you gotta know the who, what, when, where, and why.

De'Vannon: So this all goes back to be... Authentic. [00:43:00] I really feel like, I feel like God is calling us to a time, and Yuki has varied spiritual beliefs, which you can tell people if you want to. I talk about God because that's what I believe in, y'all know I don't give a fuck about the church, or whatever the hell this shit show, this dumpster fire Christianity is supposed to be.

De'Vannon: But You know what, I believe God is really, really calling us to raise and elevate ourselves or allow him to elevate us into a point of true authenticity. Because people are not happy, and yet they're doing a lot of drugs and having a lot of sex, and yet they're fucking miserable as shit. And the reason why is because they're not living, they're not living their truth.

De'Vannon: But we won't find truth until we sit down and think about shit. Everything that you just said is so damn intentional. Y'all, you and your girlfriend doing hella drugs. You understand the power. So you're gonna schedule a break so that you can continue to do hella drugs as long as you fucking want to do hella drugs.

De'Vannon: See, that's the plan. That's the plan right there. That is what a lot of people do. Okay, right. [00:44:00] Okay. In all the drugs I sold there was only one person and I could not bend him to my will and I'm just refreshing now that I look back on at the time I was pissed, you know, he takes a month off of crystal meth every now and then he just will not fucking do it.

De'Vannon: I couldn't give him the shit or nothing like that, and we'd be smoking the shit all the damn time. And so I find that fascinating. It's absolutely fascinating, this dynamic that you and your girlfriend have, and I know that you all are going to be an inspiration to the world, even though they have not seen your face, and it doesn't matter because everything is energy.

De'Vannon: The spirit of what you're saying can carry people far and wide. So it's going to be left up to everybody when they want to take a break from drugs, you know, when your body is talking to you, but you must detox, you know, I do the seven day cleanses and different things like that, you know, some, you know, whatever works for you, you got to figure it out, you know, there's all kinds of cleansing things out there, be it charcoal or fucking whatever the [00:45:00] hell you got to watch out for your gut health to use you're talking about how the mushrooms and fuck with your stomach, you got to keep your probiotics around.

De'Vannon: So you wouldn't jump out of a plane without protection. Y'all, you're gonna, you're gonna take these drugs. You got to be smart about it, please. 

Yuki: Yeah, I, I think it really all boils down to intentionality, which you like strongly alluded to is having a specific purpose when you are taking a drug and making sure that you're,

Yuki: I think it's about making sure that you you know what you're getting into and why you're getting into it on that instance and not just starting to like take that drug for granted. I think that's something I see a lot of people fall into where though maybe Take a specific substance like more casually and more frequently and they almost start like taking it for granted or it's almost it's like assumed aspect in their life and and in many ways that I [00:46:00] think like, you know, for me, spirituality boils down to a lot of just like mindfulness and gratitude and kind of like positive vibrations and, and love.

Yuki: I think applying that same element of mindfulness and gratitude to the drugs you're taking can go a long way because that will make sure that every experience that you have with drugs, you can be like grateful for it and you can enjoy it and not just have it become something that's like habitual or you're just kind of doing it to do it.

Yuki: And in my experience, like there have been nights where, you know, my, my girlfriend and my friends are Are doing a certain drug and for whatever reason, I'm just like, I'm not really in the mood, you know, I'm still like hanging out but I'm like, I just don't feel like doing ketamine or to CB on this night.

Yuki: I'm just going to stay sober and like, that's totally okay. And part of that is like me being mindful about it just knowing like, you know, this isn't really something that's going to like, bring me the regular amount of joy that that [00:47:00] it usually does on this night. But it's also because The people I'm around, they're not going to, like, judge me for that in any way, you know, everyone's going to totally understand, they'll be like, okay, cool, like, understood.

Yuki: All good. They're not going to, like, pressure me or judge me in any way. So I think it's important to also surround yourself with good people. That rings true all the time, but even more so when there are drugs involved, because I think that Any drug, not just psychedelics really accentuates whatever vibes are happening and it can accentuate things in the positive direction or in the negative direction.

