I didn't say it did. What I said was that DMT is endogenously produced by the pineal gland. DMT makes LSD look like breath mints. Wink

Having no direct experience of either, I'll take your word for it. Be careful, some of these more complex chemicals end up being way more harmful than initially thought (ecstasy being a prime example - use burning out serotonergic synapses leaving the subjects with almost untreatable depression).
 
Interesting but dangerous territory.
 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

You have to wonder if humans and other animals aren't predisposed to intoxicating or stimulating themselves.  I seem to remember reading that coffee was discovered by people seeing goats eating the stuff and becoming frisky.

Ants in the fridge, hell.  Be very worried about the frisky goats...

Indeed ...MDMA is no toy. Dimethyltryptamine OTOH occures naturally in the human body & is treated by the brain as being necessary for healthy function, the same way that seratonin & other tryptamines are treated. I enthusiastically recommend DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman, MD for further information concerning the states of consciousness conducive to endogenous DMT production, e.g. birth, R.E.M. sleep, meditation, prolongued prayer, schizophrenia, mantra, extreme stress, death, etc, as well as the effects (as benign as they are) DMT exerts upon the brain. Did you read the article, the link to which I included in my previous post?

About 5 years ago I read a book called Animals & Psychedelics by Giorgio Samorini. He documented extensively the use of psychoactive compounds among a whole myriad of wild & domesticated animals & insects. It is his proposal (& I wholly agree with him) that the will to intoxication is as basic & widespread as the will to procreate.

Have you ever seen birds getting crazy with the over-ripe fruit, they'll fly right into windows etc.

As a non drug user, it certainly can get annoying being accused of most likely using them all based on the stereotypes that go along with being a fan of so called "psychedelic" music.

I believe some people just have an inclination towards experiencing and creating certain kinds of music just as they do towards enjoying certain flavors of intoxication; it seems to me that they have no direct influence on each other.
