He Died From Overdose And Changed His Life Forever - Near Death Experience (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Michael Weld had a near-death experience in 2014 caused by a drug overdose from smoking Spice, a synthetic marijuana. He smoked a blunt three times and passed out. He awoke in a grayish light filled with opal-like orbs. He felt pure joy and bliss, detached from Earth. He communicated with an orb using gibberish and said 'Jesus,' which altered his state. He was pulled into a dark area below the light, feeling despair and separation from God's light. He floated back up but returned to his body. He sat up aware on his front porch, with burn marks on his leg from the dropped blunt. After the NDE, Michael deepened his Christian faith, reading the Bible as a guide for peace. He lost fear of death, views life as learning to shed negative emotions for eternal joy, and shares his story to encourage others to seek positive spirituality.
“and I knew I was out of the light of God I felt it I said it I said it to myself”
This account describes a subjective spiritual NDE during a drug overdose with no claims of veridical perceptions of physical events, people, or conversations. Despite evidence of deep unconsciousness from the burn injury sustained while unresponsive, the experience lacks any impossible access, specific verifiable details, or independent verification, limiting evidential strength.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