Yuki: And I think that's just more of like the dynamics of, of groups and in friendships. 

De'Vannon: Yeah, because when you do drugs, it changes your vibration. That's why some people can use drugs to reach other realms and things like that because it does change you. It's not, you're not just drinking alcohol. You're not just smoking weed.

De'Vannon: You're not just doing [00:48:00] whatever drugs from this list is actually a spiritual experience, whether you want to look at it that way or not. And I wonder what happens to people like I've been covering on my show how people use like sex magic and things like that to try to control people and to harm them.

De'Vannon: You nod your head, but a lot of people have not fucking heard of this and they're and they're out there. Of course, where you're at, Austin is a very witchy town, which I love. And but people are out there having all this sex with people who don't even who really don't have good will towards them in their heart.

De'Vannon: It's a very. It's a, it's one of those things that Solomon from, from the book of Ecclesiastes would have called a, a vanity of vanity and a great evil, you know, people are willing to get naked and have what's supposed to be a sacred experience, sexual experience with people who in their heart, they despise the person, but they'll sleep with them anyway.

De'Vannon: And so I think that's one of the most fucked up things ever in the world. But but if you throw in, if somebody is [00:49:00] going to be high on something or drinking. And you have all of that negative intention infused with the infusion and the spiritual infusion and the psychic infusion that comes along with sex.

De'Vannon: This is why the people are just all fucked up. That's one huge reason why. It's a very difficult cohort to unravel when people have done that too much. I want you to tell people, cause you said that you travel for two months, just in case somebody's out there thinking that you have to be a freaking millionaire in order to do that.

De'Vannon: And you might be for all I know, but No, 

Yuki: definitely not a millionaire. 

De'Vannon: Can you, do you have any travel tips? Because some people really in their heads don't, they don't understand how you can plan ahead, save money, look here, look there, and actually travel to far places of the world. Any travel 

Yuki: tips? Yeah.

Yuki: It's funny you mentioned this because I'm actually working on a new like content channel to actually focus. It's [00:50:00] solely on like travel tips and things like that. So yeah, my perspective just in a nutshell on it is the reason I'm able to travel like more than half the year is because I have a remote job.

Yuki: So like step one is if in any way you can figure out how to get a remote job, like that is. The first, the most important and a lot of cases, the hardest step, like I was lucky that I went to school in a field that just has a natural proclivity for remote work. But even if you don't have that background, like there are ways where you can make that happen.

Yuki: And if it's a goal that you set your for yourself remote work, just the amount of flexibility and talking about freedom for a lot of this episode, like the amount of freedom that it gives you. Like the world can become your oyster and because you're not limited to just traveling, you know, in the US, if you're from the US or in your home country, you can go to places that are really freaking cheap.

Yuki: Like some of those beautiful places in the world, you can go to and [00:51:00] live very well in for like. You know, under 2, 000 a month or something like that. And it's just about giving yourself the opportunity to have that freedom to do that to still have that income from anywhere in the world. Granted, like time zones and things might, might make that tough, but it's about.

Yuki: A, giving yourself the freedom to do that, and then B, being intentional about doing something with that freedom. Because I have plenty of friends who have got remote jobs, but they've really just taken that, that freedom, and they've kind of just used it to spend more time in their apartments, they don't get out a whole much, and I've actually seen people get like progressively more isolated doing that.

Yuki: And that's why, you know, we come to this intentionality piece where it is really important to go out and, and like, try to do those things like put yourself out there. And, you know, that takes. effort that takes planning that can be really freaking scary to go halfway around the world to a new [00:52:00]country where you don't speak the language and just like figure things out.

Yuki: But you know, if that's something that you know that you want, I think it's a dream that a lot of people strive for. And I do think it is a worthy goal to strive for because you'll get So many new experiences. So many new learnings out of something like that. And obviously there's ways where you can do that, where you don't need a remote job.

Yuki: You know, it's a matter of balancing like your work life and then your travels. But if you can find a balance of that, that works for you, then You know, whatever works for you, whatever brings you the most joy, you know like, we, we've been thinking of doing less like multi month trips and maybe doing more concentrated, you know, like, let's say, once a quarter going on, like, a week long trip where we actually, like, take time off of work.

