What about the possibility that shared experience of black people in a toxic society result in a higher occurence of these themes presenting themselves during the course of a difficult psychedelic experience?

This article assumes a lot about the experience¹, while also strangely blaming the latin american heritage of this novel compound for unpleasant experiences of some users. Finally, there appers to have been minimal research, as DMT sources exist on the african continent, and users of all backgrounds are capable of having perceived negative encounters with the machine elves.

[edit: spelling, clarity, footnote]

¹that when smoking DMT, one actually engages extradimensional entities and not projections from one's own mind, for one.

"Are DMT beings AI?"

the whole piece reads like a satire badly written by ChatGPT

Why did you post it?

It's interesting to see how ideologically motivated people think even when it comes to life changing drugs, I highly doubt that the author has actually tried DMT.

It's interesting to me how people will react to something that seems over-the-top ridiculous with responses along the lines of "omg, this has to be satire"---seemingly without considering the possibility that it is, in fact, satire. Poe's law is a real phenomenon, but I'm fairly convinced this site is a joke.