Yuki: And we're not so. Working while we're traveling and so we get a lot more just like quality time to explore a place. [00:53:00] Like, that's also an alternative and just a matter of, like, just doing the planning, like, figuring out where you want to go. And ideally, if you have. It's like a partner or a small friend group of people who you're confident that you'd enjoy traveling with just mobilizing that group to go make these trips happen.

Yuki: Because also if you travel with a group or with someone else that, that will help keep costs down a lot more than, than if you travel alone. So just a few like high level tidbits, but what, once I launched my, my new project, I'll, I'll be sure to, I'll be sure to share it with you. Cause that's the way the, the whole point of it, to be honest.

De'Vannon: I'm so happy that that we're on the same page, energetically speaking. I see you. I see you. So, thank you for the wisdom you just gave us. Before we get over into my dad joke section, yes, dad jokes are coming at you again today. Just to recap, y'all, we gave you a different perspective on Friday nights.

De'Vannon: We talked about [00:54:00] drugs, and I'm referring you back to the Modern Day Hippie podcast to get the, in the, the true tea on this entire long list that, that, that, that you and Reggie did. It's quite a delicious show to listen to. It is quite a delicious show. We've encourage you to take a counter intuitive approach really to every aspect of your life in order to create new energy there.

De'Vannon: We've warned you against fake ass weeded. And and, and, and, and, and he's told you how you can travel. He's, he's schooled you on toxic masculinity and how he got delivered from it and how he's still open minded to work into it. And the man is smart enough to listen to his girl instead of fighting with her now.

De'Vannon: And so with that dad joke, number one, you're ready. You, you stay ready. 

Yuki: I've been, I've been looking forward to 

De'Vannon: this. Why doesn't, why doesn't the season summer have any friends?[00:55:00]

De'Vannon: I don't know 

Yuki: because it's not cool enough. Of course summer, she should 

De'Vannon: chill out.

Yuki: Yeah. Yeah. Especially down here in Texas. 

De'Vannon: Okay. Number two. What do you get when you combine an elephant with a fish?

De'Vannon: A whale swimming trunks. Oh my God. 

Yuki: That's a good one. 

De'Vannon: All right. Last one. Why do bananas use sunscreen?

De'Vannon: I don't know. So that they don't peel. 

Yuki: Okay. Okay. 

De'Vannon: Next time. Come on the show. Hi, and you do get like all of 

Yuki: them. No, I'm I'm legitimately so bad at these. I get my girlfriend is like [00:56:00] amazing at puzzles and shit like this. I'm like. Not great. I'm very smart in like a math y logical way, but puzzles are not my jam.

De'Vannon: Alright, phenomenal. Y'all, the web, the podcast is Modern Day Hippie Podcast. He's on Twitter, YouTube. Instagram everything, all the things. Are you, you have a TikTok channel too? We 

Yuki: do, yeah. It's I believe it's at MDH Pod and that's our tag on most socials. But yeah, full episodes. Most of the content is on YouTube, Spotify, apple podcasts, et cetera.

De'Vannon: Okay, I love me some tiki taki. Okay, do you have any last words for the world, Yuki, before I let you go kiss your girlfriend? I kissed the girl and I liked it. 

Yuki: Yeah I mean, thank you so much for having me back. Again, I really enjoyed the conversation and I'm sure we could have an infinite number of of very good [00:57:00] conversations.

Yuki: And I think what I got the most out of our conversation today was just the reminders about intentionality and mindfulness and I think approaching each day and each action with a sense of purpose. I think just having that Subtle mindset shift for honestly, anyone, no matter where you're at in your life I think can go a long way and just feeling more, more grateful and happier and just giving you that, that glow that, that we all want as we go about our lives.

Yuki: You definitely fucking 

De'Vannon: glowing. You're definitely fucking glowing. You're, you're, you're, you're in your glow up right now. I feel like you've been in a while though. You know, who said it has to, it has to be short if y'all don't know what a glow up is. I guess that's
